WILSON TOLD ARMY
BILL SIGHTS AEROS
Instead Of $1,000. 900, Ten
Times That Is Needed.
Says Club Here.
SHOULD EQUIP MILITIA

After studying the army appropriation
Dill adopted by the louise Military AZ
fairs Committee and which II expected
to come up before the House tomorrow
the executive committee OF the Aero Club
OF America held a special meeting Sat
urday night and drew up a protest.
which has been sent to President VIII
son. Secretary OF War Baker and the
chairmen of the Army n Navy COM
mittees in Congress.
The protest says In part
The army appropriation bill does not
carry out more than one-third OF the
provisions Of the Chamberlain-Hay army
reorganization bill. which provides for
the organization Of eight aero squadrons,
and whereas 1t would be fatal TO again
army we beg to bring the following
facts to your attention.
The 1000. 900 which the army ap-
preparation bill gives to pay for the or
ganization, equipment and maintenance
OF the air service Is not even sun icient
to provide the number OF a%eroplanes
which Gen. Funston should have to-day
at the Mexican border.
The army having charge OF coast
defence. which in other countries Is in
charge or the navy. needs aeroplanes,
dirigibles. observation balloons and
kites for the protection OF our coast.
These are not provided for in the army
appropriation bill.
"lt Is estimated that the aviation
equipment alone should consist OF not
less than twenty-four complete aero
sQuadrons, each squadron being allowed
three aeroplancs for each aviator, or
t~wenty-four ~aeroplanes to each squadron.
Years of experience have shown TO
the War Department that 1t costs $685.
OOO TO organize. equip and support for a
year an aero squadron OF only twelve
aeroplanes. 1t having been found that
II IL absolutely necessary to allow three
aeropianes to each aviator. the cost Of
organizing. equipping and ming
an aero squadron is increased to APP
proximately 100000.
If the Chanberlain-Hay r~eorganiza-
ton bill is TO be put into effect and only
eight aero squsdrons are to lie organized
then the appropriation for army aero
nautics should be SO 200. 900. the amount
needed To organize, equip and maintain
the eight ~sQuadrons. To this there should
he added at least 81. 600, 600 to provide
Tor the acquisition n operation OF
dirigibles. observation balloons and
kites.
III We are 20 rely mainly on the
National Guard for the defence OF this
country the National Guard must not
be denied the a~eronautical equipment
which II rightly seeks and which is alb
solutely necessary for military eff-
cheney.
Whereas the Committee on Military
Affairs has not seen At to include in
the army reorganization bill a provision
for the twenty -four aero squadrons
which are absolutely necessary for the
defence of this country provision should
be made to supply the National Guard
of the forty States with sufficient aero
planes and equipment to form substsn-
tial aviation attachments composed OF
four aeroplanes and the necessary spare

cost would amount to about 100000 for
each aviation detachment. making 81
000, 900 for the forty states that are
now ready to organize aviation detach-
ments.
Congress provided in 1914 that sixty
officers should constitute the Aviation
Corr& of the United States army. But
when these aviators were needed this
year to protect American lives and
American property from the raids OF
Mexican bandits the army could furnish
only one-fourth that number of trained
aviators and scant equipment for only
a fraction of that number
while the main cause OF this de-
fciency was hat Congress never pro-
vlded the funds for carrying out this
provision OF the law. II Is a fact that
the army could not easily supply all the
personnel necessary to organize the
eight aero corps, provided for In the
Chamberlain-Hay bill. II is proposed.
