believed in the Liberty Motor, and the
more abuse and criticism the engine re-
ceived in its early days the stronger
was his advocacy of it. He has always
contended that the decision arrived at
on May 20, 1917, by Colonel E. A. Deeds.
that the first great step in preparation
for actual aerial combat was the de-
signing of an engine of great power
capable of manufacture by American
quantltatlve production methods, was
one of the boldest and widest decisions
of the war.
It's the greatest aerial engine in
the world" continued Lieutenant EN-
mons This has long been understood
by the French and English. Now our
people will understand it. The motors
that drove the seaplanes to the Azores
were just regular rum -of-producton
machlne-tool made engines Of the low
compression variety made by us for the
navy
Early Criticisms Recalled
When we started making Liberty
motors the whole world. including
most of our domestic critics, said that
a machine-made engine of such refine
ment was an impossibility. We were
abused, like condemned pirates, for
taking up some European model, and
we were scolded right and left because
we intrusted the making of the motors
to the manufacturers Of automobiles,
although neither then nor since has
any one ever told US who should make
internal combustion engines in this
country unless it was the concerns
that had had the most experience in
making them.
"The shining triumph of the Liberty
engine is a great honor for the com
panies that carried through the heavy
task and reflects we'll deserved credit
on all the engineers who contributed
to the design and on all the makers of
parts and suppliers of material.
American engineering genius and
manufacturing skill gave their best to
the Liberty engine and the product
was worthy of their reputation for
great things"

WASHINGTON, May 17-With the
arrival of the NC-4 at Horta, after a
continuous flight of about 1900 miles,
the Liberty Motor achieves the dis
tinction of having furnished the power
for one of the longest continuous
flights of any form of airplane The
Aircraft Production Bureau, in Wash

demonstration of the durability and
reliability of the great American en-
gine.
1T is simply another, though most
agreeably sensational demonstration
that the Liberty engine is consistent

tenant Harold Emmons, u. S. n R. F.,
o. Detroit, who has been attached to
the Aircraft Production Bureau since
the beginning Of the war as the chief
of engine production.
Lieutenant Emmons superintended
engine construction under contracts
for 100000 of all kinds at stipulated
cost Of about s4500O0,0 900. Before pro-
duction was stopped, about 10000 en-

than 10000 we're Liberties, from the

The start Friday night was made
while Captain Frederick P. Raynham
British pilot of the Martinsyde plane,
and Harry G. Hawker, Australian fiier
OF the Sopwith biplane, were still wait
ing for favorable weather conditions
to commence their attempt for the
London Daily Mail" prize of $4,000,
a prize which the American naval avi-
stors cannot compete for.
The two British aviators have been
waiting in Newfoundland since the
middle OF March. On one occasion,
after they had announced their inten-
ton OF starting, the entire government
of Newfoundland went to their field
to witness the start, and public holi-
day was proclaimed throughout the
island. The start was postponed at
the last minute owing to adverse
weather conditions

has demonstrated the wisdom of the
experiment.
They point out that the flight gives
opportunity for utilization of destroy
ers and capital ships that otherwise
would be used in feet moneuvres
which, they say, is much more costly
operation than assisting the air feet

practically stationary, are burning less

The use Of the battleships gives the
captains excellent opportunity to en-
gage their crews in drills and ship
schooling, which will increase their ef-
ticlency for future service.
1T is no more costly to send sea-
planes on transatlantic flight than
test flights offshore. The long dis
tance cruise already has demonstrated
that these planes can be converted
into bombing planes for cooperation

operations the United States govern

gates attending the second Pan Ameri-
can aeronautical convention.
Representatives of seven countries
were seated with American authorities
from every state in the union at a
luncheon in honor of General Amelio
gliemotti, Italian military attache,
at the Traymore Hotel, when President
Alan R. Hawley, of the Aero Club of
America, read the message. The crowd
arose as unit in tribute to the daring
crew which accomplished the task, and
broke into enthusiastic cheers for the
commander and his associates Colonel
William A. Bishop, youthful Canadian
ace, who is officially credited with
bringing down seventytwo German
planes, was another honor guest at
the luncheon.
Commenting later on the record trip
Of the NC-4 Mr.. Hawley said:
"The successful fight Of the NC-4
to Horta is indeed a marvellous achieve
ment and reflects the greatest possible
credit upon the United States Navy
and the intrepid navigators of the
winged ship. 1t presages success in
the achievement of the dream Of man
to bridge the Atlantic. Doubtless the
NC-4 at least will finish the journey
in one more leap to Lisbon. As Presi-
dent of the Aero Club l extend my
heartiest gratulations to the United
States Navy and to the American peo-
pie. 1t is an event which will live as
long as history. 1t has demonstrated
the value of the Navy liberty motor
and has vindicated that highly valuable
piece of mechanism despite the early
criticisms which were directed against
it."

.ShiDpers Cautious
In Air Predictions
Flight Hailed as An,azing
Feat. but Commercial
Utility Is Questioned

The fight OF the navy seaplanes to
-he Azores aroused unusual interest
yesterday among shipping men, but
lew would venture an opinion on heav
ier than air machines as commercial
carriers of freight or passengers.
Carl Jungen, marine superintendent
Of the Southern Pacific Steamship
Company, who is graduate of Anna
polls and was at one time a commander
in the United States Navy, said the
flight TO the Azores was the most won
de.ful sTnplishment of the century.
The ~ undertook the big job" :"
he said. and the Navy made good l
nave watched carefully the prepara-
mons of those young officers and had
not the least doubt Of their success. I
am mighty proud of the boys in those
seaplsnes They displayed great nerve.
The big thing just now is that they
have beaten everybody else to it. The
hardest part OF the task is finished. 1t
was splendid OF the Navy TO lay off
a feet OF war vessels along the route,
but it would have made no difference
with the flight. Those boys would hr,'e
gone on to the Azores if there had not
been ship on the Atlantic.
The commercial possibilities Of
transatlantic air service is something
too big for discussion just now
David Lindsay, of the international
Mercantile Marine Company, said:
The flight is an achievement that
every American Will be proud of.
America turned the tide in the war;
she led the way to the North Pole. and
now she has been virtually the pioneer
In transatlantic air service.
Passenger service to Europe may
soon be popular in dirigibles, but hard
y so in seaplanes. Passengers want
luxury and deck space One can hard
" expect these IN seapiane.
ut will be many years before air
service supplants steamship service.
Freight moves slowly. Security is
more 20 be desired than speed, SO l
guess the steamship will hold its own
Tor few generations at least"
A. c. q. Nyland, Of the Holland
American Line, said:
Development of air navigation has
been marvelously rapid. Il is interest
ing to follow but prediction is useless.
~ one can ioreteli when we will have
regular air service across the seas.

greater achievements than this wonder

SUGGESTS REMEDY
OTTO H. KAHN TELLS HOW HIGH
COST OF LIVING MAY BE
REDUCED IN AMERICA

NEW YORK. Creation by the
United States government of bur-
eau of salvage similar to that in
England which in three years saved
to the nation $500,000,000 worth of
materials usually consigned to the
scrap heap is recommended by Otto
| H. Kahn, financier, in memorandum
as to possible measures for alleviat-
ing the high cost of living made pub
lie here today
Other suggestions include appoint
ment by the government of a nom
political body of experts "to study
the effects of the various kinds of
taxation which have been in force
during and since the termination of
the war and to make recommends
tions to congress based upon such
study
Mr.. Kahn, analyzing the effect of
the excess profits tax abroad, said a
British Investigator found that labor
received 81 per cent more before the
war, the state throught taxation forty
per cent more and capital per cent
more. He said the enhanced cost of
living and the diminished purchasing
power of the dollar affected the owner
of industrially invested capital no less
than they do other callings.
Declaring zone of the most valu-
able by-products of wise taxation is
the promotion Of thrift" Mr.. Kahn
charged that the income tax "by
reason of the kind and manner Of it's
graduation, instead of promoting
more frugal living is breeder of ex-
travagance and thus higher prices"
The investor, to recoup portion of
his income tax, he said, demands
higher rates of interest, thus enhanc-
ing the cost of capital, which again
makes for higher prices, for he buys
the tax-exempt municipal, state or
government bonds, thus diminishing
the quantity of funds available for
private enterprise.
The house famine and high rentals
Mr.. Kahn attributed to the fact that
the private investor, generally speak
ing, has withdrawn from the field of
real estate mortgages because they
do not yield him sufficiently at
tractive return after taking into ac-
count the income tax"
Inconclusion Mr.. Kahn says the ap-
pointment of one or more non-polltlcal
consisting of business
men, working men, farmers and econ
omists, for the purpose Of making
studies and recommendations on a
non-partizan' basis would be of great
advantage by the country at a. time
when grave economic, social and fl
nancial problems are pressing for
solution"

WASHINGTON Ronald Lindsay
charge d. affairs of the British En-
bassy, today made public a letter tc
Grover C. Hall, associate editor Of
the Montgomery Advertiser, Mont
gomery, Ala, in reply to an inquiry
/ by Mr. Hall as to show many Egyp-
tian soldiers fought under the British
flag during the war and what was
the number of casualties suffered by
them,"
The inquiry, it is said, was prompt
ed by the breif recently presented by
Joseph w. Folk, former governor of
Missouri to the foreign relations COM
mittee of the United States Senate,
in which Mr.. Folk called attention
''to the fact that 100000 Egyptian
troops fought on the side of the
Allies"
"The British Government" wrote
Mr.. Lindsay, who was in Egypt all
through the war, "has carefully
avoided destroying Egyptian sover-
eighty. Egyptian soldiers always
serve under the Egyptian and not the
British flag. The Union Jack does
not fly in Egypt except over the
British military establishments in the
country. Elsewhere the distinctive
Egyptian flag is displayed. To an
swer your question literally, no
no Egyptian soldier joined the British
colors.
"Of course this is only a partial

forces were ever under fire.
In addition to this, large numbers
