Hawaii stands in a class by itself

HOUSE MAKES BIG
ALLOWANCE FOR
BATTLE PLANES
War Department Bill Allowing
I. $64O, 100000 and Calling
for 22, 900 Planes Paseed \
Without Debate.

Washington, July 15.--The War de-
partment bill appropriating $640,000,-
600 for construction OF $4,000 air
planes was passed by the house late
Saturday without a roll cali. 1t was
amended only in minor details.
Amendments adopted included one
by Representative Lenroot of Wis
consin, limiting the broad authorities
granted the executive for represent
war emergency, and one by. Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald, New York, pro-
viding that enlisted men drafted for
the aviation corps shall be within the
same ages--2l to so, inclusive--as
apply in the general conscription law.
The bill carrying the greatest avia-
tion appropriation ever proposed in
congress and passed in less than FIVE
hours, evoked some criticism of legis-
lative methods, but no attack on the
general purpose.
Germany Might Learn.
Chairman Dent, of the military
committee, declaring debate might re-
suit in information leaking to Ger
many, clashed with Mr.. Fitzgerald,
chairman of the appropriation conf
mittee, who said congress was hand.
ling public funds In a slipshod and
illogical way and that if the war
emergency, during which the bill is
specifically applicable, continues two
years, the appropriation for such a
period would violate the constitution.
Wants Greater Secrecy.
Representative Kahn, republican, Of
California, pointed to Germany's
secrecy of military program and said
that .neighboring nations knew moth
ing of her forty.two-centimeter guns
until they battered down the Belgian
forts, or of Germany's deadly gases.
But" he warned. "we seem to
want to go to war as though we are
going on hunting trip. with brass
band"
The bill which now goes to the
senate, gives no details, but a total
personnel of the aviation section ap-
proximating 10000 men. is under
stood to be contemplated. Broid dis
creticnary powers are vested in the
president. ....
The $640,000,000 appropriated is moi
only for personnel and aircraft, but
for engines equipment, guns, arma.
ment, ammunition, spare parts, bar.
racks and buildings, operation of avia.
ton stations, experiments, creation
acquisition and development of air.
craft plants and factories, expense ol
agents for observation and investiga,
ton abroad and other necessary work
