Giant Seaplane Will Be Sent
Across Pacific Within
Year From Now
TIME OF. FLIGHT WILL s
DEPEND ON COMPLETION
Giant Boat Will Have Wing
p Spread of 1877 Feet and
Three Propellers 4.
BY Harold Jacobs.


copyrighted, 1921, by the United
Press.) -. Ta2E
New York, April 1.-THE United
States navy, after trying to make a
transatlantic flight, will send giant
seaplane winging across the Pacific
late this summer or early next spring.
The new triplane, which is known as
the giant boat, has been under design
and construction for more than a
year. The wings and hull are being
made at the naval aircraft factory
in Philadelphia. The motors and
nacelles, or bodies, are being turned
out at the Gallaudet Aircraft corpor-
alton at East Greenwich, Conn. The
propellers are being built at Balti-
more by the American Propeller COM
pany.
The time Of the flight will depend
on when the aircraft is completed and
upon the result of exhaustive testing
to which the giant boat will be SUBJ
jected. 1t is planned to begin assem-
bling the plane in June or July.
The tentative route is San Diego,
Calf, to Honolulu, Hawaiian Is
lands, 2, 100 miles; Honolulu to Wake
island, 1900 miles; Wake island to
Guam, r,1OO miles; Guam to Manila,
1900 miles. This is total Of 5000
miles. Whether the plane will con-
tinue to the Asian mainland has not
yet been determined. The longest
single hop Of the historic NC-4F in
1919 was from Nova Scotia to the
Azores, distance Of LOO miles.
The general public had its first op-
portunity to marvel at the size of the
great seaplane today when one Of it's
huge 18-foot. three-bladed propellers
arrived in New York. The propeller
was brought here from Baltimore en-
route to East Greenwich to receive
it's test at the Gallaudet works. Ar
irving at the naval pier, the propel-
lers were to be transferred by motor
trucks to New England coastal
steamship to be taken to East Green
witch.
The giant boat will have wing
spread of 1877 feet and will have three
propellers, each driven by three 400
horsepower motors, developing a total
of 5000 horsepower, or / 200 horse
power each. The propeller is the most
radical departure from previous sea-
plane construction, which will be an
arrangement of motor and propel-
Ter. Each of the nacelles will contain
the Gallaudet gear drive, making
possible the connection Of the three
motors with each propeller.

ur11rzE WHAT WE HAVE.

While the proposition of developing the St. Lawrence river by dredging op- erations and canal construction so as to make it possible for ocean steam ships to reach lake ports has gotten no farther than the endorsement stage, there seems to be reason for feeling that even it's advocacy has accomplish ed some good and this cannot fail to be appreciated even by the opponents of the project
 Those opposing the idea are doing so on the ground that it would take much business away from the transpor- tation lines and ports in the eastern part of this country. but the advocacy has served to call attention more acute ly to the fact that there are means of water transportation between the lake ports and New York city of which full advantage is not being taken.
 Governor Miller of New York recent ly addressed the Buffalo chamber of commerce in opposition to the St. Law renee canalization scheme and termed the proposition impracticable. At that time he made the statement that in his Lu6 IuOuey lHGI WOulu DS uSSu in connection with such an undertak- ing ought to be devoted to the better ment of our waterways and terminals. and while he didn't ask special favors for the harbor of New York or seek business for the barge canal that can be handled otherwise he made the most of the opportunity to call attention to the existence of that aid to transporta- tion, and 1t Is interesting to note that line of five large steel barges cost ing quarter of a million apiece and capable of carrying about 1900 tons of grain are operating between lake ports and New York faster than the fast est freight train schedules between such points.
 The middle west is favoring the St Lawrence project because of the i'm proved facilities that are offered but as a matter of fact 1t doesn't appear that it is az yet making full use of the facilities that exist since there is no in- i tination that the barge canal Is offered more business than 1t can handle. The idea of making the most of what ex- ists and devoting our funds to the bet terment of prevailing conditions is bound to make strong appeal.

 Once at the White House the presi- dent found 1t in the possession of a disorderly mob, which swept across the grounds and into the rooms where all semblanee of order was abandoned.

 | The shameful scramble for cakes and punch at the Whte House was bue the forerunner of yet more indeeent scramble for office at Gadsby's where the president continued to reside for some days. The people considered that the election of Jackson was a triumph for the people. and that all officials of ], former occupants of the office must go.
 Expectation was not disappointed and in a few days after the inaugura- ton the chief clerks of the department, itwenty-two collectors of customs, four teen surveyors of the customs, seven registers of the land office. three re- ceiyers of the public money, as well as a great. many in other departments were turned out of office.
 The result was that all clerks and petty officers became panic stricken and the office seekers more noisy and l impudent than ever. A rumor spread fthat the president was preparing a cir.

 diligent, able and faithful, and this done
