" FEIGHT TO COAST * WILL BE VIA SOUTH Long Trip Has Strained Air- planes So That High Fly- ing Is Dangerous. The revised itinerary of the world fyers to the cnd of their journey faround the world was announced late vesterday by the War Department as follows: Dayton, Ohio; Chicagog ill.; Omaha, Nebr.; St. Joseph, Co.; MWsko- zee, Okla.; Dallas, Tex. Tex.; Tueson, Ariz: San Diego, Angeles and n Francisco, Calf.; liugene, Ore., and Seattle, Wash. The original route, which contem- plated the crossing via Dayton, Ohio, o Chicago, and westward along tne air mail line to Sacramento, was vhanged at the request of Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, commanding the world squadron, after he and his col- leagues had completed a careful in- spection of the airplanes. Canmot Go Very High.

MAY SALVAGE FLOATING PALACES OF CALIGULA Great Roman ® Galleys of Evil Roman Emperor in Bottom of Lake Nemi. ROME, September 11.—A fresh at- tempt is about to be made to raise the remains of the two great Roman galleys that lie at the bottom of Lake Nemi, that most picturesque little sheet of water in the heart of the Alban hills, haunted forever by the memory of the famous sanctuary and grove of Diana that once stood on its banks and the grim-mystery of the rites there celcbrated. - The galleys, which were floating pleasure palaces of the type known as thalamegos, were built and launched on the lake by Caligula to form an occasional pleasant refuge from his_strenuous life of crime in Rome. They were houseboats be- yond our dreams, encrusted with marbles, ornamented with precious metals and scented woods and adorned with statuary; the sails were of the finest linen, and the hangings were woven with silver and gold. After the death of Caligula the gal- leys were apparently left to their fate. As time went on the timbers rotted away, water got into the holds, and the vessels finally keeled over and sank to the bottom of the lake, where their dark outlines can be faintly seen on very clear, still days—World-Wide. i 11.—Secretary Zood will of the will | | A Warrington, England, engineer . has constructed an all-steel .boat, 12 feet Jong. in which he intends to cross | Chain of Supplies Laid | experienced in planning, organizing j at Pari | Crumerine. member of the | best he could. | finding trip through the far North in | Efficient Planning In Advance Held Greatest Insurance to Flight's Success Preliminary Preparation Simplified Actual Accomplishment Around World Made For Assurance In the enthusiasm over the tri- umphant progress around the world of America’s daring airmen little thought has been given by the pub- lic to the tremendons and oft-times perilous tasks undertaken by the ad- vance officers. who crossed bieak seas, frozen forests, torrid jungles or un- inhabited deserts in their all-im- portant work of establishing supply bases at strategic points along the path marked out for the fiyers to follow. . It jmattered not, after these ar- rangements had been completed, at what place the fiyers might be forced down—not far away they would have had access to new alrplane and en- gine parts, fuel and ofl, food or what- ever their needs might have been.

Cognizant of the magnitude of the project, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Army Air Service, more than yvear ago ordered a compre- hensive study made of the proposition by a specially appointed world flight committee composed of officers and conducting long-distance flights. This committee had no precedents to copy. They were ploneers in their field, but their ability is testified to by the succe: of the flight to date. “The committee follows: Capt. St. Clair Streett, in charge of route, maps, organization and liaison; Capt. William F. Volandt. transportation and finance Capt. Lorenzo L. Snow, diplo- matic relations: Lieut. Robert J. Brown, Jr. organization and co-ordination: Lieut. Erik H. Nelson. one of the flyers, equipment and engineering: Lieut. Clarence 15 Crumerine, equipment, engineering and advance work, and Licut. Elmer E. Adler, supply. committee divided the pro. posed path of the fivers into s major divisions and as: igned an ad- vance officer 1o take charge of each division. These advance officers themselves experienced fiyers, could be used substitute pilots should the occasion arise. The di- visions they patrolled range in length from 3,000 to 6.000 miles. Lieut. Clayton L. Bissell of this city, was in charge of the 1st division, from Seattle to the Kurile Islands, Japan. Lieut Clifford C. Nutt took charge of the 2nd division, through Japan to Shangha Lieut Malcolm S. Lawton hed over the 3rd portion, across a French Indo-China, Stam, Burma and part of India to Calcutta. Lieut Har A. Halverson supervised the 4th section, across India, Persia, Syria and Turkey to near Constanti- nople. Maj Carlyle H. Wash, air attache had charge of the §th Divi- sion, across Kurops to London. Lieut. flight com- mittee, directed the work of the last division from London, across Scot- land, the ¥Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and back “home.! After the flight started it was found that the last division was too extensive for_one man to handle, so Lieut. Le Claire D. Schultze was giver a special detail in charge of all arrangements | at the farthest north stop, the re- mote town of Angmagsalik. All Modes of Travel. In the words of Lieut. Brown the flight committee, these officers | circled the globe “on horseback or| afont, by water, rail or caravan, by dogsled and by airplane.” Their duty was to make the path of the fvers as ecsy as possible. Each officer was charged with the duty also of facili tating the passage of the flyers through his long expanse of territory and to clear up afterward all busiress in conn ion with the flight Ameri- can diplomatic officials in all the 25 countries over which the flvers pass- ed co-operated fully and American business men or their representatives road aided materially in the ar- rangement; By means of this whole-hearted as- sistance which the advance officers | met with, a definite schedule for the shipment of supplies was worked out. S0 that the accessories to be planted at various bases would not be shipped too soon nor too late. At each stop | a local representative was appointed to look after the business of the flight in the absence of the advance officers. that js, these representatives Wwere arranged for where possible, but in | a number of the inaccessible and un- | inhabited lands through which the course passed the advance officer had to make all arrangements himself as of | Licut. Crumerine, in charge of the North Atlantic hop arrangements, had many thrilling experiences in carry- ing out his dutics. Ile made a path- the Summer and Fall of 1923, spend- | ing several weeks searching the coasts of Greenland for adequate harbor and anchorage facilities for the planes. He tabulated a list of all Eskimo set- tlements along the line of the flight, with detailed information to guide the fiyers in seeking food and assistance if they should be forced down in that cold region. During this trip he faced starva- tion and death at one time when he became lost in the frozen wilds while traveling by dog sled over the west coast of Greenland, and later the ship upon which he et out narrowly escaped ramming a cliff concealed in a fog off | the Faroe Islands. i Thankless Job. | Capt. Volandt had probably the most | thankless job of the world flight com- mittee. As finance officer and agent of- ficer he had to keep all the books and settle all accounts, in_addition to pre- paring all shipping instructions for sup- plies and fuel. He arranged for ehip- ments in American vessels to virtually all points over the world, and in re- mote areas where no trade or passenger vessels operate normally secured the as- sistance of Navy destroyers and vessels of the United States Coast Guard. Capt. Streett, as route officer, went over the whole route, first on paper and finally in person. In mapping out the course he examined every avail- able map and publication bearing on the foreign lands to be crossed. In this way he compiled a guide book to the airway uround the world, which proved of inestimable value to the fiyers. In fact, it is said that the fivers at times “flabbergasted” the ad- vance officers along the route with their knowledge of conditions in the various divisions, gained ffom Capt. Streett’s data. Lieut: Nelson, later selected as en- gineering officer of the flight, was in charge of the construction of the Douglas air cruisers used by the fiyers, supervising every detail of work at the factory in California. Nelson is credited with virtually de- signing the planes. Varied Types of Stock. Lieut. Adler, in charge of supplies, stocked the 18 supply and repair | little opposition, {of Burope | known | evs | spectes depots. established at convenfent points circling the globe.

The location of the respec- tive depots necessitated a different type of supplies. Those in the frigid Arctic were stocked with warm, fur- lined clothing, radiator alcohol and glycerine, ete. Those in the tropics carried a supply of light wearing apparel and flying equipment, to- gether \$ith cxtra large radiators sol the heated englnes. The depots re oun an average 1500 tant from one another Final success of the great trail- blazing flight depended, of course the fiyers themselves, but even Lieut. Smith and his bold companions could not have completed their task had a single link in the great chain laid around the earth by the advance officers been faulty. o LEGION’S EMBLEM OLD WORLD FLOWER Unique History Outlined for the Daisy, Official Designation Adopt- ed by War Veterans. w ol When the question of a floral em- blem was before the American Legion it was thought the Flanders poppy would be accorded the honor with says the American Nature Association of Washington. But in America the poppy has shown a tendency to become a troublesome weed and to many the bright scarlet blossom recalled bitter memori The daisy was adopted. But the daisy an American flower?

Smith. Lieut. Comdr. H. H. Frost, now Wwith the Burecau of Navigation, was commanding the destroyer Ford last May, and Lieut. Comdr. J. W. Mc- Claran, now attached to the Naval Intelligence here, was captain of the Pope. Both officers have not been in Washington a month. The Ford was located farther north than the Pope but the two ships were harrassed by storms for days. Although lying at anchor they fre- auently were blown toward the rocks and had to keep steam up throughout their wait. “It seems like a year since we struck that section,” said Lieut. Smith. Lieut. Comdr. Frost again told the flight commander of the surprise he experienced when the planes put in sight. “I thought you were about 700 miles away,” he sald, “and never dreaméd that you would be coming over on that day. When the signalman yelled through the tube that ‘the planes are sighted’ you could have knocked me over with a feather.” The flyers were put aboard the Ford for their stay in the Kuriles and also spent several days on the Pope. To this destroyer goes the distinction of having served them the earliest breakfast of their flight around the world—first call for the meal being at midnight. LITTLE RADIO IN RUSSIA. Use of Sets Among Peasantry Dis- couraged. MOSCOW, September 11.—Russia is one of the few countries of the world where “radio” sets in the home are scarcely known. In all the 8,000,000 square miles of Russian territory, with a population of 130,000,000, it would be difficult to find more than a dozen amateur receiving outfits. This is due to the non-manufacture of home wireless apparatus in Rus- sia; to the prohibitive duty on im- ported sets; to the Russian peasant's ignorance of what wireless means, and to the reluctance of the Soviet government to permit the indiscrim- nate use of radio apparatus which migbi-be used for.

The tendency of tourists to dig up plants in various parts of the country for planting on their home grounds, perhaps in. some distant State, fraught with dangers not commonly known to exist. These dangers are the transportaiton of plants infested with destructive diseases or pests. One of these diseases, which is of im portance in the New England and the Lake States, is the white pine blister rust, says the Department of Agri- @ulture. By digging up voung white pine trees and transporting them back homo tourists are liable to carry the disease into a community which is free of it, thereby subjecting the region to the ravages of a destructive enemy of white pines. Apparently healthy young trees may be infected with the blister rust. This discase was brought here from Europe in pine planting stock which sesmed to be healthy.

Unless the tourists co-operaate by refraining from the natural impulse to bring home plants of their own dig Eing the work of controlling plant dis eases and pests is going to be much more difficult, it is stated. Persons wh want young white pines should buy them from nurseries. The shipments from nurseries are inspected so that the danger from this source is reduced 10 & minimun: Pine Subject to Blister Rust.
