he had subsequently gone to work for

attempted to show that at one time

instructions or suggestions relative to

Government Calls
For 10000 More
Men by June 80

Washington, June l2.-The War De-
partment called to-day for 10000 addi-
tional recruits in order TO FIJI the regu-
lar army TO war strength before
June 30.
"The cavalry, engineers, coast ar
tillery, signal corps and quartermaster
corps of the regular army have al
ready been brought to war strength,
saws an official statement. "Forty-hve
thousand recruits are needed at once
tc complete the new regiments Of in
fantry and field artillery. Twenty-Five
thousand additional recruits are desired
at the earliest practicable date to NIL
vacancies in order that the war strength
OF 800, 900 men may be maintained.
Facilities are in readiness for plac-
ing these 10000 men under proper
training. Any delay in obtaining TINS

rFrou 4 stsr Correspondent o. The Treunel
Plattsburg, n. Y, June l2.-How 10
train field artillerymen without any
field artillery is a question that is puz'
zling officers at the training camp to-
day.
II may have to be solved in the same
manner as the cavalry problem. An
insufficient number of mounts, saddles
and brides being available, it was de-
cided that the future officers of horse
would simply have to do without, and
take their instruction dismounted for
the present.
Another query agitating headquar-
ters is where the LOO field artillery
men will begin their instruction when
the second period of the camp opens on
Monday. Facilities here are not the
best, and Syracuse, where 1T was hrst
announced the batteries would be sent,
having little better to offer, this order
was rescinded. There has been talk oil
sending this arm to Fort Sill, Okla
homa, which has one Of the best artil-
lery ranges in the world.
Captain J. NJ. Walling, the mess offi-
GER. is pressing the point as to whether
he must provide food for the l,lOO next
week. AS the buying should be done a
week in advance, Lieutenant Colonel
Paul A. Wolf, the commandant, has
wired Washington for a speedy de-
cision.
The difficulty in providing guns to
train the artillery student officers also
is pointed out. Three batteries from
each OF the sixteen officers camps IN
the country would require for lnstruc'
ton purposes about all of the light ar
tillery in the United States, leaving
nothing for the regular army recruits
The only artillery at Plattsburg Is
battery OF smooth bore cannon for
firing round shot. These guns did cred
liable work in the Civil War, but
haven't been used since.
Major Edgar T. Collins, commander
Of the New York regiment, won ms
point with the adjutant generals once
and succeeded in having all l76 OF the
New Workers who applied for the engl-
neer corps assigned to that arm: They
will leave for Belvoir. Va, Friday
Only one hundred coast artillerymen
will be sent to Fortress Monroe. Two
hundred and sixty-two applied. ana
Major Collins recommended that all be
sent. urging that better qualified men
could not be obtained.
Good material for heavy artillery ofil-
GERS is difficult TO find, but because
facilities for training these men are
not al hand they will be assigned to
other branches, most of them 70 the in
fantry. which is the least technical OF
the arms of the service.
The camp is gradually receiving more
equipment. Gallery rifles have arrived,
and on Monday the troops which re
main at Plattsburg will begin shooting
on the regular range. Thirty-siX OF
the seventy-two targets are ready.
Tactical work has been taken up in
the classrooms. War maps Of the bat
tlefelds of Gettysburg and Antietam
are being used for the various prob
lens. J. T. Haughney, Edward r.
Turin and Peter j. Lantry were the
New Workers among the eleven who re-
signed from camp to-day.

greater than either our army or our

"A statement was made in Con-
gress. February II. 1913, by Repre-
sentative Sharpe. Of Ohio, now our
Ambassador to France, to the effect
that at that time the United States
ranked thirteenth among the nations
of the world in aviation expenditures.
At that time the total expenditures

Lessons Abroad Pointed Out
Lieutenant Colonel Rees, who was
decorated with the Victoria Cross be-
cause he fought ten German military
aviators at one time and successfully
downed several of them, strongly in
dorsed most Of the representations
made by Representative Hubert and
Rear Admiral Peary.
"At the beginning of the war he
said, eve suffered severely from short
age of machines and trained men and
because there was no official coordlna-
ton. Army and navy inspections con
hcted with each other. Now we have
an Independent air board, whose office
stands az the peak of the various gov
ernmental activities in regard to aero
nautics. Its establishment has coordi-
mated air efforts and eliminated lost
motion.
"The head of this air board in the
British Cabinet was Lord Cowdray un-
til recently, but there has been some
thing in the papers late about his hav-
ing been succeeded by Colonel Winston
Churchill, former First Lord of the Ad-
miralty.
"The British air board seems to be
good bit like the proposed department
of aeronautics which you gentlemen are
discussing to-day"
Air Service Important.
Admiral Peary spoke in part as ioi-
lows:
an the comparatively near future
the air service will be more important
than the Army and the Navy com olned'
That statement has been made oihcial-
ly on the floor of Parliament and other
legislative DOQlcS dDIOdu ny sum NV"
as Mr.. Balfour. Lord Charles Beres,,
ford. Mr.. Churchill, Lord Montague and
Lord Northclffe.
"And those same men are saying puo-
licly and officially that the decision IN
this war may-some of them are now
saying will-come In the air, and they
are also saying that every country VIII
be forced to have its separate, inde-
pendent air department France and
Great Britain-and without question
probably Germany - have already
formed such departments.
81 think the vital necessity for such
a separate, independent department as
this, with its head a member of the
Presidents family, is so self-evident 1t
really does not admit of any discus
sion.
"At first the aeroplane was used ex-
clusively for scouting. Then it was
armed to enable each aeroplane to re-
pei other aeroplanes. Now the aero
planes are mounting heavier guns, and
are carrying larger and larger loads
of explosives. Recently I saw the plan
of an aeroplane on which at that time
there had been. was told, about six
weeks construction, machine already
contracted for by the government,

Panic on Bay Steamer
AS Cylinder Explodes

Passengers on the steamer Christina,
of the Keansburg Steamboat Company,
were thrown into a panic last night
when the vessel on her $3.50 trip down
the bay blew out a cylinder head. The
explosion and the cloud of steam which
rushed I'D through the craft led TO wild
rumors of torpedoes and German
bombs.
Life preservers were pulled from
their racks, and il was some time be-
fore the captain and deckhands could
impress upon the minds of the men and
women that there was no danger and
that all that could possibly happen TO
them was a short delay while they
waited for tow.
Fog obscured the vessel from the
shore. and il was some time before her
whistles of distress received any atten-
tion. At last several persons put off In
a launch from Hoffman Island, and on
learning what had occurred returned TO
shore and telephoned TO the company in
Manhattan.
The Christmas sister ship. the
Keansburg, was at once dispatched to
the rescue. Darkness and a heavy sea
prevented the transfer of the pas
sengers to the other craft, so the Chris
tina was towed 10 the dock at Keans-
burg, n. j., where the passengers were
put ashore safely.

London, June u. - Addressing the
newly appointed commissioners on
labor unrest at his official residence
to-day. Premier Lloyd George an
nounced that the government had al
ready started o searching investigation
on the subject of profit making and
hoped shortly to make proposals di-
rected to substantially reducing the
cost Of the necessaries of life.
Referring TO the urgency of meas
ures for remedying labor unrest, the
Premier said the government was anx-
ious not only that the commissioners
investigate the causes of unrest. but
that they make their own recommen-
dations as TO the best way of dealing
with the question.
He hoped that they would be able
TO make their reports by the first week

There was an article in the papers
Yesterday in regard TO this rerent at

Ridge. The Allied victory there IS de-
clared 10 have been the result OF su-
nerior air service. The correspondent
described the way in which the ar
men worked. He said that 10000 feet
in the air there was cloud OF fast
one-man machines TO prevent German
airplanes from entering the airplane
melee; 5000 or 5000 feet up was
division of bombing machines and
reconnaissance machines, and down
close to the ground, armed with 3-incn
and machine guns, was a numerous
division of machines, destroying obser-
vation posts and stirring up machine
Gun emplacements. II states IN TINS
report that one of these ayiators was
SO low to the ground that he, with his
machine gun, killed five staff offcers
and the driver of an automobile.
Seaplane Remedy for U-Boat
an my opinion the seaplsne form OF
the airplane is to-day the quickest and
cheapest antidote for the submarine
menace. and believe that If we mad
to-day 1000 hydro-aeroplanes and avi-
ators along our coast IL would increase
the efficiency of our coast protection
200 or 300 per cent. | think that o'ooo
of them would be none too many.
an other words, / think the Things
we need TO consider in air equipment
are the meeting of the submarine men
ace. the aero protection OF our coasts
and our coastwise cities, airplane con-
VOWS for our transocean ships and an
airplane patrol of our frontiers. Our
Mexican frontier is about four times as
long as the European Western battle
front. We need a great many training
airplanes. We must have airplanes for
the army we are raising, and we have
TO have hundreds of airplanes for the
navy for scouting and to protect ships.
cit would be simple to take zone
$50 or 200 miles in width around our
entire coast and have it patrolled rap
idlv, continuously and minutely by
HYDRO -aeroplanes. Next summer, with
the increasing development in speed
and operation of the seaplane, 1t could
he made 500 miles. II we could get
hundreds of these seaplanes IN actual
practical use by active young men 1t
would enable US to perfect the sea-
plane. which we invented, TO a point
beyond any other nation
