COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July "a.
THE American aerial program is
just another huge bluff" according
to a statement of q German aerial
commander as printed in the Berlin
papers.
The Americans we have net 50
far have not been a dangerous foe,
and there is nothing IN their past
to indicate that they are going to
prove a real menace to Germany he
continued.
In speaking of the aeroplane pro-
gram, the German commander de-
clared that the United States is going
to have more difficulty in carrying
out the purely material and mechani-
cal part of the program than she
anticipates. In the first place, there
are no types of aeroplanes of the
practicable war kind now available
for the American factories and it will
be a long time before they can get
them. The Allies of the Americans
realize this, as witness the recent
statement in the London Morning
Post, pointing out just this difficulty
ahead of England's ally"
