MAKES GOOD SHOWING
United States Has Sent $500
AirplaneS to France.
Production Is Now Limited Practically
Only by Transportation
Facilities.

Washington, Oct 81. - American
aircraft production is now limited
practically only by transportation
facilities to France.
The production of Liberty motors in
October reached 1000 a week, a goal
which had not been hoped for before
December.
Official compilations show that since
June ! approximately $500 fighting
airplanes of all kinds have been
shipped to he American forces in
France.
When 1t is realized that none of the
belligerents at any time, has had more
than $500 airplanes actually in serv.
ice, the significance of an American
production of $500 planes In five
months becomes apparent
These $500 planes included nearly
$50 heavy bombers.
Reports from all the production cen
ters show the results rapidly grow.
ing. The American forces have been
moving so rapidly that it has been
found necessary to give up some of
the transportation space which was
intended for airplanes to other mater.
ial, but in the next few weeks the full
movement of aircraft is expected to
be in swing again.
Tonight's reports showed there were
more American airplanes awaiting
shipment than could be loaded.

PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED
German Public Upset by Recent
Momentous Events.
Opinion ls Torn Between Desires for
Peace, Revolution and Con-
tInulng the War.

Washington, Oct 81. - Diplomatic
cables from neutral sources declare
that German opinion Is torn between
desires for war, peace and revolution.
The perturbation OF the German peo-
pie as a result of the law to bring
the military power under civilian con-
troll, Ludendorff's resignation and Ber-
Inns request to the Entente for armis-
tice terms, has brought passionate and
contradictory comments from the press
and public, the cables say.
Partisans Of the Democratic idea are
gathering around the government
while the junkers and conservatives
Of the old regime will strive to main.
tain their power. In addition, the ad
vices state. there are the independent
socialists who form the center of q
movement that could be called revo
lutionary, but which the more moder
ate call Bolshevist."
