u.s.. Needs 10000 Aer0S
For Defence, Says Expert
Enelands M P for the Air Asserts Smaller Fleet Would
Be Inadequate Declares Seapane Too
Unwieldy for Effectiveness.

up few figures in connection with the
United States navy and replied: Ger
tainly not less than 10000 machines. TO
make any sort of prctcnec at defence.
There should be four classes Of air
craft. Light, fast scouts for recon-
noisance work alone. They shouldn't
even be armed. No need for it, as they
should be fast enough to run away
from any enemy fighting machine. A
capacity Of two hours in the air is
enough for this type. When engaged in
such work the aviator is under anti
aircraft fire all Of the time, and two
hours is all that should be expected Of
a man under those conditions.
"The second class should consist OF
bomb-dropping machines. made to carry
one heavy bomb each. This should be
carried inside the fusillage so as 10
avoid head resistance. This type
should be built in lots OF 5000 ma
chimes, so tina: many hundreds OF them
could ~ at once over given point
and destroy everything below them.
"Then there should be the fast fight
ing machines. Their function would
be TO accompany the bomb troopers
and defend them against attack.
No Faith in Seaplanes.
"The fourth class should consist OF
machines for night work. These should
be armed, but not very heavily. and
they should not be very speedy. A fast
machine is too dangerous at night.
81 do not believe in seaplanes. Land
machines are lighter and can be
launched from a vessel without any
trouble. II motors are properly en-
Gent the aviator will have no more
fear than he would have in heavy
and unwieldy sesplane.
"The United States will have bitter
regrets if she does not speedily build
an air feet which will darken the skies;
which will be irresistible. She could
well afford TO forego the building OF
half-dozcn battleships for the sake
OF an adequate air defence. or course.

committee of the Oci1la Southern
railroad, tonight confirmed the
appointment of Joseph F. Gray,
formerly of Savannah, and a
MEMBER of the state railroad COM
mission, as general manager of
that railroad. Mr.. Adler said to-
night that the railroad authorities
are sure they have obtained the
services of an efficient man.
The present general manager
will be retained by the road, it is
understood, but will have a differ
ent title. 1t is said negotiations
for Mr.. Gray's services have been
in progress for some time and that
he will leave the commission as
soon as he can be dispensed with
there. Savannah will make an eff
fort to have a Savannah man
named in his place.
Mr.. Adler did not say what
plans were contemplated by the
change of officials of tile Della
Southern. There is speculation
here as to what significance it
may have, if any at all, in the diff
ferent plans outlined for extend
ing the state railroad to the sea,
since the Ocilla Southern was
looked upon as a probable link if
the road should be built either to
Brunswick or St. Marys or by
way OF Douglas to Savannah.
Mr.. Adler said also that Mr..
Gray would become vice president
Of the East Georgia railroad,
which runs from Glennville to

holds that Office, but will relin-
quish it.

for the killing of her former hus-
band, Judge Walter S. Godbee
and his second wife, in front of
the postoffice at Millen about
three years ago, has been confined
to her bed in the female prison
building at the state farm for the
past three weeks with nervous
breakdown, which was caused
from her weakened condition
brought about by her suffering
from an intestinal ailrnent, ac-
cording to physicians attending
her case.
Sick in bed, Mrs. Godbee speaks
daily of how grateful she is for
the kindness shown her during
her illness by the prison authori-
ties, and continues to appear quite
hopeful OF her early release, stat
ing that she has no doubt but that
the prison commission and those
familiar with her case were in

circumstances surrounding her
case.
