planes at least, are needed for the
United States government service. says
( Gen james Allen. chief signal officer
of the army. IN his annual report
made public tonight

in tho country throughout tho year"
continues Gen. Allen. THEY should be5
present.in camps of,5instructiont for

planes. would provide but two for each
camp of instruction.
To operate this number would re-
quire at least 20 specially learned Of
Ulcers as pilots. In addition to this,
each machine must carry at least one
observer, which, experience has
shown, will require much training and
actual practise before the usefulness
of the heavier than-air machine is at
tanned"
Gen. Allen dcprccatcs the fact that
although the United States was the
first patton officially to recognize the
aeroplanc for military purposes, it has
not kept pace with the world In the
development of military aeronautics,
Summed r. the aero equipment Of
the United States army consists of

one Wright aeroplanc and three small
captive balloons, says the general.
The signal corps has only one lieuten-
ant and nine enlisted men on duty IN

would be Impossible to furnish more
officers and men for the training de-
manded IN airmansip.
