Washington Reveals Secret That Germans Sought Whe1
Fighters in Air Were Manoeuvrcd by Officer
Ground-Aviators Talk to Each Other, Too

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-Squadrons
oe American airplanes fighting in
France up to the moment Of the armis-
tice were maneuvring under the voca!
orders OF the squadron commander,
which reached each pilot by radio tele-
phone.
News of the successful development
Of this device, hitherto military Sc
crct, though some inkling Of it had
reached the Germans juse before hos
tilities ceased, was allowed to become
public to-day by John D. Ryan, Di
rector of Aircraft Production.
"There arc some details concerning
i. which we cannot discuss yet" Mr..
Ryan said, "but the radio devices
worked out during months Of expert
ment went into actual service some
weeks ago. I have myself, standing on
the ground, given orders to a squadron
flying in the air and watched them
mannuvre accordingly. The transmits
sion of the voice is clear enough to be
heard distinctly through the sound Of
the airplane motor. 1t is in every way
the most satisfactory means OF com
municating between planes in the air
aid from the ground to planes"
Mr.. Ryan said he could not discuss
the distances over which the radio tel
New-York tribune., 1918-11-16

cphone has worked, but it is known to
be a matter of some miles.
". c. Potter, of the equipment di-
vision of the bureau, explained that
the idea Of the radio telephone was
conceived some time ago By several e2.-
perimenters. Its successful develop
ment and application to airplane equip
ment was, however, the work of the
bureaus own people.
For some months it has been pos
siblc in our Offices in Washington to
hear the planes, flying miles over the
city, talking to each other and to the
ground as they worked out and per-
fected the Device" he said
The fact that radio telephones were
regular part of American aerial
equipment has only been permitted to
become known since the capture Of A
German order to aerial squadrons de-
manding that an American plane with
wireless telephone equipment be shot
down and brought to the rear for ex-
animation.
Mr.. Ryan said to-day that the high
pressure upon airplane production had
been eased off Immediately after the
signing Of the armistice. Just prior
to that 300 De Haviland planes were
being turned out weekly and about
twenty HandleyPage bombing planes
we're being constructed weekly in
knock-down shape for shipment.

sired Serbian Soil Held
Out as Bait

LONDON, Nov. Is British Wireless
Service Eliutherios Venizelos, Prime
Minister of Greece, speaking in Lon
don yesterday, referred to conversa-
tion he had at the beginning of the
war with the German minister in Ath-
to him because he was aware of the
declaration of NJ. Venizelos that if Bull
garia attacked Serbia, Greece would go
to the assistance of her ally.
THE minister showed me the great
dangers Greece would run if she car
ried out her plan. because she would
have opposed to her not only Bull
garia but Germany" said NJ. Venizelos.
II replied that was exceedingly sorry
to hear that, but it was our duty to
60 to the assistance Of our ally and
We should carry out that duty.
"The German minister chen asked
me, if. in going to Serbia's assistance,
I was looking forward to any benefits
piled mo- He then said: But if Greece
will remain neutral, we are in posi-
tion to give her very great and sub
stantial benefits.
II asked what were the benefits Ger
many would offer US. put that ques-
tion knowing what the answer would
be, but wished it to come from him.
He replied: Germany will give you
Monastir and as much more Of Serbia
as you want
Il said to the minister; You will al
low me to translate your offer into my
own words? What you do is this: You
ask me to dishonor my signature, to
dishonor my country and to violate it's
obligations toward Serbia, and as re-
enumeration you offer me a part of the
corpse of that which I am expected to
kill. Ny country is too little to COM
nit so great an infamy.'"
New-York tribune., 1918-11-16

greater than that Of any country in
the history of the world for a similar
period.
Mr. Hurley amplifed the assertion
with this statement:
The 100 new shipyards which have
been created under the United States
Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Cor
poration have been busy day and night
There are now $4,000 employees in
these shipyards and 100000 in allied
trades.
'If with this immense force working
at top speed our ship production is
ten times less 4 year than the 2c,000,-
coo deadweight tons the world will i'm
peratively need by 1920, it is clear that
instead of being at the end Of ship
building requirements we arc only at
the beginning. What has been done
so far is only the inception Of what
we must further DO.
"But when we consider the abnormal
effects which the war had upon ship
ping it is more than probable that the
needs of the world will demand by the
end of 1920 much moro than 20,0Oo,o 900
deadweight tons.
"1n normal times the destruction Of
property is insignificant. Ships arc
not needed for the purpose Of restor-
ing cities and countries. But through
out the war the devastation wrought
had been 30 vast that whole parts Of
Europe will now have to be fehabili-
tated OR restored, and in the shortest
possible time. Vast supplies will have
to be shipped from America for this
purpose.
"Not only will villages and cities
have to be rebuilt with materials that
we shall have to send, but the demand
from many parts Of Europe upon US
will also be for great supplies Of food,
wearing apparel. iron and steel prod
ucts. lumbnr. agricultural machinery,
oils and many other products. It will
take Europe long time to recover
from the effects Of the war, and mean
while we shall have to send over a
far greater aggregate Of materials
than would normally be the case in q
given time
Before leaving for Europe Mr.. Hurley
has worked out many details for in
creasing the speed and efficiency Of the
nations cargo carriers. He pointed
out that ships would not sail in fleets,
as had been the case during the war,
since conveys were no longer required,
Just as quickly as q ship is loaded It
will sail, resulting in saving Of many
days. Also, high speed ships Will be
permitted to mako any records that
their engines will permit, instead Of

submarines. Taking the whole period
from the inception of the convoy sys-
tenn, in the summer Of 1917, to Novem-
Der 2, this year. the conveys included
about 47000,000 gross tons of mer-
chant shipping, and losses were less
than III per cent. This great result had
not been achieved without increasing
the amount Of labor devoted to Ad-
miralty construction.
When the war began England had
about 25o,000 men engaged in ship
building, engineering and repairs, ac-
cording to the Secretary's figures. The
number now was 381 900. Of these,
however, only 10000 were engaged on
merchant ship work
Loss Is Negligible
Building now had risen to the mark
of narly $4,000 tons per month, he
said, and the net loss of shipping had
been reduced to negligible figure,
the loss in September being less than
1000 tons. In short, the submarine
campaign had been beaten. The Secre-
tary said it was only beaten because
the government had devoted the labor
supply more largely to the Admiralty
than to the merchant shipping.
The output in the twelve months
ending October 81, 1913, he placed at
100000 tons Of merchant shipping
in addition to war vessels estima ed
to be the equivalent of all additional
100000 tons. With the additional
shipyard workers who would be re-
leased from the front and the transfer
OF labor from the naval yards to the
merchant yards he estimated that an
additional million tons a year could be
produced

It is estimated that at least year
will hc spent in getting the business
Of the United States in such shape that
it will be possible to resume normal
freight and passenger carrying business
with the world. But at that time there
will be an unprecedented demand for
American sailors, said Mr.. Hurley.
Another phase of the shipping bust
ness that has been worked out and will
be recommended by the head Of the
Shipping Board is the organization Of
relay crews for all OF the big ships
either on the seas now or about to be
launched. BY use of two crews it will
be possible, he explained, to reload and
send these ships Immediately after
