AERIAL WARFARE

Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff, United States army, sees great
possibilities In the use of the aeroplane
In warfare In the future. He has
been making an extended tout of In
spection in the west and northwest
Speaking of the plans OF the United
States army in regard to aviation, the
general said:
1--WE plan to develop the aviation
side of the army service to its fullest
extent. l think there are great posi-
bilities in army aviation, and we do not
intend to be backward in studying 1t.
Some persons seem to think that we
are behind other countries in the use
of aeroplanes, but / do not think so.
OF course aviation is comparatively
new in this country. In France, for
instance, there are a great many avi-
ators employed In the army. However,
when the size of the French army is
compared with ours it does not seem
that they have such an unusual num-
Der of fiiers.
TT is not the plan of the United
GldicS army at pAtSthb ~ nav q NNAPs
of aviators. l think it will be better
to have expert fiiers stationed at vari-
Gus points throughout the country. 1t
is my object TO encourage ayiators to
come into the army and to keep about
twenty students in our aviation school
most of the time. These men can be
sent put to various posts whenever
they become qualified ~fliers."
