AMERICA TO LEAD
IN ARMY AvIATORS

Washington, June 3.-That the
United States will lead the world in
military aviation when present plans
are completed is the belief of the
aircraft production board Of the Coun-
Gil Of National Defense.
"France and Great Britain have
made it plain again and again that
they expect aircraft and aviators to
be one of Americas greatest contribu-
tions to success in the war;" said
Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the
board, tonight. "The government can
now say that it is actually embarked
upon the task of overcoming it's pres
ent deficiency in military aviation.
We believe that the outlook promises
quick development of the latest air
resources of America which may be
unprecedented in military history of
the world"
Student aviators are now in train
ing at the preliminary aviation

schools established in six representa-
tive engineering colleges and univer-
sites and training planes will be
ready for their use when they are
completed, the board announced to-
night. The training of about 500
aviators is expected to begin not later
than July 20.
That America will not only attempt
to outstrip the world in military avia-
ton, but will make great forward
strides in the development of under
sea boats, was asserted by Mr.. Coffin.
The board announced that an aviation
site had been selected, contracts let
and preparations for a duplicate of
the American standard two-squadron
field to be prepared in France for the
first aviators graduated from the
American fields.

100000 CUARDSMEN WILL
Be WAY TO FRANCE BY
FALL, PLAN OF WAR HEADS

Washington, June 2.-The United
States will send 10000 troops to
Europe before winter, according to
plans being worked out by the army
general staff today. Approximately
100000 will be national guarlsmen.
The gualh regiment will be given
Short period of intensive training
at their state camps and the federal
divisional encampments, and then will
be sent to France to complete their
preparation behind the lines as an
nounccd by the International News
Service last might. The entire com
mand will be under Major General
John j. Pershng.
The sending Of the guardsmen
abroad is in answer to the appeal of
France for man-power. The pressing
necessity for every soldier available
at the front if Germany is to be de-
feated has been made clear to Presi-
dent Wilson by Marshal Joffre and
others. The decision to send the
guardsmen abroad was taken, it is
stated, because the majority of them
alread yhave had training on the bor-
der, while the regular army is needed
to train the 100000 selective con-
scripts who will be ordered out early
in September.
Five Divisions.
Present plans of the general staff
call for the sending of five divisions
Of national guardsmen 70 France by

The divisions will be made up of
regiments which showed the best con-
dition while on the border. Illinois
and New York will be expected to
supply practically their whole
strength, it is said. Ohio and Ken
tucky will be called upon for heavy
draft.
