fVav* Against
No-Stop NC
Flight to U. S.
Continued from page 1
of all the American navy's XTC boats
regarding the feasibility of a direc
Atlantic flight by the NC-4 developed
a wide divergence of opinion. No on
would say it was impossible, or even
impracticable, but there was general
agreement that much depended upon
the direction of the wind and that
there was greater prospect of success
m flying from Newfoundland to Ire?
land than the reverse.
Lieutenant E. F. Stone, pilot of the
NC-4, was positive no attempt would
be made to fly norne bv way of Ire?
land and Newfoundland. He pointed
out that all the NC planes are still
in an experimental sta?;o and that none
of th?m was built for a direct Atlantic
flight, lie thought the chance of a
favorable wind from this side was too
remote to make serious consideration
or' the project possible.
? Casolene Supply a Problem
Advocates of the plan contended
that if one or two members of the
crew wore dropped, enabling the plane
to ?arry a greatly increased supply of
gasolene, there was an excellent chance
of success. They argued that the de?
stroyers used to aid this flight could
be stationed along the direct course
to ensure the safety of the crew, even
if the plane came to grief.
Machinist Christensen of the NC-1
thought it, might be done with favor?
able wind and weather conditions and
with a sufficient supply of gasolene for
the longer trip.
Lieutenant David II. McCulloch of
the NC-3, on the other hand, saw no
possibility of a return trip to New?
foundland, calling attention to the pre?
valence of fogs and icebergs, and add?
ing that only airmen could appreciate
the difficulties thus presented.
The opinions ot Commanders Read
arid Rellingor on the feasibility of the
flight were not available, as they have
been ordered to Paris, where it is ex?
pected the question will be thoroughly
discussed. .Meantime, orders are avait
ed from Washington regarding the dis?
position of the NC-4.
Why Azores Route Was Chosen
Lieutenant Commander Towers, who
was ranking officer of the NC squad?
ron, said his instructions for the flight
were that he was not to undertake
anything spectacular or that would
stand a chance of failure. It was for
that reason that the Azores route was
chosen instead of the direct route to
Ireland.
"We still feel that we have a chance
of making a flight by direct route to
Ireland," he added, "but it would be to
a certain extent a gamble, and tho
navy does not want to gamble."
LONDON", June 1.?The present plans
of the American crew are incomplete.
The commanders of the NC-1, NC-3
and NC-4 expect to receive orders to
proceed to Paris, poasibly to-morrow.
What the other fliers will do is not
known.
It is understood here that accord?
ing to present arrangements the NC-4
will be dismantled at Plymouth within
ten days and shipped back to the
United States on board the l'. S. S.
Aroostook. None of the NC crews is
anxious to participate in any flying
here.

LONDON. June 1. A great, cheering
crowd, composed largely of American
sailor?, soldiers and officers, packed the
station when the tram bringing the
American aviators from Plymouth
pulled in to-day. The instant the train
came to a stop Lieutenant Commander
Read and the members of the crew of
the NC-4 were the centre of a living
maelstrom. They were hoisted shoulder
high by their enthusiastic countrymen
and paraded around the station while
welcoming roars of cheering greeted
them.
"This is a real American welcome,"
said Lieutenant Commander Read, "i
thank you/' lie then managed to drop
into the ? rowd.
Besides sevo .: r , dred members of
the A. K. F., mai t Australian, New Zea?
land and 1 ?:?....-?'i soldiers and officers
joined in the welcome, but the size of
the crowd was insignificant compared
to ihe ? he? ring mass that greeted Haw
kei last Wednesday. The American
doughboys, however, made up in en?
thusiasm v ha' the crowd lacked in size,
and dragged iho tou -i:ig < tr containing
the crew of the NC-4 to the Aero Club,
v.- ne re an impromptu ice ption was
held.
Mr. and Mrs Hawker were on the
-.t\iion p]at."'1-.'ni, but the Australian
flier's wife was unable to get through
th.- press of humanity to greet the
Americans. Until the Americans had
left the station Clifford Prodgeer, a
British airman, did fancy flying stunt3
over the crowd.
Although British officials here, par?
ticularly those of the Royal Air Force,
are desirous of showing appr?ciation
of the Americans' great feat, the pub?
lic shows apathy toward the .whole
affair.
Lieutenant Commander Read and the
other naval airmen, accompanied by
Rear Admiral Plunkett and his staff,
had a rousing welcome from the crowd
at the Hendon Airdrome. Hawker had
arrived in advance of the party and
was in the air doing a "stunt" when
the Americans arrived.
Later the Americans and Mr. and
Mr*. Hawker were driven round the
airdrome in automobiles. The parly
wan received with vociferous cheering
and flag waving.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 1. A resoli

Aeronautic Congress at its closing se
?ions here this afternoon, follow?
the report presented by rtenry Woo.
house, the aeronautic expert. The r
port read, in part:
"The flight of the rff-4 has opene
the way for non-st?jj transatlant
flights starting from the United State3 ! ??
and landing in either England or
Prance. But to make such voyages it :
will be necessary to revolutionize air?
plane construction in several ways.
"A transatlantic flier capable of
crossing from Atlantic City to Paris
to win the $25,000 award offered by 1
Raymond Oilier, of New York, will '.
have to be three times as large as the .
Nc-4. . ;
Big Gain in Lifting Power
"One of the most important, features ,
of the NC type machines, which has
been overlooked, is that the lift was
thirteen pounds per square foot of l
wing surface, whereas the maximum <
lift per sonare foot of wing surface '
in airplanes heretofore has been only ?
nine pounds.
"This four pounds represents n great i
gain when ii is considered the NC
weighs more than 25,000 pounds. This -
gain makes it possible to think of :
building an air liner capable of cross- ;
ing from Atlantic City to Paris."
"such an aeroplane will have to ; r'
a load of more than 100,000 pounds
including the commercial load, and
therefore it will require not less th?h
10,000 square feet of wing surface.
This can be done, although it will re?
quire a different arrangement o( the
wings from that now followed.
"The problem is. How are we going
to get the lifting surface'.' To ligure
roughly, we will need a machine that
will lift, including its own weight,
about ]00,0(i0 pounds. To do that il
must have about 100,000 so.uare feel of
lifting surface. A biplane which would
do this would need a wing -pan of 171 I
feet and a chord of more than tu mty
eight feet. But these dimensions are '
unwieldy. And. anyway, we are not
going to stop with a machine that will
lift fifty tors.
Multiple Wings Suggested
"The only way to g I them is to I
have mere planes or wii "<. Caproni
has done this with hi great triplanos.]
But is there any reason why we should
step with three winr?s? Why not have
fou r, five or a dozen '.'
"Tl c \ '. ron i riplane at the Bosl :"i
; Harvar ! n el, Septemlx r, 1910, had
| the ti nd( icy to topple o'.rv. That es?
tablished a traditional prejudice
.against triplanes and quadruplancs.
I But although the prejudice still re?
mains, the height of aeroplanes is in
: creasing year by year.
"But there is '? limit to piling ono
plane on top of another, for the reason
that you soon make tho machine top
heavy. If wc tried to build a triplane
with 100,000 feet ol surface il would
have to be about fifty feel high, and
! shouldn't like to be in it when it
tried to land.
"Bui suppose we make it n quad
'? ruplano, and instead of putting our I
four wings one above the other, we
. put one pair in fronl and another pair
1 in back of them. We can add more
wi ngs at will, uvev; ; ng t hem in sets
so thai we can increase the I fting sur

"Congress should allow the funds

essary to develop these huge 'planes.

regular dying torpedo boats, carrying

Army May Drop Old Posts
New Military Policy Calls for
Centralizing Strength
WASHINGTON. May SI.?Renewal
of the recommendation to Congress
that the old army stations and posts in
the South and West, most of them
relics of pioneer days, be abandoned
is understood to be planned by the
War Department. The department
would utilize some for hospital or
other government purposes and sell
the rest.
Army officials say maintenance of
these posts not only has been dispro?
portionately expensive, but actually has
weakened the effort to organize an
efficient army by scattering the various
elements throughout the country. The
basic idea of the new military policy
of the general staff is the training of
large unit's at one time in order that
the officers may. be accustomed to
handling divisions and corps.
