BRITISH ARMY CLAIMS
THE BEST AER0PLANE
Colonel Seely Says Problem of
, Flying Fast and Slow Is Solved
Washington Skeptical.

London, March 19.-The British army
possesses the best aeroplane in the
world and has perfected a type Of fly
ing machine far superior 10 any IN the
possession Of other nations, according
to Colonel John Seely. Secretary o.
State for War, who caused a sensation
by making this announcement in the
House of Commons when introducing
the army estimates to-day.
For British purposes, Colonel Seeiy
said the great problem had been TO
secure an aeroplane that could fly both
slow and fast. The British army now
had machines that had beaten eighty
miles an hour, and which also were
able 20 reduce their speed 20 forty
miles an hour. An amy biplane yes
terday had passed all the tests AZ an
average speed of 9lIa miles an hour.
Colonel Seely said the British army
would have AS aeroplanes by next
May. He claimed that Great Britain
had deliberately rejected large airships
as being useless for her purposes. Tile
War Department was deyoting rs at
tention 10 small dirigibles which could
be packed up and sent abroad with ex-
peditionary forces.
The Secretary for War said that the
mechanical problem OF repeliing a.
tacks on aircraft had been solved by
experiments carried out by the army
service.
