and marvelling at the strides which
have been taken in aerial travel in
Europe high overhead in most
States Of the Union. unhera1ded, al
most unnoticed, is proceeding a work
unequalled in importance by any other
aviation development.
Briefly, It is the discovery of Amer
lea from the air. The United States
\ year ago was unknown territory to
the aviator. The most skilled pilot
took his life in his hands whenever he
left the earth TO fly to another locality.
Tor he was utterly ignorant OF the
WINDS he would probably encounter,
the ground over which he was pass
ing, where the possible landing places
were, and innumeI able other details
II he had to come down BECAUSE of
engine trouble, for instance, he picked

future may follow in safety, as the
Leviathans of to-day follow the course
Of the Half Moons Of the past.
Originally 1t was intended that the
first official announcement Of this I'M
known programme of aerial discovery
and the many dangers faced by the
pilots should be made at the Aero
Show. which will be held during the
first two weeks Of March at Madison
Square Garden and the seth Regiment
Armory, but THE SUN Is now in a
position to reveal in detail the enor-
nous amount of work which has al
ready been done on the Sky map Of the
United States. Charts. photographs and
reports made IN the air will be shown
at the army exhibit in the Garden.
AS new Government map shows,
much of the country has been fairly
cobwebbed with routes marked out by
the military fliers. Along these lines
on the map between the principal
cities II is proposed soon to run the
mail planes, which will exceed in speed
the mail trains of to-day as tho trains
exceed the mail coaches OF the
eighteenth century.
No Realization of Risks.
The closcness TO the accomplish
ment, together with the usual mill
tary encouragement of publicity. has
prevented realization of the risks
which are being run and the size OF
the task of plotting the wind courses
and listing the landing places OF the
whole country. Flights over deserts
In northern Africa invariably arouse
comment abroad, yet American fiiers
are almost daily passing over the
great American desert all unheard OF.
Perhaps the future will honor these
men for the work they are doing as
to-day we honor the bygone pioneers.

The very subdued official report
temporarily observed:
at is desired to emphasize the fact
that the accident which occurred at
Texarkana could have been avoided II
the spectators had remained at the
edge o. the field instead of wandering
thoughtIessly over it. This fact was
called to the attention of the press at
Texarkana and Arkadelphia after the
accident"
In most towns near which the avia-
tors landed they were received with
great cordially by the inhabitants
and by he chambers of commerce,
and every possible assistance was
given them. The apex of hospitality
was reached in Baton Rouge, La,
where the City Engineer, extremely
| anxious to entertain his aerial friends,
took them around on the usual sight
seeing tour for visitors from out or
| town. The climax. of the tour was
visit to the highest building in the
city, which lowered 800 feet above the
| pavement, so that they might see
what the city looked like from above.
The polite aviators expressed as much
wonder and Amusement as they could
muster while inwardly they chuckled,
for they had just finished soaring over
the city at a height OF more than a
mile.
In the cities and towns where they
are best received the aviators recon-
