Washington, Feb. 22.-The first
Amcrican-built battleplanes are en-
route 10 France, nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement on
Wednesday Secretary Baker said the

many difficulties met in building up
this new and intricate industry
These plnncs," Mr.. Baker said, are
equipped with the first Liberty motors
from machine production. one OF them
in a recent test surpassed all records
for speed and climbing for planes OF
that type.
Engine production. which hogan
month ago, is now on quantity basis
and The peak Of production will be
reached in few weeks.
"Only the tWclve-cylinder type Is be
ing made, as developments abroad
have made it wise to concentrate on
he high-pOwcrcd engine instead OF the
cight-cylindcr."
Optimistic as these statements ap-
pear, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be con
sidcrcd In the nght of these facts:
That after three years of warfare
The total number Of planes able TO take
Ihe air at any one time on either size

than 800
That 46 men are required on the
ground for every plane I'm the air, max
ing total of 10000 men needed for
the present maximum of $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 many obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting the
! lrcraft production program under way
Mr.. Baker said the great problem now
| remained to secure the thousands or
/ skilled mechanics, engine men, motor
repair men. wood and metal workers,
( etc, needed TO keep the planes in per

machines turned out soon would be
useless and the flyers helpless.

life of II plane is but two months and
The engine must be overhauled after
- hours, while pilot on a plane al

is both essential and expected"
American battlepIanes were not due

until July.

PERSHING AT FRONT
COMMANOER OF U. S. FORCES IN
FIRST LINE TRENCHES.
General Spends Two Days Watching
and Questioning Private Soldiers
and Gunners.

With the AWerican Army in France,
Feb. 20-General Pershing has com
pleted two days inspection of the
American sector northwest of TOul. In
Il "tin hat" with a gas mask swung
over his chest in the alert position, the
American commander in chief walked
through all the first line trenches,
splashing through the mud and slip
ping on the ice. He dropped down
into the dugouts and visited batteries
busy hurling iron rations" at the en-
emy.
In all places the general asked in
Vulnerable questions, especially of the
men, with regard to food how they
were and how they liked conditions.
All except one cook agreed that they
were perfectly satisfied with every
thing. The cook told General Pershing
that he wanted some green stuff.
Throughout the inspection tour Gen
eral Pershing limped a little, his ankle
having been injured slightly few days
ago. At the batteries the general asked
the artillerymen the same questions as
he put to the infantrymen, making sure
that they all were contented and had
no cause for complaint.
AS the time for more active military
operations on the western front ap-
proaches, the American expeditionary
force is widening its sphere of activ-
ity along the front lines. Not only do
American soldiers hold n sector of the
front east of ST. Mihiel, but American
artillery is helping the French In
Champagne and infantrymen in com
pany with French units are holding the
front lines in one of the most famous
battle fronts in the world.
The Germans again dropped bombs
near the place where the American
field hospital was, apparently not
knowing 1t had been moved. No dam
age was done.
The artillery was more active on
both sides.
Six of our men were wounded when
n shell dropped into "cook tent.

SECOND DRAFT CALL SOON.
Number to Be Summoned Not Yet
Determined.

Washington, ID. c. While war de-
partment officials Tciterate that no
date has definitely been fixed for the
calling of the second draft OF the ma
tional army, all available outward in
dicatons would seem TO point to some
time during the month of April, or at
the latest early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equipping and
housing the men. II is no military
secret that equipment and supplies
for men of the second draft will be
come available soon after April |, and
careful observers look for the first
increments TO be called soon after
ward
The number of men to be called in
the first increment has not yet been
determined because of the question
of housing them has not been disposed
Oi. There will be room for some OF
them in camps and cantonments now
occupied by troops, and it is possible
that additional cantonments may have
TO be provided. Ii Is also possible
that some of the national guard camps
may be used during the period. This
phase of the subject is being given
careful study, but nothing has been
decided.

They Are Aiding the Count

New York, Feb. 19.-The shipyard
strike. which threatened to Tie up the
entire shipbuilding program of the
United States on the Atlantic coast,
has been ended, at least temporarily,
by the personal appeal of President

Carpenters and Joiners telephoned to
all local officials, asking them 10 have
the men under their jurisdiction back
at work at once, and wired union ofil-
cials In Baltimore and other places that
he wanted the wish of the president
of the United States complied with i'm
mediately.
Washington. Feb. 10. - President
Wilson has telegraphed William L.
Hutcheson, general president of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, that he can see nothing TO be
gained by comforting with him person
ally about the strike of shipyard car
penters until he has accepted and
acted upon the principle that in the
present circumstances of the nation
no body of men has the right to strike
until every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit.
The presidents message was sent
In reply TO one received from Hutch
eson saying he had been unable to
reach an understanding with officials
of the shipping board but felt that if
given an opportunity to lay the mat
ter before the president Il solution
