To win quickly by the sheer weight of the number of our ma chimes means the sending of the mini mum number of men of the United States to the trenches.
 "We can train our men for actual war service in the air in seven months, comprising eight weeks of ground work and four months of flying at the training schools in this country and then a month of intensive battle-plane training work in France. I don't know how many will be needed. That again, depends upon von Hindenburg. But we want enough to operate in regI- ments and brigades if necessary, to make all Germany unsafe, to force her to demobilize her air forces at the front and send the men and machiHes back to protect the cities. This will blind her artillery and render it help less by depriving it Of the range ind- CTS. Furthermore, our regiments and brigades will be able to destroy all of Germany's interior lines of transpOr- tation for the movement of troops and supplies They will be able to rob the enemy fleet of the security is now en- joys at Kiel.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-''We can make the Kiel canal itself useless"
 This is the confident prediction Of Brig. General George O. Squier, who as chief signal officer of the United States army has charge of aircraft preparations. He believes that when the huge American air fleet is in redi- ness for action, the German submarine bases at Zeebruggee, and at Wilhelms- haven, as well as the Kiel canal where the German fleet is now sheltered will be in imminent danger of destruction.
 General Squirer admits that up to this time the Germans have had the best of the war. This is due to the new engines of destruction which they have introduced-the Zeppelins. the monster siege guns, and most i'm portant of all, the U-boat.
