EAGLE BOATS TO STAY.
They viii Become Permanent Units oi
Fighting Fleets.

Washington.-Trials of the Eagle
boats have convinced navy construc.
tors that the little craft turned out by
the Ford plant at Detroit to fight sub
marines are worthy Of taking their
place as permanent units of the fleet.
1t was Learned that official reports to
the navy department giving full details
of the trials show that in speed sea.
worthiness and maneuvering ability
the new boats exceed all contract re
quirements.
An average sustained speed of 1873
knots was made by the boat submitted
by the navy experts to their tests. The
vessel showed no signs of "buckling"
under this gait or when the speed was
forced still higher for short periods.
It already has been announced that
most of the Eagles completed under
the war contract will be utilized as
gunbOats.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Japan and
Germany, as shown by their latest

Mr.. Williams also said that the ma

billion dollars less than the combined
resources of all state and other banks
and trust companies in the country, as
shown by their reports of June, 1917,
and that in the past five years the
growth of resources of the national in

FIRST "PEACE" CHRISTMAS
Since 1913-SoIdiers and Sailors
Take Part.

hington.-America celebrated a
victory Christmas.
With the world at peace for the
first Christmas since 1913, because OF
the victories of the military forces of
the United States and the allies, the
American people appeared determined
to make the celebration memorable
This determination seemed to have
been intensified by President Wilson's
Christmas message to the American
people, saying that Throughout the
great nations with which We have
been associated in this war public
opinion strongly sustains all proposals
for just and lasting peace
A return to the merry Christmas OF
former years was apparent throughout
the nation. Business reviews showed
that, despite the uncertainties OF re-
construction, the old spirit of giving,
accompanied by good will toward men,
had been revived.
In the celebration of the victory
Christmas the soldiers and sailors who
made such a Christmas possible had
large part. Though large part of
the military force of the nation re-
mained overseas, those who have re-
turned were given welcome in every
community and had large part in the
days celebration.
For the first time in the nations
history, Christmas was not observed
at the White House. President Will
son, in France for the peace confer
ence, spent the day with the Ameri-
can troops at the front Members of
the cabinet and of Congress spent the
day with their families.

AMERICAN FLYING BOAT SAID TO
BE THE LARGEST IN
THE WORLD.
WILL RIVAL OCEAN LINERS
The Machine Was Designed for the U,
S. Navy BY Glenn II. Curtis, and
Some of the Dimensions Are
Amazing.

New York-Now that censorship
has been eliminated, it is possible to
reveal details of the American flying
boat, the largest in the world. A few
weeks ago Lieut. Mccullough carried
SO men from the navy station in a
flight along the Atlantic coast and
which is declared to be one of the first
examples of the greate Draft destined
some day to rival tn >seeap liner and
railroad train. :
4 The machine was designed for the
navy by Glenn H. Curtiss, and some Of
ats amazing dimensions are a5 follows:
The span of the upper Eing/from tip
Sto tip is 126 feet; the depth Of the
wings IL feet; the gap between the
upper and lower planes, 12~feet, and
Fthe length from propeller to tail meas
{ures 70 feet.
(, The boat, known as the Curtiss N.
&c. 1, can carry sufficient gasoline and
oil to stay aloft for 13 hours, and can
stravel at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
5Despite it's tremendous size and weigh:
lit can rise to height of 1000 feet in
lI10 minutes. In design the N. G. l is
lssimilar to the America" designed by
sCurtiss for Redman Wanamaker. Ow-
ling to the war the America" did not
iachieve it's mission, that of traversing
sthe Atlantic.
