URGES MORE PLANES
FOR AMERICAN ARMY
Presidentof Aero Club Asks Gar
rison Not to Overlook Aero
nautiCs.

a letter earnestly recommending that
acronautics should not be overlooked
in the plans for national defense has
been written to Secretary Garrison by
Alan II. Hawley. Of New York, presi-
aent Of the Aero Club of America.
Mr.. Hawley says he Is informed the
present defense plans call for only four
aviation squadrons. which he deems ut
terly Inadequate. HIS asks Secretary
acroplanes we may expect to have in
lhe army by June 80. 1917
In his letter Mr.. Hawley says
In the light Of the recent develop
ments which have conclusively demon
strated the need of aeroplanes In con-
nection with the different branches Of
the service. the provision for only four
squadrons Is utterly inadequate-unless
the provision for aeroplanes for the
militia Is sufficient to offset the de-
1icicncy in the army.
In these days. when nations pro-
vide their armies with thousands Of
acroplanes: when the example OF Rus
sia's losses because of the lack Of suf-
hcient air service; and inability Of the
English air service (Which numbers
thousands of aeroplsnes) to protect
london against hostile aircraft, show
the tremendous Importance of an ade-
%rate air feet, the people Of this coun-
Wy cannot help feeling alarmed at the
Aossibility of there being insufficient
provision for our air service
Those interested In the development
OF military aeronautics have noticed with
considerable concern that the last Con-
gress did not realize that aeroplanes
should be considered as consumma-
bIes," requiring continuous overhauling
and replacing, therefore necessitatin
an elastic and substantial budget to
provide for the upkeep of the aviat ation
corps. Instead of considering aero
tn1p .rnr ~ Los, 90,
considered them as 'fxtures,' and
failed to provide the necessary means
for the general expenses connected
with the upkeep. and for replacing
aeroplanes which wore out or had to
be put out OF commission on account of
breakages and other reasons. As n re-
suit. we have less than ten aeroplanes
in commission in the army"
