programme
"With the recent appointment of Mr..
Thayer, president of the Western Elec-
trio Company, the boards personnel
has now been completed. Mr.. Clifford
will. of course, continue in his present
capacity as director of the Council of
National Defence"
Officials of the Aircraft Board ad
mitted to-day that transportation diff
culties and other factors which have
influenced progress on the ..ir pro-
gramme during the last winter have
delayed the scheduled production from,
sixty to ninety days. Improvement of
the Liberty motor has consumed some
time in addition. However. now, it is
stated, all the chief difficulties have
been surmounted and the next few
months will see rapidly increasing pro
duction of battle planes.
In reply to an inquiry if the report
that the Aircraft Board had not vet
completed a single battle plane was
true, it was positively stated to-dav
that a number of battle planes
equipped with Liberty motors i'd been
completed and are in actual flying ser
vice. These machines. it was said. com
pared favorably with the best develop
ment of foreign battle machines.

New Method of
Issuing Casualty
Lists Defended
Relatives of Men Notified
at Once, Says Repre-
sentative Garrett

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Protests
against the War Departments new
policy of issuing casualty lists without
addresses continue to reach members
of Congress, and the subject was de-
bated to-day in the House.
President Wilson is understood to
be giving personal consideration to the
reasons for the change, and it is known
that the department mas asked General
Pershing, who suggested it at the in
stance of the French government, to
forward a full statement of the mill
ltary considerations involved, so they
may be laid before the American pub
lic., Members Of the Cabinet said after
to-day's meeting that the matter was
not discussed there.
In connection with the plan now be-
ing considered of issuing lists twice a
month or once a week, instead of dailv.
1t has been suggested that, under this
scheme, there might no objection to
giving addresses and names Of rela-
t!ves OF the men. One of the chief
objections to the old plan was the an
nouncemcnt of the dates on which the
men We're killed or wounded, thus Civ
ing the enemy exact information as
to the results of certain engagements,
In the Ho..se Representative Nc
kenzie, of Illinois, Republican, cited
the case of a Montana man whose
name, appearing on a casualty list, was
identical with that of youth in the
army from an Illinois town. He was
joined by Representatives Little, of
Kansas, and Graham, of Illinois, Re-
publicans, in insisting that names
should not be made public without ad-
dresses.
Representatives Glass, of Virginia:
Garrett, of Tennessee, and Humphreys
of mississippi, Democrats. defended the
action of the department, saying the
action had been taken by men who
knew more about the question than
members Of Congress. Representative
Garrett said the newspapers had failed
to impress on the people the fact that
the department promptly notifies the
relatives of each man whose name ap.
peared on a list.

Committee Named
To Speed Up Work
On Air Programme
Snowden Marshall Heads
Body That Will Make
Recommendations
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Air
craft Board to-day took steps to pro-
tect itself against the increasing criti-
cism caused by reports Of delay in the
airplane programme. At the suggestion
of Howard Coffin. chairman of the
board, the War Department designated a
committee of three, headed by H. Snow
den Marshall, of New York, to investi-
gate progress made on the aero pro-
gramme and make recommendations
calculated to speed up production.
At the same time the Council of Ma
tional Defence announced that Walter
S. Clifford director of the council,
would act as chief executive officer for
the Aircraft Production Board.
While officials of the Aircraft Board
maintain that progress on the airplanc
programme has been equal to that
made by other branches of the mill
tary service this opinion is not uni
vcrsally shared in Washington. Evi-
dence laid before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee only recently re-
suited in inquiries of pointed char
acter being made at the White House.
Chairman Coffin has been anxious to
acquaint the public with the progress
of his organization, it is known but he
has been blocked By the unwllngness
of the Signal Corps to disclose any in
formation regarding the development
of the air programme. No department
of the government has maintained 9
more ironclad censorship regarding ITS
activities than the Signal Corps.
The consequence has been that popu-
lar interest III the air programme has
Waned, and rumors of troubles and
protracted delays have found credence
on account of the lack of definite
knowledge. This situation has been
I brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent. it is known, and he is favorable
to the disclosure of all information
which would not be of military ad-
vantage to the enemy.
+. 1t is anticipated that the forthcom-
ing report Of the investigating com
mittee appointed to-day will be made
public and will serve to supply the in
formation necessary to restore public
confidence in the Aircraft Board.
Meantime the addition of Director
Clifford of the Council Of National De-
fence to the staff of the Air Board as
chief executive officer will relieve
Chairman Coffin of much Office routine
and will tend to speed up the admins
trativc machinery.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made by
the Aircraft Board by which w. S.
Clifford, director of the Council of Ma
tional Defence, will, beginning mme-
diately act also in similar capacity
for the board. He will deal particular
ly with the problems of organization
involved in the activities of this body

Pershing Urged Baker to Visit
American Forces in France
War Secretary Wrote President of Repeated Requests From
Abroad-Wilson Replied Trip Would Add to
Morale of Army

WASHINGTON, March IL. -S Secre
tary Bakers letter to President Wilson
asking for permission to absent HIM
self from his office long enough to
make an inspection trip of the Amerl-
can expeditionary forces in France and
visit to London and Paris was made
public here to-day, together with the
Presidents reply granting his request.
Mr.. Baker wrote the President that
.he had been repeatedly urged by Gen
eral Pershing to visit the army and in
spect ports, transportation and storage
facilities and camps. The President re-
piled that he believed the Secretary's
visit would add to the morale of the
army abroad and at home, and that his
visit would be "serviceable to all of US
to have the comparative view which
you will bring back with you"
Mr. Bakers letter follows:
February 20, 1918.
"My Dear Mr. Presidents:
81 have had repeated cablcgrams
and letters from General Pershing
urSlnS thaC l VlSlC our cEpeQlIlOnary
forces in France, and as our plans
have gone forward have come more
and moro to realize the need of an
actual inspection of ports, trans
portation and storage facilities and
camps Of our overseas army.
Personal Inspection Necessary
"Of course, we are constantly
having officers of the several armies
returning from France with informa-
tion and recommendations but they
frequently serve only to illustrate
the impossibility of securing a COM
plete view Of the situation by any
other course than a personal inspec-
ton.
"In addition to this, the relatives
and friends Of our soldiers are deeply
concerned to know the conditions
under which these soldiers live and
the environment in which they find
themselves. 1t will be of Importance

fearing for the safety of himself and
his party, persuaded the members to
descend to place of shelter in the

My. Baker and General Bliss con-
tnued their conference in the cellar,

II can give comforting assurances
as the result of an actual visit to the

gest betterments as the result of our
experience here, where great camps
have been built and most whole

vided, with the cooperation of all thu
helpful and sympathetic agencies
which the people of the country have

the war departments have now pro-
ceeded to place where l feel that
they will proceed uninterruptedly
with their task, and | can with more
comfort than would have been pos

to ask your consent to my absence

include thorough inspection of our
ports, lines of transportation and

brief visit to Paris and London.

The President replied:
"My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
81 have your letter of February 90,
and concur in your judgment that
General Pershings repeated requests
that you should visit our expedition
ary forces in France should be COM
piled with. believe that it will add
to the morale not only of our forces
there, but of our forces here, to feel
that you are personally conversant
with all the conditions of their trans
portation and treatment on the other
side, and believe that it will be SER
viceabe to all OF us to have the COM
parative view which you will bring
back with you.
