HE ueroplnno'u career ua a savior of
Uvea In large number began aa early
hh 1911, In tlio very war In which
It first demonstrated Uh potentiali
ty nB an liiHtrunient of war, and
tlie result shows that Its poten
tiality wna greater as an Instru
ment of ponce a Ufa snvor.
Those who followed tho devclop-
Itallan-TurltlHh war will romcinbor
how ut the very start of tho campaign, before the
first engagement took pluco, tho newly landed
Italians wero saved from an unpleasant surprlso
by the aerial scouts, who observed three advanc
ing columns of Turks and Arabs of about 6,000
men. The Italians, uftcr receiving this Informa
tion, could successfully calculate distances and ar
range for their defenso.
On tho following day, October 111, tho battlo of
Bclara-Sclat took place, resulting in tho loss to
tho Turkish nrmy of 3,000 man. Ilurlng tho bat
tlo two aeroplanes wero circling tho air. Tho
flights took place above the line of flro, so as to
bo able to direct tho firing of tho big guns from
tho battleship Carlo Alberto and also of tho moun
tain artillery. Tho aeroplanes wero ofton shot
nt by tho guns of tho enemy, but with no results.
Tho Jludlng of tho enemy was an iulluentlal event.
Tho situation nt tho time was such that without
that discovery the Italians would havo mot with
n defeat which might have affected the wholo
campaign. Thus two men and two old, half worn
ueroplancs saved a defeat which might have In
volved tho loss of thousands of lives as was the
case In tho Erlthrea campaign at a cost of pos
sibly only a few dollars, the price of gasolene and
oil.
Later in tho campaign the aerpplano bocamo a
Torltable odvanco agent of peace, being used by
the Italian officers to drop manifestoes ovor tho
encampment telling tho natives of tho Italians' In
tentions. This Is a very Important matter, bo
cause, as shown by Franco's long campaign in
Algeria and Morocco, most of tho trouble in colon
ies Is duo to tho natives misunderstanding tho
purposos of tho Invaders, who novcr havo u
chance to explain their Intentions.
Again In tho Balkan war tho aoropluuo was a
messenger of peace.
Perhaps tho greatest surprise of the llnlkan
war was that Adrlnnople, the Gibraltar of tho Hal
kanB, which tho Turks wero supposed to defend
to tho last breath of life, was captured with llttlo
loss of llfo by n comparatively small force. Tho
aeroplano oven tho old type' clumsy machines,
manned by untrnlnodiillots, used by tho Hulgnr
lans deserves tho greatest credit for tho saving
of life and tnonoy.
Tho Bulgarian air scouts, though untrained In
military matters and poorly equipped mechanic
ally' wont out ovor tho boslcged city nnd brought
to their commanders Information which enabled
them to attack tho weakest Bpots. Then others
messengers of peace, whom humanity should
rorognlzo now that thoy hnvo saved thousands of
lives In both tho Trlpolltanlan nnd llalkan wars
soared over tho city nnd dropped messages to tho
besieged, which If not of peace, mado for peaco.
An admlrablo feat In saving tho lives of COO
French soldiers Is credited to a slnglo aeroplano
of the French Morocco squadron. In December,
1912, a column of 000 French troops hod boon sup
rounded by rebels to tho south of Mogudor and
for Jlvo days somo anxiety was felt for their safo
ty. Then Lloutennnt Do-Hu, In his Dlerlot mono
plane, wns nble to convoy Information to tho com
munder that reinforcements wero closo at hand,
nnd, encouinged, they renewed tholr dofonco,
while tho rebels, seeing ominous signs in tho ar
rival of tho aoroplane, retreated.
Ltfo saving In tlnio of peaco, whllo It has not
attained more than u fraction of tho number of
lives saved In war, Is, porlmps, moro Interesting
to most peoplo than tho latter, being closer to
dally needs and experiences of tho general public.
It Is, therefore, gratifying to find that the water
aeroplane, tho hydroaeroplane nnd the flying boat
seem destined to tmvo life.
Tho hydro auroplauo begun Us career as a life
saver In 1911, while still In tho experimental
period. It was during tho famous Chicago meet
an aviator lost control while flying over Lake
Michigan and foil Into tho water. Three-quarters
of a mllo away there wns a hydro-aeroplano, tho
curly Curtis model tho prototype of the flying
bout circling around and occasionally settling on
the surfneo of the water like a big seagull. Tho
pilot of this craft, seeing tho aviator's fall, wont
to the rescue. Fylng ata mile a mlnuto speed,
ho reached the spot, landed on tho water by the
submerged aeroplane and offered to take tho
aviator to land all In less than ono minute! .
Some months later, on March 6, 1912, tvo avia
tors fell In San Diego buy while flying and tholr
machine capsized. An aviator on tho shore saw
the accident, jumped on his hydro with his
mechanic and How to he rescue, lauding u mln
uttf later by tho "shipwrecked" two.
Tho first demonstration of actually rescuing a
person not connected with aviation wns glvon on
October 10, 1912, by Charles Wald, instructor In
tho Wright school of water flying, at tho Olouwood
Country club. A ninn named Walter Strohbach
fell Into tho harbor from a rowboat in which lio
was seeking diversion with a friend. Tho row
boat was half a mllo off tho shore nt Seu Cliff and
fully a mllo from tho Glenwood Country club,
when, miscalculating his position, Mr. Strohbuch
nttempted to sit further on the stern of tho boat,
with tho result that ho foil overboard. Although
his frlond tried to reach his cdmpanlnu, n strong
current carried thoni apart. ShouU along the
shoro told of tho plight of tho young man, who
wns exhausted In tho chilly water. Mr. Charles
Wnld, learning of tho occuireuco whllo at the
hangar preparing to make a flight, Jumped iuto
his machtno nnd flow to tho man In tho water,
who could bo seen from the club station.
Alighting In tho hydro-aeroplano on tho water
near Strohbuch, tho avlntor first throw a llfo pre
server to tho young man, who was scarcely able
to keep afloat, then, bringing tho machine along
side, managed to get hltn aboard oue-of tho floats
of tho biplane and brought him snfoly to tho
Wright station.
Uouts leaving tho shore did not reach tho
sceno of the accident until tho hydro-aoroplane
was well on Its way to shore with tho rescued.
Mr. Glenn II. Curtlhs, tho dean of water llyors
and creator of both tho hydroaoioplano and flying
boat, wns tho hero of a llfe-Bavhig net last Juno,
rescuing two occupants of n broken down motor
boat with the big four-passonger flying boat of Mr.
Harold F. McCormlck. Mr. Curtiss and Mr. C. C.
Wltmer wero flying over Luko Keuka In tho boat
to test It and wero running for homo ahead of a
coming thunder showor whon, a mllo from Miore,
they noticed a motor bout in which two men
were waving wildly.
Curtlss brought (ho flying boat to tho wnter and
stopped neor tho motor boat. Tho men said their
motor was broken and they wanted some ono sent
out to row them ashoro. Mr. Wltmer crawled out
on tho tall of tho flying boat and look a ropo from
tho motor boat, which ho hold whllo Curtlss drovo
tho flying boat a mllo to tho Bhore.
Tho motor boat was loft thoro and, taking tho
men aboard, Mr, Curtlss flow back to Hammonds,
port.
Tho nlrboat and hydro-ioroplnno may bo buUI
to bo tho logical adjunct of llfo-savlng stations
and, thercforo, absolutely nocossary. As an es
sontlnl purpose of a llfo-savlng station Is to re
lievo wrecks and savo pooplo from drowning,
speed In doing It Is tho essence of ofllcloncy, The
noroplnno tho wator kind Is revolutionary In
this respect. It can fly to tho spot whoro rellof
is needed ut tho rato of a ratio a mlnuto, and the
alman who sees ovory dotall of what goos on be
low can either land by tho object or rescue or Juat
jAysarzoi D?otmya' YAJtm?o
drop llfo belts, ropes, food, medicine or stimulants
uccordlng to tho urgency of tho needs.
With nil the navies working to develop means
for launching neroplaues from battleships and
receiving them buck, It Is safo to say that tho
problems connected thorewith will be solved very
soon Then liners will carry aeroplanes to use for
can log dispatches n,nd for general pilot duties
Just as tho water ucropluno is a wonderful aux
iliary of the navy, It Is a wonderful auxiliary for
ocean liners, promising to afford to passenger
carrying ships services of tho highest kind.
The wnter aeroplano is wonderfully adapted for
preventing disasters of the kind which overcame
tho steamship Titanic, nnd, In case such disasters
take place, minimize tho loss of life. A flying
bout on a steamer can rise to Investigate unseen
dungers ahead, it can do so at night as well as by
using tho ship's searchlights as the aeroplane's
searchlights. In case of the vessel becoming dis
abled tho aoroplano can fly to notify other vessels,
utilizing tho wireless apparatus, with which every
flying boat is being equipped in tho foreign na
vies, to notify tho other steamships of the need or
of Its aproach.
The most appalling thing In the Titanic disaster
was that there wero a number of steamships with
in call dlstanco somo not as much as 40 miles
awuy which tho wireless telegraph did not reach
in somo casos because it became disabled as tho
ship sank. A flying boat could havo covered tho
40 mlleB In less than an hour, whllo Its wlroleBs
plant would have notified tho oilier vessels us It
proceeded onwurd
A flying boat on the vessels that cume to the
rescue after tho Titanic had sunk could haVo
seaichod tho surface of tho son for survivors, Its
altitude giving It a rungo of vision of miles, nnd
could havo found tho survivors where tho vessels
did not aeo thorn. It would thus practically have
superintended tho work or llfo saving.
Kuch year there is a long list of peoplo who aro
drowned from falling overboard from largo vessels
and who cannot bo rescued In time to savo their
lives, the boat sent to save them reaching thorn
too Into to be of avail. A flying boat can be
launched nnd can search for tbo person that has
fallen overboard nnd can drop n safety bolt or land
by and pick him up much faster than tho fastest
lite saving boat.
Tho sea Is an unknown quantity In many re
spects, nnd tho biggest of steamships Is very
much at its mercy, and assistance of tho kind
which tho flying boat affords Is a necessity. A vos
sol at aea often meets signs of wrecks or It Is
signalled by craft In distress. At tho present time
there la no way to Investigate such thlngB without
Involving a great dolny or putting tho craft ltsolf
In danger through taking it out of Its marked
routo, which Is tho safoty zone. A flying boat can
do all theso things for tho vessel, It can bo launch
od with two men, ono of whom Bearches tho sur
face of thet sea with powerful glasses. Tho ves
sel can proceed on Its course; tho flying boat will
ovorlnko it aftor having discharged Us mission.
As oven a special machine and tho equipment
cannot cost moro than $10,000, It Is ovldent that
it Is nn absurdly cheap factor of efficiency which
ovory craft can afford and should havo.
TRUSTING IN RICHES AND TRUST
INO IN GOD.
LESSON TEXT-Luke 12:1H4.
QOLUEN TEXT-"Whcre your treasure
la, there will be your heart aUo." Luke
12:34.
The section before us has a very
logical progression from tho Introduc
tory request to" the words of Jesui
which constitute the golden text.
Jesus Is still In the midst of nil
Porcan ministry. This lesson oc
curred but a few months before the
crucifixion.
1. The lesson vv. 13-15. "One oul
of the multitude" desired to bolster
his claim to a portion of an inheri
tance. He wns sure that his brother
needed admonition from Jesus, the
result of which would accruo to his
advnntngo. Jesus made a sharp, quick
reply. Ho had been teaching about
the sin of covotousnesB, but by bis
answer ho Intimates that his mission
was not to judge men of that or any
other sin. His work nB a Judge was
to come lator, John 5:19-32. There
aro thousands who for tho prospoct of
personal gain would strictly enforce
tho ethical principles of tho gospel
though at the same tlmo they are not
willing themselves to abide there
under. Covetousness is a deslro to
secure more and it is not confined
to tho rich nor to tho poor. There
fore Jesus sounds a warning, "take
heed" (v. 15) e. g., beware. This itch
ing is so gradual and often begins
with a desire to possess things that
aro good of themselves and frequent
ly good for him that has possession.
But ob it creeps in wo find it becom
ing a great Bin. A desire to build up
a church, or even to compass the sal
vation of a loved one, may bo ani
mated by a selfish, covetous motive,
see I Cor. 5:10, 11; 6:10, and Eph.
5:3, 5. A man's life consists not of
the things possessed and the desire
to get should be lost in the desire to
be for the glory of Ood.
Lighten Other's Burdens.
II. The Illustration, vv. 16-21. This
warning of Jesus against wrong sense
valuations and bis suggestion as to
the true source of life, are empha
sized by his illustration from life. All
material values come from the earth.
Mine, forest and field are the sources
of all wealth. But in this illustration
the ground yielded "plentifully." He
took great counsel with himself. In
thcBo three versos nre twelve personal
pronouns. Prosperity Is heaped upon
prosperity, yet his enterprises were
lawful and legitimate for thero is no
suggestion of wrong methods. The
trouble was that in his self-centered
prldo he saw only tho gratification of
his material appetites. Any human
activity, even tho highest, may be
come grossly self-centered. His plans
of enlargement were wlso in the sight
of men, but ho left God out of his cal
culations, and this is the common mis
take worldly men are making, Jos.
4:13-15. Ills anxiety, a characteris
tic of thc-so who trust In riches, was
uncalled for, nnd the folly of that
course was revealed in a flash when
he was called Into the presence of
Gpd: "The things which thou hast
prepared, whose shall they beT"
Jesus reveals tho worthlesBnesa of
-such motives, the uselessness of such
anxiety, and its unworthlness in view
'of what God la in himself, vr. 20, 21.
He who can array the lily and clotbo
the grass of the Held. The place to
lay up goods is not in barns, Mark
10:21; the right way to be merry
Is to lighten the burden of another,
and the way to satisfy the soul Is
not to pamper the body. Read John
4:13, 14; John 7:37-39; I. Tim. 6:6;
Jas. 6:5; Rev. 18:
True Way of Life.
III. The application, vv. 22-34.'
Jesus then proceeds to .sot before bis
disciples tho true way of llfo from
the positive side, just as In the illus
tration he had set before them tho
negative side. Thoso who aro living
in right relationships with God are
not to seek satisfaction in tbo things
of tlmo nnd senso, those thlngB of
which tholr father knows they have
need, and which ho will supply, Phil.
4:19. Thoy are, however, to seek
his kingdom and to rest in confidence
in tho knowlcdgo that it is his pleas
uro to glvo to tbom that kingdom
(v. 32). Tho way to got la to give,
Prov. 11:24, 25, ThiB is laying up
treasure in heaven. Every man is the
judge of his own acts. If thoy bo ac
cording to divine standards, his de
cision is wlso, if not, the Bible char
acterizes that man as a fool. It is
our sonso of values which determines
our wisdom.
IV. The teaching. Jesus does not
begin in his dealings with the sub
jects of bis kingdom by making com
pulsory division of their possessions.
In this losson we can Bee the false
J and the truo method by which to
establish right uoclal conditions.
This man's Idea was to "divide";
Christ's idea 1b expressed in tho
words, "sell and glvo nlms." The pas
sion of this man was to possess, tho
passion of Christ was to glvo, Matt.
20:28. In tho mind of Christ, jife
does not consist of JJio things pos
sessed, John C:27. Things havo a
value only aa life la strong.
