WHAT SHERMAN SAID
 OF WAR IS TRUE
Millionaire Judd Now Acting
 Corporal at Camp Devens

Sherman wildly described war in his familiar saying but the soldiers Tn France, even down to the lowest private, would express their opinion in more emphatic terms. Sople of the soldiers now in training at Camp Devens, and in other camps, bave their own ideas. Harold Lee Judd, one of the last draft detachment which left the city. probably has some notions Of his own about war.
 The change from the balnly at m osphere of Palm Beach to the blt- ing winds at Camp DevHliS- where there is now two feet of SnoW--is no snap. The change from comfort able bed to a bunk or cot in d can tonment is a big one for any man. When tho fact that in making the change a, mattress about two feet short. is thrown in, the discomforts to a soldier. whose income is report ed at s3SO0, increase. CorpCr.U Judd, who ic acting tempora rllv in that rank, is learning the disconl- forts of soldering. His temporary assignment carries with it th, rospon- sbiity of commanding q squad on guard duty and that is no easy mat to for those fresh from civilian life. Corporal Judd, however, cnjCNs his army experience
 Private Harry C. Vessels, who YVES an instructor at the High school be- fore leaving with the last draft, will probably be assigned to ;r gas com pany and may see service over there at an carly date
 Many of the last contingent sent to Camp Devcns have been ordered to other camps.

 There has been too much op- timism on the one hand, and too little knowledge of the greatness of the task on the other" was Representative Kahn's comment on the aviation sit uation.
 The War department officials agreed as to this. Were 1t not for over-op- timistic productions made before con- gressional committees and elsewhere. it is said. what the Aircraft Produc- tion board and the Signal Corps have already accomplished would be rated as an extraordinary achievement.

BATTLEPLANES IN
 FRANCE BY JULY
American Made Machines Will
 Actually Engage in Combats

Washington March 16.--AmeriCan- built battlepanes wilt be in France by July in sufficient quantity to insure adequate air protection of the sectors then held by American troops. This statement rests on the highest au- thority, and is made with full recog- milton of all failures and diSa ppint- ments that have hampered the de- yelopment of the air program.
 Figures on the aviation situation. as well as facts and figures on every other branch of the governments war preparations were laid yesterday be- fore virtually the full membership of the house military committee, as pre- Vious1y they were disclosed to the senate committee. Acting Secretary Crowell again presided at the session in the rooms of the war council at the war department, where the new policy of taking congress directly into the confidence of the executive branch of the government was launched.
 The comment of Representative Kahn of California, ranking Republi- can member of the house committed expressed the sentiment of the house members n the new policy. He said
 
 crnment on the enormous problems that face 1t. The figures revealed to the committee, the immediate, current demands of the war program, and the progress being made n meeting them. he added, made it clear that the country was still unawakc to tho enormity of it's underta king. MT. Kahn predicted that great results could be looked for from now on if the weekly conferences with the legis- latiVo committees were continued.
 It was disclosed to the committee memb bers that the aviation program was far short of what had been hoped for. Figures estimating that dehcien- cy in percentage that have been quoted, however, were shown to be wrong No such method of calcula- ton has been evolved. The actual de- lay can be figured only in point of time. The airplano production pro- gram in the United States is today substantially 60 days behind what had been hoped for by the most sanglline officials. The foreign contracts which were to have provided the initial fighting equipment for General Per shing'S air forces are still further be- hiud. There is every prospect how ever, that some of the delay WlIl De made up.
 Even should the 60 days lost time stand, however. and even though there should be no deliveries on the Euro rean contracts. General Pcrshing will rcreiIc # considerable number of Amcrican- built planes by July. Esti- mates of the time required to get a battleplane from tho fac
