"My God, know not how die;
For death has many ways to come,
In dark mysterious agony,
or gently as sleep to some,
Just S Thou wilt, if but it be
To bring me- blessed Lord. to Thee F."

three engines Of 100 horse power. The
latest Cnproni. when tested at Mineola
on September % last, was furnished
with three Liberty motors Of unknown

105 miles an hour carrying five men
and 1900 pounds OF lead.
Ocean No Barrier.
The transatlantic flight Is, of course.
n matter for the navy department to
decide, but although he would not dis
cuss possible plans for its execution
on this account Mr.. curtiss said with
out reservation that the fight was
within the power Of the Colossus.
Although reluctant TO talk on this
subject Mr.. CurtIss spoke ut length
on further aviation and predicted the
commercial use OF seaplanes for pas
senger and freight service between
ports along the Atlantic coast and the
West Indies.
"0f course one Of the first develop
ments In commercial aviation will be
the use Of flying boats and seaplanes
for passenger and package carrying
along the Atlantic const and the West
Indies" he said. II believe we shall
soon have transatlantic flights. The
reason believe this and that I believe
marine flying generally will be deyel-
oped quicker than land flying is be-
cause no new landing fields are need
ed. In other words. terminal facili-
ties are already provided. for quiet
harbors. rivers and small lakes are
ideal landing places"
Praises the Navy.
Mr.. Curtiss praises the navy depart
ment for It's financial assistance In the
experimental work necessary for the
development Of such machine as the
Colossus. The America, built for Rod.
man Wanamaker before the war, is the
progenitOr Of the Colossus and other
huge seaplanes. but there Is long gap
between them.
ut probably will be two or three
years before the commercial side OF
aviation is developed sufficiently for
the industry to stand on its own feet,
he said. "The advent Of the war made
necessary the construction of a mum
ber Of aIrpIane factories, some of which
should and will be developed into good
production plants. / suppose the gov
ernment's plan for national defense
will include liberal allowance for tht

opment OF military craft was TO pro-
duce a fighting machine, one IN which
maximum amount Of armament and
ammunition could be carried without
sacrificing speed, maneuyering abil-
Ity and the protection Of the pilot and
observer arising therefrom. To con-
vert these military airplanes into COM
mercial types Of machines II Will be
necessary to change the fuselage (the
framework connecting the planes with
the tail) somewhat so that there Will
be more room for passengers and
freight, and probably increase the
wing surface to give the planes a low
er landing speed and greater cruising
fexibillty, so that 1t will not be neces.
sary for so much fuel to be carried.
"Flghting ability was the paramount
issue in the building Of military craft.
Safety is the keynote Of commercial
airplane building"
Europe Turns to Giants.
Gigantic planes are being developed
for after the war purposes in many
european countries. according to Mr.
curtIss. England and Italy are par
ticllarly active in this respect. The
exp,rience In building bombing ma
chineg, which from the very nature Of
their work must have very reliable
power Dlapts and large weight car
rying capacity, is now proving val
liable for peace purposes.
"Seyeral very long flights have been
made during the war;" Mr.. Curtiss
said. Il look to see European deyel-
opment proceed rapidly. Norway,
Sweden and Denmark are ell making
plans for commercial aviation, and
understand that, they are on the verge
Of starting several mail routes as soon
as peace Is assured"
Both land and water flying machines
will be within the province of the
