Navy Investigates Usefulness
of NC Planes From Results
of Recent Overseas !
Flight.
Washington, June 14. Flying
(hips instead of flying boats will be
the logical evolution of navy sea
, planes, navy experts believe, as a
v result of the first air trio across
the Atlantic. First impressions of
the lessons taught by that trip had
already taken definite shape in the
j- t u ii t
Junius ui me men who conceivea
and created the NC machines before
Lieut-Corn. A. C. ; Read had ma
noeuvered the NC-4 to a safe moor-
ing at Plymouth, England.
juuugcijr cuuugii, u was 10 inc
experience of the NC-1, lost off the
Azores, and the NC-3, battered out
of usefulness by heavy seas before
she made port at Ponta Delgada,
that the inventive genius of the
department turned for inspiration;
not to the NC-4 that battled her
way triumphantly through the his
toric, journey. ,, ,.; ;
As far as they have yet gone and
lacking detailed reports and com
ments from the 17 men who set out
from Rockaway on the great adven
ture, the experts apparently have
reached certain definite preliminary
conclusions to guide them in future
seaplane designing. They are con
vinced that to play .its full part in
naval strategy, the seaplane must be
come as independent a unit as a
modern submarine or destroyer, It
must be able to keep the seas in
heavy weather,' siding it out on the
surface. -v. It nittst be able to lift
itself into air or to olane "rfown.to a
safe landing even when tall seas are
running and it- must provide for its
crew's safety, shelter and reasonable
comfort under- very adverse circum
stances for the ; efficieirrv of the
plane depends upon the efficiency of
its men.
More Efficient Wireless.
Also, to? fulfill its function as
scout, this plane of the future must
Se able to communicate at all times
hv radio. .When the NC-3 win
forced down west of the Azores with
Com. John H. Towers, flight com
, mander aboard, she became dumb.
As a scouting unit her value to a
fleet was lost from that moment.
Wheatever her commander might
have learned of vital importance to
the fleet could not have been trans-
mitted. r' r '.-.. .. ,:
The answer to alt of .these re
quirements in the minds of the ex
perts spells larger craft; veritable
'. f lyjng ships." The ; vision toward
which the designers are looking is
that pf flotillas of seaplanes, re
lying wholly upon their own power
for transportation on the surface
or in the air and operating from
swift "mother ships" as submarines
and destroyers now 4 operate. ;
These conclusions will be written
into new designs gradually. As bat
tleships, have developed from 11.000
ton predreadnaughts to Jthe 43,000
ton; monsters for which the navy
is now contracting, so naval offi-
.cers say, seaplane evolution .iwill
come type by type and year by
year, each advance being based 'on
results r obtained with " preceding
types. : This is the' program laid
. out by the Navy department as the
ha.! for the reauest recently made
to congress by Secretary Daniels
for $45,000,000 for aviation develop
ment in the next fiscal year. .
Power Development Lacking. :-
Naval experts point out that in
both seaplane and dirigible develop
ment, one of the most important
elements to be considered, is that
of getting efficient power. The Lib
erty motors have proved highly sat
isfactory so far as endurance goes
means have' yet been evolved to cet
full "benefit of their power. The
problem is the same as : that en
tountered with steam turbines in
surface cralt ine tmcieni engine.
i speed of any gasoline - motor now
known is too high for efficient pro
rv.ll.- - CnnneetrA direct to
the engine shafts, the propellers re
volve so rapidly that the length and
pitch of the blades cannot be set
so as to obtain all of the lifting
; power the engine could furnish.
The naw has been working for
-months with l reduction gear sys
Mem to go between the engine and
( the propeller. A similar device has
' permitted destroyers to use turbine
l engines, but it has found a difficult
f task to design a lightweight redac-
lion gear or oiner aircraiu onoma
this device be worked out, the NC
seaplanes could be made much more
efficient and their cruising radius be
greatly increased. '-Vxl'.. ?.:,:.'.rc jn-t
As to the sea-keep?ng qualities of
the NC planes, the experience of the
NC-1 and NC-3 indicate to experts
that some war must be found to get
the plane surfaces higher out of the
water.; This would save them from
battering into the tea, when riding
to surface.; "" " - -."-
Famous New York Criminal
Now Proclaimed War Hero
Monk Eastman All Around Yegg and One-Time Gang
Leader of . Bowery District, Wins New Soul As
Fighting Man Machine Gun Is His Specialty.
Camp Upton,, N. Y., June 14. It
is a long trail from the saloons of
Christie street, in New York City,
to the front line in France, and in
traveling it a man's soul may un
dergo a strange transformation.
The rattle of the gang fighter's au
tomatic is only the faintest echo of
the roar of battle, but one man
who has stood up under the. first
carries in his heart something that
made him endure the greater ordeal.
."Monk" Eastman has come back.
physically and morally. Chieftain
of one of the toughest gangs in the
history of New York City, owner of
a dbzen aliases, gunman, robber and
opium smoker, arrested scores of
times, imprisoned thrice, Eastman is
now a private in the 106th infantry.
Xhat is the physical part of the
comeback. Col. Frank . Ward of
the 106th; Mai. Scott Button. Cant:
James G. Conroy, Lieut. Joseph A.
Kerrigan and hundreds of the men
who fought beside Eastman - have
signed a petition, soon to be pre
sented to Governor Smith,, asking,
that Private William Delaney of the
luoth intantry, formerly Monk East
man, gang leader, be restored to
citizenship.
; Dance Hall Bouncer. .
For the spirit that brought East
man up from a bouncer in a dance
hall to the command of the tough
est gang or 'gorillas' that ever
swaggered along the Bowery kept
him in the forefront of the battle
in France. Crouched in a dugout
while the barrage thundered above.
or creeping forward under machine
gun fire, Eastman was always cool
and courageous. , .
Behind the lines, out of the stim
ulus of battle, his officers say he
was also a good srtdier. The man
who had ruled hu own gang of a
thousand or more trur men and tliucj
with an Iron hand saomitted quick
ly enough to the discipline of the
army. The hero of a dozen Bull
fights with the Paul Kelly gang
proved the stuff of which he was
made in the greatest gun fight of all
time.j
Machine guns were his special de
light, his officers say. Private De
laney, bomb in hand, crept forward
and demolished them with even
more enthusiasm than he displayed
in earlier years in wrecking a poll
ing place in an anti-lammany dis
trict
Once while working his way for
ward to bomb out an especially an
noying nest the German gunners
caught sight of him. They rould not
depress their gun sufficiently to hit
h'tn. and Monk crawled forward on
his stomach and blew them up with
Mills bomb. In the process the
hail of lead that swept over him
shredded away the heavy inarching
order pack he carried on his back.
Bullets are an old story to Monk.
Time, Was when he laughed at the
soldiers trade, displaying the in
numerable scars stamped on his
body by lead and steel and boasting
'.hat he had acquired them in "the
battle of New Yorki'i He led his
gang in many a shooting affray
p gainst the Paul Kelly's. In one of
these, fought on Rivington street in
1903, more than 50 gunmen were en
gaged. His longest "stretch" in
prison was five years, served in Sing
Sing for a duel which he fought
with policemen on Forty-second
street, near Broadway.
Something besides scorn of the
lead that whistled past marked the
demeanor of Monk Eastman on the
battlefield, and the story that Major
Larsen, the regimental surgeon, tells
is proof of this. -r f . ; r -
. Eastman's company had been hold
ing an unpleasantly hot part of the
line. They had lost heavily before
ihey retired to make way for an
other company. Eastman aws
reluctant to leave. He approached
Major Larsen and asked permission
lo remain with the relieving com
mand as stretcher bearer. All
through the time that men of his
company were resting Eastman
served in the front lins . trench,
carrying back wounded men to the
dressing, stations. .. " '...
: From the beginnig of his career,
which has been written piecemeal
on the police plotters of the East
Side, Eastman (or Delaney) or
whatever - name is really his, has
been a fighter. "He first figured in
East Side gang society as a profes
sional bouncer, and became so adept
in his , trade that he rose rapidly to
the command of a gang. --F rom 1901
to 1904 the Monk; Eastmans were a
name to reckon with in lower Man
hattan. j - -
From his v. dquarters in Christie
street Eastman sent out orders ta
his henchmen, which resulted time
and again in collisions with the Paul
Kelly gang, which5 ruled 'the five
points. . ,. ,;; " " '
Several times Monk was so badly
wounded fn these brawls that he was
obliged to lay up in a.hospitaU He
never accused anyone of responsi
bility for his wounds, and contented
himself with saying that he'd "gel
even" later. The presumpton is that
ht always did.
In 1904 Eastman was sentenced to
ten years for his gunfight with the
police. He was wardoned in 1909,
was sentenced to eight months in
1912 for opium smoking ; and two
years 11 months in 1916 for robbery, j

cided to hold their national shows in
New York, January 3 to 19, and
Chicago, January 24 to 31, for both

of the' year previous to the shows
as has been the usual custom.
There was a highly important re
port on, foreign conditions made by
C; Cr Hanch, secretary of the
organization, who has just returned
from a 3J4 months -r trip , abroad,
showing the possibilities of the
motor tar trade in Europe, where
the motor car, because of its ser-j
vice in the war is more highly ap
preciated than, ever before. Cars
over there are in great .demand,
second-hand cars selling at double

Mr. Hanch expressed high re
gard for the manner in . which
English, French and Itajian manu
facturers are getting back'to normal,
and feels that prewar conditions
ran be helped best by a return to
regular business conditions of buy
ing'and selling. - I . v '.;,' -:
Carload shipments of automobiles
from the factories for May will show
more than 24,000 carloads, compared
with 17,833 carloads, in May,-1918,

tion is on the increase to meet the
demand caused by the shortage of
cars last year when the industry

less than the ' original programs
called for. 1 For the year ; ending
April 30, carload shipments were
189,429, compared with 224,805 car
loads' in the previous year..
There was a broad discussion of
general conditions affecting the in
dustry; including the progressive
work of the government in highway
matters, the increasing amount of
unfair legislation and taxation
against the 6,000,000 owners pf au
tomobiles. . : Motor fuel and patent
matters also received attention.

United States; Jumps from
9th to 2nd in World's Shipping
Remarkable Advance Made By This Country In Face
of Loss of Two-thirds of Total Pre-war Tonnage,
. Figures Show. ; . ' .
(By Universal Service.)
New York, June 14. Many sur
prising changes in the alignment of
the world's shipping vliavt been
brought about by the war. Most re
markable of these is the advance of
the United States from ninth to
second place 'with quadrupled ton
nage, although this nation lost near
ly twd-thirds of its ' total pre-war
tonnage through the inroads of Ger
man mines and U-boats.
These changes are shown by
Henry C Wiltbank in an article on
"World shipping in the melting
pot," in the current issue of the
Rudder. The writer shows that the
United States starting with a pre
war tonnage of 1,076,000 gross tons
of steam ocean going shipping, over
came losses of almost two-thirds of
this total during the. war, passed It
aly; Hollard,) the British colonies,
Japan, France, Norway and Ger
many in. the order named and in
creased it holdings to 4,476,000
tons, which is 11 per cent of the
world's trade fleet as against hold
ings'of only 24 per cent at the be
ginning of the war.
Only four out of 28 maritime na
tions have maintained their pre-war
rank in tonnage holdings, according
to Mr. ; Wiltbank's tabulations.
These are Great Britain, at the top
of the list, Sweden, in the 11th place,
China 23rd and Siam 28th. The line

1 Incidentally the article presents
figures to show that the U-boat lias
been greatly overrated 'as an instru
ment of destruction. An analysis of
losses shows that German mines de
trcyed a considerably larger amount
of tonnage than Von Tirpitz'a pets.
The total losses are put at 15,136,000
tons. Of this amount mines are
credited with 6,377,000 tons and U
boats, 5,739,000 tons. The remainder
is laid to marine risks, raiders, seiz
ures and other causes. . The losses
suffered by this nation, approxi
mately, 700,000 tons, were : almost
evenly divided between war and ma
rine risks. -
The number of ships lost by neu
tral and allied nations during' the
war is placed at about 7,000. , The
monetary losses including values of
ships and cargoes, lost :: earning
power, lives insured and ships and
cargoes damaged, but not sunk, is
rlaced at $7,775,000. Of this totai
f3,266.000,000 is charged, to mines
at;d $2,954,000,000 to U-boats. :
Although Germany boasted y of
tremendous additions to its gross
tonnage through seizures, the article
shows that the allied and neutral
powers gained far - more from this
course than did the Teutons. The

London, June ,14. Greatly dis:'

a new problem. This time it's Mor-' .
monism, and writers, lecturers and'
"defenders of the public morals"
profess to be perturbed over the in-"
roads Brigham Young's religion is
making here. They are fearful for
the morals of the young men and '

pastors of the Mormon church.
They declare that a marked re
vival of the Latter Day Saints' be- .
lief is on foot in Britain and that '
the proselyting elder is very much f
alive to the opportunity thus cre-
ated. The scarcity of husbands,
due to the late war, is evident to the '
missionaries and they are wasting "
no time replenishing the Utah '
households with beautiful English " '
maidens who. it is said, are willing
to "believe the old story that polig

Unquestionably there are a great
