MUST OUTwIT GERMANS

WAsHINGToN, July 25.-It is the deter
mination OF the allied Governments to
enter Germany by the air route. In this
programme the United States proposes
to share to the utmost Of it's ability.
This was the statement made to-day
by Brig Gen. Squier. in response to an
inquiry as to the number of air ma
chimes this country would furnish. He
was certain the ultimate invasion Of
Germany would come FIRST through the
instrumentality Of -aeroplanes. How
many machines and airmen this coun-
try would provide he could not say.
The United States is going to pro-
vide enough machines TO make itself
felt in putting this programme through"
he said. This is not saying we will
construct $4,000 aeroplanes. or !, ,ooo, 900,
or ten, or a dozen. II knew how many
machines we would or could construct
in year I wouldn't tell because this
would be telling Won Hindenburg. and
he would thank us for the information
Plans Subject to Change.
"of course the public wants to
know what we are going to do with the
$64O,0O0,000 which Congress has ap-
propriated for the aviation service. Well,
IT'S safe to say we will spend that money
and probably much more OIL the air
route into Germany. That Is about all
we are going to say.
The very spirit of warfare is shift,
change. impermanency. A General on
the field Is working against a hidden foe
whose science and wit are constantly
employed for the wreckage OF that Cen
erals plans. How. then, could say IL
would what Americas aviation pro-
gramme will be for the next six months
or year? II you will show me Won
Hindenburg's provision for air attack
during the Coming winter and spring.
then might divulge a few Yankee plans
to counter Il
People who are so cocksure about our
determination to build $4,000 aeroplanes
seem to be inspired with the notion that
aeros are all made on the same pattern,
turned out OF the factories as alike as
two cubes OF sugar.
Must Outwk Germans.
''As a matter OF fact. aeroplanes vary
in cost between $4,000 and SIS, 900, and
comprehensive aerial programme must
include everything from simple school
machine to a flying dreadnought. New
inventions are continually being tried
out. new appliances and models must be
installed In order to keep up with the
times-or a little ahead Of them. The
German General Staff isn't going to let
things remain at a standstill over here,
and we may be called ON to revise our
whole system in order to wreck theirs
That is war. which, as have explained,
Is the most elastic thing in the world.
"A recent cabled report quotes the
German commander OF aviation as say
ing American avictors would fail. partly
through lack OF courage That German
obviously has never encountered an
American fiier In action"
