the maximum goal soaring flight pio-
neers set out to attain.
Glider pilots have been carried by the
clouds upwash as high as 1000 feet
and travelled 40 miles on such cloud-to-

These are all feats for the advanced
soaring pilot, Dr. Klemperer points out
The beginner must be content with
flights Of seconds or minutes duration
until he masters the art Of controlling
his frail craft in the air without motor
"a more ticklish feat, according to
some pilots, than flying an airplane.

CAMERA CONTRACTS
AWARDED BY ARMY
Fairchild Corporation Will Furnish
Fighting Planes With Gunlike
Equipment.

Contracts for a number of machine
gun cameras" for use on Army Air
Corps fighting planes as a means Of
training pilots and gunners in the use
of their guns against enemy planes have
been awarded by the War Department
to the Fairchild Aerial Camera Corpo-
ration.
In outward appearance. shape and
weight, the cameras will be duplicates
of the guns with which the Army planes
are equipped. They will be mounted on
the machine-gun mounting rings so
that the cameras may be aimed and
operated in the same manner as the
guns they replace.
Instead of firing bullets when the
trigger is pressed, however the camera
takes small picture showing where the
bullet would have struck. On each
picture the exact time of exposure is
recorded automatically, enabling cam
era-gun combatants 10 settle disputes
as to which shot" took effect first.
Through the use of the camera guns
pilots and gunners will be able to 60

BERLIN, October 25.-Reliable sources
here today made known the United
States State Department and the Ger
man foreign Office have under way ne
gotiations for direct German-Ameri-
can war reparations agreement, inde-
pendent of the Young plan, to which
the other former allied nations probably
will adhere.
The negotiations have been proceed
ing for some time. The embassy has
withheld any comment, but tntimated
statement would be issued shortly.
The foreign office denied such nego-
tiations were progressing and said AM
basSador Schurman's conversations with
it were not different from those of dip
lomats Of nations adherIng to the Young
plan, and pertaining solely to techni-
cal matters regarding the Young plan.
The United States has maintained an
aloof attitude with regard to the Young
plan since the beginning Of the confer
ences from which it evolved. American
representation on both the Paris and
The Hague committees was unoficial.
The American reparations bill Is
small, compared to those Of other ma
tons concerned, being but about $240,-
O00, 900 and covering principally claims
ana costs OF the army Of occupation.
