To date six cross- country flights to Kelly fleld have heen successfully made in the Morse irsuit planes. The gas capacity of is plane is just sufficient for this VAVAL LIBRARY TO BE REMOVED FROM FORTY-YEAR-OLD HOME | ns have been made for the removal of the Naval Library, the only part of the Navy Department that still remains in the State, War and Navy building, which has heen its only home since its estab- lishment there about forty years ago. AJl the other branches of the Navy Department were re- mwoved during the world war to their present quarters in the big frame building in West Potomac Park and the vacated quarters were transferred to the State and War departments. The Naval Library is located on the fifth floor of the east wing, averlooking the White House, and is one of the largest and most beautiful rooms.in the big granite building. It was specially de- signed as a library and sasfeius what is probably the most com- plete collection of literatume on naval subjects in the world. | Nearly 70.000 Volumes. There are about 67,000 books on naval subjects and it also contains many valuable records of the Navy, including those relating to! the war of the revolution, the war of 1812, the eivil war, the Span- ish-American war, the late world war and other notable events of history in which the Navy took part. These records and volumes are in constant use forereference, and the officials of the Navy Depart- ment have concluded to remove small part of.the library to tem- porary quarters in the new Navy Department buudl:f and store the remainder in the old magasine at Bellevue, below Gt:al;o'r.q.

In spite of the fact that much fly- ing is done in the immediate vicinity of Manlila, the Filipino native still appears to be skeptical of the air- plane and regards it as saméthing strange and not regular in the course of buman events. When a plane flies over them they stop whatever they are doing and gaze at it as though it was some strange bird that has paid a visit to the earth from some distant planet. When a pilot banks or zooms his plane they fairly hold their breath—for how can it remain up and do the things it does? A communication officer at Kelly fleld recently demonstrated radio- Phone communication between a plane and the ground. A radio truck was stationed in front of the Alamo, San Antonlo, and from a large amplifier in the roof of the truck the voice from the plane overhead was heard clear- 1y and distinctly by & large and in- terested audience. The officer in charge of communication !& receiving congratulations and thanks from points up to 800 miles away for the concerts and dialogues he has been giving on the new radiophone re- cently received. — | THE NAVY r-—: Pending the enactment of legisla- tion for the regulation of air naviga- tion the national advisory committee for aeronautics in a resolution adopt- ed last week calls upon the operators. ot airciaft to properly and volun- tarily equip their ships in order to promote the safety and comfort of | passengers. } It is the committee’s opinion that { the suffering and loss of life attend- ing forced landings of aircraft on land or water can in all probubility be lessened by making use of exist- ing knowledge and facilities. To this end the committee urges that large seaplanes should be provided with wireless and other signaling equip ment, be seaworthy as well as air- worthy, and carry at all times fire extinguishers, life preservers, a first- ! aid kit and a supply of food and fresh water. Airplanes operating over the land should also carry similar ap- paratus. The recent accident to the Miss | Miami, in which four persons last their lives for want of reasonable | Precautions to provide for the safety of air travelers, prompted the above recommendations by the national ad- visory committee for aeronautics. | " Legislation for the regulation of | air navigation is now pending_in | | Congress.” A bill introduced by Sen- ' ator Wadsworth to create a bureau | of civil aeronautics in the Depart- | ment of Commerce has already passed the Senate. Crisls for Naval Reserves. Omission from the naval appro- priation bill of funds covering train- | ing of the naval reserves is not | only a body blow to adequate pre- | paredness for the first line of defense, but also an additional handicap foi the Regular Navy, now limited t 86,000 men. Little hope exists that z | Dill designed to make the reserve an | integral part of the Navy, following | | the Army precedent. will be passed | | by_Congress this session. ! Students of preparedness advocate for the Navy.a national appropriation ! to cover the'cost of training a naval | reserve such as that provided for the ( National Guard. It is estimated that | the comparatively _small $1,000,000 a year will cover the cost| of training an adequate reserve force. | which under present conditions, it is claimed, is a low cost insurance for | a nation of the size and wealth of | ours. Also there is the saving of | { efficlency by enrolling a number of veterans of the last war instead of allowing their naval value to wane and depreciate. Tt is estimated that in event pf war | {we would Immediately require for the ! | Navy alone approximately haif a mil | lion men. i | Must we again In an emergency de- | pend upon the draft and its cus-| tomary quota of untrained men? The | ! navies of ailied countries may not in | | future contests afford us time for! naval training, as was fortunately | the case in the late war. Last yea: there were 200,000 men in the naval jreserve. Lack of funds has reduced ! this number to 16,000. With the e ception of this number, 5.000 ex-se { 11,000 officers and men in local and ! state organizations, whose expenses are borne either individually or by! the states, we are dependent upon the recently reduced Regular Navy. In other words, our present strength is about 105,000 men, counting regu- lars and reserves, to man a treaty requires 120,000 as & minimum for ace-time requirements. In order to save $1,000,000 a year we lose not only our reserve insurance, but also the inter: and loss of training of the very men we would require in event of Kreltenfll attack or forced try into war. making the proposed transfer of books, documents and other ma- terial to such distant points has delayed the execution of the plans, but it is reported that there are unexpended balances In current appropriations for varfous naval purposes sufficient to meet the bill, which can be used in case the change is effected before the close of the present fiscal year. When the present library room is aban- doned by the Navy it will be trans- ferred to the State Department. ‘whieh may find use for it for in- ternational conferences and gen- eral meetings. The present quarters of the Navy Department are of a tem- porary character and it is argued that when Conmgress provides for the construction of a new Navy building provision can be made for reassembling of its scattered volumes and records in a suitable library. Capt. D. W. Knox is in charge of the library, with Miss Isabel Smith as his principal as- sistant. —_— TUXEDO. TUXEDO, Md., May 27 (Speciul).—!
