FIRST u. S. PLANES
ON WAY TO FRANCE
Liberty Machines Completed Months
Ahead of Time-Many More
Are To Follow.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The first
American-built battlepanes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement on
Wednesday Secretary Baker said the
first shipment, although in itself not
large, marks the final overcoming OF
many difficulties met in building up
this. new and intricate industry"
These planes" 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 began
month ago, is now on quantity basis
and the peak of production Will be
reached in few weeks.
only the twelve-cylinder type is be-
ing made, as developments abroad
have made it wise TO concentrate on
the high-powered engine instead of the
eight-cylinder."
Optimistic as these statements ap-
pear, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be con-
sidered in the light of these facts:
That after three years Of warfare
the total number of planes able to take
the air at any one time or either side
of the western front has not been more
; than $500.
That As men are required on the
ground for every plane in the air, max
ing a total of $4,000 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.
Nov that American battleplanes
are going overseas a great increase in
the volunteering of skilled mechanics
is both essential and expected"

M'ADOO WILL MOVE FOOD
Asks Hoover to Name Location of Sup
plies and He Will See They
Are Hauled.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Differences
between William G. McAdOo, director
of transportation, and Herbert Hoover,
food administrator, over the reason
for the delay of food shipments to the
coast, reached a new climax on Fri
day. Mr.. McAdoo, in letter to the
food administrator, called on him to
show where the food was. The letter
reads.
Dear Mr.. Hoover:
"You are, as understand it, the sole
purchaser in this country, of food sup
plies for the allied governments. You
must, therefore, know the location of
the food supplies which you from time
to time purchase and the ports in this
country to which you desire such sur
plies shipped. If you will notify me
from time to time of the location of
the specific supplies and the port or
ports in the United States to which
you wish to have the supplies trans
ported, | will guarantee the necessary
transportation, subject alone to inter
ruptions from billiards and floods.
81 wish to reassure the country by
saving that so far as transportation is
concerned, there is no danger of suf-
fering from a serious food shortage in
the eastern part of the country.
Cordially yours,
'sW. G. M'ADOO."
