UNITED STATES ARMY AIRMEN TO
ATTEMPT FLIGHT AROUND WORLD
fBY a. Z. GELpHoF.)

{M 10Y IA <, GE EOf1OFsJ
Washington.--(N. z. A)-Next--
Hi airplane flight around the world!
With the Atlantic ocean twice
rrossed by airplanes and twice more
BY a dirigible, the air service of the
United States army is now. laying
plans to circumnavigate the globe
With an American army airplane next
hummer.
This is the first public announce
ment. The air service has main
kained absolute secrecy.
Maj. w. H. Frank, of the air serv-
Ice. who conceived and is executing
the plans for the New York-to-San
francisco flight, also fathered the
Idea Of a flight around the world.
Gen. c. T. Menoher, director of the
Dir service. told him to go ahead and
work out the plans.
About Two Weeks Believed Time
Maj. Frank Is positive that a Mar
Tin bombing plane, equipped with
twin Liberty twelve motors OF 400
horsepower each, can fly around the
world in less than thirty days.
Air service officers expect the
voyage will be made in little more
than two weeks, but they prefer to
make conservative estimates.
Even If the flight takes thirty days
1t will break all records. The fast
est time ever made around the world
was IS days Fl hours by ]. III. Mears
q New York newspaperman, in 1913.
Mears travelled, by boa atnd train,
over much the same route to be fol-
lowed by the army aviators.
The army fiers will start from
New York about Aug. /, 1920, as
late summer and early autumn are
considered the best for long distance
flying.
The flight will be made by way of
Greenland and Iceland, thus enabling
the plane to cross the Atlantic in
short jumps. For this reason the
army can make the flight with reg
ular land type of plane instead of a
Tying boat.
Another great point in favor of the
Greenland route is its lack of fogs.
From Iceland the air pioneers cross
the straits to Norway and the next
descent will be made in Sweden.
BoIshevik Russia UnsoIved Problem.
And then comes Russia, and there's
the rub.
How his world navigators are go
ing to jump across the vast expanse
of Russia now controlled by the boil
sheviki, Maj. Frank hasn't yet de-
cided. He's hoping order will be re-
stored in Russia before the fight is
made.
After trailing the Transiberian
railway to Vladivostok the machine
will turn northward and cross Ber-
ing straits or follow the Aleutian
ISLANDS to Alaska, then down the Pa
cifc coast to Seattle and thence
across country back to New York.
The crew will number four-two
pilots and two mechanics. Who they
are the air service has not yet even
considered.
''But they will be youngsters" said
Maj. Frank. 'and we will train them
specially for the round-the- world
hight"
There will be little If any danger
nom engine trouble on the flight.
Il one of the twin Liberty motors
koes on strike, the other will carry
the machine until the next landing
place is reached. Three or four Lib
erty motors will be shipped to va

the division advanced seventeen kilo-
meters, driving the enemy before It..
Heavy Death List.
The casualty list OF the gallant
Fourth showed that 752 men had
been killed, 4.s12 wounded and $50
were missing. No count was kept
of the Germans killed and captured.
The division won praise from the
French for Its gallant conduct. When
sent in as tactical unit II drove the
enemy from Foret de Nesles to the
heights beyond the Vesle. All units
proved their worth.
On September CT. after several days
of training, during which time the dead
and wounded were replaced, the Fifty
ninth infantry relieved the French in
the Toulon sector. southeast OF Verdun.
The Fourth division was on the extreme
left of the salient. The Fifty ninth
was the only regiment of the division
in the line. On September 10 the
Fifty ninth was relieved and the dtvi-
sion moved to the woods near Lemmes.
On September 20 the Fourth division,
as a member of the Third corps, First
American army. attacked north OF Rau
de FORCES. This was the first blow In
the last battle OF the war. the line ex-
tcnulnS from NtlL 10 Tic ANol III
This struggle goes down as one or the
greatest in all history.
A history OF the division states that
the burst of fire was not equaled In
volume or intensity in that sector since
the battles of Verdun. The infantry
went over the top with a great yell.
Everything fell before the advance. On
the second and third days of the attack
the line advanced as far as the northern
edge OF Bots de Brieulles, which was
entirely cleared OF machine gun nests
and held against continued attacks.
On October the division attacked
and took the Bots de Fays. The Ameri-
cans were subjected to most terrific
and narrowing shell fire. They held
stubbornly against repeated counter at
tacks, and the third phase of the opera
tions eliminated in the capture OF the
western part of Bots de Foret. The
Fourth forged ahead and carried the
attack through the northern part or
the Bots de Foret.
Tho division history sets forth that
each unit of the division performed
It's part with unhinching determination
and whole hearted devotion to duty.
The fighting was over a most difficult
terrain and against an enemy whose
determination to resist every advance
was shown by the fact that he en-
ployed all or part of eight different
divisions against the Fourth division in
this time. The Fourth penetrated the
enemy defense to a depth OF thirteen
kilometers, captured 2,731 prisoners, and
took fifty-seven field pieces, four min
nenwerfer, 22S machine guns, two tanks
and vast quantity of ammunition OF
all types The Fourth lost 5000 men
in the twenty four days 1t was kept
constantly in action"
This division was part OF the army
