the number of aeroplanes in use for
military purposes, friends of the flying
game in the United States are busy
planning a tentative bill calling for
So 100000 appropriation for the ad-
vancement of aviation by the army
and navy.
A bill is now being prepared call
ing upon congress to authorize this
amount, in order to put the United
States to the front in this new arm or
defense and offense. 1t is understood
the bill will be introduced into the
house of representatives, possibly by
Representative William G.. Sharp Of
Ohio, WHO is known to the flying men
in this countryeas "the champion OF
the cause" in the house.
1t will be pointed out that this great
appropriation really would give this
country the prestige enjoyed by the
larger nations of Europe in this new
field. Including the aeroplanes and
hylroplanes of both the army and the
the navy, the United States today can
muster but twenty-five machines.
France has almost 1000, while Eng
land aid Germany have several hun
dred each.
The war department will be asked
to detail a sufficient number of men
to operate the large number of ma
chimes which would be bought under
the appropriation.
The men who are interested in the
new bill represent the aeronautical
societies, manufacturers of American
made aeroplanes, army officers and

so this season, since President-elect
Wilson has intimated the receptions
would be abandoned during his admin

obtain invitations which, since the top
heavy lists were cut down, have been
scarcer than ever before.
