and the same procedure will now be
followed regarding the cooperation of
the independent air force with the
army in the field for any particular
operation. The navy might say t.
the army that it did lot have enough
ships to spare for the enterprise, so
the air force might say to the army
that it did not have enough planes
for the enterprise beyond those al
ready allotted permanently for many
requirements.
1--WE Need Your Help"
"You see, we are quite independent.
We can formulate policy and strate-
gy, while production, equipment and
personnel function under one control.
We do not have the anomalous sit
uation at one branch of aviation SER
vice competing with the other for
production and equipment. Such CO.
ordination as this obviously, is the
only way a great air offesive can be
prepared for and conducted.
I'VE need your help, your great
resources and similar organization
in this country to cooperate with us
on equal terms. 1t is within the
realm of certainty that we can bomb
Berlin in the spring, If not in the
fall, with airplanes we have been
building, as we have already bombed
Colonge and Rhine cities, but we
have not the numbers for a really big
offensive, in my understanding of the
term We have plenty of planes and
can build plenty more, but we lack
engines, and we have about reached
the limit of capacity for engine pro-
duction.
I'VE have built UP big airplane
program to take the Liberty motor
and bomb Germany, but America
cannot spare these motors, and so, |
fear that our airplanes will be wasted
and the real offensive from the air
seriously delaped.
"The delivery of certain types of
planes by flying them across the At
lantic is feasible. If we can fly to
Berlin and back, which is more than
800 miles, we can fly from Newfound.
land to the Azores (the longest lap
of the Journey, which is 1000 miles.
This means big organization, air
dromes and repair plants in New
foundland and the Azores.

gained on a tremendous scale, and
this is what we look to America to
do"

push up from the bottom, as in our
case.
Are not the advantages Of indie
pendent control obvious? Here you
have one branch of the aviation under
the secretary of war, another under
the secretary of the navy, who have
many other affairs to attend to In
addition to aviation. They cannot
devote themselves exclusively to it.
They have subordinates in charge,
and their is an aircraft production
board, but it is obvious that certain
general problems must come before
the secretaries for decision which
they would be much better able to
pass upon If aviation were the exclu-
sive function OF their office.
The British Organization
IN Great Britain we have Lord
Weir the air minister, as head of a
council of seven-a vice-president of
the council correspondent to your

"This council controls everything
pertaining to aviation both for land
and sea combat. 1t supplies the

pilots and in addition maintains an

same status as the expeditionary
force or the grand fleet. For in

with the first sea lord, as to the ex-

sources, is the conviction Of Major
Gen. w. S. Brancker, controller-gen-
eral of equipment of the British air
ministry, who has been in this coun-
try several weeks in consultation
with government officials in charge of
aviation.
Gen. Brancker believe that eventu-
ally the United States will be obliged,
by the pressure of military necessi-
ty, to create secretary Of air forces
or its equivalent, under which air
fighting airplane production, equip
ment and personnel will function as
a separate branch of combat, just
as the army and navy.
Another Vital Step.
Another vital step, he believes, Is
the coordination of the operations Of
all the Allied air forces, beyond those
required for the respective armies
and navies as an independent Often
sive force, under the supreme war
council, just as the Allies armies and
navies are coordinated now.

Zeppelins and the Gothas, coupled
with experience gained when aviation
was controlled by the army and navy,

homes is adding to the woes Of res

yards, according to a Dane who has
just returned here from Copenhagen,

that building virtually has ceased and
fiat hunting had developed into what

II fiat was advertised for rent in
the papers, probably hundred per.
sons would assemble that day out
side the building. No one was ad-
mitted to the fat, but the caretaker,
when he thought a large enough
crowd had collected, would throw
open his window and say something
like this:
"The rent Of this fiat, ladies and
gentlemen, is so much a year. Which
of you will pay me most for arrang.
ing matters?"
Then kind of auction would be
held, and whoever made the largest
bid for the services of the caretaker
would secure the fiat.
Now the fiat famine has developed
to such an extent that the dilipent
fiat seeker studies the death an,
nouncements, proceeds Immediately
to the residence and assails the
mourners with questions about their
plans with regard to the fat.

appealed 70 the local exemption board
in Sioux Falls and beggec to be accept
