WAR ON SUBMARINES WITH
AIRPLANES SAYS PEARY
North Explorer Believes Machines
Could Break up u Boat Work.

Washington, June 12.-Rear Admiral
Robert f. Peary told a subcommittee
Of the senate military committee to-
day that the airplane was the cheap
est and quickest answer to the sub
marine and that If 1000 airplanes were
sent abroad they would do more to
curb the submarine menace than any
thing else that could be done. Admiral
Peary appeared in support of bill to
establish a department of aernoutics
with a place i'm the cabinet.
Lieutenant Colonel L. W. p. Rees Of
the British royal flying corps, said
the machines used by the British fly
er' lie always been superior to those
the Germans and now the Brit
sonnel also excels. British cas-
ualties have been less since introduc-
tion Of the new machines.
Airplanes could prevent landing Of a
hostile army said Admiral Peary, but it
would mean the use Of thousands Of
planes.
