WAs'HIX'JTON' Flying ships instead
of fiylns boats will be the logical
evoljtioa of navy aeaplcnes. navy ex
pert believe, aa a result ot the frit
air trip across the Atlantic. First 1m-iTfj.-wr.i
of the lessens taug-ht by that
trip had already taken detinite shape
In tha minds of the fnia who conceived
and created tha NO machines before
Lieutenaut-Commander A. C. Read had
maneuvered the NC-i to a safa moor
i.:ir at Plymouth, England.
etrangely enough. It was to tha ex
perience of tha NC-1. lost oft tha
Ajores. and tha XC-J, battered out of
usefulness by heavy seas before she
made port at Porta Delxada. that the
inventive genius or tha department
turned for inspiration, not to the NC-
that batiled her way triumphantly
throurh the historic Journey.
Naval experts have reached certain
definite preliminary conclusions to
guide them in future seipUne design-
iuk. They are convinced that to play
Its full part In naval strategy the sea
plane must become as macpcnoeai a
unit as a modern submarine or de
siroyer. It must be able to keep the
seas tn heavy weather, riding it out
on the surface. It must be abia to lift
us:t Into air or to plane down to a
aa:e landing even when tall seas are
running and it must provide for lis
irsw fafety. shelter and reasonable
comfort under very adverse circum
stances for the efficiency of the p!ane
depends upon the efficiency of Its men.
Also, to fulfill Its function as scout.
tMs plane of the future must be able
to communicate at ail t'mes by radio.
When the NC-3 was forced down we.t
if the Azores with Commander John H.
Tower, flight commander aboard, she
became dumb. As a scouting unit her
vslua to a fleet was lost from that
moment. Whatever her commander
might have learned of vita! Importance
to the flet commander could not have
been transmitted.
Tha answer to a!l of these require
ments in the minds ot the experts
spells larger craft veritable flying
ships. The vision toward which thei
deitzners are looking Is that of flo
tillaa of seaplanes, relying wholly upon
their own power for transportation D
the surface or in the air and operating
from, swift "mother ships" as sub
marines and destroyers now operate.
These conclusions will be written
Into new designs gradually. As battle
ships have developed from 11.000-ton
predreadnaughts to the 43.000-ton nion
kters for which the navy Is now con
tractinr. so naval officers say. sea
plana evolution will come type by type
and year by year, each advance bein?
based on results obtained from preced
ing types. This Is the programme lai
out bv the navy department as th
basis for the request recently made to
ronjrew by Secretary Daniels lor iv
00.040 for aviation development in the
nnl fiscal year.
Part of this appropriation. If grant
ad. will go into lighter-than-air devel
opment. The general board Is expect
ed to recommend Immediate purchase
of a British rigid dirigible for person
nel training aud the construction of a
similar vessel on American designs as
pilot ship of a fleet of Rir cruisers. The
purchase of the British "Zeppelin"
would permit the training of a crew to
handle the first American craft when
l completed.
V The navy department Ik raid to be
ready to proceed with Zrppelln con
struction on its own plans whenever
Congress grams authority anil appro
priations. The ship. It is understood,
would not be patterned exactly on the
British modifications of Cerman Zeppe
lin construction. The discovery of non
combustible helium gas to inflnte the
maga la said to have pointed the way
to some radical changes in drsign- I'e
ta:ls of what Is trontemp'.ated. how
ever, have not been disclosed.
Naval experts point out that in both
seaplane aud dirigible development one
of the mol lnport.mt elements to be
considered is that of getting efficient
power. The Liberty motors have proved
b-.ghly satisfactory so fr as en-Iurance
goes on the transatlantic fttitht. but
ro means have yet been evolved to get
full brnrlt of their power. The prob
lem ts the same as that encountered
with sam turbines in surface craft.
The efT.cient erg'ne speed of any gas
oline motor now known is too high for
efficient propeller speed. Connected
ilirect to the engine shafts, the pro
filers revolve so rapuilv that the
length and rll'h of the bUtlfi cinnot
b set so as to obtain all of the lifting
pwer te engine could furnish.
The raw has been working for
irortr.s wi:li a reduction gear svs:em to
go between the ereme and the pro
peller A similar device has permitted
d's'royrrs to use turbine engines, but
t as been found a difficult task to
tes:gn a lightweight reduction gear
for sarlar.s or other aircraft. Should j
ti devic be worked out. the NO ses
planes cou!d b ms!e much more effi
cient and their chuising radius be

As to the sea-keeplnr qualities of

the intensencss of the picture make
it remarkable. Other striking bits of
photography are the close-up pictures
of Miss Talmadge.
The story of "The New Moon" deals
with a Russian princess of wealth and
breeding who. to escape the anarchists
and their degrading orders of national

Thomas. Kraemer and Humphreys, is
baok in Portland after going through
the battle of the Argonne and taking
a Jaunt into the occupied portions of
Germany. Major Humphreys slipped
quietly Into town Monday and was
back into his "civies" and ready to
resume his law practice before his
friends knew that he had reached this
side of the Atlantic.
Leaving Portland in May. 1917, Major
Humphreys won his commission as cap
tain at the first officers' training
camp at the Presidio. After aperiod
of service at Camp Lewis he went
across with the 91st division, being a
member of the advance party which
reached France in June, 1918.
First Action in Argonne.
The major took his contingent Into
action first in the Argonne. where dur
ing almost the entire month of Septem
ber the men fought their way through
the Argonne forest against the bitter
est opposition. Sent back of the lines
for rest and reorganization at the end
of September. Major Humphrey's con
tingent was allowed only a few hours'
respite when It was rushed by train
to the Ypres salient in Belgium to sup
port the 'French. Here the organiza
tion fought its way forward until the
armistice was signed.
"The fiercest fighting we met was
In the Ypres salient," Major Humphreys
said. "The fight was not so long con
tinued as in the Argonne, but there
were periods when the shell fire was
tremendous and the losses frightful. On
October 31, when the Germans put up
the strongest opposition to our attack,
we suffered 25 per cent casualties in
six hours. But we gained our ob
jective." .
Major Escapes Wounds.
Major Humphreys came through the
war without a scratch. During the Ar
gonne drive he acted as operations of
ficer for the regiment, being attached
to the famous 364th infantry, 91st di
vision. Other Portland officers who
were with the 364th are Major Richard
son, Major Race, Major Davis, Major
Pasch and Lieutenant Colonel Voorhies.
Following the armistice. Major Hum
phreys took a trip up into the occupied
areas in Germany and then went to
Paris, where he attended a course in
law, history and politics at the Univer
sity of Paris.
He left France May 21 and was dis
charged at Camp Dlx June 19.

OCEAN SHRINKS IN SIZE
TRANS-ATLAXTIC AERIAL TItAV.
EL THOUGHT NEAR.
Lieutenant-Commander Albert C.
Read Gives Views of Results
of Trip of the "C-4.
NEW YORK, July 2. Regular trans
Atlantic aerial travel would become a
reality within three years if interest
in aviation in time of war were con
tinued In time of peace, declared Lieutenant-Commander
Albert C. Read,
"skipper"" of the NC-4. at a dinner
(riven tonight by the American Flyinp
club in honor of the airmen who won
for the American navy the honor of
being first to fly across the Atlantic.
"Anyone who says that we will never
attain an altitude of 60,000 feet, that
we will never be able to cross to
Europe in the forenoon and neturn in
the afternoon, that we will never be
able to accomplish the things that ap
pear Impossible now, Is a most cour
ageous persons, with a courage similar
to those in the olden days who said
that iron ships would never work," as
serted Commander Read.
"Regarding the radio, the results ob
tained by the radio officer on the NC-4
undoubtedly broke many previous
records. He sent messages over 7U0
miles. He heard Boston talking over
1000 nautical miles. He copied a long
message sent from the George Wash
ington when approaching Brest, France,
from 1175 miles away. He heard sta
tions calling other stations 1300 miles
awav.
Answering his own question as to
whether the results obtained from the
flight were worth the expense, by as
serting that "an immense amount o?
information concerning seaplanes and
operation over the sea for long dis
tance" had been obtained. Commander
Read added he wonld not "try to esti
mate the more intangible results of
the increasing prestige to the navy
and to the country."
"My general impression of the trans
Atlantic flight was to the effect that
the Atlantic ocean had greatly shrunk
Jn size," he said in closing. "That was
a real impression, for no matter how
much we may sit down at a table and
figure speed, distances and elapsed
time, it is not really brought home to
us what an enormous saving in time is
effected by flying instead of steaming
across the ocean until we actually try
to do it."
Commander Read expressed confi
dence that Captain Roy N. Francis,
army aviator, would be successful in
his proposed transcontinental flight
and asserted that from his own experi
ence he is convinced Captain Francis
could have selected no more efficient
motor than the Liberty, constructed un
der stress of war.
