~ vERYBODY knows that the
H glider, or "sailplane." as the
Germans say. is the latest rage
in aeronautics, but just what
keeps these motoriess aeroplanes aloft
for long periods is the subject Of much
popular conjecture. Now the recent
worlds record for gliders. made By the
German. Henzen. in his Vampire, a
flight of three hours and ten minutes.
brings the subject up with sharper in
terest than ever.
Vincent ]. Buranelli, designer and
constructor Of aeroplanes, who. himself.
has taken part in many gliding expert
ments, makes the following explanation
for Sunday Star readers:
1.-THE most general fact" Mr.. Bura-
nelli says. lis the character Of the wind
currents In the valley where the Ger
man flights are made. The winds sweep
up the hfllsides. They are level with the
hillside, but they blow upward with ref
erence to horizontal ground. Thus. the
glider goes of the hillside in an up
blowing wind. Now, in a perfect calm,
if the hill were steep enough, the glider
might glide for a long distance and re-
main OFF ground for some time. This
upward hillside wind gives a large added
element of sustension. Then, when the
upsweeping wind comes to the hilltop
1t tends. by reason of contrary currents,
to eddy upward and over. A glider
moving into this eddy will naturally
soar aloft, and by skillful maneuvering
may keep in the eddy almost indefinitely
But, even on a level, q glider might
sail In a horizontal wind. I have seen
an aeroplane. heavily loaded. lifted OF
the ground BY horizontal strong wind
and carried up vertically many yards !;
it might have lowered In the air a while
had a pilot been IN the cockpit and
in control The action Of wind on plane
In this circumstance is, however. very
complex. and the theory has not been
satisfactorily worked out. II you will
take a pair Of mounted dried wings of a
soaring bird, buzsard or albatross,
say, and place them fat on a table and
then direct the current Of an electric

ALL AGENCIES NOW
AID PORT AUTHORITY
Action Of 1. G. G. Expected to
Force Trunk Line Rail-
roads Into Line.

The object OF the proceedings started
sion calling on the trunk line railroad
managers to show cause why they
should not cooperate with the Port Au-
thority Is to bring about greater use
of existing railroad facilities FOR term
inal operations.
4. II. Outerbridge. chairman OF the
Port Authority. and the other members
Of that body expressed qualification yes
terday with the order of the Interstate
Commission issued Saturday directing
the officials of the railroads TO explain
why they DO not cooperate with the
agencies now at work on the PROPOSE
ton in carrying out the port develop
ment plans. Mr. Outerbridge said:
In view OF the urgency for beginning
the effectuation OF the comprehensive
plan It is gratifying that the Inter
state Commerce Commission was able
promptly to respond to the suggestion
for cooperation between the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Port
Authority. This follows the other ave-
nues OF cooperation with Federal au-
thority already established, namely. the
War Department and the United States
Shipping Board. The cooperation Of
these Federal agencies. witt, the pow
ers they possess. suppienlenting the CO.
operation OF the municipalities In the
port district completes the chain of au-
thor.ty through which results Will be
brought about.
''As the laws OF the two States and
Of Congress require as the first prin-
ciple that terminal operations within
the port district. so far as economically
practicable, should be unified. the hear
ings now ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission are to give the rail-
roads respondents legal opportunity
to show cause why appropriate orders
for the immediate use Of existing facil!-
ties IN the unification OF terminal opera
tions within the port district should not
be made"

AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
IN PEACE IS URGED
Chaplain X. C.. Knox Makes
Plea at Columbia.

a plea for America to be guided by
the true spirit OF Christmas and TO lead
the world into the ways OF permanent
peace was made by Chaplain Raymond
G. Knox at the Christmas service yes
serday afternoon In st. Paurs Chapel.
Columbia University. The text OF the
sermon was st. Luke 1879, g. to
guide our feet into the way Of peace"
"lIow ardently do we desire that ibis
shall be the message OF Christmas 10 oil
the world to-day" Chaplain Knox said.
For the cry which We hear from every
land IS for peace that strife and blood
shed be no more: that men and women
be protected and free; that children be
fed and given their rightful chance 10
be happy and to grow.
THE road to peace Is also the Highway
OF good will. To walk on that road We
need TO be charitable. With charity and
good Will we can advance to the higher
level OF active cooperation among all
nations OF the earth. 1t Is at this place
on the road that America Is called upon
TO make decision. We stand at the
crossroads and for the future peace
OF the world much depends upon the
one we take.
We know the need for new spirit
OF nlagnanimity IN the world. But who
will take the lead In showing II? II, for
instance, In the vexed questions OF repa-
rations we would see other nations show
a more generous spirit toward their enc
niles. should not we take the lead In
showing at least some measure OF gem
crosity IN collecting the debts owed US
by our friends"

nisned by twenty-five men selected from
