Army Air Service
Begins Nationwide
Recruiting Driv e
General Staff Authorizes En-
lisiment Up to $4,000;
Special Inducements Are
Offered to Ex-Soldiers

The Air, Service of the army yester-
day began a nationwide recruiting cam
paign. This branch of the army as re-
organized by Major General Charles 7.
Menoher has been given authority by
the general staff to include enlisted men
up to about $4,000 Tn recruiting work
in the Department of the East has been
placed under the direction of Major J..
McClintock, at 104 Broad Street.
The Air Service statement in announc-
ing the campaign says: "Now that a
definite plan has been worked out by
General Menoher, it is possible to state
that aerial navigation in the United
States is assured, and that aeronautics
offers career to the young man which
it is believed is superior tothat offered
by any other branch of the army or
navy"
A special effort is being made to get
those men who enlisted for the duration
of the war to reGnlist for the period of
one. year. AS an inducement to those
men the following special privileges
have been offered:
l. They will be discharged under
the usual routine and receive the $50
discharge allowance.
. hoy will be given one months
furlough on reenlisting for the period
of one year commissioned Of
fcers will, in most cases, be allowed
to retain their grade
They i'll be given mileage to
their homes at the rate of five cents a
mile.
"There is no particular advantage. /"
says the statement, "for enlisted men
who have not had previous experience
to enlist for one year because the Air
Service cannot guarantee teaching them
a trade. However. for men who have
lad service in the army it is believed
that there is decided advantage for
the year enlistment, or until labor con-
dltions have become more stable At the
end of that period they can expect a
more positive market for their service
in civilian life"

Craft De signed by In
venaor of Telephone to
Chase U-Boats Drives
Entirely Out of Water
Has Airplane Propellers
Small Wings Lift 1t Out
of Sea, but Still Hold
1t Down to the Surface

WASHINGTON April 5.-When the
armistice was signed, the United States,
through DR.. Alexander Bell, inventor
Of the telephone, and under the d.
rection of the Navy Department, had
developed boat for submarine chas-
ing scouting that promised to revolu-
tionze that branch of warfare, it was
disclosed to-day by DR.. Bell.
This boat is a mechanical flying fish
1t rides entirely clear of the water
rising above the surface when moder-
ate speed is attained, and is capable
of far greater speed than any other
type of boat designed, according to the
claims of it's inventor.
DR.. Bell has just submitted de-
tailed report of his experiments to the
Bureau Of Steam Engineering of the
Navy Department, which had charge of
all war experiments and inventions.
Not Affected by Weather
In his report DR.. Bell declares that
the boat has proved success in every
way He claims that with proper en-
glne equipment it would be by far the
fastest type of boat in the world, and
that Its performance is not affected bv
adverse weather conditions.
DR.. Bell has begun working on the
development of flying boat" that
would skim the surface of the water
since 1913, at the laboratories on his
estate near Baddeck, Nova Scotia.

tories. to- l,
veloping the boat.
When the United States entered the
war DR.. Bell worked continuously on
his invention, in the expectation of de-
velopng the fastest vessel in the
world for chasing submarines. He was
a member of the Navy Department ad-
visory war board, and the department
gave HIM every assistance. The boat
which he finally turned out and whose
success he has reported to the Navy
Department resembles an enormous
spider moving swiftly.
The principle behind it is that of
the alrplane. 1t has airpane engines
and propellers, but its wings are small
and are submerged instead of being
spread in the air like those of hydro
airplane.
Body Sixty Feet Long
The flying fish" with which the
final experiments were made had a
cigar shaped body sixty feet long and
capable OF seating two or three persons
comfortably. Two airplane engines
were mounted above and one either side
of the skitf body, with small pontoons
below the bow
Underneath the structure are placed
the planes that cause the boat 20 rise
above the surface Of the water when
travelling. They are placed like the

bottom in the number of troops

We built ships; we bought ships;
we begged ships; we Communicated
ships, and on last April the food of
men across seas had definitely begun,
increasing IN volume until we reached
our maximum of 100000 men in one
month.
Now on our second anniversary the
great problem is to get our men back
to their homes from across the seas
| have set as mark to be reached
$4,000 men in one month. Each month
is showing a steady increase over the
month before, and we will do our best
to break the record in transatlantic
shipments.
Dem mobilization has been speeded up

camp record of demobilizing over 1000
men in one day, and we can easily

rather interesting figures about the de-

what has been happening over there.
