Out from Rocka,cay

The first attempt to fly around
the world will be made along routes
where protected waters are within
reasonable flying range. Prevailing
winds favor a west to east flight.
For more than sentimental reasons,
it Is likely that the start will be
made from Rockaway and the first
stop will be at the midocean airport,
the Azores. It will be unnecessary
to fly north to st. Johns, because,
within the year, improvements will
make direct flights from Rockaway
to the Azores possible.
From the Azores to Lisbon and
then to Gibraltar will offer no par
ticular difficulties. Nor will there
be lack Of fuel and repair stations
on the flight through the Mediter-
ranean, with the southern ports Of
France, Italy and Greece at the dis
posal Of the aerial Magellans. From
Greece the course will turn south
ward, much as the medinval trade
route, along the coasts of Turkey
and Arabia, over the Red Sea and
the Arabian Sea to India.

What may be the progress during
the next fifty years-that is, by
1869?
AS to transportation on water:
the average fast speed Of the Great
Eastern was 1877 knots per hour
the average per hour for the fastest
days run Of the Mauritania was
27.04 knots, an approximate in
crease of 100 per cent. In 1869
the City of Brussels crossed the
Atlantic in III minutes less than
eight days; In 1909 the Mauritania
crossed in four days, ten hours and
forty-one minutes-only 56 per
cent Of the time it took the City
Of Brussels forty years before.
In air travelling the maximum
% miles an hour speed of LIE Geant
in 1858 is now the maximum 10
miles an hour speed of the R-34.
The record speed Of SIS miles an
hour by heavier than-air- plane in
1909 is now put in the background
by the 200 miles an hour Of excep-
tional combat planes and the aver
age of 1870 miles an hour Of the
Vickers- Vimy in its transatlantic
fight. What will the future bring
in increase of speed? How fast
will airplanes fly in fifty years, in
1863?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-10-19

up the Atlantic coast to the start
ing point.
This first flight will not be more
difficult for flying boats-as they
will be developed in less than two
years--than the New York to Paris
automobile trip across the Amer
lean continent and over Siberia was
for the automobile. It is less a
question Of flying range than of
endurance. There Is little doubt
the craft will be able to withstand
the storms encountered or be able
to cover the long jumps-many over
thousand miles each. Will the
motors and hull withstand the
pound and tear Of the 45,OOO-mile
flight? This is now the question of
Importance.
The first fight will be interesting,
dramatic, phenomenal, but much
progress must be made before such
flights become practical and capa-
BILE of giving efficient service. For
regular trips it is probable the long
distance dirigible will be employed,
but the development Of adequate
airports will postpone establishment
of regular trips by such craft for
some time. The discovery or de-
velopment Of gases Of considerably
more lifting power than hydrogen
will make more rapid flight of diri-
gibles possible at extremely high al
titudes, where winds 200 and 800
miles an hour will assist the air
ship. There will be no oxygen diff
ficulties-the hull in which the crew
operates will be alright with oxy-
gen supplied from tanks-pressure
will be the same as on the ground.
Intentions Needed
On the other hand, serviceable
flying around the world will not
come into it's own until many rad
ical improvements are made. The
most important of these inventions
will be wireless transmission of
power. Instead Of carrying gaso-
lene fuel weighing many tons, an
tennal will gather the energy from
the ether. But, serviceable or not,
the flights across the Atlantic have
not been serviceable from a COM
mercial or purely utilitarian view
point-an aerial trip around the
world will soon be made.
Now let US consider flying around
the world in a week To accomplish
this there must be progress in the
speed of the machines Of to-day.
We can judge somewhat Of the
future by the past. What has been
the progress in speed in the last
fifty years-that Is, since 1867
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-10-19
In Fifty Years?

Moreover, the greatest distance
covered in a nonstop fight by a
heavier-than-air plane in 1902 was
but one-sixth of one mile. Com
pare that with the 1860 miles now
covered in nonstop fight-an
increase Of 100000 per cent in
but sixteen and one-half years.
What distances may not airplanes
cover in nonstop flights within the
next fifty years?
In making the record speed trip,
in flying around the world in a
week, we shall stop for fuel and
change Of machines just as a hun
dred years ago coaches from New
York to Philadelphia stoened for
change of horses, just as our pres
ent five-day railway trains from
New York to San Francisco stop
for change of locomotives, and just
as our present record trip around
the world was made by changing
from steamboat to railway train
and from railway train to steam
boat. In flying around the world
in a week many stops and quick
stops will be made; change of ma
chimes will be made, both tho land
plane and the flying boat will be
used. All these stops and changes
Will be possible for airports with

tic by the NC-4 has brought the fly
ing boat to the fore.
Each transatlantic fight-that Of
the flying boat, that Of the dirigible,
that Of the land 'plane--has de-
monstrated the advantages and the
disadvantages Of each type Of craft.
Which will be chosen for the first
fight around the world? What are
the special advantages Of each?
The transatlantic fight Of the
NC-4 demonstrated the capabilities
of the flying boat. It proved itself
gelf-reliant in the face Of storm and
fog. Fifteen men were carried over
1900 miles into adverse weather.
But the seaworthy qualities Of the
flying boat brought them all to
safety. Improved construction,
larger size and greater efficiency
ell these developments will come
quickly-will make this type Of
craft superior to any means Of
travel man has yet devised for
crossing the Atlantic with utmost
safety with mail, press dispatches,
ct cetera.

The R.34's Record

The two crossings Of the magnifl-
cent British dirigible R-34 proved
the airworthiness and stability of
the giant airship. Although she
encountered adverse weather, which
prolonged her westward flight to
108 hours, the mighty craft, $40
feet long, made her way to the ap-
pointed landing place without diff
Guilty. The return Journey was made
in better tsme-three days three
hours and three minutes.
The great lifting power Of the
dirigible will make 1t the fest
freight and heavy mail carrier Of
the future. 1t is probable she will
never be able to compete with the
ultra-speedy flying boat in the
carrying Of urgent mall and docu-
ments, but her services will be much
more extensive. The volume Of
mall and the number Of passengers
carried by dirigibles will be many
times that Of flying boats. But
great landing places and mammoth
supply stations are necessary. As
these will not ba established over

The Best Craft

For the first around the-world
fight there will be no landing facili-
ties for dirigibles. Land planes will
be eliminated because of the neces-
sity Of suitable landing fields for
them and their helplessness over
the water In case Of forced descent.
The aircraft most fitted to make the
journey is the flying boat. The fact
that the flying boat can be refuelled
at sea from ships, its damaged
motors attended to, propellers re-
placed and other minor repairs
made while on the water will make
it tho first choice Of aviators plan
ming an around-the-world flight.
How soon will the trip be made?
The NC-4 took q 1,300-mile stretch
from st. Johns to the Azores in one
flight This represents approx
mately tho limit Of distance attain

tpye In a nonstop fight. But i'm
provements already being planned by
engineers and ready to be carried

range Of flight for this type Of craft

easy stages will soon be possible.

More Has Been Done

But these European nations have
done more than establish aerial mail
service. England has daily aerial
passenger service between London
and Paris; there is bi-weeAIy
aerial passenger service between
Paris and Brussels. The italians
are daily carrying passengers
fifteen per machine per srip-both
by dirigible and airplane. from
Rome to Milan and from Milan 10
Rome. The aerial passenger service
of Germany connects Berlin with
Leipzig, with Weimar, with Frank
fort, and with the coast resorts.
France is extending her lines into
Morocco and Algeria. Italy is max
ing like preparations to connect It's
homeland with it's colonies. Eng-
land is mapping airways between
the Motherland and her most dis
tant colonies. Already, since the
signing Of the armistice, her air
planes have flown from London 70
India, q distance greater than that
from New York TO Buenos Ayres,
preparing the way for regular trips
in the near future. Along this
route she has established signalling
stations, supply stations and repair
stations. And England's routes are
being laid out and traversed from
London to Africa and northward
from Cape Town. She is also pre-
pairing a route from India to Aus
tralia.
Soon the continents and the
oceans will be covered by air routes
as definite as the steamship routes
to-day, and along each Of these
routes there will be signalling, SUD
ply and repair stations, as well IS
extensive landing and taking off,

BulgarianS Slaughtered
 And Tortured Serb Priests
Father Yonschtch Escaped Burning by Fegning Death After He Had Been Shot With
 Colleagues ,+ j

Pirot, Selbia, Jan. 1G.-(Corres pondence of the Associated Press)- COnfrmatOry evidence of the slaugh- ter of Serbian priests by Bulgarians during the war, was given to a repre- sentative of the Associated Press to- day by the Rev. Miliya Yontschitch, pastor of one of the churches here who personally witnessed the mas sacrc of twenty Of his colleagues and one Serbian officer. All, he says, were shot and many were burned alive.
 Father Yontschitch escaped a sim liar fate only by feigning death after he had been shot He exhibited to the Associated Press correspondent two bullet wounds in his left should CT. Another priest, the Rev. Thomas Popovitch, of Pirot, escaped by flee ing across the mountain road.
 The murder of the priests took place November 9, 1915, in the vil- lage of Kremaencia about thirty-five miles east of Nish, according to the story Of Father Yontschitch, which follows,
 Lived Without Food.
 Father Yontschitch in company with twenty-two other Serbian priests was taken by Blugarians from Pirot to Nish where they were thrown into a cell and forced to live for five days without food or water. After his re- lease he and his companions, who included Lieutenant Tasa Gorgevitch of the Serbian army, were marched by their captors for thirteen hours to Rela Palanka, thirty miles east of Nish, an armed guard walking be- hind each. About two hours walk from Bella Palanka, the priests came to a halt and were ordered to turn off the road into very sfnall valley to the right. It was after midnight and half moon gave the only illumination to the lonely. mountain roads and valleys. The priests had not gone far when the guards shot them in their backs Father Yontschitch dragged him. self in the darkness behind d large rock whence he could see, the whole scene of murder being enacted by the Bulgars. He saw his colleagues dragged some half alive, to pyres which hao ! been prepared for them, and thelr bodies thrown to the flames.
