Inventor Solves Birds Secrets:
Achieves Flight i'm Helicopter
New Rotary Wing Propeller Causes AirpIanes tc
Rise Straight Up and Is Said To Be 20
Per Cent More Efficient

of these hitherto unknown principles of
flight to the machinery he had built.
After many experiments Oehmichen
succeeded in isolating the secret prin-
ciples underlying the recuperation Of
energy in the case of insects and birds,
which enable them TO fly fast and far
with minimum of motive power His
new propeller is described as a rotary
wing. There are two of them on the
helicopter, one at either end Of the
machine, which in itself looks some
thing like the skeleton of bplane.
The propellers turn in the same drec-
tion. Their axes are inclined outward
at an angle of nine degrees, in order to
produce stability by gyroscopic action.
Oehmichen's machine has made sew
enty captive ascents since December.
AT his official trial before French avia-
tion experts, even with only the poorest
of motor power, Oehmichen's machine
lifted itself and its pilot off of the
ground for forty-five seconds, main
tanning an altitude of from two to five
feet
France now claims two pioneers in
aviation: Clement Adler, the first man
to take the air in flying machine, and
Etienne Oehmichen, the first person to
leave the ground in helicopter.

that fifty-one persons are now i'll of

ALI s. Ties to
Peace Treaty
Cut by Wilson
Denial Is Made That Taking
of Boyden From Repara-
tions Body Was Protest
ON German Indemnities
Clear Slate for Harding
White House Since Election
Has Been Severing ALI
Connections With League
BY Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The last bit
of wreckage remaining of the once i'm
posing structure of President Wilson'S
international dream has been swept
away. Participation in the Reparations
Commission was the sole remaining
thread connecting the United States
government formally with the League
of Nations or with any remnant Of the
Paris Peace Conference. The slate is
now entirely clear for the Harding Ad-
ministration, and it was made plain at
the State Department to-day that the
Wilson Administration intended for it
to be so.
America still participates in the
Rhineland commission and still has her
army of occupation. Both of these,
however, grew out of the armistice
terms and had no origin in the peace
conference. The United States is still
at war with Germany technically, and
therefore is still operating under the
armistice terms. Therefore the con-
tinuance in these two connections sig
nifies nothing except the failure of this
country to conclude peace with Ger
many.
Positive denial that the withdrawal
of R. w. Boyden from the reparations
commission at President Wilson's di-
rection had any significance SO far as
rejecting the attitude of the Wilson
Administration on the indemnities just
imposed on Germany was made at the
State Department to-day.
All League Ties Cut
1t is known to be the opinion of high
officials in the Administration hele
that the utmost which can be ex-
tracted from Germany is in the neigh
borhood of about 100000, ,000, ,000-
scarcely more than half the amount
demanded, even without the IL per
cent export tax.
But while this is understood to be
the view of the Administration, it is
declared that this had nothing to do
with the action of withdrawing from
the reparations commission.
On the contrary, the whole idea, it
was stated by officials, was to Withdraw

" 'o"' L 'te fF7oHhe,S washington bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--Rear Ad.
miral William F. FulIam, formerly
superintendent of the Naval Academy
to-day warned the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs that "one-plane
navy" would not do. He advocated q
"three-plane navy" consisting of sub
marines and aircraft as we'll as an
adequate surface feet
Admiral Fullam declared the Ameri-
can fleet was "unorganized and unpre-
pared for war, even as one-plane
deet." He said it was reprehensible
to divide a strong force, but to divide
a weak force was worse. He urged
that the feet be united and drilled
and organized for instant war.
Suspension Of part of the build
ing program for six months, until
there could be inquiry and better
understanding of the requirements of
a modern navy, was urged by Admiral
Fullam.
Throughout his appearance before
the committee Admiral Fullam emnha-
sized the idea that he wanted navy
that could fight, and fight effectively;
that he was not in favor of "scrap-
ping" the capital ship; that he believed
1T absolutely essential the country
should have an air feet and a subma
rine fleet as we'll AS q surface fleet,
and that the lessons of the war showed
the great battleship feet alone could
no longer be depen1ed on to insure
control of the sea.
Wants Fleet Ready
81 want the feet made ready for, war
quick" said Admiral Fullam, in the
course of his remarks.
He told the committee that if there
was to be war in the Pacific in five
years, the time to prepare for it was
now. He urged that the feet be
united in the Pacific and kept there.
He wanted to know how the ficet could
be sustained in the Pacific in slime of
war if it could not be sustained there
N time of peace. He urged not only
that the feet be put into the Pacific
and kept there without waiting for
further developments of naval bases
in the Pacific, but that it be drilled
and prepared for war on immediate
notice, condition in which at this
time it was not.
Admiral Fullam was asked numerous
