serve engineer. officers in accordante
with the plans of the War Coliege. was
laid before the Senate COMMITTEES on
Military Affairs today by William Bar
clay Parsons, Of New York The plan.
said Mr.. Parsons would cost the Gov
eminent little and would provide an
ample trained reserve OF engineers
In case OF emergency He thought
that two weeks training with tbs
troops each year would be enough for
the engineers.
Like the doctors" said Mr.. Par
sons. engineers are always ucbiiixed
for war"
Mr.. Parsons thought that engineers
had around them In their personal
business enough skilled artisans to
make up the rank and fiie OF Il com
plete engineer reserve corps. not liIni-
ted only to officers. re the organixa-
tion were extended in this way. he
said. the outbreak OF war would find
the United States well prepared ~ far
as engineers were concerned. He
said the United STATES had in the En-
gineer Corps of the army only one
general officer and fifteen other of
ficers OF The rank OF colonel or over.
The British army In 1918, he said,
had an engineer Field Marshal and
eight other officers of the rank of
coipref. or over but that the corps
proved entirely too small when. war
came.

New York. Jan. a1.--G. Douglas
editor Of Aerial Age. tom
the cadets and Instructors at West
Point OF a new type ~ef aeroplans
which is being developed in this conn
try for the use Of the Allies. ana said
to be the greatest step forward y
conanering the cir that has, yst been
taken.
"T'he United States needs 1000 aero
planes. but has only twenty. and tho
published estimates Of the War and
Navy Departments for NEXT year pro-
vide for less than one hundred aero
planes in ALL" Mr.. wardrop said.
He discussed the German Fokker
machines. Referring to the aeroplane
being developed qnietly in this coun-
try he added:
This aerepiane will be ak times
larger than any yet tried, 1t can carry
sufficient gasoline to give II q cruis-
Ing range of more than SEQ miles at
q speed OF seventy-five miles an hour.
BY decreasing the load this distance
can be greatly increased. The power
plant consists of seven motorS-Nix
OF 160 horsepower each. and one OF
forty horsepower With about eight
passengers this machine has = further
capacity for CARRYING 100 gallons Of
gasoline. sixty gallans cf oil. and !
useful load of 5000 pounds.
.This machine will be built with
three planes spreading I33 fest. The
length is sixty-eight feet, and rudder
area fifty-four square fest. Tho weight
OF the hull and planes r 5000 pcur0A
OF the motors 1000 pounds. u
This will be the type Of lombard
ing aeropiane that will be used on
the German ports this spring. Many
Of the type are now under construc-
ton
n Mr.. wardrop said that i new gun
will accompany the monster plane.
The gun will have no recoil. and Will
consist of a tubs In which two shots
are discharged by ono explosion. One
shot. the shell. speeds forward to-
ward the enemy; the other u ~ eAnd.
and comes out OF the rear the tsfpe,
thus taking up the recoil. = 81
