The Italian Planes.

Washington is to be given thrill
from the Alps some day this week
picture of the mighty Italian bat
tie planes which have been of such
magnificent service to Cadorns in his
fight to scale the snow-capped N -
tains and to reach Italia In !ta
and the plains of Hungary.
At a moment when we are fndulS-
ing in national huzzahs over tie COM
pletion of the new Liberty motor
it is well to be reminded that the
magnificent specimens of Italian en-
gineering art we are soon to see are
more deIicatcly wrought than ours
will be, faster than ours will be, and
altogether the most dazzling example
OF the petrol engine to be found in
the world-unless perhaps the Eng
lish Rolls-Royce engine is its equal.
Owing to the fact that the Euro
peans have the skillful handwork OF
mechanics where we are forced to
depend upon machine work, We can
only approximate their standard, but
admittedly the Liberty motor. with
its wonderful standardization OF
parts, will be of more practical value
than any of the more highly develop
ed motors of Europe. We can In
dnitely surpass our friends across
the sea in quantity production, for
instance. We can build Il motor
which may not be equal to the Eu-
ropean specimen as work OF ART
but will provide just as good fight
ing plane as any in the market.
But il will be well to look upon these
splendid Italian machines, some OF
them capable of reaching lJ0 miles
an hour, which will soon make trip
from Newport News to Washington
and return. The Fiat, Caproni, Po-
milip. and Macchi machines surpass
ANYTHING that the Capital has seen
