third lap is from that city to Sitka,
Alaska, $50 miles.
Then comes the first long lap
across the open Pacific, from Sitka
to Unalaska on the Aleutian Isl
ands, distance of 1900 miles, en-
tirely out Of sight of land.
Following this is the longest lap
of the flight, from Unalaska to
Petro Pavlovsk, 1900 miles. AL
though this is the longest leg Of
the fight, the aviators will be in
sight Of land for the geater portion
Of it, as they will run practically
parallel to the Aleutian group of
Islands.
Should the moaoplane successfully
fly as far as the small town of Petro
Pavlovsk, on the end of the Kam-
chatka peninsula that juts out Of
Siberia, the transpacitic fight will
have been accomplished. The CON-
pany, however, plans to continue on
to Shanghai, China, by way Of Yoko-
hama, Japan.
The leg from Petro Pavlovsk to
Yokohama will involve another non
stop flight of 1,400 miles. The
flight will be completed to Shanghai
by comparatively short leg Of $50
miles.
The White monoplane is one Of the
most remarkable airplanes ever de-
signed, and is built into complete
rigid unit. 1t is a seaplanc, fitted
with two pontoons rigidly attached
to the body and wings of the ma
chine.

so per cent used up by parasitic re-
sistance, only 500 pounds of thrust
IS actually being used for flying
Our resistance of 33 per cent is
only 800 pounds resistance out of
1900 pounds thrust, thus giving US
either double the performance with
the same power, or the same per-
formance with half the power used
by biplane.'
There is a possibility that the
rules of the Ince prize may bar the
White monoplane, because of its
projected route across the Pacific
According 70 Mr.. White, the Mono
plane viii be able to make the fight
in about three days as against three
weeks by the fastest boat. Because
of this fact the flight Will be made
for the purpose of developing the
possibilities Of transpacific mail
flying, irrespective of che prize.
"The first plane will cost US near
ly $5o,O0O,' said Mr.. White, "and
we do not intend to jeopardize our
chances for the sole purpose of
making a spectacular fight which
will have no ultimate value

Prize Conditions

According to the terms of the
Thomas H. Ince prize, as at present
regulated, the fight must be made
from the hydro-aeroplane station
at Venice, Cal. The finish must
be made on rhe mainland of Austria
liza, or on the mainland of the
japanese group Of islands or on
the Philippine group or on the con-
tinent of Asia if westward
If eastward the flight can be
started from any of the points men,
toned, but the finish must be on the
mainland of the United States of
America. The northern and south
ern limits Of the fight are SCI down
as follows: Northern route, between
ATTITUDES 40 degrees north and 32.33
north. Souther route, between
latitudes 41.35 degrees north and
3845 degrees south.
The contest is confined between
the months of September, 1919, and
February. 1920, inclusive, and the
contestants must complete the
transpacific flight within 288 hours
from the time Of starting.
The contestants may use land or
water type of flying craft. but in
any case must pass over the main
land Of both continents after start
ing and before landing.

The Route

The route will extend from
Alaska to the kamchatka penin-
sula in Asia, just below where the
Aleutian Islands mark the bound
airy between the Behring Sea and
the Pacific Ocean. Although this
is fairly northern route, Governor
Riggs estimates that the average
temperature will be at least 53-le
grees, which is not expected to
offer any great hardships to the
pilots or navigators.
The machine will have two pilots,
who viii sit side by side in the for
ward cockpit. Another cockpit
just behind the wings will be occu-
pied by the navigator of the flight.
The first lap will be from Los
Angeles to San Francisco, a dis
tance Of 45O miles. From. there
the machine will fly to Victoria, B.
G., distance Of 450 miles. The

~ flight across the Pacific
4 Ocean for the $4,000 prize
offered by Thomas H. Ince
Will be undertaken by the largest
monoplane in the world during the
next month, if the machine can be
completed in time. The flight will
be split up into legs in the same
manner as that of the United States
navy's NC seaplanes across the At
lantic Ocean.
The route has already been
mapped out and preliminary ar
rangements made. The assistance
Of the Pacific Aero Club. the
Aerial League of Canada and the
Hon. Thomas Riggs, jr., Governor
of Alaska, has been obtained. The
latter is at Sitka now preparing
arrangements for the stop there.
The monoplane is now being COM
pleted at the factory of the George
D. White Company, at Los Angeles,
Cal, according to "The Aircraft
Journal" 1t will be equipped with
two floats and will be driven for
ward at an estimated cruising
speed of 110 miles an hour by it's

necessary, the machine could re-

the careful design.
In addition to this the watertight
material used in the construction Of
the fuselage is also sufficient to
keep the monoplane afioat, even
should the pontoons be broken off
in landing upon the water. With
the flight over the steamship lanes
for the greater portion of the way
there is practically no chance Of
the crew being lost in case Of
accident.

to win the $4,000 prize offered by
Thomas II. Ince, the moving pict-

George D. White, president Of
the concern, who was formerly with
yhe Glen L. Martin Company, de-
clares that if the monoplane can
make the 7,OOO-mile fight over
strange waters with safety and sue
cess it will be capable Of all ordi-
nary flying in the development of
commercial aviation.
1--WE have chosen a monoplane,"
he says, because we know, and all
aeronautical engineers admit, that
the monopiane is far more efficient
than the biplanc. 1t is the parasitic
resistance that is the bugaboo Of
aeronautics.
1T has been stated by Grover c.
Looming, one of America S foremost
aeronautical engineers, that for
every pound OF parasitic resistance
eliminated ten pound: of useful
load can be added. The average
bipiane uses up fully so per cent of
It's power to overcome this resist
ance, which is caused by struts and
hundreds of feet of vibrating cable.
''In brief, since this is not in
tended as a technical discussion,
although | am willing to go into
detail further should any one desire,
we have but 33 per cent Of the re-
sistance of the average biplane
Look at the view of the NC-4 OF
other large biplanes, and then at
the White monoplane, with its alb
sence of struts and wires, and this

Saved the Day With
"Stolen" Ambulances

There was a long series Of heroic
incidents culmirating in the award
of the Croix de Guerre to Capt. Ste
phen n. Bobo, commander of the Red
Cross unit attached to the Twenty
seventh Division, but none more strik
ing than the episode of the ''stolen
ambulance" related by Frank Ward
O'Malley in the July number of the
New Red Cross Magazine. Here is
the story as it was told Mr.. O'Mal-
ley by an officer of the division:
''Col. Montgomery, weeping for
ambulances, thought of Capt. Bobo.
He gave the Red Cross man the high
sign and Capt. Bobo just brushed
aside lot of flying metal and stepp-
ed close enough to Col. Montgomery
to ask the colonel what was on his
system. 'Ambulances,' shouted the
colonel, but I don't know where to
get 'em.' I do answered Capt. Bo-
bo. IF you'll give me fast car I'll
flush a whole covey of ambulances,
sir
"Col. Montgomery Communicated
Gen. Organs racing car and Capt.
Bobo climed in. The captain stepped
on the accelerator and exploded to-
ward Paris, a trip of 15S miles. And
toward the middle Of the next after
noon back came Bobo hellbent with
ten ambulances in his wake. We
were too busy then to ask him where
he had got them, but when things
had quieted down for a NOM ent some
days later we made inquiries. And
we got this Bobo persons number.
Let me tell you in confidence-don't
repeat this to a soul, remember
this Bobo is an ambulance stealer.
He and his gang were out and out
Red Cross crooks. He had crashed
into Paris, grabbed up every ambu-
lance along a curb, bamboozled the
drivers into believing they We're to
take his orders, and had crashed out
of Paris again at the head of his
string of sputtering booty and made
straight for the front again at a time
when I don't know what We would
have done if it hadn't been for Capt.
Bobo and his anbulances.

MILTON RICHARDSON, R.
Young Man Dies From Injuries Sus-
tanned in Diving at Oakley Beach
A Week Ago.

One of the saddest deaths tina. las
occurred in this vicinity recently was
that of Milton C. Richardson, Jr..
son of Milton C. Richardson, who re-
sides near Cambridge, who died last
night at the Cambridge MARYLAND
Hospital, about ten o'clock, after
having been critically ill for the past
week, as the result of injuries sus-
tanned in diving one week ago yes
terday, at Oakley Beach.
The young man was twenty-one
years of age. having been born in
February, 1899. He was bright
young man, and very popular with
his associates, having been elected
president of the Junior Glass of the
Cambridge High School during the
past year, the mantle of last years
graduating class having been presen-
ted to him at the Glass Night exer-
cises this year.
The accident. which resulted in
his death, occurred Sunday after
noon, July 9Th, when he, with a
number of friends, went in bathing
at Oakley Beach. In some manner
he miscalculated the depth of the
water at the point where he dived,
and struck the bottom with such
force that his spine was affected, pa
ralysis developing from Lis waist
down. Everything that could be
done for him was done, without
avail.
He was the son of Milton c. and
the late Mrs. Carrie Richardson, and
besides his father, is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Guy Stewart. of
near Cambridge, and Mrs. Fred Wag-
ner, of this city.
The funeral services will be held
from his late home tomorrow (Tues-
day. afternoon, at two O'Clock. In
terment will be in the Cambridge
cemetery.
