Its Chief Functions.

1.-The councils chief functions are
The coordination of all forms of
transportation and the development Of
means Of transportation to meet the
military, industrial, and commercial
needs of the nation; the extension of
the Industrial mobilization work of the
committee on industrial preparedness
of the naval consulting board. Com

ties adaptable to many-sided uses Of
modern warfare would be procured,
analysed, and made use of.
zone Of the objects of the council
will be to inform American manufac-
turers as to the part they can and
must play in national emergency. 1t,

maintain through subordinate bodies
of specially qualified persons an aux
Hilary organization composed of men of
the best creative and administrative
capacity, capable of mobilizing to the
utmost the resources of the country"
The details of what the council Of
national defense is doing or will do
probably never will be made public.
The means which a nation takes to
prepare itself for warfare are not to
be publicly proclaimed lest the enemy
profit by the information.

FOR AIR SERVICE
Good Progress Made at Govern

stead Plains.
LEARN THEIR DUTIES QUICKLY

Principal Task Of instructors
Officers Well Pleased With
the Efficiency Shown.

New York.-At the big government
aviation field on Hampstead Plains
good progress Is being made In train
ing fliers and working out tactical
problems. The biggest thing yet at
tempted was a flight by 20 airplanes,
the largest number ever to take the
air this side of the Atlantic They
went in search of theoretical enemy.
Some Of the machines were manned
by regular army officers and others
by civilians under training. An en-
envy regiment-so "dispatches" had
reported-was encamped in the vicin-
ity. The problem was to find their
trenches, such Of their forces as were
on the march, their motor transports,
and their artillery.
The fliers took the air at three
o'clock, and within an hour and %
minutes all of the information
was in the hands of the officers
at headquarters on the aviation field.
Pleased With the Test.
Most of the airplanes had returned
within 40 minutes, but the squad as
signed to locating the motor truck
did not accomplish its mission until
the truck was within three miles Of
the field.
The army officers and the flying In
structors were much pleased with the
test, which was made without any
mishaps and according to schedule.
The IS planes took the air in squads,
to each one of which had been assigned
a special mission. They assembled to
heights varying from 5000 to 5000
feet, except the squad which had been
ordered to detect the artillery fire of
the enemy, which flew at about 1000
feet
A trench about 100 feet long had
been dug about three miles from the
camp. Near it was an imaginary regi-
ment represented by strips of white
cloth. The motor truck which started
from Far Rockaway represented sup
ply train, and was covered with black
and white stripes. Smoke bombs
were sent up to represent artillery
fire.
In each machine were an observer
and pilot. They took with them
maps Of the country, sketching pads
and cameras. Capt. J. w. Butts of
the First Signal corps, operated a
camera by revolving propeller,
which permitted the taking of several
hundred photographs within a short
period.
Do Their Work Well.
The artillery fire was located first,
and soon afterward a second squad
returned with news of the position of
the imaginary regiment. The trench
also was found within comparatively
short period. The motor in the mean
time had been continuing it's run to
Mineola, meeting on the Long Island
parkway number of other machines,
from which at a great height it was
hard to distinguish it. It had arrived
at Hampstead village before the avia-
tors discovered it.
The airplanes maintained squad
formation during their entire flight. At
signals from the officers in command
of the different groups, they executed
different scouting formations.
