A six-mile stretch was laid and put into service in eight minutes by a plane that came from its station forty miles away. Of the eight min- utes six were spent in flight and the other two in making connections. Great possibilities. both military ; and commercial; are seen by air sery joe officers in this new enterprise. quinment of planes for cablé Ia¥ing ja said to be simple and_inexpensive. For battle use. it is declared. the system may well prove “an effective means in the hands of army chiefs for influencing the outcome-of the ru Te. % ha course of operations in the open field,” So_says the report, “a connection can be brought about im- mediately, as, for instance. between different _marching columns, even though they are separated by inac- cessible ground. Another valuable use would be in establishing com- munications with troops on forced marches, either during an advance or a retreat. In trench warfare lines of communication destroyed by enemy fire can be restored. even in the mid- of violent action.”” A T e 5« no need for the plane to atight.
