U. S. CAN RULE AIR,
SAY ALLIED EXPERTS
Britain and France Strongly
Urge Great Increase in Amer
ican Aviation Power
WASHINGTON. June 9


America can rule the air. The balance
Of power in aircraft is in the hands Of the
United States Government. should II see
it to use il.
It became known today, Immediately fol-
lowing the arrival of the 100 naval aviators
in France, that the Allied Governments are
strongly urging the War and Navy Depart
ments to put forth as strenuous efforts In
the building and equipping Of a new ma
tional aviation corps as they are putting
into the construction Of the national army.
Thousands OF American aviators will
swarm over Europe within a few months,
if the wishes Of the Allies are fulfilled, It
was learned today.
Military members Of the French and
British missions and permanent commits
sions here have explained the situation as
follows:
England and France are the largest sup
porters Of aerial warfare on the side OF
the Allies. These two nations together can
turn out machines for war in the air only
little. IL any, faster than Germany. The
result is that the control OF the air, over
the European battlehelds, is continually
changing.
America with her great resources and
organized manufactures, can turn out
more machines than the Allies and Ger
many combined, the Allied experts say.
England has sent her premier airman
here, Major w L. b. Rees. Major Tulasane
and Lieutenant A. de la Grange, of the
French air forces, are also here. These
men, working with American experts, are
hoping to make the air forces of the United
States the strongest in the world.
England has the latest designs OF aero
planes, most successful In aerial fighting.
They are a much lighter type Of machine
than those In use In the United States
aerial. corps now. .
Major Rees Of the Royal Flying Corps
has told United States war officials that
England stands ready to turn over all OF
her plans and patents 10 the United States
| II it's manufacturers will but turn out large
numbers OF the machines for service In
| France.

DANIELS APPLIES MUZZLE
TO NEWS OF NAVY MOVES
Silver Shell Announcement Shows Ne
cessity of Guarding Operations
From This Side

WASHINGTON, June 9.--Following the
example Of Secretary Of State Lansing, his
fellow-Cabinet member, Secretary of Navy
Daniels today tackled a tight gag on the
Navy Department.
incidentally England and France have
been informed that they must be more
cautious about the American news that they
publish TO the world.
officers and employees were ordered TO
keep quiet under penalty of dismissal as
to any news matter from the department
The gag rule is an indirect result of the
publication Of the name Of the Silver Shell,
the vessel which sank a German U-boat.
France made the name public the State
and Navy Departments confirmed IT,
Thereupon the committee on public in
formation objected to the dissemination
of news from abroad and asked that con-
troll be centered within itself
'The country is being poisoned by reports
Of battles and disasters-all wSS,out the
slightest foundation in truth" said Sec
retary Daniels.
kilograms from newspapers inquiries
from naval commandants and individual
letters indicate a widespread effort to
alarm and distress the people of the United
States" the Secretary said.
