The Admiral becarac famous for his work as head of the Naval In- telligence Department during the wir. He several times narrowly escaped nussination.

The trip will last four weeks, and

New York, Saturday. The "New York World," in editorial, says that Major Segrave and others have merely succeeded in proving the possibility of drivi jing on a spacial track specially constructed, but this is useless in a car at a pace which it is too dangerous to permit.
