BY the states waking up to the fact that
the aeroplane is bound to be a powerful

do so.
"In every state in the Union we want
TO organize a signal corps company or de

have two signal corps companies. and
there should be Q number of aeroplaues to

Of the aeroplane for scouting purposes are
so great there is no question in my mind
that all armies in the future Will be com
PEELED to make use of 1t.
up to the present We have made little
progress in organizing signal corps com
