FORECASTS WONDERFUL
 AlRPLANE DEVELOPMENT
New Machine as Powerful as a Whole Squadron of Present Day Aircraft.

Paris, July 29.-"Airplanes, carrying q hundred men and equipped with en- zines equal in power to those in medium sized steamship, will be de- veloped within three years" said Gian- nj Caproni. inventor of the Caproni bombing planes, in an interview to- day.
 The bombinb planes now in hse,' Signor Caproni continued. Twill be mere dwarfs. compared with those to be developed. There is a surprise in store for the Germans. Instead Of the forty and fifty machines necessary to start cn bombing expedition it will be possible to do the same work with a new machine as powerful as the whole squadron"
 The new machines will be much more efflcacious and will prove great saving in operation. A trip across the Atlantic could be accomplished with the present day machines during July, ] August and September, and probably October. The weather situation would 1 be unfavorable during the other months of the year. Heavy fogs make l aerial navigation impossible Avia- = tors are unable to guide themselves in a fog as it makes everything black. A trip across the ocean at this time l 1 New York, the Azores and Portugal.
 ''The development of an aerial code similar to the maritime code will be necessary before there can be genera aerial navigation. There must be in ternational signals like those at sea aerial laws and a whole volume o. regulations for aerial transportation
 'The quick development of larger machines is inevitable. At the begin ming of the war the largest bombing machine was of 100 horse power. Nov the largest bomber is of 1000 horse power.
 "The Liberty motor will do. w i want them now in large quantities. have seen them work and they ar satisfactory for bombing machines Finer engines made with much intri. cate and specialized parts. like { watch, cannot be made in quantities but the Liberty motor can. which il a big advantage.
 "War of the future lies in the air for when the big commercial plane are developed they can easily b. turned into fighting machines witt powerful offensive propensities Eng land was able to defend herself wit a large navy but it will be necessar. in the future for nations to have larg aerial forces.
 "Battleships will be no match fo the new aerial machines which vii Irevolutionize warfare both on land an sea. The activities of the fightin forces will be transferred to the ail Armies and navies will be unable t battle with the immense bombing ma chimes of the future.
 'The world will look to America fo great developments in aviation be cause she has unlimited resource. while European countries are impov erished by long years of desperatio and destruction. America will manu facture large commercial machines They will be speedy and able to carr a hundred tons instead of a thousan pounds as now"
 Signor Caproni is in Paris on gov ernment business He expects to visi America probably after the var. Hi whole time is now devoted to wa purposes. He is not developing com mercial machines.

WHY U-BOATS ARE
 NOT SINKING TRANSPORTS
Reason Given by Chief of German Ad.
 miralty Staff.

Amsterdam. July 29.-The chief of the German admiralty staff, Tdmiral Won Holtzendorff. has explained to the Cologne Gazette to the best of his ability the reason why German U- boats are not sinking American transports.
 He says that owing to the many points of debarkation that are at the disposal of the Americans from the north of Scotland. to the Mediterra- mean, the irregularity of the coming of the transports and the strong de- stroyer guards which accompany them, it is inexpedient for the U-boats to turk off all these harbors on the chance of getting a shot at them. Th. real object of the U-boats. adds the admiral, is to reduce enemy cargo space, for on this depends the abil- ity of the allies to continue the. war.
