Development of War Avia-
ton in the Dominion to
Cost SS0,000,000
AMERICANS PLAN
TO CONDUCT WORK
Men Trained in All Phases of Fight
ing on the Wing - 800 Machines to
Be Built for Defense.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Canada has
started to spend the $4,000, 600 recent
ly set aside for the aeronautical devel-
opmeHt and aerial protection of the Do
minion, and an outline of the plans be
ing followed has been received by
Harry Woodhouse of the Aero Club of
America. These call for the establish
ment of great training schools, an aero
plane factory of large capacity, and the
maintenance, in active service of
twenty aero squadrons. The plans were
formulated bv an American aviator,
J. A. II. McCurdy who has been identi-
fled with aeronautics in this country
for many years.
." learned today that eleven officers
of the Royal Flying Corps, and forty
mechanics have Just arrived in Cana
da, said Mr.. Woodhouse, where they
will take charge of the development of
the twenty aero squadrons planned for
the defense of the Dominion. The com
handing officer of the detachment is
Colonel Hoare, who will be assisted by
Majors Nethhun and Allen, and Cap
tains Borell and Strobel. Colonel
Hoare will select his assistants, most
of whom will be Canadians.
The training schools are to be es-
tablished near Toronto. These will
have $50 machines each and will take
their pupils through all the work nee
essarv to fit them for immediate battle
service. They will be taught pursuit
work, housekeeping, observation, rou-
tine. and every branch of modern air
practice. Hitherto the Canadian aviators
have received their preliminary train
ing here and in Canada and were sent
abroad for the finishing touches. More
/ than 600 have been sent to England SC
| far. From now on the Canadian
/ branch of the Royal Flying Corps will
! turn out their military aviators at
/ home.
! IF. W. Bailey of the munitions
4 board will supply the machines, OF
/ which 300 are needed Immediately
( The aviators themselves will be under
| the imperial Army and will be in act
| i've service as members Of the defense
/ forces of the empire.
"McCurdy started more than TIVE
years ago to develop Canadian aero
lnautics. At that time he met witt
small response and it was not unit
a number of graduates of his schoo
near Toronto were sent abroad anC
made brilliant records that the ide;

for the twenty aero squadrons and tool

WOULD SAND BAG
WAR DEPARTMENT
Gen. Leonard Wood Believes It Should
Be rganized-Criticises Ma
tional Guard.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Mai. Gen.
Leonard Wood recalled yesterday for
discrimination before the senate
universal training subcommittee, said
army officers were not disposed to
shirk responsibility for the war depart
ment s shortcomings in the direction
of the National Guard mobilization at
the border.
In response to questions by Senator
Lee of Maryland, defender of the
guard system, at whose instance the
cross-examination was ordered, Gen
Wood admitted that the federal govern
ment $ supply plans for the state
troops collapsed 10 days after they
were called out and that in certain
respects mobilization of the regulars
like the guards failed to come up to ex-
pectations. II insisted, however, that
a system without shadow of state
interference would have operated to
much better effect and that the only
ultimate solution TO the problem would
be universal military service under ex-
elusive federal control
Gen. Wood repeated today his asser-
tion that the mobilization was a TRACE
dy, but also declared he did not intend
to criticize the officers and men of the
guard, but only the "vicious, indefen-
sible system.
"By supreme effort in six months
time, - he said. eve got 1850 men
to the border. The country could have
been eaten up by an efficient enemy in
that time. -
Senator Lee pointed out that the reg
ular army had played its part in the
failures.
yes" said Gen. Wood, and ]
would go after the war department
with sandbag and reorganize it.
The greatest failure of the fedora
government, Gen. Wood said, was this
supply system. Great Britain haC
faced the same thing, he added, wher
/ the European war came and found il
necessary to abandon her whole system
and create a department of munitions
The men and officers of the guar(
are high-minded, patriotic individuals
/ Gen. Wood said. ''but not soldiers
. 1t would have been murder t.
have sent them against any fairly ef
ficient foe. - he added.

long list of applicants. College men
are volunteering in numbers.
"The Canadian plans call for $50
aviators always in active service At
the usual rate of three machines to
each man, there will have to be about
$40 aeroplanes ready at all times. This
will be large number and will con
stitute great aerial armament, as all
of these aviators will be skilled in ev-
cry branch of their work, from scout
ing to housekeeping.
''The war according to the idea in
aeronautieal English circles, is be-
coming more and more a question of
supremacy in the air. In fact. it is
openly predicted that the war will be
fought out in the air. =

:" All that is necessary, he declared,

meat problem is not much of a prob
