UNDERSTANDING WITH ALLIES
 ON PRODUCTION OF AIRCRAFT

Washington, Oct. 15-An agreement under which the aircraft resources of the allied countries and the United States ore to be developed in carry ing out a joint program was arrived at during the. visit to England and France of Assistant Secretary John D. Ryan, head of the army aircraft di vision Details of the plan necessarily may not be disclosed, but Mr. Ryan said today it contemplated joint eff forts both in aircraft production and in the operation of the machines in battle.
 So far as, the operation of the ma hhines in battle is concerned, he ex- plained that the supreme commander. Marshal Foch, and the field com manders,. Generals Petain, Haig and Pershing, will continue to control the air fleets as they controlled every other element Of the armies under their command.
 The agreement, in the form of an understanding reached in a series of conferences between Mr. Ryan and his aides and the French and British air ministers and directors of munitions, contemplates that each country shall use it's production resources to the l limit in the lines along which it is best equipped to work and that the | fighting forces of ali three air services
 shall be supplied out of this produc-
 tion so that there will be no delay on
 the part of any one of the three in
 contributing it's share to the building i of a great air navy.
 | The air supremacy of the allies al
 ready is unquesioned, MT. Ryan said, 1 but without co-ordinated efforts and CO., ordinate control the centralized air fleet might be concentrated against
 American, French or British squadrons in overwhelming numbers for any short period.
 MT Ryan brought back encouraging g reports as to the service of American built aircraft at the front. He per- sonally interviewed commanders of the American squadrons both before and after the battles of St. Mihiel and Ar gonne and also talked with the pilots.
 Without exception, he said, where sev-
 eral machines for the purpose are available, the pilots select the De Haviland machine with the Liberty
 motor, built in the United States, as the machine in which they prefer to
 fight. Its performance in action has
 been fully demonstrated
 l As to the Liberty motors, MT. Ryan said, his chief difficulty with the
 French and British air authorities was to keep their demands for these ma
 chimes within the limits of the possi- bility of producing them. The British particularly have now a considerable number of machines of their own man. | ufacture equipped with American made Liberty motors in action at the front

Saturday Next to
 Be PersFling Day
To Be Devoted to Universal Effort in Behalf of Fourth Liberty Loan Gov. Hol- comb Acts on Request of Senators.

Hartford, Conn. Oct. 15.-In re- sponse to a request from senators: governors and others to make next Saturday Pershing Day, Governor Fol- comb issued the following this after, noon:
 Connecticut raised 147 per cent. of the amounts allotted to 1t uf the first, second and third Liberty loans a :o- tai of s206, ,946,S50, which the army of citizens at home has invested in Lib- erty bonds as a practical addition to the 10000 men we have furnished to the fighting force of the United States who are now on their way to victory.
 The amount called for by the fourth Liberty loan is absolutely required to finance the war. Connecticut must not only do it's part, but every Con necticut citizen should take as much of the loan as possible. This will en- courage our army and the armies of our allies.
 I therefore, designate next Satur- day, October 18th, as Pershing Liber- ty Loan Day. to. be devoted to a uni versal effort to subscribe for the fourth Liberty loan and to make our record first among the states of our union (Signed
 MARCUS H. HOLCOMB, Governor of Connecticut.

ToTA- LOSS OF LIFE ON
 TRANSPORT OTRANTO. 527

Islay, Scotland Sunday Oct IS CBy the A. P0.-According to figures com piled here today and carefully checked with army records, the total loss of life as a result of the disaster to tho transport Otranto is 527.
 These figures represent one Ameri- can officer, Second Lieutenant Bernie H. Coffman of Robinson, H., S56 Amer ican troops, 164 of the Otranto's of ficers and crew and six members of the crew of a French fishing boat.
 Up to tonight 266 bodies had been recovered. Only two were found to- day as the result of a change of the wind, which now is blowing strongly off shore, and, according to seafaring men, may sweep the bodies far out to sea. The two bodies found today were of an American soldier and a chief petty officer of the Otranto. The un- identified dead include two Asiatics.
 The work of recovering the remain ing bodies of victims of the disaster washed up on the shore of Islay Island is extremely difficult owing to the rugged coast and the tons of wreclxage which fills every crevice in the rocks.
