Washington. D. c., Sept. 3d.
Military experts in Washington |
and throughout the country are
commenting on the excellent
foresight and judgment of Rep
resentative James Hay. of Wiz
ginla, chairman of the House
Committee on Military Affairs.
as shown in his persistent and
successful fight for the creation
of the new aero squadron in the
United States Army. Dispatches
from Europe bear out the long
contention OF Mr.. Hay that aero
planes are invaluable for scout
ing purposes and for directing
long-range artillery fire.
The aero squadron, which was
authorized by the Hay bill passed
last July, is now being formed,
the ultimate design being to
have in this unit of the military
Iservice sixty officers and approx
inately two hundred enlisted
men.
| When Mr.. Hay began his fight
!some years ago for the encour-
lage:nent and recognition of avi-
Iation in the army, he was met
with opposition from some quar-
tiers in the military service. At
that time, however, he pointed
out :
u am particularly in favor OF
this move because effective work
by aeroplanes will, in the end,
tend to promote world peace.
am certain that aeroplanes can
perform military functions wifi I'll
can not be carried out in any
other way, and, if this is true,
it necessarily follows that they
will be help toward peace, be-
2 cause, when ornaments are suf
ticlently perfected, the nations o.
the world will recognize the fl'
: tility of engaging in struggle.
that wipe out SO many lives ant
destroy so much property"
This prediction, it is pointed
out here, seems to have been {
II good one, for, while no European
y army is ready for war withou
n its aero squadrons, the efficiency
Iof aeroplanes is but another par
lagrapl i'll the argument for linn
lifting the tournaments Of nations.
1t was under Mr.. Hays leader
ship in this session of Congress.
that was appropriated for TIT
purchase of aeroplanes for tn,
use of military aviators. Thi.
was separate bill FROM tina
which he framed creating til,
aero squadron. He advocated
the purchase of new aeroplane.
on such evidence as the follow
ing, from an army officer, which
was given last winter
To-day there are in our whole
army only eleven qualified avia
'tors available for needed service
and at their disposal are seven.
teen aeroplanes, some of which
! are Anticipated and practically
useless"
Hay took the position that i,
was worse than criminal to re.
qulre officers of the army to eX,
pertinent with air craft that was
unsafe. The military aviators
are now operating at San Diego,
Cal, and every effort is being
made to fill up the aut horized
list of officers and enlisted men.
