SWEEP FOE FROM SKY
IS AIM OF AMERICA
GOVERNMENT BEGINS GIGANT-
&c TASK OF SECURING MAS
Terry OF THE AIR.

Having set out to gain supremacy
in the air in the great European war,
the United States is beginning the
immense amount of work necessary
for the accomplishment of the task.
Congress has done its part by appro-
priating $64O,OOO,OOO for army aero
plane construction and $40,000,000
for navy machines. President Will
son has gathered the nations aerial
experts to oversee the job, and, un-
der the direction of Howard Coffin,
the gigantic building program can be
said to be under way.
Thousands of aeroplanes must be
built in the shortest possible time.
The best brains of the nation must
solve the intricate problems of aero
plane construction and flight. The in
dustrial resources of the country
must be strained to the breaking
point to provide workmen, materials
and construction space. An idea of
the bigness of the task may be CLEAN
ed from the fact that Pacific coast
lumber operators must furnish 300,-
100000 feet of spruce within the
next Is months.
Building Aeroplane Factories.
Metals and woods, parts and types,
all are being standardized so that
American industrial efficiency may be
unhampered. Aeroplane factories will
spring up in all parts of the country,
automobile factories are being re-
modelled for making parts.
The navy department has begun
the construction of S1,G00,000
aeroplane factory at the League Is
land navy yard, Philadelphia, the on
ly aforementioned aeroplane fac
tory in the United States. The con-
tract says that the work must be
completed before the end of Novem-
Der.
This aeroplane factory when COM
pleted will manufacture 1000 ma
chine guns a year and will employ
1000 men. The construction of this
great factory is part of the navy de-
partment's program for aerial expan-
sion. The new plant will be 400 feet
square and 80 feet high.
Adjacent to the new factory is a
small flying field and an excellent
beach for the launching and Landing
of hydroaeroplanes. There is an ex-
cellent concrete wharf on the river
close to the factory. Nearly thou
sand men are now at work digging
the foundation and laying the con-
crete base, in which the steel pillars
will be set.

Receiving Notice to Be Ready
For Early Departure.

The man who is certified for ser

CONGRESS MAY CLOSE
SESSION THIS WEEK
Two Administration Acts Ii
able to Go Over; Spectacu-
lar Finish Probable.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3O.--Congress

of the extraordinary war session
called April and marked by epochal
legislation.

pose of tomorrow and send to the sem
ate for final action. the program for
adjournment which may come late
this week and almost certainly no
later than next week was ALMOST com
pleted tonight.
The only other major items await
ing action before the session closes
are the eight billion deficiency ap-
preparation bill now In conference and
the administration soldiers and sailors
insurance measure. The prospects to-
night were that all other important
legislation, including the administra-
tion's soldiers and sailors civil rights
bill, will go over until the December
session.
The soldiers and sailors insurance
bill Is the stumbling block in the way
of adjournment this week. Despite the
presidents demand that H. be passed.
there is renewed talk of sidetracking
the measure II the opposition should
delay adjournment.
There may be "a spectacular and ex-
citing final ending IN both bodies of
congress. While official investigation

tions of Count Won Bernstorffs propa-
sanda work Is now deemed improba-

VIM. SHUE DETECTIVE;
JOHN WOOD SERGEANT
Chief Lucas Makes Another
Change in Police Force;
49,. H. l.. Ray Isl Dismissed.

Another change in the police de-
partment took place yesterday. con-
sisting OF the switching of a detective
and desk sergeant and the dismissal
of patrolman from the force by
Chief e. l.. Lucas. II. l.. Ray. who
has been walking beat for some
time, was the victim of the AK, while
John Wood, former detective. was
made desk sergeant to take the place
of William Shue, who will work as a
plainclothes man.
Chief Lucas stated that there was
no specific reason for the change Of
Wood and Shue other than to insure
more efficiency in the organization.
Unsatisfactory service was given for
the dismissal of Ray.
Both Shue and Wood had no OBJ
lection to the change" stated the
chief. Besides his former experience
Shue has acted for two years as desk
sergeant here and his ability to make
an excellent detective cannot be
doubted. Wood has been with the de-
partment for nearly year and his
service as n deteAive has been of the
highest quality. While in Kansas City
! also investigated his record with the
police department there and find the
same standard prevails. and there is
no question about his qualification for
the responsible position he now
holds" the chief added.
