Urges Their Adoption in
Newport Speech.

NEWPORT, r. L, September 1.-The
use of gigantic airplanes. which the
Italians are now building. as the best
means of ending the subma rine menace
by attacking German naval bases was
urged by Maj. r. Perfetti, head of the
special Italian aeronautic mission to
the United States, at a benefit theat-
rical performance for American avi-
ators here last night
Maj. Perfetti said that aircraft car
rying twenty-five or more men could
be built in large numbers in this coun-
try, where materials are abundant;
flown across the Atlantic. and used on
the other side against Germany and
her allies. He expressed the belief that
If the American government, or a
group of patriotic Americans, would
devote s5,0o0.o00 TO such a project, the
air cruisers would soon solve the most
difficult problem of the war.
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske sup
plemented Maj. Perfetti's plea for a
great air fleet. He said:
We are at war with the most formf-
da BILE nation in the world, the nation
that already has made a speciality. of
preparing for war and waging war
We are at war with the incarnated com
bnation of intellect and evil. We are
