tional flying machines are built platoons
and companies will be sent out from the
aeronautic centre to serve as starters
for other aero squadrons with various
divisions o. the army in the United
States, Hawaii, the Philippines or the
Panama Canal Zone. In word, Fort
Sam Houston will be the great supply
and framing station for the whole fly
ing service.
Ten hangers are to be provided, ac-
cording to present plans for aeroplanes,
and also machine shops for repair WORT.
The French army uses automobile ma
chine shops, which in the field accom-
pany the flying squadrons and ii seems
altogether likely that before long the
United States will adopt a similar eN
pcdient. There are to he also two re-
volving hangers for dirigible balloons

Notwi' hstanding the repeated disas.
