Big 'Bomber,' Laden
With Scribes, Flies
Over New York City
Glen Martin Machine Takes
Newspaper Men CIV Trip
to Sec Town: Is Second
of Its Type TO BE Built

The Leviathan is not such big
ship, after all. At least it isn't big
or it is, according TO the way it is
viewed. And when one views it from
u height of about 1000 feet it isn't
"such much" as the saying is.
The question of the Lcviathan's size
was definitely settled by several news
paper men who flew over greater New
York yesterday. 1t was the maiden
voyage for most of them and com
pleted their cycle of being. They had
previously been "in," ".hroush,"
around" and "under" the greater city.
The fight was made from the army
hangers at Hazclhurst Field, Mineola,
in Glenn Martin "bomber,' of which
but two have been built, the other being
on exhibition at the Aeronautical Ex-
position at Madison Square Garden.
The plane, which has spread of II
feet and is run by two 400 horse power
Liberty motors, made three trips over
the city. On each Of these Captain
Roy N. Francis, L. S. A., who is in
charge Of the army's plans for trans
atlantic fight, was the pilot.
The machine left the field on its
first trip at 1858 in the morning. In
it were Gordon Lamont Of "The Even
ing POST" Richard Watkins, of "The
Sum-" Howard l.. Mingos, Of "The
Evening Sum- and NJ. Mack Nomburg
of "The Tribune" Flying against q
forty-milc wind, slow progress was
made on the way into the city. Sixty
miles an hour was the average.
The course, something over twenty
miles each way, lay over Long Island
City and into New York over He'll Gate
Bridge. The height attained WAS about
1000 feet. Over the city the wind
shifted a bit, making the travelling
easier. Central Park, the Metropolitan
Building and several others flashed by
Reaching the lower part Of Manhattan
Island, Captain Francis circled the
Wooworth Building and made his way
uptown again.
On the return trip the city was left
behind at 1i:gs and Hazelhurst Field
vas reached at 1888, ten minutes
later. Throughout the "TRIP, despite
the wind, the absence of chill in the
air seemed remarkable. The ground
registry was 4b degrees; at 1900 feet
the thermometer registered thirty
The plane on the second trip left the
field at 1l:5S, with W. II. Zerbc, Of
"'rhe Herald" G. K. Wood and V. &.
Byers, Of "The Associated Press" and
Donald II. Clarke, of "The World
The machine made the round trip in
forty-one minutes.
r. f. McCabe and Douglas Silver, of
"The Herald" and W. A. Krohn, a pho
tographer, were taken up on the last
trip. They left the field at 1:l2 and
returned at J :56.
Captain Francis will leave for Wash
ington in the plane in a few days on
the first leg of trip to the army svia-
tion field at Houston, Texas.

Senator Condemns Leniencv

The War Departments leniency tow

fences, was classed Yesterday by SEN
ator George T. Chamberlain. chairman
Of the Senate Committee OF. Military
Affairs, under the Democratic admins
tration, ,as possible contrbutory
cause of Bolshcvism's spread in the
United States.
Senator Chamberlain spoke at
luncheon given by the United Waist
League of America at the Hotel Nc
Alpin. He said:
"You have seen pardons issued TO
individuals, confined in prisons, who
were not willing to fight for thcir
country, and yet you have seen boys
who, like your son and my son, shoul-
dercd muskets in battle, given from
five to fifty years for minor infrac-
tions Of military regulations.
"When you imbue young man with
the feeling that he has been unjustly
treated, you make him tend toward
anarchy, toward the Bolshevism which
we must not grant a foothold in
America.
Would Free Minor Offenders
"1f had had my way The slight of

otherwise did their patriotic duty. and
not those whose religious convictions
made them too proud to fight, would

at has been my pleasure to point
out some of the instances OF lnis in
justice. Mere boys, seventeen and
eighteen years old, were g:4en heavy
sentences for leaving camp to bid fare
we'll to an invalid motner or a sweet
heart who happened to be nearby. In
one case five days absence without
leave drew a sentence of forty years.
"We must cure this thing if Boil
shevism is to be checked. The trouble
lies in the fact that the commanding
officer has power to reconvenc a court
martial whose findings do not suit him
and even to instruct different yer

Far play and jobs to returned sol
diers, proper consideration for the
needs Of labor and deportation of un-
desirabes were the three great post
war policies needed by the country
Senator Chamberlain said.
Export BoIsheviki He Advises

he declared amid lauhgter. we string
a Bolshevist up occasionally and wo

George l.. Baker. Mayor Of Portland

Impossible.
Asked what the sentiment in the
West is toward the proposed draft
for the league Of nations, Mr.. Baker
said:
~ think the lucid explanations Of
Mr.. Taft have swung large number
of Wcsterners to favor The draft.
"Whatever happens, we must not be
moved by emotionalism. In a matter
