ALLIES PREPARE
 HUGE AIR FLEET TO RAID GERMANY
United States Will Furnish 22,500 Machines by Next
 Summer.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Military of 1cials in Washington are prophesying that aerial warfare will take on pro portions by next July which will make the imaginative fiction of H. G. Wells and other writers appear tame in com parison with the actual happenings. The flyers will not go out alone or by twos and threes or even by the dozens then, it is predicted, but will be narshalled for their trips Of destruc- tion by the hundreds and perhaps by the thousands.
 Persons in touch with the advance of military strategy abroad say that the aviation programs are taking on an impotence which actually are over- shadowing almost all else. Teuton raids over London. it is said, are arousing the people to a demand for retaliatory raids which will not be satisfied with anything less. than a whoIe-hearted and unrestricted cam. paign against Germany.
 The British authorities, according to information reaching here, have awak- ened to the immense effectiveness of the airpiane' and are anticipating the demands of the people by embarlxing on an airplane construction pro- gramme which would have been char acterized as preposterous, if not impos- sib1e, not more than a year ago.
 France Is joining in the campaign, but it is on the United States that the Allies are counting for most .substan- tial aid in turning out airplanes in quantity, American experts early hav- ing adopted the idea that quantity pro- duction in the present circumstances would count more effectively in win- ming the war than striving toward per- lection in quality at the sacrifice of numbers.
 Americas aviation programme, SC far as it is embodied in the s640.00O, GOO appropriation granted by the first session of the Sixty fifth Congress. will be completed by July or early in August.
 This means that 22,5oo airplanes and the 50,000 motors with which te equip them and to serve as spares will have to be manufactured. It is prob able that shortly after Congress re. conyenes an indication will be giver the public of the extent Rf the pro. gramme which is to follow the pres ent one.
 So far as the capacity of the air, plane plants is concerned it is said that by July there will be. substan tially no limit to their output excep that which is imposed by the size O. | the appropriations granted by Con
 gress.
 , For the next month Liberty motor
 will be. turned out in limited numbers
 In December 200 or 300 may be manu
 factured, but after this the rate o
 manufacture "a pidly will speed up un Ntil a capacity of 4.000 or 5000 a montl
 is reached. After this the ability o American factories to turn out the mo l tors will depend entirely on the mone, ] available.

Many Men of German Blood Are Prominent
 In British Affairs

Sir Alfred Moritz Mond. member of the British Parliament and lead- ing manufacturer and newspaper owner, was born forty-nine years ago today in Lancashire. Like many oth- CT men prominent in British affairs, from King George downward. Sir AL fred has German blood in his veins, his father having been a native or Cassel, although naturalized as British subject. The latter was the late pr. Ludwig Mond, a Fellow of the Royal Society. who made for tune in England The son was edu- cated at Cambridge and Edinburgh University, and was admitted to the bar in 1894, but, like his father he has found his chief interest in the de- veloprnent of the chemical industries.
 He was created a baronet in 1910, and in the same year entered Parliament from Swansea as a Liberal. His part ner, Sir John Brunner, is also of Ger
 man descent Sir Alfred and Sir John
 had the backing of the government
 in suit they brought against mer-
 chant who sent them a letter address
 ed to .'Mond and Brunner, The Ger
 man Pigs The partners have played large part in the development of the British alkali industry, and the al- kali works of Brunner, Mond & Co.,, at Northwich are the largest in the world.
 Ecores of other prominent Britons are of German birth or descent, among the more prominent being Sir
 Ernest Cassell, Sir Edgar Speyer. Bar on Bruno Schroeder, Julius Ritter hausen, Sir Felix Schuster. Sir Max waechter, Sir Carl Meyer, Sir George Albu and Baron von Bissing. The latter. who is half-b brother of Gen. von Bissing, the late German military
 governor of Belgium was interned on
 the allegation that he had engaged in signalling operations from his home in Sussex
 | In royal circles in Great Britain there are few who have not some trace of Teutonic, blood. The British royal family is as German as is that of | Germany itself. Prince Louis of Bat tenberg, Prince Christian of Schles-
 wig -Holstein, the Duchess of Albany,
 and the Duchess of Connaught are all
 of German birth, the German wife of

 of King George and Queen Mary.

BUILDERS DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF. LABOR AND HOUSING; THEY FAVOR
 THE ERECTION OF THREE DECkERS

An interesting meeting was held by he building contractors of this city at their headquarters in Sagal hall on Saturday afternoon. SssS
 Resolutions were made and voted upon. to help conserve all kinds Of labor required in building operations. The drafting of large number of men for war has helped to make a shortage and the continued search for men from outside concerns has also helped to reduce the number of mon. who are accustomed to work on buildings
 The opinion was freely expressed that a check should be put upon the exportation of men from Bridgeport, if possible that while works of emer- gency. especially in, connection with munitions or war supplies should have the preference, there was no reason why public service corpora tions should be allowed to deplete the labor market, but every reason for the same methods of conservation of help as demanded by the food com mission,
 The Builders Exchange will mutu- ally assist in retaining the help at present available, by advising each other when men are liable to be laid off. thus preventing loss of time .oz the part of the men and the best use of their service. The discussion ot the housing problem was very inter esting. the main points upon which the majority present agreed being as follows:

WHY SIAM
ENTERED WAR
Prince Of songkIa, Brother OF King
Tells Why His Little
Country Made Dec

BOSTON, July 25.-National neces-
sity and moral pressure forced Siam
into the war on the part of the en-
tente. in the opinion Of Mahidol,
prince of Songkla, brother of the
reigning King vigiravudh.
Neutrality on the part of this small
but long independent nation in the
far east has become increasingly diff
ficult and there has been growing
sentiment that freedom and justice
for states not strong from military
standpoint were not to be secured
through the policy of the central
powers.
Sympathy for Belgium, that began

Belgium, and Germany became, IN
the popular mind. military giant.
striding ruthlessly through the fields
of weaker people. President VIII.
sons message to congress put IN
words what the Sfamese had been
thinking, and when that great mes.
sage became known and understood

the war was fixed"
The prince is lieutenant in tina
Siamese navy. He is expecting a
message directing him to report IN
Siam for orders, but his preference
would be an assignment with the
American fleet as an observer or IN
some similar capacity.

The part that Siam will play in
the war will be Insignificant so far
as aid to her allies is concerned, in
the opinion Of the prince. Germany
however, had more to lose than the
allies would have had if Siam had
cast her lot with the Teutonic en-
pires, for Germany lost her last I'm
