impetus to the work on this side.
The navy department during the war
developed n monster seaplane equipped
with three Liberty motors, giving 1t
about 1900 horsepower. This machine
has as its body substantially built
boat and has carried as high as fifty
one persons in flights of considerable
length. 1t has been tested out along
the Atlantic coast with great success
within the last few weeks.
Land to Land Trip In 20 Hours.
When the project of transatlantic
flight was urged here by Major.Gen.
Brancker of the British air service
last year it was brought out that the
shortest distance would be from New
foundland to the Irish coast. This
is approximately 1000 miles, and given
a plane capable of a sustained speed
of 100 miles an hour it could be made
in twenty hours. So far as known,
however, no plane has yet been built
which could make the trip without
stopping for refueling.
The route most generally favored in
naval circles, however. is by way of
the Azores, with stop at these
islands for fuel and oil. This would
make the first leg 1900 miles and the
final lap 700. Some officers favor
halfway stop at sea to refuel from
destroyer If it is considered impossible
to make the trip in a single flight.
In general way it has been said
heretofore that the crew of any plane
attempting to cross the Atlantic would
be composed of at least five men, two
pilots to provide relief at the levers,
two mechanics to care for the engines
and Il navigating officer to chart the
course.
Conditions Ripe About June.
AS to the weather it was said that
probably not before June would condi-
tons become stable enough to warrant
an attempt. Another quiet period &C.

doubtful that all preparations could be
made by the summer period, although
this is one of the things Commander

Indifferent to the German spy system
which overran the country years and
years before the war, she might have
saved herself an immense amount of
trouble; but what was done during
the war in circumventing German
treachery and cunning has been amaz

gigantic failure. And the explanation
of that failure appears to lie in a
very real understanding of the Ger
man mind on the part of the intelli-
gence department. They realized tina,
the German has not yet been born who
can resist fact. Give German
one little fact to play with and it will
keep him happy for hours.
Therefore, the industrious German
agents were supplied with facts, and
the English intelligence department
watched quietly while they played
with them. The facts were entirely
unimportant and sometimes they were
not facts ut all, but they served their
purpose and revealed the identity of
still more members of the German
service.
