New York, Sept. 7.--CP)-A wire.

Glory. sent out during the early
morning hours Of darkness. when sac
apparently was some 800 miles east
northeast Of the tip Of Newfoundland
on her trip from Old Orchard. Maine,
to Rome, sent liners and warships
racing to her assistance.
Old Glory's cry for help. as picked
up by several transatlantic ships and
relayed to the Radio Corporation Of
America. was sent out at $3.50 today,
Greenwich mean time. Beyond the
fact that her crew Of three adven-
turous Lloyd Bertaud,
James D. Hill and Phillip Payne
were in the grip Of some tragedy over
the tracklcss wastes Of water, no de-
tails were given.
Ships Take Up Search
Within "A few minutes Of receipt
of the S q S, several ships were rush
ing under full steam towards the
estimated position cf the transat-
lantic airplane. The liner Transyl-
vania. westward bound. appeared to
be nearer Old Glory than any other
ship. The steamer reported that she
was S3 miles away.
'The Pennsylvania is now IS miles
from the plane and. owing to the
pitch darkness, it will b. difficult
to see the plane" read a message
from the captain Of the steamer.
At the same time the steamships

all westward bound to the states, re-
ported picking up the o s. At
least the Carmania and the Lapland
were believed to be in the general
Of Old Glory. although fur
ther away than the Pennsylvania.
Warships to Join Hunt
Not only were great liners doing
their utmost to bear aid to Old Glory.
but the navy department broadcast
the news Of the airplane's plight to
all naval vessels OF the Atlantic fleet.
1t was assumed that within u short
time wnrships would he ploughing to-
wards the monOplane.
Foremost in the minds of all dur
ing the hours Of anxiety was th..
que Of whether Old Glory had
suffered the same fate as her ILL
starred sister ship, the st. Raphael,
lost recently in an effort to fly the
westward course of the Atlantic with
the aged Princess Lowenstein- Werth-
elm and two pilots aboard. Fresh in
memory. too, was the fate of the
Dallas Spirit. which never was heard
from after sending out an o S on
her flight over the Pacific from San
Francisco to Honolulu.
Carries Rubber Boat
There was hope, however, for Old
Glory in the fact that she carried y
collapsible rubber boat, which could
be inflated were conditions favorable.
But what had happened to the erea.
silver and gold plane. which started
out so proudly on the first air voy-
age to the Ital an capital, was prob
|ematical.
Whether she had been forced down
to the waters or whether she was
still flying, though crippled, could
only be conjectured.

BIRDS AND MEN
By Garrett P. Serviss

VNHERE is, perhaps, no occu-
L patton In which nervous re-
action plays q more important
part than the art OF aviation. II
it be true. as asserted by Major
Poole Of the School Of Aviation
Medicine. that ninety per cent Of
all the accidents are due to the
pilots ana not to the construction
OF the planes, the need of psyche
logical tests" to determine the fit
ness of a pilot for his work be.
comes startlingly evident.
In support of his advocacy OF q
searching personality study in
addition to the mechanical and
medical tests of would-be filters,
Major Poole makes a rather
astonishing comparison OF facts
about the accidents to aeroplanes
in this country and in England
during the year 1925.
Only a dozen lives were lost in
the United States in the course of
that year. while in England. dur.
ing eleven months of the same
year. there were eighty-one deaths
in fiftN-one accidents. Also, there
were $3.50 crashes in the British
service where the machines were
wrecked beyond repair"
Major Poole ascribes the sur.
prising difference in favor of the
United States in this record to
the rapid advance here of the
psychological investigation referred
to. The machines made now,
he aveFs. are almost "fool-proof."
But Il is easier to get good
mechanics than to get experts
capable of picking out the men
who will not kill themselves"
Acuteness Of perception, stead.
ness of nerve, rapidity of decision
and promptness of action are
essential psychological qualities
for an aviator, and they cannot
be thoroughly determined and
measured without a great deal of
careful and expert study. A
good "bird-man" must have a kind
of bird psychology, and some.
