essary that we should continue to get

By the Associated Press
LONDON. October 27--Aaj. Gen. Da-
vid Henderson, who is retiring as head
of the British air board to undertake
an important special duty" in an in
terview with the Associated Press
praised the American airplane, but
warned against the danger of overdo-
ing standa rdization in aircraft. He ex-
pressed the belief that the American
public should be prepared for fairly
severe" losses in air training.
In connection with the American air
program Sir Dayids only anxiety is
that the American plans for the future
shall not he permitted to hinder tho
present work of the British air service,
which is depending to a considerable
extent on the materials and training
machines ordered in the United States.
Germans Are Alarmed.
4 shall not say much TO you about
the plans Of the British air service for
the immediate future" Sir David said.
That would be giving Information that
the enemy is very anxious to obtain.
The Germans are acutely alarmed over
the preparations that the entente al
lies are making for the air war next
wear. They are under no illusions
about 1t. and they are bending every
effort 10 counter 1t by a stupendous
program on their own side. But We
have had the upper hand Of them in
the air from the very beginning and
feel sure. especially with the help Of
the United States, that our mastery

their efforts
The British Fying Corps is from
seventy to one hundred times larger
today than at the start of the war, and
We have made this tremendous aug

have been carrying on n war that in

placements from the very first day.
we all have been tremendously i'm
pressed with the plans of the United
States air service. l think you will be
extraordinarily successful But I am very
anxious that what YOU are making for
yourselves next year shall not react to
the detrinent or delay of what we order
ed in the United States long since and
need for immediate use.
