appropriation, II is estimated, will con.
struct about $4,000 airplanes and twice
as many engines. At the end OF six
months, il is believed, the capacity for
turning out the machines will be limited
only by the amount of money available.
Much of the production work is now
being directed toward the manufacture
of training planes for the fields here and
for the allies. AT present type known
as the Curtiss JN4 is being used by
American aviation students. 1t reaches
speed of from sixty.five TO seventy
miles an hour A four months course
with machines of this type is planned
as preliminary to training with the faster
scout and battle planes.
Work also is being carried on for the
development Of standard types of en-
gines for scout and battle service, which
il is believed the United States will soon
turn out in great numbers. The air

fusing to give figures, but it is known

GREAT ORGANIZATION

Marvellous System on

Behind the British lines in France,
July 30 Correspondence What makes
an indelible impression on the newcomer
to the battlefront is the tremendous or
ganization back of the actual fighting
line, the miles of roadways dotted with
transport of warfood for men and
horses, shells for the guns, ammunition
for rifles and machine guns and comforts
for the wounded.
The final and most interesting link in
this vast organization is the operation of
getting the food right up to the men in

after night this goes on. After one re-
covers from surprise at the quietness
with which it is done he is bound to mar
vel at the clock-like precision of the
whole operation-all of which testifies
to the efficient organization necessary in
war like this.
The first intimation that the transport
is preparing to move out toward the
front is gathering of horses shoes on
the cobbles of French farmyard. Then
voices call out orders, water carts are
filed; horses are harnessed to the wag-

EIGHT MEN KILLED
IN LIFEBOAT SINKING
German Submarine Fired Shrapnel at the
Boats of the British Steamer Ad-
dab, Says Official Report.

London, July 80 Correspondence -
Eight men were killed and severa
wounded by the Smelling by German
submarine of the lifeboats of the Elder
| Dempster steamer Addah, which was
| torpedoed on June Is, according to an
official version of the affair. One boat
was sunk by shrapnel fire from the sub.
marine and the survivors were sprayed
with shrapnel while they were in the
water waiting for the other boats to pick
them up.
The. official narrative says that the
submarine commander went alongside
one of the Addah's lifeboats and made
use of her to send some of the crew of
the submarine on board the Addah just
before the steamer sunk. When the sub
marines crew had been returned to their
craft, the officer in command of the life
boat was ordered to move away from
the submarine.
by this time" the official statement
reads, "the boat commanded by the cap
tain of the Addah, which already was
badly smashed by one of the shells from
the submarine, was about 300 or 400
yards away from the German craft"
The submarine again opened fire on
the captains boat with shrapnel. killing
eight men and taking the boats stern
off. Even after the boat had been sunk
and the men were swimming in the wa
ter, the submarine shelled them with
shrapnel. When the German thought he
had finished everybody who was in the
boat, he then opened fire on the
chief officers boat, firing eight shraPnel.
nobody was killed, but only
holing the boat, breaking the oars and
several men, slightly.
after this the submarine commander
waved to the chief officer to 60 over to

To Put Aviation Industry
Up to Top Speed in
Six Months
ARMY OF filters
IN THE SPRING
Twenty Training Fields to
Be in Operation in This
Country

Washington, July 30-The govern
ment has practically completed pro
gram for airship construction which in

required three years to attain!
II calls among other things, for the
landing of small army of trained avi.
ators equipped with battle planes on
the French front early next SPRING.
sufficient force, it is believed to give the
allies the upper hand in the air.
Aviation students are now receiving
practical training at three flying fields,
and fourth soon will be opened. These
are at Dayton, Mount Clemens, Rantoul,
and Belleville. Twenty more fields have
been planned, and when the sites are Sc
lected they can be put in shape for use
in one month. II is said that at least
twenty fields will be in operation by
Nov. /.
About 100 American student aviators
have been sent to Canada TO learn the
art in the camps there and, in return,
Canada is to send large number of
men to the southern camps in this coun-
try in the fall. At present there are
l25 representatives of the government
in Europe studying aviation methods
and airplane construction.
Great progress has been made in CO.
ordinating the energies of automobile
manufactures and other industries which
have been called upon to divert a large
part of their resources to the manufac-
ture of engines and completed machines
This phase of the problem was met
when Congress furnished the 100000 900
asked for by the administration. With
this money in hand il is possible to
promise orders on a business basis, and
make it possible for factories to obtain
needed for the manufacture
Of engines, and be assured that they
will not sustain heavy financial loss by
any collapse of the program,
The program has been speeded up to |
such an extent that large part of the
appropriation has been eaten up already /

sounds, there is a cracking OF whips, then
another clatter ON the cobblestones and
the rumble OF heavily laden wagons as
the whole column moves out toward the
trenches.

shoot up and little sudden pricks of fame

of the lines. But not word is heard as
the two columns pass each other along
this road.
As the column going in" with the RAJ
tions moves up closer TO the lines the
star shells and boom of the big guns be-
comes more distinct. Suddenly the col
umn halts-shels have burst in the road
or on either side of il little way ahead.
When this ceases probably for only
few minutes the word is given to move on
again. The column continues to crawl
along until il reaches battered old
building beside the road and within
stones throw of the support trenches.
Here are left the supplies brought up by
this column.
The next sight is a stream of men
with picks and shovels and ammunition;
a sergeant TO see that the rations for the
different companies are placed in differ
