AIRCRAFT MISTAKES
ARE REPORTED
Continued from page -

American forces, the report states.
While the order of the president
creating a military bureau of aero
nautics and a director of aircraft
production is an improvement on pre-
yious conditions, the report states,
the committee deems 1t necessary to
recommend:
That the recommendation of last
April for one man control be re-
newed;
That a committee of engineers and
pilots for observation at the front
formed in relays be named;
That In view of the prime need of
the hour, machine quantity produc-
ton should be accelerated by enlist
ing the constructive abilities of all
responsible concerns engaged, or
which can be engaged in the business.
That air craft development and pro-
duction be taken up not only as
military necessity but as an indus
trial and comm ercial problem.
That better arrangements be made
for taking advantage of new inven-
tons.
That the margin of profit, particu-
Iarlv on motors, be cut down.
That planes and engines rejected
should be at the cost of the producer,
not the government.
That air craft factories be better
protected against fire.
The report opened with review
of what had been accomplished pre-
faced with a statement that In the
opinion of the committee substan'
tial part of the first appropriation fol
aircraft was practically wasted
This appropriation made July "a
1917, was $40 100000.
Summing up the aircraft situation
today the committee reported thai
while an army of trees one half mil
lion had been raised, the air Graf
situation is as follows:
"Six hundred and one Della vilant
tours have been embarked for France
up to Aug. l, 1913.
"Of these sixty-seven had reached
the front by July 1.

WAR SUMMARY
fConttnued from page II

Rapaume: last night, sixty miles
AWAY the western side OF the Vesle
salient was practically completed; To-
day the British have begun a new
, wedge-like drive north of the Somme
not far from the Bapaume opera
tons: and all the while the Frencn
are conducting squeeze operations az
the Lassigny angle, midway between
the SomIne and the Vesle fronts.
At no time since the war began
have local operations in the Wes1
been carried on SO continuously ana
with such persistent success, as now
Nor have the possibilities OF major
allied success ever been so threat
ening to Won Hindenburg. The de-
yelopments OF the western side OF
the Vesle pocket is serious danger
to the famous Chemin-Des-Dames de-
lenses, which are now threatened
with a flank and rear fire. At the
same, time, the southern sector OF
the Hindenbhrg line is insecure. Far
Their north, the halt in General Byngs
attack toward Bapaume Is strictly IN
accord with the strategic plans OF
the allies. The present operations
are in no sense a major offensive and
are being conducted under new and
llglly successful leSllCdl OhcSlioh
for minimizing the allies casualties.
A resumption Of the Bapaume drive
will occur at the right strategic mo-
ment
Marshal Foch is demonstrating
remarkable ability for uniting his
seemingly independent operations
and for suddenly uncovering his COM
pleted results in one direction, when
attention is cocentrated elsewhere.
Thus a fortnight ago. Marshal
Foch apparently stopped operations
along the yesle and the British be
gan their Picardy drive which re-
suited in the recovery OF the Mont
didier salient. But today the Ger
man positions north of the Vesle are
again threatened by the salient,
whose western flank has suddenly
shown, north of scissors.
All the successes during the last
fortnight have been accomplished
without the aid OF the Americans.
The fact is the most menacing Hin
[denburg has to face. If Marshal
Foch can do these things without the
Americans, what can't he do with
them? There Is no answer to this
question for the kaiser, except Ger
many's defeat.

machine thus equipped was condemn
ed as dangerous and placed in storage.
The Spad Is chasseur fighting
machine Of the highest type. Early
in September an oral order was given
to the Curtiss air craft company for
the manufacture of three thousand OF
these machines. Work at once began
and drawings practically completed.
"On September 81. Colonel Clark
and Major Vincent tone Of the invent
ors of the Liberty motor concluded
that the machine could not be operated
with a Liberty motor.
October 8, the contract was can
celled, the reason given being that the
single seat fighter was regarded as
obsolete. But the fact is that on April
%, 1918, a contract was let to the Cur
tiss company to build 1000 single seat
fighters, known as the 8. which is
English equivalent of the French Spad.
I'm addition to this, our government
is now using upon the battle front
every Spad machine 1t can secure
from the French but has only been
able to obtain about AIS Of them.
