EUR0PE'S ARMIES
 BUY PLIERS
GERMANY IS SOON TO HAVE A BIG FLEET OF AERO-
 PLANES.

LONDON, Nov. 16. The Brit ish war office has decided that Sal isbury Plain shall be the flying ground of the army aeroplane corps Already it has become one of the most important aviation centers in Great Britain, and aeroplanes in every day. The work of training army officers and sappers in the handling of heavier than air ma chimes will be carried out on the great plain near Amesbury, where body of men are now encamped. Eight new aeroplane sheds will be erected, bringing the total of han gars to sixteen.
 The war office department have not yet decided on the type of ma chimes best suited to military pur- poses, and they propose to give each of the successful types an exhaus tive trial. To this end several for eign machines, including a Paulhan biplane, a Farman biplane and two seated Bleriot monoplane, have been ordered from France. English machines will also be acquired. The military authorities already possess three English made aeroplanes.
 The idea of the government is to determine at as small cost as pos sible the best form of machine; but this Is regarded as a policy of false economy. Attention is direct ed to the activity of the German government, which has ordered the early completion of big fleet of aeroplanes. It is understood that forty German monoplanes alone are to be ready to take the air by early spring.
 It is further stated that the Ger man government has placed large or ders with the brothers Wright for racers of their new designs and for their triple passenger touring aeroplanes. Orville Wright is now on his way to Germany to take care of the equipment of the Ger man governments aeroplane fleet.
 The Russian government recently ordered in France twenty-three aero planes of various makes, including Henry Farman, Maurice Farman, Bleriot and Sommer machines. Thir- teen of these have already been de- livered. It is stated that United States Secretary of War Dickinson during his stay in France opened negotiations for the purchase of ten of Henry Farman biplanes.
 General Roques, director of French military aeronautics, yesterday gave large orders for aeroplanes to be de- livered in January. He intends to create a number of aerodromes, two of which will be established in Al geria and AuVergne.
