IMMENSE sun TO BE
SPENT FOR FRENCH AIRCRAFT

PARIS. oct. 3.-Credits amounting
to $2,72O.OOO for the development OF
Frances military air-aervice will be
demanded Of the Chamber of Deputies
when the fall session begins next
month. OF this sum s1,600,O00 will be
spent during 1914. This was the plan
announced today by the Poincare ad-
ministration.
Recent developments in the art OF
flying demonstrating that aviators are
comparatively safe in a veritable cy,
clone have encouraged the French
war office in its old belief that aero.
planes are better than the unwieldly
dirgibles such as the Germans use
and it is whispered in political circles
that not only will the demanded cred
its pass the house but that sums ad-
ditional may be given.

had heard the other side of the story
from the stockmen.
