aim and to make it available and USE
ful to every man who is looking for

u. S. Has 100000
Autos Ready for War
Motor Car Manufacturers Are
Prepared to Mobilize Any
Number of Vehicles

Washington, April Coordination
OF the country's motor car resources
was planned at a conference here to-
day between the council Of national de-
fence and automobile manufacturers
and experts comprising the councils
motor transport committee.
Standardization Of motor vehicles
was one OF the most important ques-
tons taken up. Already, it was said
much in that direction has been accom-
pllshed.
Howard Coffin, a member of the
councils advisory commission, said
after the meeting:
"A number of conferences have been
held during the past year TO meet the
situation, the experience of the eXpe-
dictionary campaign into Mexico having
been carefully studied. America has
now in active service 100000 motor
cars, against 100000 in use in all the
rest Of the world. Our present pro-
ducinG capacity is about one and one.
quarter millions of cars year. Any
emergency call for such transportation
which may be issued by the military
authorities on any district, will, due to
months OF work by the committee, be
promptly met

Manufacturers Can
Supply Nation with
5000 Planes Yearly
Continuous Orders Needed; An
other College Training Camp
for Long Island

With orders for continuous dellv-
cries, this country's aeroplane manu-
facturers by extending their facilities
can supply 5000 machines a year
This fact of Importance to the
aerial defence Of our land-was learned
through a recent investigation of the
National Advisory Committee on Aero
nautics, and was made known by the
Aero Club of America last night.
A large aviation training camp for
college men is to be established on
Long Island through the efforts of
Henry Z. DAWSON, Lewis S. Thompson
and +. Trubee DAWSON, in connection
with the naval authorities and the Ma
tional Aerial Coast Patrol Commission.
The problem Of obtaining aeroplanes
was believed to be one of the greatest,
but it is now believed there will be no
difficulty in this regard. The National
Advisory Committee on Aeronautics
has recommended that the army and
navy place large orders for continuous
deliveries. On the strength of this the
manufacturers are purchasing ma
terials needed in the building of planes
and motors, and will be able TO make
substantial deliveries soon. Formerly
government orders have been for i'm
mediate deliveries, and the manu-
facturers have had nothing to look for
ward to.
The decision to establish another
school for the training of college men
for coast patrol work came about
through the success of the 1st Aerial
Coast Patrol-twenty-nin Yale men
now in training at West Palm Beach
and the obvious need of fiers in the
second and third naval districts. Re
cent consideration of the aerial needs
Of these brought out that 1900 avia.
tors, so dirigible balloon pilots and 1OC
observation balloon operators were de
sirable for an adequate defence of the
territory.
The school will accommodate 10(
men. The site has been selected, but
will not be made public now. It i,
probable that the actual work of train
ing will be undertaken by employees Of
Rodman Wanamaker's company, the
America Trans-Oceanic Company.
