War Department Asks Congress for
Big Appropriation.


Big Appropriation.
Washington, June 30.-The war de
partment submitted supplemental esti.
mates to congress calling for an ap
preparation Of $15,000,0O0 fer a N!
and national guard air service.
1t is expected the money will be
made Immediately available in order
that equipping national guard units
with air craft may begin without de,
lay.
The estimates show an increase OF
$12,00O,000 over senate figures previ-
ously fixed, and s14,0OO,OOO over the
house military committees plan. The
increase is due to a signal corps plan
to outfit at once twelve national guard
aeroplane squadrons, one to each tacti
cal division. Each squadron woull
have thirty-siX scouting and battle air
craft in addition to its motor truck and
motorcycle equipment
