Aviation ANY MOTORIST CAN RUN PLANE, FLIER ASSURES Chamberlin Scoffs at Idea That Only Super-Men Can Be Aviators. Bp Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—“ Anybody who can drive an automobile can learn to fly!” Thus Clarence D. Chamberlin dispels the popular idea that a successful air pilot must have superior physical and mental equipment, along with steel nerves. ■< Chamberlin, hero of the New York-to-Germany flight, now consultapt on aviation to the city of New York, expresses the belief, in an article written for the current North American Review, that thousands of Americans would be flying their own planes today except for lack of confidence. The rigid demands made of military fliers during the World War have given the ordinary man a feeling of inferiority when he considers flying, Chamberlin says. But he points out that while less than 12 per cent of the war-time candidates for the flying corps ever became pilos, nearly 93 per cent of the applicants who apply for a Federal flying license today are able to qualify physically. Boys Make Best Pilots • “The man who wants to use a plane as he would an automobile —to go somewhere quickly and comfortably—needs no more special physical qualifications than he would need to drive an automobile,” he says. “He ought to be able to see and hear and judge distances, but so should the man behind a Steering wheel. “In these days of congested street traffic it is a question if the man handicapped on any of these scores is not better off in the air than on the ground.” Boys in their teens today have the making of better fliers than adults, Chamberlin has discovered, because they have grown up in an age when flying is more or lesl

commonplace, and so do not regard the airplane as a thing to inspire awe, as do their elders. They learn Vo fly as naturally as their father learned to drive automobiles. “I have taken up youngsters of 12 to 16 who got the hang of flynig within a very few minutes,” he says. “It often takes hours of perspiring and despairing effort on the part of the instructor before an adult acquires the same knowledge.” Planes to eB Common Within ten years, his North American Review article predicts, the small, privately flown plane will be so common that the man who has never flown will be in the, minority. i “Os the 3,590 planes scheduled to be produced in the country this year, fully one-third will be privately owned,” he points out. “There is no question that small planes, capable of making 100 miles an hour, carrying one, two or three persons and selling for from $3,500 to $2,000 and lower will be produced in profitable numbers—and that the American public will buy and fly them.” Huenefeld Flies East Bp United Press BAGDAD, Sept. 21.—Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld passenger in the monoplane Bremen on its flight from Ireland to Greenly Island, left at 6 a. m. today for Bushire and Karachi, continuing his eastern flight.

better known to his aviator friends as “Doc Christmas,” landed at the airport and, after spending some time here, became well acquainted with the fliers and mechanics at the field. About two weeks after he left here one of the airport attendants received a letter from a friend telling him Hay had been killed in an airplane crash, and the sad news was passed around to the other attendants. While several of the attendants were eating lunch Thursday in a stand near the hangars, they were startled to see Ha ywalk in the door. Hay was greatly surprised to hear of his “death.” He landed at the field in a Buhl biplane with one passenger from Toledo .returning later in the day. IT S.

Washington, told the United Press today. “Wars were fought against cities in the middle ages; in Napoleon’s time they came to be fought against armies but now they will be fought against the public opinion of the enemy country—as was proved in the World War,” he said in an exclusive interview. Major Casajus is a passenger on the army bombers’ flight, which expected to reach Dayton from Kansas City today. Four angles of the new war methods of attacking the enemy morale through public opinion were cited by the Spaniard; the bombing of London by Zeppelins; the “Big Bertha” bombardment of Paris; the propaganda attack by Germans, which helped to demoralize the Russian army, and, most important of all, the blockade of Germany which helped complete demoralization of the kaiser’s army. The United States’ four-ton bombing planes, in their 5,000-mile flight, so far have demonstrated their effectiveness to fly long distances, spread death among the civilians and services of supply of the enemy, and return to their base

for more trips of death and destruction, Casajus said. “Such a tremendous yeapon makes peace a necessity,” he added, “for public opinion is the only subsistence —the backbone —of modern armies. Kings no longer pay the soldiers.” He described the bomber as a prolongation of the cannon, more accurate and effective and less expensive than the Big Bertha guns which shelled Paris from a distance of 75 miles at a cost of millions of dollars. Major Casajus expressed the opinion that the 6.000-mile trip of the bombing has “written military history.” He pointed out that the bombing plane was the nucleus of assault upon morale through attacks on civilians and the other

services of supply, such as ammunition dumps and railroad centers The developments of pursuit and attack planes, Se said, were valuable auxiliaries to the work of the bombers. The major paid a tribute to the' American Nation in a comment that this great tactical maneuver of the air corps was based on the theoretical problem of an enemy attack on the United States—not on the theory that the United States was attacking another nation. “It shows what a peace-loving nation this is,” he said. Major Casajus, a former infantry officer, said he was convinced that the next war would be in the air, if at all. London policemen may not chew gum while on duty.
