In getting there the navy planes
picked for the flight would follow
the coast as far as Halifax, and
possibly to a point as far north as
Sydney, and then strike east-north-
east along the south coast of New
fCundland. In case of trouble there
is an abundance of harbors along
the Newfoundland coast which
would furnish landing places and
the risks of the first stage would
be reduced thereby to a minimum.
viii Avoid Needless Changes.
The length of the stay at Broyle
harbor would be determined wholly
by the conduct of the ships in their
flight thither, their condition on ar
rival and the weather. 1t is known
that the officers in charge of ar
rangements are preparing for
fairly long wait rather than take
airy chances of failure on the next
and longest leg of their journey.
This is from Broyle harbor to
Fayal Horta, which is said to have
been chosen for the terminus, has
a fine harbor. opening to the south.
The distance from Rockaway to the
Newfoundland base. on the strai ght-
away. is about nine hundred forty
miles. and from Newfoundland to
the Azores slightly less than ] 200.
From Ho~ta to Lisbon, which so
far 5s is understood now will end
the cruise, is $50 miles. The Sight
complete will total 5000 miles.

New York.-Thirty-s petty Off
=eers and mechanics have been sent
from the ROckaway aviation station
to the navy yard in Brooklyn to
take ships to stations on the course
OF the navy's projected trans-Atlan-
tic flight. With them will go spare
motors and parts for repairs or
substitutions on the NC flying
boats.
With the departure of this ad-
vance guard the conviction has
grown among those who have been
following the preparations that the
route from Newfoundland to the
Azores rather than the Ireland
route has been definitely decided
on The understanding Of the men
is that part of them are to be sent
70 Broyle harbor. Newfoundland;
and part to Lisbon. If such prove
eventually to be the orders, the
plan of flight, which has been a
closely guarded secret of the navy
department, becomes clear.

REQUIRE NEW CONGRESS TO
MEET ON MARCH S.

The refusal of President Wilson to
| call the new congress in extra session
| Immediately following the 4th of
March is no doubt responsible for a
bill that has just been introduced by
Congressman Macarthur, of Oregon.
This bill provides for an additional
session of congress on March 5, 1921,
and biennially thereafter This will
take from the president the power
that he now possesses to run the gov
eminent as he chooses from the 4th of
March in every odd year until the
first Monday in December following, a
period Of nine months Few presi-
dents have abused this power, but
since President Wilson has been in
the White House the people have been
brought to realize the danger of tur-
ming over to one man the authority
of an autocrat, while the duly elected
representatives Of the people are pow
erless to put check upon his actions.
Not only does the Macarthur bill strip
the president Of his autocratic author
ity, but it turns that authority back
to the people through their represen-
tatives and permits them to assume
the reins of legislation nine months
earlier than is now possible except at
the will of the president. Under the
present system there elapses an in
terval of thirteen months between the
election of new congress in Novem-
Der and the time they are regularly
convened under the law in December
of the following year. The Macarthur
measure will cut that period to four
months.
