MACHINES TRAVEL
 l60 MILES AN HOUR
American AeronaQtical Authority Says British Aeroplanes Are
 Faster than German Fokker.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-That the British war office has been preparing for the fleet bf aeroplanes which Ger many is reported as building to raid England, is the news brought from London by Henry Woodhouse. a Gov ernor of the Aero Club of America, who has been in close touch with the aeronautical development on both sides since the beginning of the war.
 MT. Woodhouse says England has built hundreds of aeroplanes capable of developing speed as high, if not higher, than that of the famous Ger man Nokker. These machines have not been in gsnsyal luse in the Allies raids into the enemy country be- cause there were not enough pilots to be spared to take them out.
 The British machines are capable of making a speed of one hundred and sixty miles an hour but were not used as the ordinary planes of from fifty to seventy-five miles an hour were all that is needed for observa- tion of the enemy's position and bomb dropping.
