ENGINE BUILT TO FIT SIX OUT
OF SEVEN TYPES OF PLANES.

Dayton, Ohio, May 27.-Airplane
towns like these are sufficiently re-
moved from Washington to express
their free and unrestrained opinions
about amateurs in the signal corps
who NEEDLE and delay things and at
the same time give an unprejudiced
view Of the Liberty motor and our av-
iation program.
Take for instance one little thing
that illustrates how far ahead OF
Washington the Dayton community
is. In the national capitol they are
arguing about things that happened
last December and January and are
properly agitating over u~nexcusable
delays--an agitation that has helped
to get decisions made and sp eed ap-
piled, but out here they are expert
menting and looking ahead in the hope
that some new devices ano new types
of machines may be developed that
will supplant the present orders and
beat anything the German has.
BRITISH FEATS TOLD.
There is the low flying airplaine, or
Contact patrol" which is exciting the
inventive impulses of the engineers.
Returning officers tell gratifying
tales of how the British aviators, fly
ing low over the German lines, creep
close to the ground that the anti-air-
craft guns couldn't reach them, raised
real havoc with the enemy infantry
and communications.
This suggests Immediately a low
flying armored car. The germans
have made their appearance with
something Of this kind which the Am
orleans think can be bettered by the
Entente.
NEW IDEAS DAILY
So the contest goes-every month
every week, every day, brings new
ideas and new conditions, and the
side that does a little anticipating has
it on the other side by a good deal. In
a nutshell, that is what America tried
to do with the Liberty motor-to an
anything Germany had, such an effort
~provements.
Obviously if America could turn out
d HfolOT CnaC WOulQ De suitable IN all
types of PLANES and be better than
anything Germany had, such an egort
would be commendable.
And, too, if America could stand.
ardize such a motor and be able tt
furnish not only her forces, but al
the Allies with this new motor, time
and money would be saved, and the ali
strength of the whole Allied cause
would be uniformly increased.
AMERICA TRIES PLAN.
That's a fine plan, you will say, S.
long as America makes arrangement!
to get other types of engines ant
PLANES in the interval and sees to i
that her Owl forces are supplied ant
protected.
And America tried just that plan.
Orders were given to the Frenc]
government to build for US battle
PLANES and some training machines
too.

NO A OF

True enough, there were no Amer
ican-built PLANES, but is was m
tended that there should be until this
spring because the United States was
to concentrate on building a motor
and PLANE that could be standardized
and turned out in large quantities.
Unfortunately, in no country did
pro duction come up to expectations,
and the hullabolloo raised in the AM
erican Congress has had the effect of
making America decide to go ahead
on what she has developed and i'm
prove ~afterward.
Thus in the Dayton Wright Air
plane plant here they got the Ego
ahead" On April 8 last, which meant
to stop improvements and turn out
PLANES.

As a result of the conference, it is
expected that retail coal dealers in
North Dakota will be able to obtain
anthracite supplies independently of
the placing of orders for bituminous
coal during the current season and
that, should occasion require during
the next winter, shipments of anthra-
cite will be made to dealers designat-
ed by the state Fuel Administrator.
It is also expected that greenhouses
and brick tile manufacturing estab-
lishments and other consumers of lig-

tive provisions of orders limiting con-
sumption of coal issued a a part of
the conservation plan of the United
States Fuel Administration
Nh. Sneed, a business man of ex-
perience in all phases Of the coal in
dustry, assured Captain Baker that
North Dakota would receive it's fair
share Of the supply of anthracite re
manning after adequate provision for
the requirements of the Army and Ma
Wy and wal industries.
Executive Secretary Benton Baker
of the North Dakota State Orgoniza-

retail coal dealers in the Commercial
Club Auditorium at Fargo recently,
and explained the workings Of the fuel
administration. Those attending the

an order which became effective at z

counties, Pennsylvania, are authorized
to appoint coal inspectors for their

It will be the duty Of these inspec-
tors to condemn all consignments of
coal which, in their opinion, are not
merchantable, and to notify their re-

WHAT PLANE R

Enough Liberty motors have been
turned out by our factories, but the
delay recently has been in equipment
and accessories for the PLANES. Here
for example, are some of the things
that must go on a battle PLANE before
it is ready for shipment:
Two machine guns forward and two
machine guns on a flexible gunmount
on the rear, with 1000 rounds of am
munition; a bombing gear capable Of
dropping ten bombs of twenty-three
pound weight, or four of fifty pounds,
or two of 100 pounds of explosives; a
complete camera plate equipment; an
oxygen apparatus; electrically heated
clothing for the pilot and gunner, as it
gets very cold way up in the air; a set
navigating instruments and lights; a
wireless telegraph and telephone; a
bomb sight; a pistol to signal by fire
balls so as to answer "Who goes
there?" query as n comes into home
territory at night; flare lights for
landing and electric fan driven gener-
ators to supply current.
With its total equipment, the battle
plane weighs 4,100 pounds and makes
1873 to 40 miles an hour with $3.50
pounds, or what is known as military
load"
On the level the Germans probably
can make about the same speed, but
the Allies can climb higher with the
new Liberty potor and the deHave-
land plane and the fellow who climbs
higher has the advantage in air fight
ing.
Liberty motors are coming out now
at the rate of thirty a day and ought
to reach 200 a day by August.
Since there is a battle plane on the
Western front for every American
ready to fly, since We are now turning
out battle planes at great speed and
104 have been shipped already out Of
this plant alone, the delay may be
called disconcerting but not calam.
itous.
And if the Liberty motor serves on.
ly half the purpose for which it is in.
tended, it will be worth our while tt
spend the time we did to give the En-.
tente a standardized motor for the
armies and navies alike.

LIBERTY MOTOR RESULTS.

Then We set about to make a mo-
tor that would exceed in power and
speed anything invented abroad. The
Rolls-Royse is a 100 horsepower mo-
chine-the highest power Of all the
foreign makes-and we resolved to
make the Liberty motor 375 horse
power,
But we changed from eight to
twelve cylinders and improved it con-
stantly and finally turned out a motor
that develops 435 horsepower.
So long as the Allies were furnish
ing us battleplaines, We could afford
to tinker and strive for perfection.
When it is considered that for
many months the British maintained
supremacy on their long front with a
total of about 500 PLANES, and when
it is considered that the American part
of the line is only a fraction of what
the British held, there is not the
slightest Foundation for the statement
that America has comparatively no
fighting PLANES on the fighting line.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-05-29

all types Of PLANES, the achievement
of the Liberty motor in fitting six out
of seven types stands out as remarka-
ble-and the British and French are
loud in their praises.
Whether the Liberty MOTOR is better
than anything the Germans have re-
mains to be seen. Our engineers are
confident that it is.
So far in tests the Liberty motor
has proved a splendid climber, being
able to ascend 10000 feet in seven and
a half minutes and probably will be
able later to d. better than that.

MOTORS ADAPTABLE
NY IS HELD REMARKABLE

We ordered them by the thousands,
PLANES and motors. We ordered, too,
every kind of engine and PLANE we
could get. We sent a commission
abroad and found that it would be diff
fcult to make any of these motors in
America, since it "a necessary to i'm
port so many special tools.

Americans Regard Reply as Only Acknowledge ment of Receipt of
 Presidents Note.
DESIRE TERMS EARLY
Germans Replied to Presi' dent so Quickly Only to Get Allies to State
 Terms Soon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2e.-Germany's reply has been received and the com munication is regarded as an ack- nowledgement of the last note d's- patched by President Wilson.
 The answer indicates an anxious desire in Berlin to hasten a definite statement and terms upon which the Allies will permit hostilities to cease.
 1t is not believed that the Presi- dent will make any answer to the most recent German communication.
 Internal troubles in Germany are feared by the governing class there, it is believed, hence they desire to make peace before condition of chaos shall result.
