There is no reason why we should
build thousands OF planes, trying to
initiate the European armies In num-
bers. but our planes must be Of the
most advanced types, with the best
possible engines. It has been found In
Europe that the machinery Is more diff.
ficult to acquire than the skilled avia-
tor. The man Is already built, but It
takes time to build an engine and a
plane.

months, and It is the general opinion
that they, though their corps was only

The Case Of the Submarine.

The British have double the number
of submarines of the Germans. They

to the sea of Marmora In the Baltic

German shipping, and on the Marmora
they have got some Turkish transports.
