warfare and a peril of such serious

La the Germans known where their
undersea craft were in more than or

areas. Informed IS to the mean by

It is claimed. too. that the policy of
silence had another effect, also i'm

it is even said that thus is to be ex-
planned at least a part of the insubor-
dination hat marked the German
navys through the latter part Of It's
history. That theory is plausible. but
it is not quite convincing. Germans
are sentimental. but they are not

that the Decentralization Of their navy
was thus brought about There were

U. S. Army and Navy Officers
UnreservedIy Glad British
AviatorS Achieved Success

Officers Of the Army and Navy are
enthusiastic over the great achieve
ment of the British aviators in cross
ing the Atlantic in one flight.
"It was a wonderful feat" said
Secretary Daniels. Il congratulate
Mr.. Alcock and rejoice with him.
His flight is indicative of the great
things that are ahead in aviation"
Rear Armiral David w. Taylor.
chief naval constructor, also ex-
pressed admiration of the pluck of
the two British aviators.
IT am heartily glad they made it,"
Admiral Taylor declared. "It means
that long distance flying will become
Immediately more popular, and we
can expect other record-making
trips"
Some speculation is heard as to the
possible effect of the Vickers-Vimy
planes success upon plans of the
Army air service for the transconti-
mental flight. The announced sched-
ule is for one "hop" from Mineola,
Long Island. to North Platte. Neb.,
about 1902 miles, or some $50 miles
less than the record set by the Brit
ish aviaters. 1t would not therefore
surprise followers of the Army air
service If these plans should be now
redrawn. The suggestion already has
been made that, with an increased
fuel capacity and the elimination of
some weight. the Martin bomber to
be used in the New YorkSan Fran
cisco flieht should be able to traverse
not less than 1000 miles before max
ing the initial and only landing of
the flight.

Air History Marches Swiftly.

How swiftly the history of the air
has marched is illustrated by the fact
that today's milestone excited scarce
1y more amazement in England than
the Frenchman's adventure.
Yesterday the names of Alcock and
Brown would have been practically
unrecognized by the British public,
to whom Hawker and Grieve were al
most better known than their gen.
erals and admirals. Their undertake
ing had been comparatively little ad-
vertised, nor had it the appealing
features of suspense and human sym
pathy which the fate of Hawker and
Grieve commanded. Most of the
Sunday morning papers gave greater
prominence to the divorce suits of
society announced Saturday than to
the launching of the Vickers- -Vimy
machine from Newfoundland.

Manchester. Alcock's home town, de-

likely he would come to London be-

added that at any rate two generous
receptions awaited Alcock and Brown
Although intensely interested in the
flight. Londoners apparently were not
as enthusiastic as during Hawkers
attempt to span the ocean. The
people also seemed to remember when
the news of the success of the trip
reached London the erroneous reports
first given out that Hawker had been
sighted near Ireland. The question,
rs it true?" was heard on many
sides when the extra editions of the
newspapers appeared on the streets.
Few workmen were on duty at the
Vickers plant, where Alcock's plane
was constructed. but those there
cheered the news. The manager of
the plant said the company always
had had great confidence in Alcock,
who was with the company before the
war. He added that there was MOTH
ing special in the construction of the
machine which made the fight. except
that petrol tanks had replaced the
bombing apparatus.
