EnQilsh War AeropJanes.

After long deliberation and much ex'
peFimenting, England has finally ao
knowledged the necessity of the aero
plane in modern warfare, and has
placed its seal'of approval therein with
an initial order for sixty machines.
This number will be increased to ore
hundred just as soon as a suffi cient
number of sky pilots can be trained
to navigate them. To fully appreci
ate the Importance which this arm OF
the service has already attained, one
must note the appropriations for the
current year by the three great Con-
tlnental powers. France will spend
S6,25O,O0O, sum sufficient to build a
very fair warship; Germany, $780,.
600, and Britain. $1.5OO,000 The to-
tai for three countries is s11,250,000
