BAKER PLANS AIR
PATROL OF BORDER
Civilians Will Be Enrolled as
Army Aviators-First
steps Taken.
A CANVASS OF MACHINES

WASHINGTON. June no.-Thc Score.
tary OF War has before him a conpre-
hensive plan for the aerial patrol Of IN"
Mexican border 10 be made effective as
soon az circumstances warrant. IT CON
templates purchase by the Government
OF aeroplanes owned by various flrms
and civilians throughout tho country and
the enrolment Of civilians into the srmy
service as avistors.
Definite stepe already have been taken
to carry out the plan. The first move
made by the war Department was TO
communicate by telegraph with every
a~croplane manufactures In the country
and to ascertain the number OF aero
planes owneo by civilians which might
be available.
Col. George Squier, head of the aero
nautical branch OF the army. is under
stood TO have received Geographic re-
plies informing him Just how many ma
chimes he may count on and how soon
they can he available for service. He
will be IN a position tn put the plan into
execution within "A few hours after Sec
Rotary Baker gives the order.
Though Col. Sauier himself would not
comment OH tUt pan. plIltT mucous IL
the War Department said to-day that
II would be perhaps the most feasible
border patrol so far as insuring United
States territory against attack was con-
cerned.
Col. Squier. recently returned from the
American Embassy in London. where he
was military attache during the first
eighteen months OF the European war.
On several occasions he visited the war
lone In France and viewed at close range
the effective patrol work done by the
British and French aeroplanes-'
Both the British and French govern
ments made use Of the civilian avia-
tors In these countries At the outbreak
OF the war. The proposal to supply an
aerial patrol for the Mexican border Is
along this same line.
The enrolment Of civilian aviators In
connection with the duty OF the National
Guard oun To supplying an aerial
defence which otherwise would require
months TO perfect.
The aerial patrol plan Is independent
OF the work which aeroplanes attached
to the American forces in Mexico may
he called upon to perform. These aero
planes would continue their scouting duty
and othcrWis" render service TO the
forces In Mexico. but the border patrol
would be especially arranged to protect
American territory.
