GEN. LEONARD WOOD
APPROVES PLAN TO

Scout Will Leave Shortly to

Fields Offered.

Gen. Leonard Wood today indorsed the
recommendation of Gen. James Allen,
Of the Signal Corps of the War De-
partment, that the army aviators at
College Park be sent South for the win
ter.
Captain Chandler or Captain Beck
probably will be sent South within the
next few days to visit the different cities
that have requested the Government to
establish the winter headquarters of the
men there.
Regardless Of political influence,
said General Allen today, "the town
that gets the winter headquarters of
the fiiers will win on meritorious
grounds alone. We want to send the
men to the place where they can work
to the best advantage"
The entire stan of officers at the ayia-
tion school will go South. Whether or
not General Allen will split the force
and send two to San Diego. Cal, and
the others to some town in either South
Carolina or Georgia is yet undecided.
In case he should decide to send two of
them to San Diego, Cal, these two will
probably be Capt. Paul Beck and Lieut..
Frank NJ. Kennedy, both Curtiss fiers
II this Is done Captain Chandler and
Lieutenants Arnold, Milling, and Kirt-

However, there Is a chance that all

The reason Admiral Dewey will not

based wholly upon the delicacy of the

In the opinion of the only admiral OF
