NEW USE FOR

Successfully Lay Land Telegraph
Cables

WASHINGTON, March 1S.--A new job
Tor airplanes--laying of land telc
graph cabloS-has been tried out sue
cessfully in Sweden according to
army air service reports. A six mile
stretch was laid and put into service
in eight minutes by plane that
came from it's station 40 miles away
OF the eight minutes six were sprut
in flight and the other two in MAX
ing connections.
Great possibilities, beth military
and commercial are seen by air SER
vice officers in this new enterprise.
Equipment of planes for cable laying
is said to be simple and inexpensive.
For battle use, ii is declared, the sys-
tenn may we'll prove IAN effective
means in the hands Of army chiefs
for influencing the outcome of the
struggle.
In the course OF operations in the
