believed in the Liberty Motor, and the
more abuse and criticism the engine re-
ceived in its early days the stronger
was his advocacy of it. He has always
contended that the decision arrived at
on May 20, 1917, by Colonel E. A. Deeds.
that the first great step in preparation
for actual aerial combat was the de-
signing of an engine of great power
capable of manufacture by American
cumulative production methods, was
one of the boldest and widest decisions
of the war.
It's the greatest aerial engine in
the world" continued Lieutenant EN-
mons This has long been understood
by the French and English. Now our
people will understand it. The motors
that drove the seaplanes to the Azores
were just regular rum of-producton
machlne-tool made engines Of the low
compression variety made by us for the
navy
Early Criticisms Recalled
When we started making Liberty
motors the whole world. including
most of our domestic critics, said that
a machine-made engine of such refine
ment was an impossibility. We were
abused, like condemned pirates, for
taking up some European model, and
we were scolded right and left because
we intrusted the making of the motors
to the manufacturers Of automobiles,
although neither then nor since has
any one ever told US who should make
internal combustion engines in this
country unless it was the concerns
that had had the most experience in
making them.
"The shining triumph of the Liberty
engine is a great honor for the com
panies that carried through the heavy
task and reflects we'll deserved credit
on all the engineers who contributed
to the design and on all the makers of
parts and suppliers of material.
American engineering genius and
manufacturing skill gave their best to
the Liberty engine and the product
was worthy of their reputation for
great things"

WASHINGTON, May 17-With the
arrival of the NC-4 at Horta, after a
continuous flight of about 1900 miles,
the Liberty Motor achieves the dis
tinction of having furnished the power
for one of the longest continuous
flights of any form of airplane The
Aircraft Production Bureau, in Wash

demonstration of the durability and
reliability of the great American en-
CINE.
1T is simply another, though most
agreeably sensational demonstration
that the Liberty engine is consistent

tenant Harold Emmons, u. S. n R. F.,
o. Detroit, who has been attached to
the Aircraft Production Bureau since
the beginning Of the war as the chief
of engine production.
Lieutenant Emmons superintended
engine construction under contracts
for 100000 of all kinds at stipulated
cost Of about s4500O0,0 900. Before pro-
duction was stopped, about 10000 en-

The start Friday night was made
while Captain Frederick P. Raynham
British pilot of the Martinsyde plane,
and Harry G. Hawker, Australian fiier
OF the Sopwith biplane, were still wait
ing for favorable weather conditions
to commence their attempt for the
London Daily Mail" prize of $4,000,
a prize which the American naval avi-
stors cannot compete for.
The two British aviators have been
waiting in Newfoundland since the
middle OF March. On one occasion,
after they had announced their inten-
ton OF starting, the entire government
of Newfoundland went to their field
to witness the start, and public Holt
day was proclaimed throughout the
island. The start was postponed at
the last minute owing to adverse
weather conditions
The British contingent at New
foundland recently has been aug
mented by Colonel Porte's huge tri-
plane flying boat-the Felixstowe Fury,
the largest airplane in the world; and

has demonstrated the wisdom of the
experiment.
They point out that the flight gives
opportunity for utilization of destroy
ers and capital ships that otherwise
would be used in feet moneuvres
which, they say, is much more costly
operation than assisting the air feet
in the transocean fight.
we have the ships and we have the
'planes,' said one naval official, "and
in the transatlantic bridge being
in the transatlantic "bridge" being
practically stationary, are burning less
fuel than they would be if cruising.
The use Of the battleships gives the
captains excellent opportunity to en-
gage their crews in drills and ship
schooling, which will increase their ef-
ticlency for future service.
1T is no more costly to send sea-
planes on transatlantic flight than
test flights offshore. The long dis
lance cruise already has demonstrated
that these planes can be converted
into bombing planes for cooperation
with the feet in any future naval
operations the United States govern
ment may have to meet"

gates attending the second Pan Ameri-
can aeronautical convention.
Representatives of seven countries
were seated with American authorities
from every state in the union at a
luncheon in honor of General Amelio
gliemotti, Italian military attache,
at the Traymore Hotel, when President
Alan R. Hawley, of the Aero Club of
America, read the message. The crowd
arose as unit in tribute to the daring
crew which accomplished the task, and
broke into enthusiastic cheers for the
commander and his associates Colonel
William A. Bishop, youthful Canadian
ace, who is officially credited with
bringing down seventytwo German
planes, was another honor guest at
the luncheon.
Commenting later on the record trip
Of the NC-4 Mr.. Hawley said:
THE successful fight Of the NC-4
to Horta is indeed a marvellous achieve
ment and reflects the greatest possible
credit upon the United States Navy
and the intrepid navigators of the
winged ship. 1t presages success in
the achievement of the dream Of man
to bridge the Atlantic. Doubtless the
NC-4 at least will finish the journey
in one more leap to Lisbon. As Presi-
dent of the Aero Club l extend my
heartiest gratulations to the United
States Navy and to the American peo-
pie. 1t is an event which will live as
long as history. 1t has demonstrated
the value of the Navy liberty motor
and has vindicated that highly valuable
piece of mechanism despite the early
criticisms which were directed against
it."
The dedication Of the Atlantic City
airport was again prevented this after
noon by bad weather. The heavy down
pour started early in the afternoon,

.ShiDpers Cautious
In Air Predictions
Flight Hailed as An,azing
Feat. but Commercial
Utility Is Questioned

The fight OF the navy seaplanes to
Inc Azores aroused unusual interest
yesterday among shipping men, but
lew would venture an opinion on heav
Ter than air machines as commercial
carriers of freight or passengers.
Carl Jungen, marine superintendent
Of the Southern Pacific Steamship
Company, who is graduate of Anna
polls and was at one time a commander
in the United States Navy, said the
flight TO the Azores was the most won
de.ful sTnplishment of the century.
The ~ undertook the big job"
he said. and the Navy made good l
nave watched carefully the prepara-
mons of those young officers and had
not the least doubt Of their success. I
am mighty proud of the boys in those
seaplsnes They displayed great nerve.
The big thing just now is that they
have beaten everybody else to it. The
hardest part OF the task is finished. 1t
was splendid OF the Navy TO lay off
a feet OF war vessels along the route,
but it would have made no difference
with the flight. Those boys would hr,'e
gone on to the Azores if there had not
been ship on the Atlantic.
The commercial possibilities Of
transatlantic air service is something
too big for discussion just now
David Lindsay, of the international
Mercantile Marine Company, said:
The flight is an achievement that
every American Will be proud of.
America turned the tide in the war;
she led the way to the North Pole. and
now she has been virtually the pioneer
In transatlantic air service.
Passenger service to Europe may
soon be popular in dirigibles, but hard
~ so in seaplanes. Passengers want
luxury and deck space One can hard
" expect these IN seapiane.
ut will be many years before air
service supplants steamship service.
Freight moves slowly. Security is
more 20 be desired than speed, SO l
guess the steamship will hold its own
Tor few generations at least"
A. c. q. Nyland, Of the Holland
American Line, said:
Development of air navigation has
been marvelously rapid. Il is interest
ing to follow but prediction is useless.
~ one can ioreteli when we will have
regular air service across the seas.
Inc next few years may bring still
greater achievements than this wonder

TOY balloons blossomed all over
the city yesterday with the head
lines which announced the arrival of
the NC-4 at the Azores. Hawkers
were quick to see the opportunity
afforded for unloading long held

vari-colored clusters yelling:

And the crowds which thronged the

5000 feet until he sighted the Island
OF Corvo. He then descended to 200
feet owing to the fog.

 "A side-step that makes nervous wrecks of opposing players meeting him in open field.

And that finished plan was presented to the high and mighty council in the billiard world, accepted and adopted as permanent plan for the establish ment of championships for the sport kings.
 The gist of this plan is to hold three championship tournaments annually, one for balkiine, one for three cush- ions, and one for pocket billiards, the champions to hold their titles for the period of one year and to be taken on tour throughout America and Canada playing exhibitions in nearly 100 cities.

BENJAMIN, THE MOSES
 OF BILLIARD WORLD

The man who organized the cue stars of America into three tourna- ments this season has done more to bring order out of chaos in that sport that any other individual has accom- plished in recent years. The successful organizer and matchmaker is R. B. Benjamin, noted sportsman and globe trotter.
 The successful 181 balkline tourney at New York, the three cushion at Cleveland and the coming pocket bil- Hard meet at Philadelphia are his work. And when this championship program is completed Bennie will take his stars on a tour of America It is the biggest season ever enjoyed in the billiard game.
 Benjamin, for the past five years has been the manager of Willie Hoppe, believed by many to be th,. greatest player America ever pro- duced.
 To even try to depict Bennie's ca reer in the sport world and there abouts would require a small library for it has been as varied as a career could possibly be. It is enough to say that he has travelled more, been in more cities, talked with more sport ing editors, and has more written about his proteges than any man in America And just few of the things he has accomplished are: Taking the Australian cricketers to England, tour ing the world with a, large and varied number of great sporting attractions; ] taking Willie Hoppe and the balkins | game out of the discard and made then both the greatest drawing cards 1T America and finally originated tn, plan for the standardization of bil- lizards.
