EXPERTS ON AERIAL ORDNANCE
OF u. S. ARMY SET TO WORK
TO DEFEAT GERMAN TANK
AlRPLANE.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Experts on
aerial ordnance of the United States
army have set to work with increased
yigor and determination on plans for
the construction of a type of aerial bat
tleship to defeat the German tank" air
plane OF the kind which fought Major
Raou Lufberry, the famous American
ACE" and sent him in his machine to
the ground in flames.
Experts in the war department who
deal with ordinances in is connection
with aerial. work know most of the
particulars afgethe. makeup of the Ger
man aerial tanks and have been at
work for some weeks preparing for the
manufacture Of an american machine
which will surpass the German innova-
tiGn in its ability to lombard an eilehly
plane and protect its occupants from
harm, it was stated today by an assist
ant TO John p. Ryan, in charge of air
plane production.
What the American experts have in
mind is a machine With srmor half an
inch thick, which viii make the ma
chine weigh about 4.5o0 pounds. and
motor of 800 horsepower to drive it at
a greater speed than is at present being
secured 10y the German airplane tank.
It. is planned to equip this new plane
with a high powered gun OF calibre
small enough to keep down its weight
but which will pierce the three-fourths
inch armor of the German air tanks.
Word reached the war department
several months ago, ii was said. that
the Germans were making an aeriaI
tank which would Withstand construc-
tion by any of the planes now in ser
vice By America or the allies, and
American ordnance experts set to work
then to design an American tank"
which would conquer it.
Designing the armament and guns for
it was an easy task. But making a
motor of sufficient power to carry it,
and at a greater speed than the German
tank. and at the same time have it so
light and its weight so well distrib-
uted as not to upset the machine wnen
it became necessary to do stunts"
presented problem that has not yet
been solved.
None of the several types OF Liberty
motors or the other motors turned out
for the government las sufficient
power to support and propel rapidly
the weight Of the type of airplane nee
essary to defeat the German tank said
this official. We have made consider
eble progress towards this end SINCE
we started on the task some months
ago and hope to accomplish our pur-
pose before the Germans are able to
place many of their aerial tanks in ser
vice.
r.The German aerial tank is so over
burdened with armament that II can
only fly about forty or fifty miles an
hour and has to be operated very care
49,
officer continued. THE allied planes
can circle round and round il in its
flight and pepper 1t literally with ma
chine gun fire which appears to do but
little harm unless the propeller is
because the occupants are pro-
tected by three quarters Of an inch OF
armor and the frame work of the wings
is built to Withstand ordinary machine
gun fire"

Sen. Thompson Reports

Washington, Sept. 2A-Dcscrib-
ing his recent visit to the western
front, Senator Thompson, of Kan
sas, democrat, told the senate today
that while i'll some quarters, there
is a belief that the war can be ended
this year, the general opinion abroad
Is that another year will be required
to bring Germany to her knees.
America, he declared, chad put pep
into the war" and started the "ball
rolling toward Berlin"
Senator Thompson said he op-
posed "makeshift, compromises. or
halfway peace and declared it
must be final and conclusive and
destroy forever kaiSerism and mil
itarism throughout the world" Not
alone in man power and in artillery
do the allies predominant, but they
have complete superiority in the
air. Despite the criticisms in this
country of the aircraft program. he
said, planes now are arriving in
France about as rapidly as they can
be taken care of. Senator Thomp-
son branded as false, statements
made in the senate some time ago
that in July only one battle plane
equipped with Liberty motor was
in France.
The truth is, he declared, deliv-
cry of these planes was not expect
ed earlier than July first. while as a
matter of fact, the first Liberty mo-
tor plane arrived, was set up com
plete and christened May IS, and
they have been arriving over there at
the rate OF five or six per day ever
