LONDON, April 2,-The superiority
If the English and French aircraft,
which was frequently asserted in
official statements from the entente

This year, according to the British
correspondents at the front. This

new types of German machines,

and British designs and known as
the Albatros, Halberstadt, Ago, Ro-
land and the new Fokker
The majority of them have fixed
cylinder engines giving about 100 to
900 horse power. A few retain the
rotary engines with which the Ger
mans achieved some success in the
Fokker two years ago, but these
rotary engines are seldom of more
than 1870 horse power.
The new German machines have a
sneed of about 100 miles an hour,
but their chief feature is their abil-
ity for climbing Ordinarily they
treouent the $4,000 foot levels, and
they have been observed on picket
dnty as high as 10000 feet. The
latest German order for airplane en-
gInes is said to have specifications
designed to give their machines a
