AERIAL SERVICE
IN GOOD SHAPE
AT WAR'SCL0SE

WASHINGTON, Sept. (by AS
sociated Press although it's or
igin was an almost insignificant
corps, the United States naval
aviation service was expanded so
rapidly during the war that when
the Germans quit it was the second
largest naval flying force in the world.
Development of the service, hitherto
a carefully guarded secret, was dis
closed by the navy department today
in the first of a series of announce
ments dealing with naval aerial &C
tivity since April, 1917.
When the United States entered the
world conflict it maintained a small
naval aerial establishment, with the
principal station at Pensacola, Fla.
The personnel at that station was
SO aviators and 1853 enlisted men, and
the equipment consisted of twenty
two seaplanes, five kite balloons and
two free balloons.
The department of aviation was Or
ganized Immediately and the various
bureaus tok up the work of providing
men and equipment The bureau of
steam engineers took charge of the
development and manufacture of mo-
tors and radio equipment; the bureau
of construction and repair dealt with
the hulls and wings of planes; the
ordnance department provided ma
chine guns and bomb launching de-
vices and thousands of tons of high
explosives, and the bureau of naviga
ton supplied and trained thousands
of officers and enlisted men.
Great Development of Service
The armistice found the navy with
more than 1900 aviators, 300 ground
officers, and $4,000 enlisted men with
1000 flight officers and 10000 enlisted
men in training. There were in COM
mission 1,400 seaplanes and airplanes
and about 800 1ighter-than-air craft of
all types. More than 1900 officers
and 10000 enlisted men, together
with 1888 seaplanes, $40 airplanes and
~ kite ballons were sent to the war
zone.
Meantime the signal station main
tanned in the United States prior to
the war had grown to even training
stations, ten patrol stations, niue rest
and refueling stations, two expert
mental stations and number Of aG
ditiOnal stations for various purposes
were under construction. They formed
girdle that encircIed the entire sea
coast Of the country. In Europe
there were established and in opera
ton tWenty-eight American naval fly
ing stations, two training stations
and twelve bombing stations located
in England, Ireland, France and Italy.
There also was a marine aviation sta
lion in the Azores.

loyal performance of duty at home
and abroad throughout the war. Their
brilliant exploits, their determination
to win, will ever remain one of the
highest tributes to American man
hood. The performance of duty of
these young naval aviators under my

SPORT GOSSIP

Brothers in athletics is no novelty.
In almost every line of sport brothers
are II, be found and in not few
cases there is rivalry between them
for he's dime honors. In baseball there
is Zadh and Mack Wheat. Ty and
Paul Cobb, Lave and Monte Cross and
in the game of yesterday there was
Lee and Jesse Tannehill, George and
Harry Wright and others not readily
recalled.
In track athletics. however, it more
freque3ltly happened that brother was
pitted against brother. Take the
Grant boys for example, Dick and
Alex. Records show that Alex held the
American record for the two-mile run
and history shows that Dick forced his
brother to some of his most sensa-
tional races. In the championships of
1889 the brothers ran a dead heat, and
the occurrence caused no end of COM
ment. because it was itimated that
the contest was made a family af-
fair"
Later events, however, cleared the
sky fol' the Grant pair, for it was soon
conceded that Alex was the classiest
runner Of the two. He won the ma
tional .mile championship in 1899, 1900.
two-mlile in 1899, 1900, 1901 and in
1903.
Martin Sheridan was a wonderful
athlete but he had only a mere shade
on his brother Dick. Dick copied
three national senior championships.
He took the hammer throw in 1900
and the discus in 1901 and 1902. Mar
tin, of course won nearly a dozen such
Plat. Adams is considered a wonder
full Jumper. He has won a string OF
national events. His brother, Ben
Adams'. gave him some of his most
strena Gus struggles. Ben's work at the
Olymp lad in Stockholm in 1912 will
never he forgotten. Lou Sheldon won
the all al round title in 1896. His broth
err, Richard followed him and won the
national championships with the shot
in 1898 and 1899, and with the discus
in 1900. Theer are perhaps dozen
casey wherein brother has competed
agairn:t brother in track athletics and
history shows the competitor was on
the level, too.
