AIR OFFENSIVE
Attacks on German Cities Due in
the Near Future.
British Officer Desires Allies to Or
ganize and Coordinate
Their Resources

New York, July 3O.-The possibil-
tiles of aerial warfare are yet far from
realization, although the Allies have
the ascendency of the air, and an
aerial offensive on a grand scale car
ried to German cities remote from the
battle line, including Berlin, is in the
realm of certainty in the not distant
future, provided the Allies organize
and coordinate their resources.
This is the conviction of Mai. Gen.
w. S. Brancker, controller general Of
equipment of. the British air ministry,
who has been in this country several
weeks In consultation with govern
ment officials in charge Of aviation.
Urges an Air Secretary Here.
Major General Brancker in a state
ment on this subject. laid strong en-
phasis on the necessity for the or
ganization of the air forces on a basis
quite independent of the land and sea.
General Brancker believes that
eventually the United States will be
obliged by the pressure of military
necessity to create a secretary of air
forces, or the equivalent, under whom
air fighting, airplane production,
equipment and personnel will function
as a separate branch Of the combat.
For the Success of the Allied cause,
he feels strongly that the quicker air
independence is established in this
country the better.

Chairman Hurley Says Fleet Is
Dedicated to Freedom.
United States Demands Commercial
As Well As Political Liberty
for Small Nations.

Philadelphia, July 27.-Commercial
as we'll as political freedom is demand
ed for small nations by the United
States. To this end she Will continue
he struggle for worldwide democracy
even after German militarism has been
crushed and the after the wal trade
competition begins.
This message of Chairman E. N.
Hurley of the United States shipping
board was given to Latin-American
diplomats from Washington at the vast
Hog Island shipbuilding yards near
here.
Mr.. Hurley declared that tine emer-
gency fleet now being turned u is
dedicated to freedom, that after it has
served it's immediate purpose of de-
feating the common enemy it will be
equally effective as an instrument Of
an enduring peace. 1t should bring
good to all the Americas, he held.
President Wilson has demonstrated
to the world that the people of the
United States are not fighting for the
permanency of their own liberties
alone, but for the liberties of civiliza-
ton everywhere" he said.
