OF AMERICAN
u. s. Soldier Tore Flag From
Rear Platform of Train Car
rying Officials and Starts
an Argument

Pelka, April 5.-An American SOL
diers alleged to have torn a Russian
flag from the rear platform of a spe-
ciaI train bearing General Diedrichs.
commander of the Czecho- Slovak
forces in Siberia and Colonel Donna
novsky. an anti Bolsheyiki leader in
the Udfnsk district when 1t was pass
ing throughAhe village OF Pelka. near
Buchadeu, Manchuria. Omcers on the
train expressed indignation over the in
cident when the train reached here to-
day. British, Russian and Japa use
flags We're shown on the rear platform
of the train which had stopped at
Pelka.
When the train was pulling out and
had gained some headway. an Amcri-
can soldier from a west bound train
which had been sidetracked is said to
have swung on the platform and with
some difficulty tore the Russian ilay
from its fastenings. A guard inside the
car saw the occurrence, but rot soon
enough to prevent it.
The officers were especially irritatcd,
since this was the second unpleasant
incident in which American soldiers
have figured recently. Three days be-
fore the alleged tearing down of the
flag, several Americans from a troop
train. waiting on a sidding at Mulin
station, Manchuria, tried to board the
same special train in spite of the
platform guard. The latter pushed
one of the Americans from the car,
whereupon he and his companion Sc
cured arms and returning, demanded
that the guard be turned ovex to them.
<,fl
the cars flied with cadets from the
vladivostok military school were at
tached to the special. and they likewise
armed themselves. What promised to
be serious situation was relieved
when the commander of the cadets or
dered the train to start.
Reports of the incidents have been
sent to Major General William s.
Graves, commander of expeditionary
forces in Siberia, by Col. Romanov-
sky. The latter informed General
Graves that the men We're intoxicat-
ed. and added:
Il regret the lack of discipline in
these troops. which increases the ami
mostly of Russians toward Ameri-
cans"
He said the first incident was at
tributal to American troops whose
train nao passed tne Speclai AT har-
bin, and that the second was due to
the feeling growing out of the trou-
BILE at Mulin, and was carried out
without consideration for the gravity
of the act" He added that the con-
duct of American officers had been
above reproach. but that that the men
seemed to be uncomfortable.
General Graves has telegraphed to
Col. Romanovsky. expressing his re-
gret. He stated that an investigation
had been ordered and that the guilty
persons will be severely punished.

New York Chicago Route by Dirigible Air
Ships is Plan of Boston Engineer

Mr.. McElroy, would be in the in
terror Of the housing structure and
in the center of the ship, connected
to the top of the structure"
From Roekaway to Key West.
The fact that one of the large
airplane and motor manufacturers
has turned its attention to dirigibles
increased interest to the recent sue
eessful flight of the navy dirigible
CT, from Roekaway to Key West,
and to the report of the British air
minister, Lord Weir, and the British
parliamentary committee on civil
aerial transport.
Sixty-five Cents Per Mile.
The cost for the New York-Chi-
cago balloon trip is not excessive
The distance is about 800 miles
"The cost per mile, roughly speak
ing" says Mr.. McElroy, would ap-
proach 6S cents per passenger. There
is no doubt that, after the line is run
for some time, it would be possible
to cut down the rate considerably"
At 65 cents mile, the one-way fare
to Chicago would be $50. This is
about the ratio arrived at by the
English engineers in computing the
cost per mile of dirigible flight,
whether over land or sea.
Seventy Miles Per Hour.
The accompanying sketch, drawn
by Mr., McElroy, gives a clear idea
of the proposed airship. 1t would
be approximately AIS feet long and
As feet in diameter. Its engines
would total 1900 horse power. The
bag would have $4,000 cubic feet
of capacity, providing a gross lift of
20 tons at sea level, which would
mean approximately 10 tons useful
lift. THE ship" says Mr.. McElroy,
would be capable of flying 20 miles
per hour and a trip to Chicago could
be made comfortably in less than
II hours.
The power plant would consist OF
twin engines, side by side, driving
through gears a central stub shaft
mounting a variable pitch air screw.
This arrangement would centralize
the powers and allow operation of
one or both motors in the car to
meet conditions of adverse or favor
able winds or fast or slow speeds.
The engines would be heavier con-
structed than the typical airplane
motor, with the reliability and en-

Special TO The Bee.

New York, Jan. 3O.-(By Mail.) =
An airship line from New York to
Chicago in the near future is pro-
posed by one of Americas promi-
nent aeronautical engineers and the
corporation with which this man is
associated has made public for the
first time complete plans for the con-
struction and operation OF dirigibles
carrying a passenger list of at
least Is, with a crew of 10.
Announcement of the line is made
through the Manufacturers Aircraft
association which is to hold its an
nual aeronautical exposition at Mad
ison Square Garden and the Sixty
ninth Regiment Arrnory, March
to is, in cooperation with the War
and Navy departments,
Engineers who have given much
study to aerial problems believe that
the next few years will witness re-
markable development of both the
balloon and the airplane.
To Use Four Airships.
J. M. McElroy, chief engineer Of
the Sturtevant Aeroplane company,
Boston, collaborating with Noble
Foss, one of the officials of that corr
poration and son of former Cover
nor Foss, Massachusetts,, has work.
ed out a plan for the operation of
the New York Chicago line on an
original Investment of $5,000000.
This amount would be necessary to
organize a company with four air.
ships and two main terminals, one at
New York and the other at Chicago.
The ships would be the Zeppelin
type, rigid housing, and multiple
compartment structure. Helium gas
would be used, thus removing the
danger of infamability that now ex-
lists with the use of hydrogen, says
Mr.. McElroy. Recent figures give
a cost of 10 cents per cubic foot,
which would amount to $4,000 for
the initial imitation of 100000 cubic
foot capacity ship.

durance Of the automobile type.
Gasoline and oil tanks would be
located along the keel and fuel fed
to the engines through an auto
matte pressure system that would
insure even loss in tanks, so as not
to affect the balance Of the ship.
Mr.. McElroy has worked out
some new details, such as the fol-
lowing: Balance and altitude could
be adjusted by expansion or conf
preston of the gas. A self-contained
electrically operated pump in con-
nection with storage tubes would
exhaust the gas from the bags,
compress and pass same over to the
storage tubes. When increased
height is desired the gas would be
allowed to expand back into the
bags. In the same way, by regu-
lating the amount of gas in the diff
ferent compartments, the ship
could be easily trimmed.
"Of course, it would be necessary
to carry water ballast, but in much
smaller quantity than is now car
ried on the present wartime Yep
pelin, and it would be used al
most entirely for obtaining altitude.
THE crew would consist of cap
tain, navigator, chief and two as
sistant engineers, wireless operator,
steward, cook, waiter (who also
would be a porter and a maid, who
also would be waitress"
Mr.. McElroy's plan calls for a
magnificent observatory on the top
of the great gas bag, as the illus
tration shows.
1000 Miles Without a Stop.
"a striking example OF the per-
Torrance Of the lighter-than-air-
machine" says the engineer, is
provided by the Germans, who sent
out one of their dirigibles to East
Africa with a complete crew, and
returned safely. This ship covered
1000 miles without stopping to re-
provision.
Figures on the English Air Serve
ice, recently published, showed that
the airship few one hour for each
man employed, while the. airplane
few "a minutes per man and that
the average length of fight was six
and one-half hours for the airship
against two hours for the plane"
Mr.. McElroy faces squarely the
problem of safe landing and he pre-
