Next-an airplane flight around the
world!
With the Atlantic ocean twice
crossed by airplanes and twice more
by a dirigible, the air service of the
United States army is now laying
plans to circumnavigate the globe
with an American army airplane next
summer.
This is the first public announce
ment. The air service has maintain

the plans for the New York-to-San

and work out the plans.

AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM
And hen ome Russia-and
there's the rub!
How his world navigators are go
ing to jump across the vast expanse
of Russia now controlled by the boil
sheviki, Major Frank hasn't yet de-
cided. He's hoping order will be re-
stored In Russia before the flight is
made.
After trailing the Tra~ns-Siberian
! railway to Valdivostok the machine
will turn northward n cross the
Boring straits or follow the Aleutian
islands to Alaska; then down the
Pacific coast to Seattle and thence
across country. back to New York.
The crew will number four-two
pilots and w mechanics. Who they
are in the air service has not yet even
considered.
But they will be youngsters" said
Major Frank. land we will train them
specially for the round-the-World
flight"
There will be little If n danger
from engine trouble on the flight. If
one of the twin Liberty motors goes
on strike. the other will carry the
machine until the mex landing place.
Three or four Liberty motors will be
shipped to various places on the
route, to replace the original ones If
necessary. All other spare parts will
be in the cargo.
Arrangements will be made through
our consuls along the route for sup
plies, landing places and other facili-
ties.
Besides being the first airplane to
fly around the world, the U. S. army
machine which will circumnavigate
the globe next summer probably will
hang up q new record for a Hight
across the Atlantic.
Instead of taking the Azores-Portu-
gal route, as did the NC flying boa
of the navy, or the Newfoundland

plane, the army flyers will blaze a
new trail over Labrador. Greenland
and Iceland. landing in Norway.

sey. The financial report of the state
paymaster general showed a balance
of $1,6O0.7S.
The following resolution was adopt.

Whereas with a spirit of self abne-
cation and with fearless disregard fol
selfthey offered themselves as a sac
rifice upon the altar of democracy
that the whole world might enjoy til,
light and sunshine of an enlightened
free, and responsible form of govern
ment, and
Whereas we deem it fitting ant
proper that the federal government
recognize this service by paying to al
those who served in the World Wal

Therefore be it resolved that the
Army and Navy Union of u. S. A., De-
partment of New Jersey do hereby de-
clare themselves in favor of legisla-

new YORK OFFICIAL ON TRIP
Location of Magazines and
Construction assures Safety
---Well Within Law

Following an inspection of all of the
ammunition magazines at the Raritan
Arsenal, Deputy Fire Chief William p.
Begin, of Richmond borough, and
Supervising Electrician J. b. FRANKIE.
of this city, reported tIlat tue,4 were
unable to find any TINT at the -.sAaal.
They also reported that the ammuni-
ton stored in the magazines was not
of such nature as would endanger
lives or property In surrounding terri
tory.
Chief Begin was ordered to mako
the inspection by Mayor Hylan, OF
New York city. following the receipt
of information by the mayor that
there were three million pounds Ut
TINT at the arsenal.
The findings of the inspectors is of
particular importance at this time,
only a few days before the hearing to
be held at the arsenal Wednesday by
Senator Frelinghuysen and the
Board of Freeholders. Despite the de-
malls by army authorities that there is
any INT at the plant, rumors continue
to circulate. Several times the EVEN
ING NEWS was questioned last week
by persons who said they had reports
that there had been or would be ex-
plosions at the arsenal last week. No
foundation for the rumors could be
found.
The fire inspectors investigated not
only the kind and amount of ammuni-
tion stored at the arsenal, but also
the manner in which it is housed.
They report that while there may be
explosions such as occurred two weeks
ago, in which ten men were killed and
several injured, it would be impossible
for the explosions or fire to spread to
the whole arsenal. 1t is said that the
arrangement of the magazines and
store houses within the reserve is such
that nine times the required safe
guards are used. Each magazine is
said to contain only one-third of the
quantity permitted by law and each
magazine is said to be separated from
the next by three times the required
distance. I.
The storage of black powder and
similar low grade explosives is per-
mitted under the state laws, If proper
safeguards are imposed. and it is this
safety factor provided by the state
which the government is reported to
have multiplied by nine. In addition,
all of the magazines are fireproof as
required by law.
In a recent telegram to President
Madsen of the Board of Trade, Sec
retary of War Baker declared that
the recent explosion clearly proved
that the danger would not spread be-
yond the magazine Immediately af-
fected.

who advised the executive that the
crime was most cold-blooded ana
brutal and that the ends of justice
should be served. Upon this advice
the governor denied the application.
The three men with two others
came to the farm of Roman Smith,
seventy years old, in Milltown, Mid
