PUSHING PLANS FOR

navy department an advantage in time
as a British or any other European

So far as has been made known,

have time to rest. Some officers De-

While the machine that is to make

passengers for a comparatively short
distance so much gasoline will be re-
duired to run the ship that extra
weight becomes one Of the problems
with which the department experts now
are engaged. Other plans must include
that of the best route, possible weather
conditions and the matter Of station

The route most favored now, it is
understood, is one which will a the

navy seaplane across the Atlantic ocean
this spring are going steadily ahead
