DREAM IS
DISSIPATED BY COFFIN
Impossible to Build, Equip
and Maintain Hundred
Thousand Machines

Washington, Jan. 12.-The dream of
100000 United States airplanes within
a year is-only dream.
Chairman Howard Coffin of the air
craft production board, breaking the
silence about aircraft progress in this
country, advised today that such pro-
gram in so short time is impossible,
involving as it would the use of per-
sonnel Of 100000 men, an unworkable
transportation problem, and a housing
question in Europe of tremendous pro-
portions.
Personnel and shipping bar the path
to such a realization. Between 40 and
so men in auxiliary services are needed
per plane, and with shipping in the
shape it is, their transportation and
maintenance would be impossible.
However, the aircraft program is well
on the way toward realization.
Coffin officially revealed that Am
erica S "a training stations are full,
while American flyers are getting ad-
vanced training abroad; that materials
have been internationally standardized;
that thousands of American aero-mech-
anics are being put into actual service
with the allied forces; that production
of standardized training machines will
be in excess Of needs of the program by
January 20-that thousands Of aircraft
have been ordered abroad to supply
American flyers up to June 1918, while
advanced training planes will begin to
be delivered within ninety days suffi-
ciensly so that advanced training plans
fer this country can be accomplished.
Ii the business end, a systematization
has been accomplished and plans for
production are based on most economical
lines-that is, quantity production by
Zig plants.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-The center of the
storm which has been sweeping across
the country for three days expanded
during the night and today extended
from the upper lakes region to the st.
Lawrence valley and southwark to the
Atlantic seaboard.
The accompanying snow, wind and
low temperatures had combined to
paralyze transportation and cause in
tense suffering. Cities were marooned
and faced serious fuel and food short
ages. Tieup of local traffic prevented
delivery of coal and milk Many
deaths were reported and scores of
persons suffered from frostbite.
Weather bureau Officials declared
the intense cold would continue thru
out the country until Monday, when
there would be slight moderation
in the Missouri valley and plains
states This they said, would gradual
ly extend to other parts, but no actual
return to normal temperatures is yet
in sight.
The weather bureau received reports
from Atlanta that torltadoes had
swept eastern Alabama and central
Georgia, killing a dozen persons and
injured hundred. Communication
with that section has since been cut
OF and confirmation is lacking.
The zero area extends from the Ohio
valley northward into Canada and
from Cleveland westward into the
plains states. The cities reporting the
lowest temperatures in the country to-

Instead of going into cantonment

said Senator Chamberlain, "but your
general statement is calculated to leave

they were short several thousand

country into a false sense of security.
''The country is entitled to feel Sc

"The country is entitled to know

Baker at once asked Assistant Secre-
tary Crowell who was present to order
General Goethals, quartermaster gem

Camp Sherman for an immediate re-
port on clothing conditions there.
"To have the commanding officer of

Crowell, who four weeks ago visited
Camp Sherman, to tell what conditions

"Ninety-five percent of the men full

LIFE after MURDER OF.
HIS -FOUR COMRADES.
Suicide Writes Last Chapter
In One Of BlOOdest Crimes
Ever Committed

Camp Funston, Kansas, Jan. l2.-
The last chapter of bloody story of
murder, robbery and suicide was writ
ten this afternoon when Captain Lew
is Whistler, company E, 354th infan-
try, committed suicide at 2 O'Clock by
shooting himself twice in the head,
He used a regulation service rifle
The first bullet was fired into the
left cheek but glanced from the elbow.
The second bullet entered below the
right eye and went through the brain.
Captain Whistler left note ad-
dressed to a woman whose name is
withheld by the authorities. 1t reads:
81 have been thinking of commit
ting suicide for a long time, but |
have never had good reason. Yester-
day / went out and made myself a
reason.
Captain Whistler was in his office
in the company barracks at the time
of the shooting. Where he had washed
himself last night was much blood A
table in the room was smeared with
blood and two towels were blood soak
ed where he had wiped his clothing.
Whistler borrowed two hatchets
from the supply company yesterday at,
ternoon and this afternoon attempted
to borrow two more. Whether he in
tended to commit further murders, tho
