UNITED STATES
 TO BUILD FAST
 PLANES OVERSEAS
Plans Underway for Con- struction of Fast-Single
 Scatter Machines.

Washington, June Refrigeration for adding fast single-seated fighting airplanes to the aircraft production in this country are under way. The ma chine selected is understood to be development of modern British pur- suit plane which has been used with great success on the fighting. front.
 Originally it was proposed to build "Spad" planes here as well as; in Europe and $3OOOO,O0O project ct this end was we'll advanced when General Pershing recommended the construction in the United States be confined to bombing planes. carrying unusually heavy machine gun equip ment and that all single-seaters be procured abroad.
 It was declared by General Pershing that the single-seated type of plane changed so rapidly that the long dis tance between the fighting front and the place Of manufacture would make it Impossible to keep the American equipment up-to-date if it was pro- duccd at home
 Many American officials still be- lieve the day of two-men duels in the air is passing with the development of faster two-men fighting machines where the observer has an all-around fire with two or four machint guns.
 Recently, however there has been a marked return at the front to the pursuit plane and this proba h'v prompted the decision to rut this type plane into quantity production in the United States.

Camp Dix, Wrightstown. \. J., June 20.-Several thousand Arkansas men are among the thousands of the troops of the S7th division, which arrived here yesterday, and settled down to camp life today for the final period Of training before embarking for over Seas.
 Maj.-Gen. s. D. Sturgis has estab- lished his headquarters in the build- ing used formerly as the headquarters of the 153rd Field artillery. and the equipment is rapidly being assembled in the quarters assigned.
 The Southerners and Westerners who came with the S7th an l the East erners from New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Delaware, trans. ferred to the 87th division, were not long in reaching the conclusion that they "are the same kind of people, /" and today were mingling as brothers in arms, all moved by the same de termination; to beat the Germans The Southerners, with their soft speech and courteous manner could easily be picked in the little knots of

They all go about their duties with the air of those who have set them selves task, and are determined to perfect themselves in every way to perform it thoroly, quickly satis- factorily. None who has seen the troopers of this division doubt for a moment that they will render good accounting when thrown inti the bal ance against the Prussians, and that the S7th will prove big weight in the scales in which the kaisers fol- lowers will be found wanting.
 The men recently from Camp Pike near Little Rock, Arkansas, were welcomed by detachments of East ern troops. who met the arrivals their
 with bands and escorted them tc their barracks. Y. M c. A. and K of c. workers are aiding greatly in bringing the soldiers from all sect. ions into closer comradship.
 The men are enthusiastic over prospects tlor early opportunity ftd "get those--Huns" the only thing in the nature of complaint being an expression of apprehension voiced by young officer from Ark ansas that "the war may be over be- fore we get a chance to get at 'em (the Huns)."

The marshars office announces that the perol for German alien enemy registration in the Second Division fixed by the Federal government for April 2l-25, will he postponed until a later date owing to the non-arrival of the necessary registration blanks and other forms required for enrolling the names of the registrants. It appears that the department having in charge the business of registering the Ger man alien enemies is not very well in formed as to the time required to com municatc with Nome,a the blanks were not mailed until February 3. AS 1t will require at least thirty days to distribute the forms to the outlying sections after they arrive, the registra- tion period was set about forty days too soon. The matter of fixing the date has now been left in the hands of
 the Marshal and the period for regis tration will be announced at such time as he blanks are received.
