NAVY Filler SPEEDS
244 MILES AN HOUR
Lieut.. Brow, in Smallest Curtiss
Craft, Skaters Mark of 238;
Flew a Straight Course.

New York.-Piloting a Navy-Curtiss
racing plane over a measured one kilo-
meter course at Mitchell Field, near
Mineola, L. l., Lieut.. H. J. Brow OF the
naval air service shattered interna-
tional records by attaining an officially
recorded speed of 244.15 miles an hour.
On one of the round trips over the
course, when he was flying with the
wind, it was said that Lieutenant Brow
winged his way at the rate. OF 255
miles an hour-faster than any human
being or bird has ever Travelled.
AS an aid in conceiving the speed
accomplished by the tiny plane, fliers
pointed out that the distance flown in
one minute at the rate of 244 miles an
hour was as far as the Battery to
Times Square Reduced to feet per
second, each time the secondhand
licked the plane had travelled S52
feet.
Lieutenant Brow broke the world s
sped mark made by Lieut.. l.. H, San
derson of the United States Marine
Corps, who piloted Navy Wright
plane over the same course at the rate
of 238 miles an hour. Previous to that
the record was held by Lieut.. R. l..
Vaughan, who established speed OF
236.5S miles an hour at Dayton, Ohio,
last spring, in a Curtiss-Army plane.
Whether Lieutenant Brow had hung
up record which would stand very
long was the subject of discussion
among air fans. The Verville-Sperry
monoplane, which with two Navy
Wrights and the avy-Curtiss will rep
resent Uncle Sam in the International
air races at st. Louis next month, also
underwent speed test at the Mineola
flying field The test was held secretly
and Charles Verville, the designer,
joined with Lieut. Alexander Pearson,
the pilot, in refusing to give out fig
ures. When told of the speed the
Navy-Curtiss had made, Lieutenant
Pearson smiled and said:
1.-THE navy figures are very interest
ing, but we are not the least alarmed
by them. l think then we will have
surprise in store for the other en-
trants"

Madrid. Spain is in the travail of

rapidly through various districts and
provinces Of the country and has
aroused the deepest concern of the
Government.
At the head of the movement is the
Captain General of Barcelona, Primo
Rivera, man Of strong influence and
powerful associations. Behind him are
the officers of the army, who have
been chafng for many months under
the ignominy of the Moroccan cam
paign, and with the officers are the
rank and file, who seem ready to fol-
low their leaders to the end.
King Alfonso is believed to be at
San Sebastian. There are various re-
ports as. to his probable action in the
crisis, and he may even now be on his
way to Madrid to take up considera-
Premier Alhucemas.
After protracted meetings of the
Cabinet message was sent to General
Primo Rivera requesting him to aban-
don the movement for patriotic rea-
sons, but he absolutely refused to do
so.

They may argue that by reducing the
number of possible national antag-
onists they gain in prospect Of set
tlement.
The matter. however, does not end
with the release Of the prisoners,
although if their lives are saved the
acuteness of the case passes and
remedial measures can be deliberately
applied. This outbreak Of banditry
is a menace to all foreigners. 1t de-
mands a correction unless China is
to be shut off from the rest of the
world for purposes Of business and
visitation. What has just happened
may happen again in the same con-
ditions. and the present conditions in
China will not be cured by the mere
rescue or release Of the captives taken
by the bandits.
The suggestion is advanced now in
China that the outrage was not the
work Of band Of criminals bent upon
loot and ransom. but was designed to
bring about a change in the political
situation. A demand has been made
strongly that the provincial armies be
disbanded and responsibility concen-
trated. That is more easily said than
done. These provincial armies, under
several individual leaders. are, in ef-
feet, the government of China today,
a China split into several parts. with
out cohesion. with much overlapping
Of territory and claimed Jurisdiction
and with resulting chaos of admins
tration.
If the captives are released. with
or without ransom. the episode will
not have been without value, even
though some lives were lost and much
suffering endured. For 1t brings to
the point of acute need of action the
intolerable conditions that are menac.

persistence OF exploitation headed for

The Captives Reported Released.

Reports from the far east regarding
the situation Of the kidnapped foreign
ers are conflicting and confusing, but
II the later dispatches are to be ac-
cepted the danger of their death at
the hands of their bandit captors has
been passed. According to Shanghai
report, all of them, save the Italian
Chevalier Musso have been released.
This does not square with a Peking
dispatch, which denies earlier reports
that the two American Army officers
and their sons had been set free. 1t
also fails to agree with a reported
message from the American news
paper man, John Powell, who was
captured, that dire consequences"
would surely follow if the force Of
troops were not withdrawn.
< all Of the prisoners save the
Italian have been released it is likely
rnat he, too will be set free, although
sne reports suggest that the bandits
regard him as their most valuable
hostage" and are holding him for the
full amount Of $1.O00.000, first stated
as the price for the release Of all.
1t is impossible to follow the reason
ing of the Chinese mind. Possibly
these men figure that by concen-
trating upon one captive they in.
