TWENTY AEROPLANES NEEDED
FOR L. s. GOVERNMENT SERVICE
Should Be in Camp of inttruction for
Regulars and Militia.

Washington, Nov Twenty aero
planes at least are needed for the
United States government service,
says Gen James Allen, chief signal
officer of the army, in his annual re-
port made public tonight.
These aeroplanes should be on reg
ular practice at different points in the
country throughout the year. con-
tinues General Allen.
They should be present in camps
of instruction for regular troops and
organized militia. Twent, areoplanes
would provide but two for each camp
of instruction. To operate this num-
Der would require at least twenty spe-
cially trained officers and pilots. In
addition to this, each machine must
carry at least one observer
General Allen deprecates the fact
that although the United States was
the first nation officially to recognize
the aeroplane for military purposes,
this government has not kept pace
with the world in the development of
military aeronautics.
Summed up, the aero equipment of
the United States army consists of
one small practice dirigible balloon.
one Wright aeroplane, and three small
captive balloons. says the general.
The signal corps has only one leu
tenant and nine enlisted men on duty
in connection with aeronautics, and
the chiefsignal officers says. until the
corps is increased by congressional
legislation. it viii be impossible to
furnish more officers and men for the
absolutely necessary training demand
ed in airmanship.
General, Allen comoats the oft-re-
peated assertion that the United
States, owing to its isolated position,
is not likely to become involved in
war, and that therefore the most eco
nomical procedure in aerial navigation
is to wait until other nations have de-
terrnined upon the types best suited
TO military purposes, thus shifting the
expense of experiment and develop
ment to other nations.
Experienced military airmen can
not be created after war is declared
says General Allen, "and the demands
of this new service undoubtedly will
require higher qualities OF training,
judgment and courage than any other
branc hof the military service"
General Allen recommends appro-
pirate legislative action looking to def
mite federal control of wireless teleg-
raphy and telephony.
