AFTER 2 MONTHS
AIRCRAFT PLANS
WORK SMOOTHLY.
Delay Caused by the Shifting Of
Mechanical Type to Meet
New Contingencies
PROGRAM MOVING SMOOTH
Contracts on the Aggregate Now
Exceed Appropriation Of
$40 Millions

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-The
constant altering Of plans to meet rap
id changes in air-fighting tactics in
Europe, combined with delays in get
ting materials and scarcity of skilled
labor, has put Americas great aircraft
program two months behind schedule
though it is now moving forward
smoothly. In disclosing this t
the senate military committee, Col
onel Deeds, assistant to Major Cen
eral Squier, chief signal officer Of the
army, said that not a single machine
of the exact type planned when con
gress appropriated $64O,O00.00O for an
air fleet will see service in France.
Greater Power Machines
Colonel Deeds told the committee
that the tendency was toward mach
ines of greater power and that valu'
able lessons in this respect had been
learned at the last battle about Yer
dun. He believed that the machines
now being manufactured and sent to
France not only would meet present
requirements, but would excel any
thing the enemy may produce for
some time to come.
Testimony on how many machines
have been sent over, the equipment
going with them, the number Of avia-
tors in France, or expected to go, was
left to an executive session of the
committee, and will be continued to-
morrow, but Colonel Deeds said at
the public hearing that it looks as
though we will keep the program Of
moving men and equipment to France
we'll balanced.' He promised to give
to the committee in confidence full in
formation on types Of bombs decided
upon and progress of production.
Four Types
Colonel Deeds said four types of ma.
chimes were being manufactured, ele.
mentary training, advanced training,
combat and bombing. Contracts have
been let for $3.50 of the elementary
type, first used by the students, 2,153
have been completed land contracts
had been awarded for 1000 of the adj
vanced training. Information about the
combat and bombing craft was with
held.
Contracts for the aviation service,
however, exceeded in the aggregate
the $64O,OOO,OO0 provided by congress
and are distributed as follows; $194,.
100000, on fixed prives contracts;
$3.50 100000 for those on cost plus
percentage basis, and $255,0O0,O00 in
foreign contracts with France ana
Italy.
Foreign Contracts
The foreign contracts, Colonel Deeds
said, were arranged as between gov.
ernments through an allied commits
sion, thereby escaping payments of
large royalties demanded by some pat.
entees. 1t had been found that the
training machines could be built for
Is percent less than at first planned,
but those for active service cost more
than planned because of greater horse
power.
The committee was told that con.
tracts had been awarded to IS firms
and that 400 sub-contractors were
working.

FARMERS ESSENTIAL T0C0NTINUBD
.UNDlMlNISHED FARM OPERATION
GETPREFBRENCE UNDER THEDRAFr

Topeka Hans. Feb lit is the
hope and expectation of the admins
tra;ion that farmers essential TO the
continued and undiminished operation
of farms may be given deferred elias
sifcation in the draft and that fur,
loughs may be granted at planting and
harvest season to those already in ser
vice, according to letter received
by Coy. Capper Thursday from Presi
dent Wilson: The governor had writ
ten the president urging the Through
ing Of skilled farmers at harvest time
and steps to prevent the drafting Of
farm laoorers in view Of the serious
farm labor shortage in Kansas.
President Wilson wrote in reply:
80 Under the new. selective service
regulations under which the present
classification of registrants is now pro.
crossing, in very specific terms in
those regulations it is provided that
skilled farm laborers essential TO the
continued aud undiminished operation
OF farms shall be deferred in Class
II. 1t is our preseltshope and belief
that we shall be able to raise all the
forces immediate prospect without
invading any deferred class and there
fore we can assume, think. that fu-
turc drafts Will not interfere with
your supply Of skilled farm labor.
Il also had very prominently in
mind the adyisability of furloughing
selected men during planting and har-
vesting time AID 70 this end the war
department has asked of congress at
thority to grant such furloughs with
out pay, whenever. in the opinion of
the secretary of war, the military Sit ,
aa'ion iustifies such a step.

For this reason the campaign which

IL does NOT call for the planting OF
new lands or the overworling OF old

The department experts have wise

Ia this way the department expects
