Of Entente troops in North Russia
British, Americans, French and Ser
bians-at 10000, assisted by from 5000

The Entente troops, he says, are
mainly distributed along the Murman
railway up to the northern point of
Lake Omega. A further advance toward
Petrozavodsk, on the western shore Of
the lake, appears to be in progress. The
British forces in the Archangel region
are advancing southwark and south

Clemenceau Assures
Poles of Allied Support

PARIS, Sept. THE masses of the
Polish nation are Numerically op-
posed to the tendencies of those Polish
politicians with whom Germany is at
tempting to negotiate, declares Count
Zammoyski, chairman of the National
Polish Committee, in a letter he has
written to Premier Clemenceau. voicing
satisfaction over the recent Allied VIC
tories. The German efforts to win Po-
lish sympathy and assistance will be
fruitless, the count emphatically as
serts, as Poland has never doubted that
her future lay with the Entente Allies
and in the triumph of their cause.
Premier Clemenceau, in reply,
thanked the writer and added:
Neither Germany nor Austria any
longer doubts that our day of victory
will come. France, adhering to her
traditions, and in accord with her AL
lies, will do her utmost to revive Po-
land, according to her national aspira-
tions and within her historic borders.

Jugo-Slavs Hope for
Allied Recognition
Division of Sentiment Among
People Involved Renders the
Move Politically Difficult
Special Dispatch to The Tribu;

(SpectI Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Rccogni-
tion of the Czecho- Slovak National
Council by the Allied and American
governments has encouraged the lead
ers of the movement for the union of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes under
King Peter of Serbia to hope for the
recognition by these governments of
the Declaration of Corfu, the So called
charter of liberty Of the Jugo Slavs.
There can be no recognition, it was
officially stated to-day of the Jugo-
Slav organization corresponding most
nearly to the Czecho-Slovak National
Council. The JugoSlav Committee in
London, representing the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes of Austria hungary,
through the Declaration of Corfu, rec
ognizes the Serbian government as the
supreme political authority of the
ugo-Slavs, and therefore to recognize
the comm ,<e as the political repre-
sentative of the future nation would
necessitate a reputation of the Corfu
declaration.
1t is understood that both the Ser
bian government and the Jugo-Slav
committee in London, of which DR.
ANITA Trumbich. a Dalmatian, is pres-
uent, desires the Allies and America s
formal endorsement of the Corfu docu-
ment. 1t is assumed that the non
action of the Entente Powers and the
United States in regard to the ques-
tion is occasioned by their doubts
whether it is the wish of the Croates
and Slovenes Of Austria Hungary to be
incorporated in the proposed kingdom
OF Serbs, Creates and Slovenes.
A discordant note has been struck b,
some Southern Slavs of Austria in the
United States, Of whom there are ap
proximateiy 100000. divided about even
ly between Croatians and Slovenes
These have leaders who are antagonist,
to the proposed union with Serbia ant
are reported to be less enthusiastic
over the prospect of independence from
Teutonic and Magyar rule than thei
brothers at home.
Official reports from Switzerland in
dicate that the recognition of th
Czecho Slovak national cause by tn
Allies is having an important reactio,
upon the Southern Slavs of Austria
Hungary, tending to sweep aside par
tisan and religious differences in tn
interest of national unity and free
dom.

In differentiation the best Italian
machine is the Macchi, that for recon-
naissance work, having a speed of
over 100 miles an hour, and the fight

miles an hour. A Pomilio plant re-
Gently put out a 300 H. P. machine
with a speed of 157 miles an hour
capable of climbing 10000 feet in six
minutes.
Giovanni Caproni, creator of the ia
nous Caproni machine, is planning to
build after the war a fiier carrying so
passengers, with which he expects to
cross the Atlantic in 4S hours. In
fact, he had hopes at one time of es-
t%ablishing during the latter part Of
this year a Paris to Washington mail
route, flying by way of Portugal, the
Azores, Newfoundland and New York
City. The longest leg of this trip over
water is 1,195 miles, which, he says, Is
well within the range of the present
Caproni machine. 1t would be a strik-
ing repetition of history if the nation
which gave us Columbus, the first man
to sail TO the new world by water,
should also furnish the first to follow
that route by air.
Not only in building, but in handling
aeroplanes have Italians eXcelled. One
of the worlds records taken by an
Italian was the feat of Captain Giulio-
Laureati, who established a new
long distance flight record by flying
more than 900 miles without stopping
from Turin to Naples and return in
August, 1917. Lieutenant Resnati as
tonished Americans during his flights
here by going up 1900 feet with 10
men on board at Newport News and
by flying from Mineola to Langley
Field, pear Newport News, a distance
of 322 miles, with ten passengers
aboard.
Excel in Dirigibles Also.
Not only in heavier than air ma
chimes, but in the dirigible lighter than
air type has Italy eXcelled. The For
lanni dirigible has a record of lifting
four tons of bombs 1878 feet as
against the best Zeppelin record of
1923 feet with a similar lead. AS a
submarine chaser her non-rigid type
of dirigible has been very effective.
We cannot say what will happen in
the very neal future, but we can af-
firm that Italian technical men, fully
realizing the always increasing eXigen-
cies of war and the value of aviation
in the war, are continuing to work for
ever newer and more powerful types
which will in the future enable Italy
and her allies to keep that supremacy
in the air.

Italy is queen of the air.

Italy is queen of the air.
E%ngland's defense of the sea with
her Mammoth Navy; Frances heroic
infantry checking the first onrush of
the Hun at the Marine and at Verdun ;
Americas vast contribution of ma
terials and money in the past and of
fighting reserves in the future, are
matched by Italy's contribution to the
allied air navy, which will determine
as much as any n factor our final
victory over the Teutonic Powers.
The general public, amazed at the
marvellous performances of Italy's air
fleet during Cadorna's drive over the
Alps, at the record breaking feats of
Resnati, Laureati and D'Annunzio
and at the wonderful mechanical
achievements of the great Caproni and
Pomilio planes, still have little realiza-
ton of the vast scope of Italy's
achievement in aviation since she en-
tered the "a three years ago.
In February, 1915, there were In all
Italy only 100 aeronautical workmen.
When that country entered the war a
few weeks later she possessed alto
gether only so flying machines and
those mostly of the French type. But
the Italy of poets and singers is also
the Italy Of mechanical genius, of Mar
conf and Tesla, of Caproni and Po-
milo. Seeing with a clear vision that
the fate of civilization lay largely in
the supremacy of the air, and particu-
larly the need of air defense for her
own long coast line, her statesmen set
out to build a new industry from the
ground up. They gathered together a
vast number of men of energy and Gre
alive ability in order that they might
bring their contributions of research,
invention and technical knowledge to
a development of those machines of
offense and defense with which battles

are being fought today. AS a result
Italian aviation has established a new
record in the history of industry.
A New Born Industry.
To the immense and famous italian
industrial centers, already strongly
organized and active in general auto
mobile construction, was added the
new industry of %aeroplane construc-
ton. AS a result Italy today has over
10000 experienced workmen in this
field, and her government possesses
over 5000 military and naval planes
and is supplying others to her allies
by the hundreds. Many of the planes
America has sent to the French front
were made in Italy, and Italian planes
are being shipped here for the training
of our aviatorS.
Such firms as Fiat have accomplish
ed marvellous Salts in a short time.
This concern turned out a 700 II. p.
aerial engine, and other firms devel-
oped successful engines of 160, 200 H.
P, etc. The big Pomilio plant was
erected in three months time. Today
there are more than % aeroplane fac
tories in Italy, and that country has
the distinction of producing the fastest
aeroplane in the world, the fastest
seaplane, the largest flying machine
and the best climber.
A great secret of Italy's success was
the large and powerful engines she
had already perfected in her automo-
bile industry. These engines, develop
ing from 500 to 700 II. P. and later 900
H. P. and over, made possible the
building of much larger planes than
had ever before been supposed posi-
BILE.
Italy's %aeroplane plants have been
kept in operation, Notwithstanding adj
verse conditions, such as lack of coal,
when wood was substituted for power
generation, and the buildings in which
the people worked were so cold that
varnish would not dry. Another great
obstacle was the lack of chemicals.
Right here Italy pays a tribute to
America. 1t was American raw ma
terial that made this great develop
ment possible.
Record Breaking Planes.
New designs of aeroplanes are being
turned out constantly by the Italian
factories. One of her machines produc-
ed last year is capable of carrying II
tons. She has planes capable of carrying
a crew of 25 men and is now develop
ing one with a capacity of 80 men and
a horsepower of 5000. She also has
planes capable of travelling more than
900 miles without a stop. One of the
Italian type of machines carries nine
