-I anneated to Walsh that we return
by boat He waa seasick and I did not

: "On the way down to Langley I ield
the air was rough and eery bumpy. We

the storm during his return flight said
. Lieutenant Ames piloting the Eagle v an
v considered one of the best pilots in the
air service and that his ship was appar-
ently in good condition.
. We felt no concern for his safety."

before atraightening out on the northerly

expecting that the nig ship would be in
Washington before we were ready to
lea re Langley."
The Eagle left Langley field at about
' 4:30 p. m. Saturday. The time of the
wreck is placed at tt:25 p. m. the hour
at which a watch carried by Mr. Connolly
was found to have stopped. Naval of-
ficers at Indianhead who saw the plane
go down declared that Pilot Ames tried
' to bring hia machine down before the full
s force of the storm struck but that he
' waa prevented from making a landing at
the first attempt by a grcve of trees.
The airship crossed over the trees safely

Centralized Airplane
Control Is Urged
Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON. May 29. Centralised
control of all aerial activities under the
direction of experienced flyers should
be the first step taken to prevent tha in-
definite repetition of such accidents as
the crash of the army Curtiss-Eagle am-
bulance plane near here Saturday ia the
opinion of Brigadier General Mitchell
assistant chief of the army air service.
"It remains for us to seek out the les-
son in this terrible accident that resulted
in such a terrific loss of life. Of coarse
.the risk of death is a thing that the
aviator faces daily. The man who flies
realises that he takes chsnces and be
takes them daily in peace as well as in
war. In this case the loss of life ia all
the more deplorable because the victims
are men whose losses wiirbe keenly felt
not only by the army but by all flying
people We owe it to these dead to do
all we can to remove the risk from flying
and in my opinion centralization aill go
farthest toward doing that."
