DAVIS ATLANTIC
PLANE ARRIVES
Goes to Hampton Roads To-
morrow for Final Test
Before Prize Flight.

The new three-engined Pathfinder
monoplane in which Lieut.. Comdr. Noe
Davis of the Naval Reserves hopes to
span the Atlantic some time in June
for the $25 900 Ortig prize, arrived at
the Naval Air Station, Anaostia, yes
terday on it's first extended flight since
it was rolled out of the factory at
Bristol, Pa, few days ago.
The plane was flown to Washington
from Bristol by Davis, who tomorrow
will take it to Hampton Roads, where
a series of tests on it's performance
and fuel consumption will be held.
Final Test Awaited.
The plane probably will be taken
aloft with three-fourths full load of
fuel and the gasoline consumption
checked for a number of hours. after
which it is planned to take the air
with the maximum load which will
be used on the flight project. On
these tests will depend final plans for
the departure which now are only
tentative.
Davis will take off from the air
station tomorrow morning at
O'Clock, accompanied by Lieut.. Stan
ton Wooster of the propeller section
Bureau Of Aeronautics, Navy Depart
ment. who probably will be a member
of the transatlantic expedition. Fol
lowing the test at Hampton Roads
the plane will return to the keystone
Aircraft factory at Bristol for a final
checking and then will fly to New
York, the hopping off point.
Davis plane has a wing spread OF
81 feet, is powered with three Wright
"whirlwind" engines, was designed
for a radius of $500 miles, or nearly
1000 more than will be necessary for
the transatlantic trip under favor.
able circumstances.
900 Gallons of Fuel.
An unusual feature of the plane is
the large gasoline tank built to hold
600 gallons and which is located in
the fuselage. In other planes the fuel
tanks have been divided into two or
more sections and placed in the wings
and other parts of the plane. Davis
object in having the single tank in
the fuselage was to get the bulk of
weight as near to the center of grav-
ity as possible.
One of the engines is located in the
nose of the plane and directly in front
of the pilot and the other two are on
the wing on either side of the fuselage.
In addition to the crew, the plane
will carry a radio set, newly developed
compasses and other aids to naviga-
ton.

trial organization would have won the
country its present position in interna-
tional finance even if there had been
no World War Thomas w. Lamont of
J. p. Morgan & CO., asserted last night.
Speaking at the dinner of the Acad-
emy Of Political Science, he said that
Americas pre-eminence in mass pro-
duction had become one of the seven
wonders Of the world.
Points to War Days.
International finance, in the modern
sense, he said, has existed for America
only since the early days of the World
War. Before that time the United
States looked to foreign nations for
capital with which to advance its in
dustrial and agricultural progress.
The enormous excess of merchan.
disc exports over imports during the
war and the early years following it
was an even greater factor in bringing
about the change than the heavy pur-
chases by American investors of Amer
ican securities held abroad, he said. In
recent years Americans have been
lending abroad on such a scale that
the total investment of American cap
ital abroad was estimated at from $12,-
100000, 900 to $13 900, 100000. exclusive
of war debts.
Calls Theory Untrue.
People sometimes say that inter
national finance can make or unmake
states, can bring on or prevent war"
Mr.. Lamont said. Fortunately, or
unfortunately, there r no truth in
that dictum. Looking back TO July,
1914, / know of no group of bankers
in any one of the countries soon to
be involved that was not earnestly op-
posing the very thought OF war. But
their efforts were poWerless against
the tides of misunderstanding and pas
sion that finally swept the world al
most TO destruction"
Walter Layton, editor Of the Lon
don Economist, said although Amer
lean commerce had increased normally
in both directions with other CONT
