Washington, D. c., Jan. with

Reason for Delay.
'The delay was due to the buying

HUGE AIR FLEETS WILlrPUT
IT THERE, SAYSABR0 CHIEF

Whereas, the greatest difficulty of
the allies has been to move their
forces fast enough to meet unexpect-
ed German attacks on weak points of
the allied lines, and to overcome the
advantage which the Germans have
of being able to transport large bodies
troops, ammunition, and supplies from
one port to another by interior lines;
and ~. +..'.
Whereas, it is evident that power
full warplanes afford the needed COM
bination of power and mobility in a
higher degree than do any other ap-
planes; and
Whereas, it is generally accepted
by the recognized authorities on aero
nautics that aeroplanes can easily be
built which can fly across the At
alantic and thereby solve the problem
of delivering large units of aeronautic
power to England, France, Italy and
Russia, without dependence on ocean
transportation, or interfering with it;
and
Whereas, these aeroplanes can con-
duct major aerial operations against
the German feet and U-boat bases, as
we'll as against German lines of CON-
munication and military industries
and forces;
BE it resolved, that these facts be
brought to the attention of the presi-
dent, the council of national defense,
the secretary of war, the secretary Of
navy, the aircraft production board,
and 10 the American public, through
the press, and that the coming con-
gress be urged tolexpand the present
aeronautical program by appropriate
ing not less than $1,000,000,OO0 for
building an emergency air fleet Of
huge warplanes, and also appropriate
$1,000, 00O, 900 to, carry out a compre-,
hensive aeronautic program of train
ing aviators and building the tens of
thousands of fighting, photography, ar
tillery and contact patrol aerOplanes;

WAR SUMMARY

Another reverse for the Teutonic
allied arms, following that effected
by the French troops in their initial
drive on the northern front in Italy,
has been brought about by the Ital-
ians in the famous Zenson loop on the
lower reaches of the Pave river.
Here the enemy has been driven to
the eastern bank of the stream from
positions he had held since the tal-
ians in their retrOgradc movement
from the Isonzo made their stand
along the western shore of the Pave.
Thus the entire right bank Of the
Piave has been cleared the lpvad-
ers, except far to the north, where
the battle line runs westward from
the stream through the hill region.
Battle Continues.

"The results of the conference, as
shown in the report, are most crafty
ing to this government, first, because
they indicate that the conferees were
inspired by tic desire to be mutually
helpful, and, second, because the
agreements which were reached when
in full operation will greatly increase

being put forth by the United States
and the allies in the conflict against
Germany and Austria Hungary.
"A summary of the results accom-
plished at their conferences, and rec

mission will indicate the value Of the

of the work considered at the confer
ence, and which are recommended in

BY ALAN r. HAWLEY,

President, Aero Club OF America.
Huge air fleets will put the fear of
God into the German heart. There
fore, the most important thing which
every American must do to win the
war is to urge congress to appro-
pirate two billion dollars for aero
planes.
AS President Wilson has stated re-
peatedly, everything that makes life
worth living to the civilized world is
at stake, and the civilized world is
looking to the United States for the
balance of power needed to win the
war. .sg.r..
The worlds strategists have
agreed that the war is to be decided
in the air, in favor of the side which
has supremacy of the air; and it is
agreed that the United States most
important contribution is to be the
contribution of tens Of thousands of
aviators and aeroplanes.
To get these tens of thousands of
aviators and aeroplanes and to carry
out the aerial program now under
way there is needed an appropriation
for aeronautics of not less than ST.,
100000 This appropriation is need
ed Immediately, and if given, will
make it possible to utilize many manu-
featuring resources now practically
idle, and produce from $4,000 to l0O,-
900 aeroplanes year hereafter
The sum of not less than $50O,00O,-
600 is needed to build 10000 large war
planes, and an equal amount to train
the crews and put them into oper-
alton and form the Emergency Air
Fleet recommended by the Aero Club
Of America at it's annual meeting, in
accordance with the following resO-
luton adopted at the meeting:

head has been in progress since last
Thursday, the Italians keeping en-
ergetically after the foe in order to
regain the position, which always has
been considered menace to Venice.
Heavy casualties were inflicted on the
enemy before he was forged to re.
cross the stream.
On the northern front the infantry
again is idle for the moment, but the
big guns of both siles are keeping up
intensive duels on various sectors,
particularly around Monte HONDA and
on the Asiago plateau. The enemy is
continuing his air raids over import
ant towns on the plain, his latest at.
tack having been directed against
Vicenza, BassanO, Castel Franco and
Treviso. Thirteen persons were kill
ed and forty.four others wounded, the
majority of them civilians. Only sinai,
material damage resulted from the
raids.
In France and Belgium.
Likewise the operations on the
fronts in France and Belgium are be,
ing confined almost exclusively to
bombardments, although the German
war office claims a further gain of
ground by the army of Crown Prince
of Bavaria over the Brit
ish south of .Marcoing in the Cambria
sector There are persistent reports
that heavy fighting is in progress be-
tween Kaledines Cossacks and Boil
shevki troops in southwestern Russia,
and that the casualties have been
heavy. No details of an authentic ma
ture have yet come through, but the
reports say the Bolsheviki have been
defeated on the southwestern front
with numerous losses of men and
guns, but that they have occupied the
important town of POltava.
Still further progress has been made
by the. British troops operating
against the Turks in Palestine north
of Jerusalem. The Turks in the fight
ing of the last several days have lost
more than 1000 men killed and $50
made prisoner. 49,.

The THIRD LIBERTY BOND LOAN
Drive begins next SATURDAY. April
9th. more particular announcement
of which was made last week through
these columns in some plate run in
that interest. The war loan bond
sales are becoming better understood
and hence more popular as they have
progressed to this the beginning of
the third stage. Consequently its
going to be easier to reach a greater
number of the people this time than
with the two previous drives, but at
the same time the effort is to be
made with all energies turned to
wards arousing flame of enthusi-
asm nationwide and cinch the popu-
larity of the movement. The plans
for advertising are better arranged
this time than before; in fact sucn is
naturally evolutionary and the prop
err steps have been better disclosed
by the work done before. Then the
organization is better perfected than
before. In this county strong or
ganization has already been worked
out for the business and active men
of the several districts of the county
and the woman S part is likewise
proceeding to that end.
