AME RIGA IN AIR
NOT FORMIDABLE,
SAYS ALLIED Filler
Winner of Victory Cross De-
cIares Germany Has Nothing
to Fear From u, S, in Avia-
ton Branch for Months,
tay noenrno JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlRsl

Montreal, Que, Jan. 11.-Germany
will have nothing to fear from the
United States air fighting forces dur
ing the coming spring because the
American aircraft program Is far
behind" its schedule, according to
Major William \. Bishop. winner Of
a Victoria cross, who addressed the
Canadian club here today. He is
credited with shooting down forty
five German aircraft.
Major Bishop characterized as ''un-
fortunate" the advertising which has
been given the United States govern
ment's aircraft program. He said
that while France would find it inn
possible further to enlarge her aero
plane fighting forces during the COM
ing half year, Germany. knowing
Americas intention, has greatly ex-
panded her flying corps in an effort
to gain supremacy in air warfare
Consequently, he declared, during the
next few months Great Britain will
have "to face the most terrible time
she has yet faced and especially from
the point of view of the war in the
air."
Americas assistance in maintain
ing allied air fighting superiority,
may be felt'' by summer, but during
the spring, Major Bishop said, "the
United States will not be factor for
the Germans to reckon with in the
air."

WAY To SEA HELD
KEY To PEACE BY
ITALIAN PAPERS
Arrangement Of Frontier Ne
CesSary Before Austria andI
Italy viii Be CaImi Pope
Pointed Path to Wilson.


Rome, Thursday, Jan. 1O,-Refer-
ring to the presidents allusion to
1talys territorial aspirations. the
Giornale d'Italia says the controversy
between Italy and Austria cannot be
settled without regulation of the vital
question of the Adriatic which involves
Italy's safety on land and sea. The
frontiers must be arranged, it adds, in
such a way as to eliminate the stra
tegic disadvantages which have pre-
sented a continued threat of disturb
ing the peace between the two ma
tions.
Claims to Have Pointed Way.
The Osservatore Romano, organ Of
the Vatican, comedies the Importance
of the presidents speech. 1t says the
step toward peach which unquestion-
ably has been made was taken along
the path indicated by the pope.
This was true of Premier Lloyd
Georges war aims speech, the Osser-
vatore Romano goes on, and still more
of President Wilson'S address, which
confirms and completes the premiers
mentioning freedom of the seas, which
the pontifical note made a condition
essential to just and lasting peace.
Further Agreement Found.
The resemblance between the pro-
grams of the pope and the president
continues, the newspaper adds in
their manner of dealing with Belgium,
Poland and the Balkans, the evacua-
ton of invaded territories and the
regulation of the French and Italian
frontiers and they also agree in re-
