New Epoch in Trade
Opened by Feat of
Seaplane, Declares

Plans for Traffic AL
ready Near Com
pletion, He Asserts

The flight of the American seaplanes
across the Atlantic does not simnlx
herald new epoch in transportation
development, according to Major
Thomas R. Baldwin. 1t definitely an
nounces that that epoch is here, Off
clally open, ready for business.
Incidental delays and mishaps along
the way cannot affect this great, out
standing fact, in the opinion of Major
Baldwin, who is possibly the oldest
alrman in this country, army flying in
structor at Newport News before the
war, and since the war head of the
balloon school at Akron, Ohio, and the
man who passed upon every kite and
balloon the United States sent to the
Western front.
within eighteen MONTHS" declared
Major Baldwin, "all the transatlantic
mails will be carried by the air route" /"
The great value of the present flight,
the major holds, lies in the demonstra-
tion it will furnish to the public at
large of the practicability of trans
oceanic aerial traffic
"Airmen," he said, "have known of
its practicability for long time. They
have told gthe public tssesE trans
portation order was at hand. But the
public needed concrete demonstra-
ton to have the thing. brought home
10 them. The new air traffic needed,
too, the confidence and support of the
public in order to make it fully living
transportation entity. This flight
gives the demonstration, and, unless
all signs fail, has already laid the
foundation for whole public
support"
In common with all who have fol-
lowed the exploit, professionals and
laymen alike, Major Baldwin gave en-
thusiastic credit to the airmen who are
blazing this new trail. At the same
time, he emphasized, people should not
lose sight of the fact that it is not
merely stunt that is being performed,
dependent upon individual daring and
ability. He stressed the point made
earlier yesterday by Secretary Daniels
that the navy has been planning for
this exhibition for two years. The
scientific conditions, he reiterated. are
ripe.
Watch for British, He Says
Don't be surprised" he added, "if
some time very soon now you hear
that great big British dirigiblc has
set out from Plymouth with mail and
variegated cargo Don't be surprised
if you see it looming over the Atlantic
horizon about two days later and land
ing at Atlantic City And don't be
surprised if you see the air virtually
filled with such craft from then on.
"To the general public" he con-
tinued, "this trip comes as something
sudden, startling, abrupt To those in
touch with the situation it is the fulfil
ment of carefully worked out sched-
ule. The British government some
time ago appropriated $1,25o,0oO,o 900
for development of practical aerial
craft. To-day that appropriation is
ready to bear fruit and the British
government has upward of S30O,0OO,OO0
more to throw into the aerial field in
the way of subsidies to the concerns
which will undertake the aerial mail

In this bulletin, Director Jones
traces briefly the development Of agri-
culture from the founding Of James
town in May, 1907. to the present time.
and points out the various steps from
which the agricultural industry has
progressed from small beginnings to
what it is now. The writer urges
particularly, in this bulletin. that idle
lands in the state he used for farm
ing purposes, that the one crop sys-
tenn be abandoned, and that rotation
or diversification OF crops be followed.

Officers and enlisted men dis.

expedite settlement of their claims for
arrears in pay by placing them in the
hands OF attorneys or claim agents
The claim OF the soldier is all that is
required and such claim should be
submitted to the war department,
director OF finance, who will give them
as prompt and careful considera ton
as possible. Any fee TO an attorney
or claim agent Is needless expense.
"Claims for the $50 additional bonus
