Aircraft Board Working on
Program to Dominate
Fighting Lines
WILL BE DECIDING
FACTOR IN WAR
Comprehensive Plan Has
Been Worked Out By De-
Tense Council
fRy Associated Press,

Washington, June IA program of
aircraft production through which it
hoped to dominate the fighting lines
of Europe within a year has been
worked out by the aircraft production
board of the defense council and will
be submitted to congress soon with a
request for large appropriation to
carry 1t into effect.
Howard Coffin, chairman of the
board said last night that although
details would not be revealed now, the
plan was so comprehensive that he was
{. sure congress would approve it quick
ly.
For weeks Mr.. Coffin has been in
conference with the country's leading
aircraft and material makers and the
plan he will submit is believed to have
the approval of all the interests which
will do the actual construction work.
I'VE may as we'll realize now" said
Mr.. Coffin, that the domination of the
air will in all probability prove the
deciding factor. Military authorities of
all the allied nations are agreed that
unless the allies can secure a pre-
ponderance of aircraft, the war prob
ably will drag on for years.
I'VE believe now that we have work.
ed out a program which will make 1t
possible for the United States to secure
to the allies next year the permanent
hope to become an immediate deciding
factor in ending the war. Whether
this program can be carried out will
rest with congress. AS soon cas- the
proposal is placed before congress, we
shall ask the American people and
their official representatives in con-
gress for their hearty support of the
plan.
"A superiority in numbers of several
hundred thousand men on the western
front means little comparatively under
modern conditions of fighting. A vast
superiority in aircraft means the COM
plete binding Of the enemy.
I'm the struggle between Germany
and the allies the fight for supremacy
in the aid is practically even. They are
constantly struggling for the advant-
age. This is Americas one chance for
turning the scale next year. To do it
we must be prepared to spend not a
few millions but hundreds Of millions
of dollars"

Spiritual Struggle

Lisbon, N. D.. June 14.-"There is a

ments to prepare themselves for the
great conflict across the seas that is
gripping and stirring the world said
Rev. James Anderson, superintendent

1t is suggestive of the great spirit

get in touch with each other, and in
a prayerful spirit seek preparation
for the great tasks that are coming
to us in this great battle"

efficiency in every branch of church
work, and exhorted the delegates as
sembled from every section of the

gree, superintendent of Sunday schools
in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, who

ton and successful conduct of Sun

This is a very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from it before
medicine could be obtained or a ply
stefan summoned. The right way is to
have a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie

as TO be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles

Drafting of State
Policemen Raises New
Conscription Problem

Drafting of state policemen by
local boards has raised a new prob
lem for the State government under
the conscription act and according
to the latest statement obtainable at
the State Capiol the matter is one for
local boards to handle.
A few days ago one of the men
at headquarters of one of the troops
was drafted and after being accepted
was ordered into mobilization camp
and this week n local board at Pax
tang, Dauphin county, drafted an
other. Provost Marshal General
Crowder has ruled that exemption
of state policemen is a matter for
local boards, but some of the mem
bers of the local boards think the
question should go to district boards.
The State Police Department re-
Gently gave three of its men to the
United States Department of Justice
to handle finger prints and has been
cooperating with the Post Office,
Navy and Justice Departments in
roofing ont illegal wireless plants
and rounding up suspicious aliens.
