GEN. FECHET PLEASED.
Assistant Air Chief Enthusiastic Over
JohnsOn's Exploit.

Brig Gen. James f. Fechet, assist
ant chief of the Army Air Corps, last
night was overjoyed on being in
formed that Lieut.. II. A. Johnson had
flown at an average speed of 17O.l56
miles per hour in winning the Liberty
engine builders trophy race at Spo-
kane. He characterized the fight as
certainly great speed" and declared
it was the fastest any military OBJ
servation plane had ever flown in this
country. if not in the world.
Gen. Fechet said the plane was an
Army Curtiss Oh, known as the Fat
con. and was fitted with a Curtlss
V-1550 water-cooled engine of II cylin-
ders and about $50 horsepower. Two
of these Falcons were ordered pre-
pared by him for the race. one with
wing radiators and one without.
The V-1550 engine was developed ii
little more than a year ago by the
Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co. of Gar
den City, Long Island, and was first
used in one American Navy Schneider
Cup challenger at Norfolk last No
vember. 1t is an advancement over
the Dig and V-1400 engines now used
by the Army Air Corps in observation
and pursuit planes.
The speed of Lieut.. Johnson was
greater than that of the Army's single
scatter standard pursuit planes which
flew in race for this type Friday.
The winning plane in that event made
only 1854 miles per hour. A similar
plane, flown by Lieut. Lawson II.
Sanderson of the Marine Corps, oh
duty at Quantico, made 100 miles per
hour in another race.
The successful performance of Lieut..
Johnson's plane, brought about by
the high-compression engine and the
wing radiators, was regarded here last
night as being a forceful argument
for the contention held by some aerial
strategists that this combination
should be encouraged and developed.
1t matters not whether the high-com-
preston engine can Withstand as
much hard work as the normal power
plants or that the wing radiators are
more vulnerable to enemy fire, as

RACE IS SET TODAY
/. FOR SCHNEIDER CUP
Weather Alone Remains Du-
bious-Crowd Near 100000
Fills Venice for Event.

By the Associated Press.
VENICE, Italy. September Eli
With a crowd of aeronautical enthusi-
asts variously estimated at from 100.-
900 to 200 filling to the door every
hotel. from the luxurious hostelries
of Lido to the tiny pensions in the al
ley-like side canals of Venice. and
with the men and machines in the
pink OF condition, everything is ready
for tomorrow's Anglo-Italian speed
duel for the famous Schneider Cup.
Only one element remained dubious
this evening-the weather. Recent
storms have made the air menacingly
thick. If. as is hoped, the aky is clear
and the water smooth, six machines
will begin taking off at 2:30 pm. to-
morrow. Postponement is possible un-
til o'clock. but not later, in order to
avoid the necessity of landing in the
falling light of the evening.
Orders of Take-OG.
At intervals of five minutes the rae
ing planes will plunge off. either cross
ing the line on the water or in the air,
in the following order: Lieut.. S. N.
Kinkead (British), Maj. Mario de Ber'
nardi Utalian). Lieut.. Webster brit
ish) Lieut.. Guazzetti Utalianl, Flight
Lieut.. Worsley British, and Capt.
Ferrarrin, Utalian).
All the planes weathered the pre-.
liminary tests in excellent form, and
both teams are expressing utmost
but neither uuderestimates
the hazardous nature of the contest,
in which a new world speed record
is expected.
Along Lido Beach.
The distance Of the race is $50
kilometers (about 220 miles), and will
comprise seven circuits of a course
along the front of the Lido bathing
beach. The water over which the
planes will fly will be absolutely
cleared of all craft. but further out,
on the Adriatic, Italy's war fleet lies,
while in the lagoon back of Lido a
huge fiotilla of gondolas and launches
has been provided for.
In order to keep the crowd in touch
with the scoring at all stages of the
race the authorities have erected a
huge bulletin board with loud
speaker for announcements Crown
Prince Humbert and many members
of the Italian and English aristocracy,
as well as thousands of Americans,
are here to witness the race.
