yesterday
Tho Sunday Times says the crying
need Of 1917 is for airplanes. as 1t was
for shells In 1915, and declares the
government must be compelled TO re-
alize that the airplane will be the ulu-
mate and deciding factor Of the war
1t insists that Thousands must he built

sent to accept ready made designs from
