.AEROS NOT WAR \
CRAFT, says BRYAN
Secretary Of State So Rules,
Notifying Germany They Are
Not Contraband.

Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador. today communicated to
his government the refusal OF the
State Department to interfere with the
expectation to Great Britain Of hydro
aeroplanes, on the ground that such
craft cannot be considered "Vessels
of war"
As an added reason for declining to
interfere in shipments OF this char.
acter, Secretary Of State Bryan points
out that "airships and flying ma.
chimes" are listed by Germany az
conditional and not as absolute con
traband. and that no question OF neu'
trail duty arises in the matter OF con
ditional contraband.
Answering Ambassador van Bern
stroffs statement that "hydroaero.
planes must be regarded a. war YES.

states by neutrals should be stopped
Secretary Bryan said:
The fact that hydroaeroplane u
htted with apparatus to rise from and
alight upon the sea does not, In my
opinion, give II the character OF 9
vessel any more than the wheels at

the latter the character OF land We

GOVERNMENT MAY
MAKE ARMOR PLATE
AND PROJECTILES
Secretary Of Navy Says Gov
ernInent Owned Plant Is
Most Economical

Raleigh, n. c., Oct. pa big gov.
ernment armor plate plant and proiectile
factory is proposed for the navy's de-
fense program this year, Secretary of
the Navy Daniels said yesterday at the
state fair. This will be the keynote of
the administration s military prepared
ness policy.
He urged too, the government ship
purchase bill TO provide naval auxiliar-
les, in addition to the extension of gov
ernment manufacture of munitions.
His statement was the first official
word that the armor plate and pro-
ieetile proposal is included in his esti-
mates. He declared that under the in
creased price the government has paid
for its plate and proJectiles, it could
have the proposed factory several times
over.
"The navy" he said, "with a mod
ern plant can manufacture plate for
from $3.50 to $3.50 against non-com-
petitive price of $425 to $4S6 charged
in our last contract"
Concerning the necessity for defense,
he said:
"The great losses of the European
war relate to preparedness rather than
to strategy. Some of the belligerents
thought themselves adequately pre-
pared, but found they were sadly mis-
taken. Such lessons will awaken our
people to new interest in defense. 4"
