MELLI BESSE, WOMAN AVIATOR WHO WILL ATTEMPT OCEAN FLIGHT. OT discouraged by the fact that she has broken her legs in five places, sustained fractures of several ribs and has broken her nose three times in tumbles out of the air, Melli Besse, Germany’s famous woman aviator, has announced her intention of trying for the honor of being the first air pilot to fly across the Atlantic, for which pur- pose she is constructing her own hy- droaeroplane. Melli Besse is widely known not only as a daring fller and as Germany's only woman aeroplane pilot, but as the only woman in the world who conducts a flying school, of which she herself is the principal and who makes a busi- 14183, of designing and manufacturing flying machines. Of a small, lithe figure, Frau Besse is & beautiful wo- man of thirty. She won a pilot's li- cense more than four years ago, the first to be granted to & woman in Ger- many. ‘When seen at the flying field in Ger- many, where more than 300 machines are stationed, Mrs. Besse said that she was not discouraged by the accidents that befell her while flying. She de- clared that the accidents were the fault of her teachers and did not happen when shé was at the wheel. “Yes, I am going to be among those who will be the first to try to fly across the Atlantic,” she said the other day when interviewed regarding her feat. “If I cannot be the first to pilot a flying machine to America, at least I want to be the first woman to achieve that honor. I am constructing a new type of hydroaeroplane which will be com- pleted shortly. I will test it thorough- ly on the North sea and if it proves satisfactory it will serve as a model for a larger craft to be used in a transat- lantic attempt next spring. I will be- gin worK on the big machine this summer. I will personally pilot my machine, assisted by my husband and by two mechanics. My designs are for a craft that will be able to cross the ocean in thirty-five hours.” Frau Besse some time ago married one of her pupils. She has turned out about forty pilots from her school. She owns six aeroplanes. Speaking of the development of aviation, this wo- man aviator said: “The future development of aviation, 80 far as the sport is concerned, es- pecially for women, lies upon the wa- ter, where it is easy to fly and there is little danger. It is only when the manufacturers recognize this that fly- ing will become the popular sport it deserves to be. I am quite confident that in a very few years a flight across the Atlantic will be an ordinary oc- currence. Every day we are getting nearer to the conquest of the air. With favorable winds the ocean flight is not as hazardous as it appears to be at first glance. I suppose that by the time that I have arranged for my flight next spring some of your intrepid American aviators will pay us a little visit on this side. Even If the first venture meets with disaster it does not mean that that will end the attempt to cross the waters. Any accident that may be- fall the first one to try will simply serve as a lesson to those who will again try.” Those who have watched Mrs. Besse in the air say that she handles a ma- chine perfectly. While possessed of extraordinary daring, she is not fool- hardy. The accidents she met while a pupil have not been without their les- sons. That they have not deprived her of her courage, however, is evidenced by her announced determination to cross the ocean. ARTHUR J. BRINTON.

Bodwell L.and Company National Bank Building. REAT sums of money have been expended in target prac- tice by the United States navy. The ultimate end sought for in this sedulous training and costly expenditure has been the acquiring of an ability to hit the enemy first, to hit rapf and to hit hard. It was realized some years ago by the officials of the navy that sea fights of the present day will open at extremely long ranges, say five or six miles. Rear Admiral Evans said, “The fleet that first gets the range and is best han- dled after the range is obtained will undoubtedly do such damage in the first ten minutes as practically to dis- able the opposing fleet.” All other things being equal, the in- itial advantage therefore would appear to be the deciding one. The gaining of this advantage is now almost wholly dependent upon the observers stationed in the tops, the clear eyed, cool head- ed men who from their point of van- tage and by the various systems of fire control communicate to the men behind the guns. ‘With these salient points in mind one &an clearly comprehend the vast importance of an observing sta- tion sufficiently elevated for the range finders to execute their mission with precision and celerity, and, more im- portant still, a station that can remain longest erect under the stress of battle. The original test of the skeleton mast, with which all gf the battlesnips of the United States navy are now equipped, was a momentous affair. ‘The mast was subjected to a thor- ough test and emerged successfully. The first shot, a four ingh projectile, cut one of the steel rods.” The second cut several more rods, but did not in- jure its stability. A twelve inch pro- Jectile likewise did very little damage. ‘When several shots had been fired at the mast navy officers climbed to the top of the mast and shook it with all their strength, but it stood firm. If any post ever requires coolness and iron nerve it is required by the men who take station in one of these structures when an enemy Is sighted and when battle is soon to be joined. In his admirable essay on “Courage and Prudence,” published by the naval institute, Captain B. A. Fiske says that “whatever method of observation from aloft be employed it is evident that, even supposing the shots to group as well as at target practice, the work of the observers aloft will be of the most delicate kind. It is difficult to realize any job that could be given to mortal man, not excluding that of the admiral or captain, requiring such absolute presence of mind and such persistent concentration as that needed of every member of the fire control party. Any member of a gun's crew—in fact, any- body else on the ship—can get some relief by physical.exertion p§ some sort, Iron Nerve Required In Skeleton Mast Photo by An.erican Press Assoclation.
