SAILOR HARVEY
WRITES OF TRIP
ON DESTROYER

lengthy letter to an Americas
friend from Bob Harvey, now
a seasoned sea salt in the navy,
is dated "At Sea, Enroute from the
BurmuGas to Adore Islands, April a."
and contains much that will be read
here with interest. The epistle tells
of the whereabouts of three other
Americas "gobs,' Reese, Hodges and
Wilder, who were at Guantanamo
Bay and participated in the maneuv-
ers of the big sea fighters there.
I'VE arrived at Guantanamo Bay"
the letter states, the first part of
February and went through some
tiresome manoeuvers with the big
fleet, being at sea to 10 days before
returning to the bay to re-fuel and go
at it again. One week we were in
port the whole week for upkeep and
liberty, but there is not very much
amusement in Guantanamo. There are
several baseball diamonds, however,
and African golf links where some
pleasure may be secured. The latter
part of March we were out on two
weeks of maneuvering and went into
Ponce, P. R., for supplies and liberty.

part in the festivities, but it was a
most unusual affair with the natives
whites, "spicks" and blacks as well
as mulattoes dancing together. After
we tired of looking on, four of us
tried to get a room in the city, but
owing to the large number of visitors
failed to secure accommodations, be-
ing forced to commander street

where the music will last all evening,
and where only white folks dance to-
gether, but after two days at sea these
plans were all destroyed when we re-
ceived a signal from the admiral to
proceed to the Azores, via Bermuda.
We stopped at Hamilton to take on
fuel and supplies, and while there

Now that the European nations are

AMERICAS AIR
ACHIEVEMENTS
in WAR TOLD

WASHINGTON, May 16.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. Admission that both
military and civilian experts over-es-
timated the country capabilities in
setting out in 1917 to accomplish the
impossible task of producing $4,000
airplanes in IL monhs is made in the
official history of the government S
efforts to build up the industry made
public today by the war department.
Realization of this error resulted al
most Immediately in the placing of
contracts in France for 1915 planes
of the Spad, Newport and Bregeut
types.
The report shows that by May %,
1918, American factories had delivered
5,270 planes, or "a per cent of the am
bilious program while the French had
delivered 81 per cent of the number
promised on that date. Up to Novem-
Der IL, total of 1854 airplanes had
been produced in America, but these
were largely training machines, fight
ing planes completed during the war
period totalling only 1928.
Broadly stated" the history says,
the United States produced for her
army alone in her second year of man
ufacture, as many airplanes as Eng
land produced for her army and navy
in her third year"
Cloth and Dope Short.
Organization of the manufacturing
industry is declared to have been the
smallest of the air services problems.
an alarming shortage of cloth, and var
nish, or dope" for the wings develop
ing at the very start. Lack of an adj
equate supply of linen was overcome
quickly through the assistance of the
United States bureau of standards
which evolved a special cotton fabric
with tensile strength of 80 pounds
to the square inch. Production of this
material was soon at the rate of L.
100000 yards per month.
Cotton proved to be not only an

governments and the beginning of the
orderly processes of life in the imme,
date future.
THE effect of these requirements
in production and orderly distribution
will tighten the strain on America
and our own fortunate country will
be enabled to turn. more of its pro
dnction into domestic markets.
The increased cost of living. Mr..
Barnes points out, has been due to
entirely natural laws. The initiation
was due to the expansion of world
credit, which to those with fixed in
comes meant a burden of hardship.
The sacred obligation to feed the
famished countries had to be carried
out.
There has been no real reason for
any advance in -four the statement
continues. I'VE have protected the
domestic supply without jeopardy, and
mills and dealers are beginning to
realize this and recover their business
sanity"

admirable substitute for linen, but ev-
en- better fabric than the original
CLOTH" the report says, mo matter
how abundant the supply of flax may
be, it is unlikely that linen will ever
again be used in large quantities for
airplane wings"
Search for varnish to protect air
plane wings resulted in the estab-
lishment of 10 large chemical plants
to produce acetone, the principal in
gredient.
Had the war continued" says the
history, these new plants would have
taken care of all American and Allied
military needs, allowing the produc-
ton of private plants to go exclusively
to fill commercial needs.
Development Swift.
Development of aircraft was so rap
i'd that frequent changes in models
and designs were before the service
experts for consideration. At the time
of the armistice, the whole production
machinery had been, or was about to
be turned over to putting out new
DeHaviland, known as ga; the Lee
pare, a two-seater built around the
Liberty engine, and the great Hand
ley-Page for bombing work. Expert
ments also were under way with the
italian Caproni, to be driven by three
Liberty engines.
But American invention was able
to bring out strictly American bomb
ing plane that promised to supersede
all other types in existence" says the
report. This was the Martin plane
which, with wing spread of rs feet
attained a speed of 11S miles an hour
against 100 for the Handley-Page- and
Caproni Where the foreigners requir-
ed 46 minutes to climb $4,000 feet the
Martin craft took 80 minutes"
One entire chapter of the history is
given to the evolution and prepare
tions for the production of the Liberty
engine. First drawings were made May
20, 1917, and the first 8 cylinder en-
CINE was delivered July 4, 1917. On
August 25, the first Liberty twelve
successfully passed 50-hour test.
