BATTLE PLANES EN
 ROUTE 10 FRANCE
AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE.

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"
 'These planes,' Mir. Baker said, "are equipped with the first Liberty motors from machine production. One in a recent test surpassed all records for speed and climbing for planes of that type. Engine production which began a month ago, is now on a 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 46 men are required on the ground for every plane in the air, making total of 115, 900 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 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 pilot on a plane al lowed to leave the hangars in imper- feet condition is as helpless as bird with broken wing.
 Now that American battle planes are going overseas, a great increase in the volunteering of skilled mechan- ics is both essential and expected"
 American battle planes were not due in France under the original schedule until July.
