"In aviation we were In the same
situation, and here again the French
government came to our aid until our
own aviation program should be under
way. We obtained from the French
the necessary planes for training our
personnel. and they have provided ms
with a total of 2.676 pursuit. Obserya-
ton, and bombing planes.
.'The first airplanes received irons

we have received 1879. The first
American squadron completely
equipped by American production, in
Guiding airplanes, crossed the German
lines on August Z, 1918.
"As TO tanks, we we're compelled
to rely upon the French. Here,
however, we were less fortunate, for
the reason that the French produc-

1T should be fully realized that the
French government has always taken
a most libegal attitude and has been
most anxious to give us every posi-

France for artillery, aviation and
