BATTLE PLANES EN
 ROUTE ID FRANCE
SHIPMENT NEARLY FIVE MONTHS AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL
 SCHEDULE.
SKILLED MECHANICS NEEDED
Each Plane Requires Forty-six Men On Ground For Every Plane in the Air, Making a Total of 1f5,ooo
 Men For 2,5oo Planes.

Washington. - The first American built battle planes are en route to France, nearly five months ahead of the original schedule.
 In making this announcement Secre- tary Baker said the first shipment, al though not large, marks the final over coming of many difficulties in build ing up this new and intricate indus try"
 'eThese planes" MT. Baker said, "are equipped with the first Liberty motors from machine production. One in recent test surpassed all records for speed and climbing for planes of that type. Engine production which began a month ago, is now on quan- tity basis and the peak of production will be reached in a few weeks. On ly the 12-cylinder type is being made, as developments abroad have made it wise to concentrate on the high-pow- cred engine instead of the eight-cylin- der"
 Optimistic as these statements ap- pear, the secretary said they should not be exaggerated and should be con sidered in the light of these facts:
 That after three years of warfare the total number of planes able to take the air at any one time on either side of the western front has never been more than 2,500.
 That 46 men are required on the ground for every plane in the air, making a total of 115,000 men needed for the present maximum 2,500 planes.
 That for every plane in the air there must be two replacement planes on the ground and one training plane for every pilot who eventually reaches the front with a spare engine for each plane.
 After reviewing the obstacles that had to be overcome in getting the air craft production program under way, MT. Baker said the great problem now remaining is to secure the thousands of skilled mechanics, enginemen, mo tor repairmen, wood and metal work CTS, etc., without which the machines soon would be useless and the flyers helpless.
 At best" said the secretary, "the life of a plane is but two months and the engine must be overhauled after 75 hours, while a pilot on a plane al lowed to leave the hangars in imper- feet condition is as helpless as a bird with a broken wing.
 s'Now that American battle planes are going overseas, a great increase ics is both essential and expected"
 American battle planes were not due in France under the original schedule until July.

and the organization for enrollment Is complete. The board wants men will ing to give good days work for good days pay, and does not ask them to sacrifice present positions until called upon.
 The need is great. The shipping board has the money; the housing of men Is being arranged for; the yards are being completed. and the mate rials are available. All that now is lacking is the spirit in the nation that will send the best mechanics to the yards not to disrupt business.

Only Americans Wanted

Westinghouse Secretary Baker ask ed Congress for legislation to make only American citizens eligible for employment on submarine mine plant CTS. Because of the confidential na- ture of the work, MT. Baker said he desires to reorganize the service, put ting it completely under military con- trol with the personnel entirely Amer ican.

Sent to Ellis Island

Two enemy aliens were taken to
Ellis Island yesterday by the Federal
otficlais. One was interncd and the
ether is detained while his case is be-
ing investigated.
Adolph Schomberg is the man in
termed. He was arrested late last
night in the financial district by
agents of the Department of Justice,
on orders from Washington. The for
mIailty. Of arraignment before the
united States Attorney was waived

out delay
Just how Schomberg violated the law
and fell into the Federal dragnet could
not be learned last night. 1t was given
out that he represented firm which
does large export business with the
Philippines and it was thought that his
actlvltles there may have had some
thing to do with his internment.
Schonberg IS a German reservist
The other Ellis Island arrival was
George Bauman. German, who has his
first citizenship papers. He has been
engaged as butcher aboard steam

Appeal Board Asks
Definite Ruling on
Draft Marriages
Members Chafe Under De-
cision That Certain Newly
Weds May Claim
Exemption

Marriage as an adventure for men of
draft age fails to meet the approval
of the members of the district board
mere ihey seem to chafe under the
new ruling of the provost marshal gen
eral that certain war marriages may be
considered as ground for exemption.
In the first draft they refused to ex-
empt any bridegroom because of mar
rage entered into after May 18 last.
when the draft law was passed.
At yesterdays session the board re-
served decision on the so-called Stacker
marriage cases before it, The great
Hood Of exemption claims which have
been tled since the relaxation of the
rule resulted in throwing up the ques
ton prominently in the members
minds. AS result Of a new order, all
late marriages must go to the appeals
board. 1t was learned last night that
the board wants a definition of the reg
ulation which permits men with de
pendent war brides to get deferred
classification provided they can prove
they did not marry primarily to evade
military service.
In reply to a request from Rear. Ad-
miral Nathaniel r. Ussier for the ex-
emptlon Of all civilian employees at the
New York Navy Yard, the board de-
Ciucu tItaC 30 WnOleSale uefCrred claSSI-
tications could be made. Former JUS
tice Charles f. Hughes, the chairman,
said that each man who could prove that
he was a highly skilled, necessary en-
ploye could get discharge on industrial
grounds. and the others could probably
be readily replaced by other men,
Henry Gemuth, who is too fat to
fight, brought his troubles to the at
tention Of the district board. II was
taken to Camp Upton among the first
in the previous draft, but only lasted
three days as soldier. The authori-
ties sent me back as physically unfit,
as ! am overweight considerably. am
perfectly willing to go to fight now,
but | do not wish to be sent to camp as
before, and sent hon-~ again. 1t would
mean giving up my job and then find
ing another a few days later"
Gemuth who is feed merchant, Of
Richmond Hill, Long Island, eighs 251
pounds and is feet 10 aches in
height. The district board said it Was
powcrless to act in the case, but point
cd out that the rcgistrant would have
chance to present his case again
when called for physical examination
by his local board
