situation win regard to airplanes is
being made the subject of a special
inquiry, by board appointed by
President Wilson, as a result Of stOr-
les, to the effect that our airplane pro
duction program has broken down
hQpelessly and that we can render the
allies no assistance in air lighting in
1918.
The report of this board will not be
forthcoming for several weeks, but
this can be said:
The number of airpianes turned out
from American factories in the year
since we entered the war is ALMOST
50rPER CENT GREATER THAN THE
TOTAL NUMBER or MACHINES
GERMANY HAS TODAY ALONG
THE WHOLE western front and is
considera greater than the total
combined number Of the French and
English along the battle line.
The vast majority of these planes,
however, are training planes. 1t is
necessary to produce them first, and
they have been produced first. To
have conferred production on comba,
and bombing planes, requiring trained
Eers before we produced the planes,
on which to train our aviators. would
have been childish.
To-day every aviation school has its
full quota OF planes and planes are
actually going into storage against
future; requirements.
With regard to combat planes, pro.
duetion is approximately 70 days be-
hind schedule. That does not mean
sogtmuch that the airplane production
division has broke down as it does
that, in the exuberance and enthusi
asm inspired by the great project up.
on,which it embarked, it set for itself
a schedule impossible to attain.
Also, the combat planes which are
today being turned out are not the
types ,of combat planes upon which
the original schedule was based.
Changes have made them more pow
erfrl planes, equipped with more
powerful motors, built to attain great
err speeds and carry heavier burdens.
These improvements, every one OF
them OF immense Importance and die
tated by experience in actual fighting,
naturally caused some delays.
For example, the Liberty motor
with which our fighting planes are be-
ing equipped is not the identical mot
orfannOunced last Fourth of July. That

men the Huns were stopped. The Gel.

we had to stop them with clubs and

In speaking Of the fighting that took
place in the beginning of the war
Lieutenant MacQuarie SAID that the
Germans had disregarded all fair play
and resorted to the foulest kind OF
fighting they knew.
'They would flood the battle field
with poison gases and then with

it, s
Aren't you Americans mighty glad
to fight such a fighter?" asked Lieu

In the same connection he pointed
out that there was an English Tom
ME who had been wounded and that
the Red Cross did not dare to go out
and help him because the English
were not fighting the Beers or the
Turks but the Germans. a
In speaking of the work that his
artillery was doing in France he said
that it was his daily task to observe
the effect of artillery fire.

that not more than $4,000 would be
needed, but late applications brought
the total up to the limit. County
Agent J. NJ. Brander has been fortu-

contracted for large amount OF feed
in St. Paul at favorable prices. The
