WASHINGTON. June 15.-Air bat
ties on a vastly greater scale than
yet heard OF in the war and in which
American aviators will figure, were
forecast to-d day by Gen. George owen
squler, Chief of the Army Sigpsl

OF the Aircraft Production Board OF
the Council Of National Defense. ~
"Droves of American aeroplanes
sweeping the Germans from the sky,
raiding and destroying their military
camps and inflicting frightful de-
struction on the enemy" was the
hope expressed by Gen. squler in SUP
port OF his request for S60,O00,Ooo
from Congress for aeroplanes and
equipment.
Germany expects to bring $500
aeroplanes into the fighting next
spring" MIR. coffin declared, quoting
a Paris despatch. This might well
prove discouraging to the Allies. We
should furnish them the necessary
number OF airmen to drive all hos
tile machines to the ground"
