day we are manufacturing air cruis- CTS capable of flying from the United States to Europe.
 Read Admiral Peary is one of the foremost advocates of the airplane as a weapon of invaluable service. Ad- miral Fiske, who is an inventor of wide note, also foresees great possi- bilities for the heavier than-air ma chine.
 At the present time airplanes are being used at the fronts to an extent that our imaginations can hardly grasp. They are the eyes of the army and without them none of the great offensives-at Arras or Messines in particular-that the British have made this spring would have been pos sible By gaining mastery of the air and absolutely driving the German machines back in every foray they have made, the allies were able to plan and fexecute their great attacks with a measure of secrecy which is one of the essentials of victory. The British unquestionably are superior to their enemies in the air just as they are in the trenches and this su- periority has been made possible by the creation of a specIal board of aeronautics with broad powers.
 The airplane is useful in offense, as we'll as reconnoitering, as abundant evidence proves. The German attacks on British towns and the British raids on the submarine base at Zee brugge and other towns demonstrat- ed the usefulness of the planes as bomb carriers.
 Some authorities in England have advocated the construction of an ov- erwhelming fleet of airplanes to carry the war into German territory. If, as the French aviators who are now in this country believe, America could end the war at once if it had 10000 flyers ready for service, the value of air control cannot be over estimated and the government is justified in carrying out a program for the con- struction of fleet equal to any duty even though it should cost a billion dollars.
 In any event. our government is in the ruck in the matter of airplane con- struction-having few planes for either the army or the navy and it should profit by the experience of the other powers at war in remedying immediately situation which might prove disastrous if allowed to con- tinue.
