Further objection to Mr. Colby may
develop through the fact that he is

United States is stacking its resources

machines to make the conquest DOS
sible
Inis was the declaration today of
Srisadier-General George o. Squire.
commander OF the signal corps. IT
am not here to make public our plans
or TO indulge in prophetic figures, -
said General Squire. The cIosest
estimates can give is about this: The
determination of the allied govern
ments Is to enter Germany by the air
route-and the United States govern
ment is going to provide enough ma
chimes to MAKE itself felt in putting
this program through.
This is not saying that We will
construct $4,000 airplanes or one mill
non or ten or dozen. If knew
how many machines we would con-
struct or could construct in a year l
would not tell. because this would be
telling Won Hindenburg. and he
would thank US for the information.
The best time to tell the enemy about
any military program is after that
program has been carried out and put
into execution.
The German Plan.
Germany announced her 42-centt-
meter guns by hauling them up 10
the battle line and firing shells OF
hitherto unheard OF calibre into
Belgium After the guns were built
and placed and in operation she en-
couraged the press in clarifying the
results. The Germans are a nation of
press agents, but they never let pub
lictty tamper with government
secret.
"Of course. the public wants to
know what we are going to do with
the $3.50. 900. 900 which congress has
appropriated for the aviation service.
Well. it's safe TO say that we will
spend that money and probab bly, much
more on the air route into GERMANY
That's about all we are going to saw.
People who are SO cock sure about
our determination to build $4,000
aeroplanes seem to be inspired with
the notion that aeroplanes are all
made on the same pattern, all turn
ed as alike as two cubes of sugar As
a matter OF fact. aeroplanes vary in
cost between $4,000 and $4,000. and
a comprehensive aerial program must
include everything from a simple
school machine to flying dread
naught. New inventions are continu-
ally being tried out. new appliances
and models must be installed to keep
UP with the times-or a little ahead
Of them. The German general staff

TO TRY REVOLT LEADER.

PetrograG. NoT a-The military
revolutionary committee has decided
to bring General Kornilof, leader of
the recent revolt, and his supporters
to P~etrograd and impFison them in
the fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul.
They will be brought to trial before
a military revolutionary Tribunal.
Northumberland KorniIof was
commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies when early last September sew
eraI detachments Of troops under his
command marched on Petrograd. He
was removed from Office. Some Of his
troops reached a point 80 miles from
PetrOgrad when they deserted to the
provisional government. The move
ment collapsed on September Is, and
General Korniloff surrendered. A
board of army officers inquired into
the revolt but General Korniloff has
never been broughtto trial.
