British Adopt N C
Type as Best for
Overseas Flights

Naval experts here are pay
ing particular attention to the
opinion OF the British flyer,
Capt. AIcock. that the vessel
for transatlantic flying Is the
seaplane and not the airplane
type used by himself, thus in
dicating that the British ad-
miralty proposes to develop the
American type used by Comdr.
Read.
1t Is not believed British naval
constructors can improve the
American type OF flying boat
sooner than it can be done by
the Bureau of Construction
here.
The department comedies with
Alcock's suggestion that a ship
of the NC-4 type can make a
nonstop flight, but the Amer
lean idea is that such initial
lifting power should be provid-
ed as will enable the boat to
rise with crew and cargo. Once
that has been done only a fair
proportion OF the motive power
need be used for actual aerial
transit.
Naval people believe the first
nonstop flight of a house boat"
across the Atlantic will be made
in an American NC vessel.

to the point of bluntness, 1t is not

not ask, either, the assistance of the

HUN SPY WORK
IS REVEALED BY
Cen. CHURCHILL
He Tells Solons Army Was
Honeycombed with
Agents.

The manner in which German spies
in the American army were foiled
during the war was told to the SEN
ate Military Affairs Committee yes
terday by Bng. Gen. Marlborough
Churchill. head of the Military Intel
ligence Service.
Through their marvellous method OF
organization. the German Secret Serv-
ice in the United States undertook to
place agents in every brigade, divi-
sion and other large unit Of the army.
Gen. Churchill said. They succeeded
partly in carrying out this plan. but
the system was uprooted and driven
out through the agency OF the Mill
tary Intelligence and other branches
Of the American Secret Service
The German plans were formulated
on a large scale. involving enormous
expenditures OF money. according TO
Gen. Churchill but Notwithstanding
this the amount OF damage done was
relatively small, and several Of the
spies within the army ranks were in
tercepted.
Kept Tabs on Radicals,
Gen. Churchill also told the COM
mittee that he had in his possession

out this plan the Military Intelli-
gence made surveys of every sortion
in which radical movements were
noticed.
General Churchill said he regard

II furnished the authorities with a

such movements.
