BUREAU OF AIR
CRAFT PRODUCTION

The report of John d. Ryan, Director
of the Bureau of Aircraft Production,
which is signed by W. c. Potter as Act.
ing Director of Aircraft Production, is
a comparatively brief document, cover
ing, as it does, only the period from
May "a to June 30, 1918. For the pur-
pose of showing what has been accom-
plished in developing the manufactur-
ing resources Of this county in quantity
production a list is given of articles
or material required in the manufac-
ture Of airplanes and orders placed
therefor. "Some idea may be gained
from this list of the task OF developing
and getting into production the various
products required by the Air Service,
most of them never before having been
produced in this country and represen-
ing new art, to develop which both
engineers and skilled, workmen have
to be trained and made proficient"
says the report.
In the matter of production the total
battleplanes produced up to May "a,
1918, was 148 and from that date to
June 80, 1918, 1893, while the number of
training planes produced to May "a,
1918, was 5,091, and from that date to
June 80, 1918, the output was 523. A
special French engineering mission
and one from Italy were brought to
the United States and undertook the
development of experimental planes
and various types, which were to Re
carefully tested and put into immedi
ate production if satisfactory to tire
Air Service. The manufacturing faci-
lities OF this country are being rapidly
developed for the production Of ccm'
plete battle planes, the report adds,
and also for the production OF finished
parts, which were sent overseas for
assembly Up to June 80, 1918, there
had been disbursed in cash total OF
S2OS,419,S94, covered by Air Service
material and a. total of $164, ,S9S, ,494
for buildings, flying fields, training
and maintenance.
zone of the most difficult problems
which continually faces the director
of this bureau is the securing of the
proper personnel to carry on the ac'
tivities Of this verp specialized indus
try, about which so little was known
in this country at the time war was
declared With the other activities
of the Government the problem grows
more serious each day." the report
states. An increase in personnel from
May "a to June 80. 1918, is shown tc
have been approximately twenty-foul
per cent. The report concludes: 1.-THE
necessity for continued liason service

the line could proceed no further. At
night the Eighteenth Infantry, on the
right OF the First Brigade, extended It's
flank along the west slope of the Mont
refagne. to connect with the Second
Brigade at the Exermont Ravine. The
situation was similar to that at the
end Of the first day at Scissors. In
addition to the hostile fire from the
front. the division was exposed to a
deadly raldng fire Of artillery from the
Argonne on its left flank and suffered
heavy casualties. The Sixteenth In
fantry. on the left. dug In and held
doggedly to the ground which It had
gained and pushed patrols into the
town of Fleville.
Capture of Montrefagne.
The assault was renewed at daylight
on the 9Th. The 6eventy-eighth Infan-
try drove the enemy from Montrefagne
ana the Second Brigade, assisted by
all tho artillery Of the division, ad-
vanced to the line Of the First Brigade,
so that at night the front was along
line south of F1eville and north of
Montrefagne.
On October the Second Brigade
swung forward TO the north of the
Ferme d'Arietal and occupied Hill 26s,
for the purpose of assisting the division
on the right. This hill was held by a
battalion Of the First Engineers, who
CALAMITY repuised q strong enemy
counter attack. In which the Engineers
sustained heavy losses.
The terrain over which the division
was fighting had unusual natural
strength. The country was very
rough and broken by deep ravines and
isolated hills that commanded all ap-
proaches. The valleys and slopes were
open. while the crests and hilltops were
oVrgrown with woods and thick
brush, affording excellent cover to the
defenders. The enemy had dug many
holes and had emplaced numerous
machine guns that swept by their fire
the entire fronA IN spite OF the heavy

tween the Mouse and the Argonne on
September 26. 1t was anticipated that
the division would be placed in line
west of the Mouse, to drive the enemy
from the north of Verdun. Accord
ingly reconnaissance were made and
a conference was held by the division
commander with the French corps and
division commanders in Verdun.
Into Limo for Greatest Battle.
On September 20 the division was
attached to the First American Army
Corps. During the night and the fol-
lowing day It was hurried forward to
relieve the Thirty-fifth American Di-
vision. which occupied the right of the
limo Of the First Corps. The relief was
effected during the night of September
S0-October /. The front occupied four
kilcmeters. extending from the Aire
River along the Apremont-Eclisfo
taine road to Eclisfontaine. The en-
envy held a line south OF the Montre-
beau by the Fifth Guard Division and
the Fffty-second Division, both of
which were practically fresh and pos
sessed of high morale During the
succeeding three days the First Divi-
sion protected itself in fox holes and
trenches, but the hostile fire was so in
tense that the daily casualties amount
ed to 500 men.
To support the division there were
eighty-four 70 millimeter guns and
tliirty-five l55 millimeter guns. AL
though greatly inadequate for the task,
the artillery used its guns with a max
imum of power and skill It is a trtb-
uts not only to the infantry but to
the artillery that 30 much was 40
oomplished with less than one-half
the artillery that was necessary for
such an undertaking.
At daylight on October 4 the First
American Army attacked and the First
Division advanced without artillery
preparation. 1t was preceded by thin
rolling barrage and accompanied by
few tanks.
The fighting was even more des-
perate than at scissors, as the Ger
man troops had orders to hold their
positions to the death. The enemy
served hts machine suns until they
were overrun, and his artillery flre was
intense and accurate. The First Bri-
gade swept over tho Fifth Guard Divi-
sion in the Montrebeau woods, follow
ing the barrage across the Exermont
Ravine and secured and held the high
ground Just south of Flevllle, which
was the left of the days objective The
Montrefagne was the scene of des-
perate fighting and it changed hands
twice during the day.

vanoed to the north side OF the Exer-
mont Ravina. where It was met by an

losses the morale of the division was
superb, and the determination TO fight
increased with the opposition of the
enemy. Successive fresh hostile diyi-
sions made their appearance, some of
which were first class and all of which
were rated high.
On October 7 the First Division passed
under the Fifth Army Corps and, In
llaison with the division on its right,
made slight gains. 1t became evident
that the enemy must be cleared from
the northern end of the Argonne be-
fore any further advance should ba
undertaken. Accordingly, the Eighty
second Division entered the sector of
the First Division on the night of o.
tober ST and at daylight of the Tth It
assaulted the heights Of Cornay and
Cote 1870. Tho success Of this opera
ton relieved the First Division of the
intense artillery fire on It's flank and
saved It many losses.
Up Against "Kriemhilde steIlunE''
On the sth there was no advance,
as the corps had ordered a general as
sault for October 9. The boundaries
OF the division zone were changed so
as to release the open Aire Valley to
the First Corps and to extend the zone
Of the division two kilometers to the
east. The right boundary ran from
Hill $50 to the Tuilerie Farm and the
LEFT boundary passed through Somncr-
anoe. In front OF the division lay the
strongly fortified Hill 272, with its
placid slope swept by machine gun
fire; the steep and wooded Hill 26S;
the Bots de Romagne; and the Cote
de Maldah. Beyond lay the Kriem-
hide Stellung, organized by trenches.
wire and numerous machine gun
nests.
The only fresh troops in the division
were the First Battalion of the SIX
teenth Infantry. which had been held
as division reserve. 1t was placed
under the First Brigade and was given
the mission OF relieving the Second
