FIRST U.S.BATTLE
PLANES TORRANCE
Liberty Machines Completed
Nearly Five Months Ahead
of Schedule.
CRAFT BREAK ALL RECORDS
Secretary Baker Declares Americas
Problem Now Is to Get the Men
Each Plane Requires as
Ground Workers.

Washington, Feb. 22--The first
American-built battleplanes are en-
route 10 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 recent test surpassed all records
for speed and climbing for planes OF
that type.
Engine production, which began
month as), is now on a quantity basis
and the peak of production viii be
reached in a 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-eylinder."
Optimistic as these statements APP
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 on either side
Of the western front has not been more
than $500.
That 46 men are required on the
ground for every plane in the air. max
ing a total of 10000 men needed for
the present maximum of $3.50 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.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that had 10 he overcome in getting the
aircraft production program under way
Mr.. Baker said the great problem now
remained 10 secure the thousands of
skilled mechanics. engine men, motor
repair men. wood and metal workers,
etc, needed to keep the planes in per-
feet condition and without which the
machines turned out soon would be
useless and the flyers helpless.
AT best" said the secretary, "the
life of plane is but two months and
the engine must be overhauled after
- hours. while a pilot on a plane al
lowed 10 leave the hangers in imper-
feet condition is as helpless as a bird
With a broken wing.
Now that American battleplanes
are going overseas great increase in
the volunteering Of skilled mechanics
is both essential and expected"
American battlel ines were not due
In France under the original schedule
until July.

PERSHING AT FRONT
COMMANDER OF U. S. FORCES IN
FIRST LINE TRENCHES.
General Spends Two Days Watching
and Questioning Private Soldiers
and Gunners.

With the American Army in France,
Feb. 20.-General Pershing has COM
pleted two days inspection of the
American sector northwest of Tout. In
tin hat" with gas mask swung
over his chest in the alert position, the
American commander in chief walked
through all the first line trenches,
splashing through the mud and slip
ping on the ice. He dropped down
into the dugouts and visited batteries

envy.
In all places the general asked in
Vulnerable questions, especially of the
men, with regard to food, how they
were and how they liked conditions.
All except one cook agreed that thGy
were perfectly satisfied with every
thing. The cook told General Pershing
that he wanted some green stuff.
Throughout the inspection tour Gen
eral Pershing limped little, his ankle
having been injured slightly a few days
ago. At the batteries the general asked
the artiIlerymen the same questions as
he put to the infantrymen, making sure
that they all were contented and had
no cause for complaint,
AS the time for more active military
operations on the western front ap-
prOaches, the American expeditionary
force is widening its sphere of activ-
ity along the front lines. Not only do
American soldiers hold . sector of the
front east of ST. MihieI. but American
artillery is helping the French in
Champagne and infantrymen in COM
pany with French units are holding the
front lines in one of the most famous
battle fronts in the world.
The Germans again dropped bombs
near the place where the American
field hospital was, apparently not
knowing it had been moved. No dam
age was done.
The artillery was more active on
both sides.
Six of our men were wounded when
shell dropped into a ''cook tent"
