FLYERS CREDITED
WITH SAVING CITY
Planes Probably Averted A.
CHAN War. Former British
Minister Says.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHREWSBURY, England, August TO-
How fghting-p planes fought as angels
of peace in a recent Far Eastern crisis
was described in an address here by
Sir Francis Humphreys, former British
Minister at Kabul.
Prompt arrival OF planes from Bag
lad and Egyptian outposts of the British
Empire during the siege Of Kabul by
Afghan insurrectionistS probably
saved England from another war;" Sir
Francis said.
when all means of communication
by land were hopelessly cut off," he
explained, "airplanes flew to our rescue
from Bagdad and even from Egypt,
covering as much as 100 miles in a
single day.
FLY Over Snowbound Mountains.
These machines had operated be-
fore only in hot climates at a maxi
mum OF 1000 feet, and they were sud-
denly called upon to fly over snow
bound and inhospitable mountains at
heights far greater than the Alps, in
a temperature 80 degrees below zero,
and to land on strange airdrome in

raging in the neighborhood. But never
once did they refuse my call.
More than 80 Journeys were made
and $4,000 miles flown, with loss OF
two machines and 600 British sub
jectS and foreigners were conveyed to
safety without a single casualty.
There was one exciting incident.
King Amanullah, besieged with a gar
rison of 5000, was given 24-hour
ultimatum to surrender to an attack
ing force OF $4,000:
THE alternative was murderouS as
sault with scaling ladders, no quarter,
and general loot and massacre. The
King replied that nothing would induce
him to come out unless the safety q
himself and his ladies was taken In
hand by Englishmen.
No Way TO Enforce Authority.
I'VE had no soldiers and no means
OF enforcing authority, except with our
tongues. The airdrome was situated
between the two armies. only 400 yards
from each other, and was rsked with
a devastating cross-flre. We had to
take the risk, and telegraphed for air
planes. When the machines arrived in
sight we gave the signal to both armies
to cease fire.
Fortunately for us they obeyed the
signal. The airplanes landed in silence,
and the King and his ladies, escorted
by unarmed Englishmen from the le-
cation, went to the waiting machines
and were flown safely to India.
There is no doubt whatever that the
royal air force on this occasion not
only saved the city and foreign lega-
lions from a terrible fate, but prob
ably saved England from another war"

AVIATION
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

The Annapolis squadron has for
service IL planes, half of them be-
longing to the fleet and loaned
for duty from the Naval Air Sta
ton at Hampton Roads. There
are eight TAM bombing and tor
pedo planes, one new-type PN-12
patrol boats and two old-type
war time flying boats attached TO
the squadron.
1t is expected that two twin
motored Sikorsky amphibians will
be assigned to the squadron be-
fore the end of the Summer
These ships probably will be used
as flying claSSroomS for students
in aerial navigation. 1t will be
possible for one instructor to
handle six or eight midshipmell
on a single instruction flight in
one of the new amphibians.
Transport Plane Used.
The Army Air Corps is using a
trimotored Fokker transport
plane for this purpose at Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio. The plane is
equipped with all types of naviga-
ton apparatus, and students are
taken on extended cross-country
flights relying upon their own
ability with the instruments to
take the ship to its destination.
The necessity for better under
standing of use of aviation in con-
nection with Army operation
stands out as one of the great
lessons of the Army maneuvers III
Ohio last May. These maneuvers
were the first large-Scale opera
tions in which the Army Air Corps
has worked with ground units in
the actual solution Of military
problems in the field.
Regular Army. Reserve and Ma
tional Guard officers and troops
participated in the maneuvers,
which revealed that there is a
general lack of understanding on
the part of many staff officers of
the proper use of aeronauticS in
connection with military opera
ton.
Officers in charge Of the ma
neuvers recommended to the War
Department that similar opera
tions be held every year in the
various corps areas, so that off,
GERS of the Regular Army and Re-
serve units may have an actual
opportunity to work with the air
SquadronS.
The War Department recently
issued an order permitting the as
signment of ground officers to the
aviation squadron as observers
whenever possible. Plans also are
being considered for special lee
lures on aviation for the benefit
of officers of the Regular Army
and the National Guard units.

problem of welding avia-

~HE problem of welding avia-
ton into the present Army
and Navy structures so as
n to permit the most intelll-
gent and efacient use Of the latest
element of military powers IN con-
nection with general military
operation is engaging the closest
attention of leaders in both serv-
ices.
Aviation, in the viewpoint of
the old military man, is a new
and as vet almost untried military
arm, as compared with the time
honored Infantry, Cavalry. and
Artillery.
Military commanders of all
ranks are thoroughly acquainted
with the use of the older units,
but it is felt that training along
aviation lines would benefit both
ground and air UNITS.
one of the greatest military
problems of today, in the opinion
of close observers, is the training
of the rank and file of the mill
tary services to think in terms Of
aviation as one of the regular
arms of the military forces.
Elements of aeronautical train
ing have been introduced here at
the United States Naval Academy,
and the work of acquainting the
Nations future naval comman-
derS with aviation IS becoming
one of the important phases of
their training.
This year for the first time sec
ond classmen at the academy are
given primary aviation inStruc-
ton as part of their regular
course.
Navy Squadron Assigned.
For the purpose of training
midshipmen the Navy Depart
ment has assigned a Navy squad
ron to duty at the academy.
There are about so Navy enlisted
men on duty with the squadron,
and sufficient pilots are kept on
hand to put the 480 second class
men through at least five hours OF
aviation training. The squadron.
is commanded by Lieut., Comdc.
D. c. Ramsey, with Lieut.. c. F.
Sprague as executive officer.
Each student at the Naval
Academy will receive five hours
actual training in the air. He
also will be put through a course
of aerial navigation and gunnery.
Lecture courses covering the gen.
eral purpose of aviation an6
methods of employing it in gen.
eral naval operations are also
given.
It is the belief of the Navy Blu
reau of Aeronautics that this
work will be of the greatest i'm
portance even though few of the
midshipmen elect to follow avia-
ton after leaving the academy.

The country is largely level and the

These conditions, prevailing in a coun-

Refinements in Streamlining and
More Efficient Wings Among
Needed Utility Equipments.

RefinementS in streamlining. more
efficient wings and smaller engines OF
great horsepower are needed before
greater speed may be gained by racing

Aeronautic experts agree the surface
barely has been scratched in what is
known as streamlining and aerodynamic
efficiency. Much is TO be learned in
this regard to accelerate the speed of
planes.
Suggestions that speed planes in the
future may require jockey-like pilots
because Of their small size are givrn
little credence by flyers. They point
out that the ideal posture for fiyine
racing plane is a reclining one. and even
II fuselsges could be greatly reduced
there still would be SUFFICIENT pilot spscr
