who is a real estate dealer as well
as a minister, had entertained
other white girls besides Miss

NEED OF ARMY AVATORS
About Sixty Necessary to Keep
Pace With Foreign Ma
tions, 1t Is Said.

What the signal Corps of the Army
needs in order to keep pace with foreign
nations in military aeronautical de-
velopment is about sixty more officers
permanently assigned to the corps, ac-
cording to those best informed. When
that is done it is believed the necessary
machines will be provided. 1t is point
ed out that the machines would be use
less without the necessary aviators, and
would deteriorate through lack of use.
At the present time to even man the
small number of aeroplanes now in the
possession Of the Signal Corps it is
necessary to borrow officers from the
other military arms. About the time
these officers become expert operators
and aerial observers they are returned
to their regiments and get out of prac-
tice in the handling of aeroplanes.
Estimate Considered Conservative.
The estimate for the addition of sixty
officers permanently to the Signal Corps
who could be used in the aeronautical
corps or fifth military arm of the
army is declared to be a conservative
one, and would serve to bring it to an
equality with foreign armies. AS the
other branches of the service need all
the officers they have, it is hard for the
Signal Corps to obtain those required
A short time ago four officers were de-
tached from their organizations for aero
nautical work. but up to the present only
one has reported for duty.
1t is the belief of the Signal Corps offi-
GERS that the resolution recently intro
duced in the House calling upon the Sec
retary of War for much detailed in
formation regarding military aeronautics
indicates the growing interest In that
branch of the military service by Con-
greSS.
