Shepherd, the spokesman for the five brother- hoods who attempted to mediate between the railroads and the shop- men, suggested that perhaps there might be a settlement brought about between the shopmen and some in- dividual railroads, because of the varying conditions existing through- out the country. Acting upon the above suggestion, the Chesapeake and Ohio, with fifty-one other roads aggregating 85,000 mifes, conferred with the brotherhood heads, they serving as mediators, to see if a settlement cquld be brought about.. The repre- sentatives of these roads felt that they could, without departing from the principles for which either side had been striving, make arrange- ments that would be acceptable to both sides. With this in view, a proposition was presented to the mediators, which, so far as this com- pany was concerned, made such pro- vision as would result in all men being returned to work at once in positions of the class they originally held on June 30th, 1922, and in the same city and locality, with their pass and pension privileges fully re- stored and with their present rates of pay. e Léunching the Fall Season Witl:l The New *‘Betty Pump . awaiting—this new Fall “Betty” Pump.

Richmond, Va.,-August 26, 1922, In making this arrangement it was fully and definitely understood that the rights and interests of the old men who either remained in the service or who have come back to the service since July Ist and the new men who have come into the service will be fully and justly pro- tected. i \ The proposition further provided that if a dispute should arise as to relative standing of an employe or employes the matters should be re- ferred to a comymission, to consist of ten men, five of whom would be the big five representatives, the other five railroad officers. ~ It would seem ill-advised that " men should refrain from going to work if they are able to accomplish the substance of what they have really been asking for. - ‘This statement is published to show the public, as well as our men, that we have made an earnest en- deavor to settle the matter without sacrificing any principle so far as either side is concerned and yet giv- ing the public the service to which they are entitled and which they must have to take care of their wants in the coming winter. It is’' felt that the shopmen on consideration will feel that their rep- resentatives should have accepted a proposition along these lines. W. J. HARAHAN, : President. Well, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, AUGUST ARMY AND NAVY NEWS BY MAJ. ARTHUR ! THE ARMY Unless corrective measures are in- stituted the time may come when our national existence will be jeopardized by the condition of physical unfitness of our man power. This is the gist of an article by Maj. A. D. Tuttle, M. C., on the mission of the medical department in time of war, which, he states, is “the preservation of strength of the forces in the field.” In an analysis of the world war Maj. Tuttle shows that of the men Jegully qualified in class 1 approxi- mately 25 per cent will be rejected or assigned to limited service because of physical defects. Ninety per cent, he states, will be rejected because of disabilities existing prior to the call to. military service. According to Maj. Tuttle's state- ment, the weeding-out process causes a serious delay in the speed of mobil- ization, with the consequent inability to mobilize our man power rapidly for defense. The problem, he says, Is one pri- marily of public health work to pre- vent the development of these de- fects, and, secondarily, of medico- military efiiciency to increase the speed of induction. Incrense Athletic Mee Field, track and tennis sports will be included in the annual meet of the Naval and Military academies next year, atcording to the present plans of the superintendents of the two in- stitutions. The first game in these branches will take place at West Point in the spring, probably on the same day the base ball nines meet. 1 The the personal efforts of Rear Admiral | Wilson, superintendent of Academy. Admiral Wilson | was willing for the midshipmen to meet the cadets in several additional branches, but the authorities of the Military 'Academy were said {o be willing at this time to extend it only to these two sports. As the teams now mect annually in foot ball, base ball and basket ball, it is reasonable to presume that the Tlist of competitive athletics will be extended between the two acad- cmies. Fewer Warrant Officers. Another handicap growing out of the reduction of the Army is the de- crease required for the number of warrant oflicers serving on the mine ing to the provisions | . the number of warrant officers in this service must be re- duced by August 29 from seventy- five to forty. y of whom have . Army, will, it is e discharged without pay allowance. The War is not permitted to re- tire this class of eflicient officers, f whom are. ters and chiet The only course left open with little many engineers. for them is to re-enlist propect of promotion, especially by the older officers. 2d Corps Reservists. A board composed of Regular and Reserve Corps officers has completed | the location and designation of unit In the states constituting the 2d orps are. of the board, which has taken more than a vear,| is embraced in_an order recently| issued from the headquarters of Maj. Sen. Bullard, Governors Island, N. Y. This order gives, among other infor- mation, the location and strength of the troops of the 77th, 78th and 9S8th Infantry Divisions, 61st Cavalry Di- vision, corps troops, Army troops and G. H. Q. and coast artillery troops. A list of district and county quotas is also given, as well as localization maps, handy charts of division, corps and Army organizations. Reserve officers assigned or attached to or- i ganizatlons in the 2d Corps area up | to April, 1922, totaled 5,777. Signal Corps Instruction. A resumption of activities in the Signal_Corps School at Camp_ Alfred cail, N. J., will take place the fore part’ of September. The course for enlisted men, which has a capeity for 300 students, and the company offi- cers' course, whose capacity is about sixty officer students, will open at the same date. Owing to the limited mileage and transportation funds, it is not known how many enlisted men and officers will be sent to the school this fall Due to the reductiop of the personnel of the Army, there Will not be an ad- vanced course this year, as none of the branches has 'any officers to spare Tt is hoped. however, that the advanced course of ten months for officers will be in- cluded in the curriculum for next year. !{ 3 i AIR SERVICE ] < - Mechanical Instruction of Air Serv- ice personnel in connection with heavier-than-alr craft, conducted with such excellent results at the Air Service mechanics’ school at Chanute Fleld, Ill, is soon to be augmented by the introduction of courses for lighter-than-air mechanics. The instructional staff of the school will be utilized, with the exception of nine enlisted lighter-than-air spe- cialists, who will conduct courses for gas-plant operation, mechanics (bal- Joon and airship), fabric workers, auto mechanics and winch drivers. The dovetailing of the training of these two branches will result in a large saving of time and money. Work has been started upon | hangars and a contractor is on the ground to commence the grading of the 99th Division flying field at Pitts- burgh, Pa. This field, which was pre- sented to the government by the Aero Club of Pittsburgh, is located about one mile from Hoboken, Pa., a short distance above Pittsburgh on the Allegheny river. It will be in shape to receive flying equipment in about two months: Eesides being the headquarters of the 324th Aero Squadron of the 99th Reserve Division, this fleld will serve for the Army corps squadrons of the surrounding counties.

CARR, Secretary | G..DUNCAN, U. 8. R, hoped that the many reserve pilots of Western Pennsylvania will be able to get in sufficient refresher work to keep them actively interested and im touch with all new developments. ‘Whenever an Air Service organiza- tion receives official orders directing a change of station it does not always have to rely entirely on the railroads to effect the move. In the recent change of station of the first group from Ellington Fleld, Tex., to Self- ridge Field, Mich. its new station, fourteen Spad XIII's, two SE5A’'s and five DH4B's were transported by air, the balance of the personnel and equipment going by rail. It is esti- mated that_had the entire mové been effected by rail the cost would have been $8,789, and since the estimated cost of this movement was $2,340, a saving of more than $6,000 was effected. A word to prospective flying cadets. At Fort Omaha, Neb., (eces;\lly an Army examining board was in session to examine candidates for appoint- ment as flying cadets. Only four out of twelve passed the physical exami- nation. Most of those who failed had physical defects which could have been picked up by any physician. Had these unsuccessful candidates, prior to making their trip, taken the precaution to submit to a preliminary examination by their home physicians they would have been found disquali- fied and saved the time, together with the expense, which their trip entailed. Selfridge Field, Mich., is to be the scene of the next Pulitzer race, to be held on October 12, 13 and 14. The officers of the first group (pursuit) are preparing for an attendance of crrangement is the result of jabout 100,000 people and are of the opinion that the event will undoubt- edly surpass anything that has ever been done heretofore in races. Starting tomorrow 27, 1922 PART I~ L —— e 3 An interesting application of the Navy's war-time radio system to peace-time purposes is the announce- ment made last week that arrange- ments have been made with the raval communication service for radio com- munication with the S. S. Pan-Amer- ican and the S. S. American Legion during Secretary Hughes' trip to Rio de Janeiro and return. Both ships have been furnished with specfal amplifiers for the wave lengths of the Navy stations. Amer- ican press messages will be received direct aboard the ships each day of the trip and special arrangements have been made with the Navy for handling Interesting bits of informa- tion as to events aboard ship which may be compiled by the many news- paper correspondents. Messages sent from the ships will probably be routed through the radio receiving stations at Bar Harbor, M and San Juan, Porto Rico. Aft crossing the equator it may be nece: sary to send messages from the ships to the Brazilian shore radio stations of “static,” which is always bad in southern waters. In addition, the battleships Maryland and Nevada, which will accompany the Shipping Board vessels, will also copy the mes- sages and will relay them if neces- sary. / Neovel Afrcraft Arrives. A new type of plane for the train- ing of student naval aviators, which combines safety features never before equaled in aircraft, with qualities of speed and maneuverability, has just been delivered at the naval air staiion, Anacostia, after a ten-hour flight of 760 miles from Ogdensburg, N. Y. Tests conducted at the factory and subsequent flights, notably the one ffrom New York, have demousirated excellent qualities of stability in the plane which renders it of exceptional value for training purposes. The ship will_be known as the Huff-Navy HN-1 and was built to Navy specifica- tions. It is equipped with a Hispano- guiza engine, which recently passed a record-breaker trial of 250 hours’ duration on a Navy test stand in ‘Washington. A recent demonstration, conducted by a Navy. pilot under ihe supervis- ion of naval'inspectors, showed that the HN plane was all but capable of flying_without a pilot. A descrip- tion of the test by Commander T. G. Ellyson of the bureau of aeronautics is sufficlent to give an accurate idea of the stability demonstrated by the plane: “In testing the plane for sta- bility the pilot released the controls, taking his hands and feet off of them. The throttle was cut to low speed and the plane went into a long glide. He then speeded up the engine and, still without the controls being touched. the plane leveled off and continued in normal flight, with the engine turn- ing up from 1,100 to 1,200 revolutions and the plane making about sixty knots. “Finally the engine was speeded up with the throttle wide open. The plane began to climb, and in doing so her spced was cut to about forty knots. She fell off on one wing and dove until a spced of 100 knots was registercd, when the plane again 1 eled off in a normal flight. ~During the entire demonstration the pilot, Licut. Nelson, did not touch the con- trol with either his feet or his hands.” Based on the recent perfermance under test by officials of the bureau of aeronautics, it is stated that a new type of airship engine to be installed in the ZR-1 will be able to establish the lowest figure for fuel consump- tion yet recorded in airship opera- tions. The new flect alrship will carry six of the engines and will have a rated horsepower of 1.800. When cruising at 6,000 feet altitude the engines are required to develop an average of 250 brake horsepower each and turn up a speed of 1,400 revolutions per minute. During the recent test the new type engine fulfilled and exceeded these requirements. With wide-open throt- tle a horsepower of 370 was recorded, and the average horsepower devel- as 256 at an average speed of m. The fuel economy re- _No Charges and None Sent on Approval cord established in the test is repre- sented by the amount, by weight, of gas consumed per brake horsepower per hour. This expenditure was re- corded as 436 pounds over the entire test peiiod.
