NEW AMERICAN PLANE
EXCEEDS ANY IN SERVICE

Washington, Jan. 31.-Constant al
tering of plant to meet rapid changes
in air fighting tactics in Europe, COM
bined with delays in getting material
and scarcity of skilled labor, has put
Americas great aircraft program two
months behind schedule, although it
is now moving forward smoothly. In
disclosing this today to the senate
military committee, Colonel Deeds,
assistant to Major Squier, chief sig
nal officer of the army, said that not
single machine Of he exact type
planned when congress appropriated
.$640, 100000 for an air fleet, will see
service in France.
Colonel Deeds told the, committee
that the tendency was toward ma
chimes Of greater power and that val
liable lessons in this respect had been
learned at the last battles about Yer
dun. He believed that the machine
now being manufactured and sent to
France not only could meet present re-
quirements, but would excel anything
the enemy may produce for some time
to come.
Testimony in how many machines
nave DeeH sem over, Ine equipment
going with them, the number Of avia-
tors in France, expected to go was
left to an executive session of the
committee and will be continued to-
morrow, but Colonel Deeds said at the
public hearing that it CLOCKS as
though we will keep the program of
moving men and equipment to France
we'll balanced" He promised to give
to the committee in confidence full
information on types of bombs decid-
ed upon and progress of production.

VATERLAND WITH
AUGMENTED PACE
NOW TRANSPORT

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary
Daniels, discussing the dispatch from
the American headquarters in France
regarding Communicated German
ships being used to transport Amer
lean troops abroad, disclosed yester-
day that between $4,000 and 100000
tons of former enemy shipping now is
actively engaged augmenting the ex-
peditionary forces and maintaining
their supply.
The Leviathan, formerly the Water
land, is capable carrying up to 49,
900 troops in voyage. Mr.. DAN
iels said, but 5000 was considered the
largest number which could be COM
fortably accommodated. In connec-
ticn with the repair of the Leviathan
it was learned that alterations made
by American engineers resulted in the
increasing of several knots in her
speed One instance Of Improvement
over the work of German shipbaild
ers was in the Distribution of steam
system which was found to be SO in
efficient that a large part Of he boiler
power did not reach the engines.
The greatest single factor which
operated for the quick return to SER
vice of the German ships was the use
Of new methods of welding by the en-
gineers assigned to repair damage
done the ships engines by their Ger
man crews. These permitted the re-
pair Of damaged engines without the
necessity Of removing the heavy parts
and actual tests were said to have
proven that these weddings are
stronger than those made under old
methods.

Ford 10 Manufacture
Powerful Submarines

Washington, Jan. 81. New Subma-
rine fighters of a powerful type are
about to be turned out in the United
fy.ng today before the house naval
committee on the naval appropriation
bill, Secretary Daniels authorized the
statement that contracts for several
scores of the new craft have been
placed with the Ford Motor company
of Detroit. He described them as
half way between a destroyer and a
submarine chaser, 200 feet long and
equipped with latest discoveries for
combating submarines.
All parts of the ships except the
engines are to be fabricated in Detroit,
and the parts shipped to the seaboard
where they will be assembled. Mr..
Daniels sad that deliveries during the
coming summer are assured.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers now
in use, including those of the 11O-foot
class. They will have steam power
with a greater radius of action, will
be seaworthy and VII be able to carry
heavier armament. 1t has developed
that the latest German submarines are
equipped with guns that out-range
those of smaller chasers and even of
some merchant ships.
In connection W tn Mr.. Daniels re-
newed recommendation for large in
crease in both temporary and perma-
nent -enl sted personnel of the navy,
it was learned that plans have been
approved for enlarging the Pelham
Bay, N. Y, and Norfolk, Va, training
stations. Five thousand men are now
at Pelham Bay and $4,000 at Norfolk.
No increase is planned for the Great
Lakes, ILL.,, camp.
Secretary Daniels said that the navy
now has $4,000 men under instruction,
and with the recommended increase
will have enough men to supply crews
not only for the entire naval construc-
ton program as now contemplated,
but also for the needs of merchant
ships which are to be placed under his
supervision.

Sanborn Enterprise, Jan. 81. - For
foot among the farmers and stock
raisers of the country tributary to San
born, tending toward the organization
of a Mutual Live Stock Shipping AS
ISOLATION, which eliminated in a meet
ing recently held in the city hall in
Sanborn, when a board of directors
was selected and officers elected, and
the final organization of the associa-
ton completed.
Another meeting, of the association
will be held soon, notice of which will
be given.
Following is the board of directors {:
J. P. Anderson, Math Kronebusch,
Albert Gulmon, Frank Hesch, H L.

Jas. Brimer, David Fleming.
The officers are IS follows:
President, J. P.AndersOn; vice pres
ident. Math Kronebusch; secretary
and treasurer, Albert Gulmon; man
ager, Albert Gulmon
The object of the organization is
that by cooperating the producers may
control their own stock and be mutual
~ benefited by handling their own
shipment instead of dividing the pro-
fits with a middleman. Those having
stock ready for shipment will notify
the manager and when sufficient num-
Der of cattle or hogs have been report
ed the manager will notify the owners
to deliver them at the local yards.
Each shipper will stand his share Of
the freight charges and receive his
pro rata share of the receipts.

MEN IN TRENCHES
GROW OPTIMISTIC

With the American Army in France
Jan 31.-Mail is now being delivered
In the American trenches and gun
pits just as if the men were back in
billets. Letters for the return mail
to the United Stateep are coming
with equal regularity. So, If the rel
atives and friends back home get let
tcrs in mud-snIeared envelopes, writ
ter Oh mud-spattered paper, thef r
will know that it is more than likely
these letters were placed together
where the American and enemy guns
roar internationally through day ali
night.
The mail service has been arranged
by the army chaplains, who see to
it that the coming letters get to
those to whom they are addressed
and the outgoing mail gets to the
army postoffice as soon as possible.
The army censors say that for the
NOSE part the men now in he
trenches write to their mothers. The
general tone of ali such letters,
which indicates the high morale of
the men in the line, is,
Don't worry about me - I'm all
right Food is good and l am feeling
fine"
1he censors, say that there has
been remarkable change in some Of
the letters of the men who the first
time they were in the line wrote
home:
This may be the last letter you
receive from me-"
Commenting on this one of the cen
sOrs said:
Il have not seen a letter like that
for so long that have forgotten what
