Washington, Sept. 24.-Describ
ing his recent visit to the western
front, Senator Thompson of Kan

that the general opinion abroad is
that another year will be required
to bring Germany to its knees.
America, he declared, had put pep
into the war" and started the ball
rolling towards Berlin"
Despite the criticisms in this
country of the aircraft program, he
said, planes are now arriving in
France about as rapidly as they
can be taken care Of" He branded
as false statements made in the sen.
ate sometime ago that in July only
one battle plane equipped with a
Liberty motor was in France.
The truth u.s." he declared, ode
liz cry of these planes was not eX-
pccted earlier than July /, while as
matter of fact the first Liberty
motor plane arrived, was set up
