PRESIDENT APPEALS
TO SEAMEN TO AID
u. MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, Oct. l.-Pfs> rsed
Wilson today appealed TO all me' Le u
land or sea who have had sea sefa ,
ice, 10 give iull information ABOUT
their rating and experience in MI
ing out their draft questionnaires'
so their local boards may give them
proper classification and inform the
government where experienced sea
men may be obtained when needed.
Every seman should give to o
service the best that is in him, sA 8
the presidents call, "and he should>
not hesitate to accept deferred class
ifcation when the government mas
decided deferred classification IS nee
essary, no matter how eager he may
be to Join the fighting forces OF the
army or the navy.
"The work OF a seaman is so vital
to the conduct OF the war that It mas
become necessary for the govern
ment to provide deferred classiiica-
ton for them, in an effort to secure
sufficient supply OF skilled men.
Safety in handling transports and
merchant vessels requires not only
knowledge OF navigation, OF de-
tails OF management, maintenance
and control, but also that long eX-
pericnce with the various conditions
at sea which gives confidence, quick
Judgment and steady action in an
emergency.
NO more honorable or service
abble task can come to any OF our
people than that OF manning our
merchant marine. With an increas-
ing tonnage being put into service,
we must know where skilled men
can be obtained TO man them.

NEW GIANT PLANES
PROVE BIG SUCCESS
ARE ARRIVING RAPIDLY IN
FRANCE EQUIPPED WITH
LIBERTY MOTORS.

Washington, Oct. IA most ia.
vorable report on de Haviland
-Four" airplanes with Liberty mo-
tors manufactured in this country
has been made to Major Genera
Henley, chief OF aeronautics, by an
officer in the air service just back
from France.
The officers report made public
today, says the machines compare
favorably with the best British and
French makes. The first planes ar
rived at stations in France as early
as May l3, last, and since then, have
been coming in ever increasing
numbers. Some changes were nee
essary at first, the officer said, but
each succeeding shipment showed
better workmanship and few changes
were required.
The plane and motor has become
very popular with our pilots" said
the report. we obtained approx
imately $50 miles per hour at ground
level with one plane; and without
any spiral preparation obtained an
altitude OF 10000 feet in ten min
utcS and twenty-one seconds, full
load, excepting bombs. We were
able to loop, dive and otherwise
stunt these planes exactly as well as
we could any chaSse plane,
Air test pilots and ferry pilots
were all OF the opinion that the
plane was excellent. The French
minister OF war thought so well OF
the Liberty motor that the under
secretary OF state for aviation, NJ.
du Mesnl. informs us the French
would gladly take every motor we
could produce which we could not
use ourselves
