out there really WASH anything there The one
surprise is that it ever grew into such sensation
That Mr. Church has been injured perhaps unnecessarily
true But the Recorder would advise against the revenge
crusade credited to him. 1t wouldn't be likely to win and

AERIAL FLEET PLANS
Army and Navy Officers Are
Enthused Over Proposal
of MilIi0naire's Son.
AN AERONAUTICAL RESERVE

Washington, d. c., Sept 24.-John
Barry Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan.
the New. Yory multi-millionaire, spent
today in the War and Navy Depart.
ments -and succe' ded in driving the
officials into state of enthusiasm
over his proposal to provide the Army
and Navy with fleet of airships that
would augment tremendously the Of
fensive and defensive powers of the
twin services.
The attractive feature of Mr.. Ryan's
proposal was its economic side He
did not asg a dollar of government
money in return for the creation of
a reserve of about a thousand aero.
planes that might be called immedi.
ately into service by the government
in time Of need.
What he did want was the moral
support of the two departments in the
creation of the 'aeronautic reserve"
and this was promised him by General
Allen, chief signal officer, who natural
ly looks after aeronautical matters
for the War Department, and by Cap
tain Fletcher. in charge of materials,
who discharges a similar function for
the Navy.
