by business Manager w. T.. Dabncy,
OF the Chamber of Commerce. who
readily offered his services in hclpiny

pr. Wauzcr visited the aero show i'm

recently had AN interview with officials
of the War department. IIc said that
there il general expectation in WASH
ington that the country will soon lie

War department is beginning to real

able to the work and emergencies Of

stimulated the manufacture OF aero

are larger and more efficient than any
this country possesses. II is said that
tho United States is far behind in tho
manufacture" and development Of air
planes. though it was here that AN
acroplanc was first successful in flight.
Large sums have been spent in the
manufacture of air machines, but pra"-

development.

DR.. WanZer is one OF several men
interested in the organization OF an

the development of the acroplanc as
Il military and commercial utility. He
has been engaged in looking for loca-
tons in the South. and has practically
decided on Richmond. because Of its
climatic conditions. If the project
should meet with the proper support
and interest. All the money for the
proposed factory has been subscribed
the location is now all that is
quired.
DIR. Wanzcr said that the financial
hackers of the enterprise believe that
the future of the commercial aeroplane
offers great promise Of success, so that
when the military demands arc salts
fled the proposition will still be very
attractive in Il business way. ~ l.. Car
subscribers to the stock for tho enter

ing light metal for airplanes, and
believes firmly in their future as a
commercial utility.
Whether the airplanc factory is To
he located here will be decided within
the next few days More than 100 men
will he employed at nrst. and the
list viii! gradually increase TO 1000
One of the reasons that inclined Or
Wanzer to Richmond is the fact that
industries allied to the manufacture
of acropianes are situated here.

and that he was unprepared with an
insufficient number of under-sea ships
to make this force effective and was
punished for his short sightedness.
Now the officials who speak for
Germany in this country, unhesitat-
ingly announce the plan to starve out
England with a fleet Of submarines
which they estimate at between 800
and 500 and they think they cam cut
off the food supply of the British isles
completely within 60 days.
American officials are not conSinc-
ed that Germany's announcement Of
a campaign of ruthlessness reveals the
entire situation. There have been
intimations of dissension between the
Entente allies, all of which. however,
has been officially denied, and there
are other circumstances that have
come into the possession of the
American government but are not
disclosed, which give ground for pos
sibility that the new submarine block
ade may be only the forerunner of
something else equally startling,
Neither is there any assurance that
the new warfare will be confined to
changes on the seas.
The air of confience which was
openly expressed at the German en-
bassy was generally interpreted as an
indication that the Berlin govern
ment was very sure of the success of
its plans.
The new crisis, however, brings new
dangers to the very shores of the
United States, where a score or more
of German and Austrian ships have
been laid up since the beginning of
the war and where several commerce
raiders are interned. IA
Reports of ships being armed Sc
cretly for dash to sea, of plots to
sink them at their wharves or to
block American harbors by Destroy
ing them in the channels have been
under investigation for many months.
This was diplomatic day at the
state department. set occasion for
receiving Representatives Of foreingn
governments. Secretary Lansing,
however, cancelled it and those who
had routine business were taken into
conference by lower officials. The
British ambassador and the Japanese
ambassador were among the early
callers
Diplomats who asked for Secretary
Lansing were told he was very busily
engaged preparing something for
President Wilson.
