the point Of theoretical schooling There
were approximately 476 pilots who ac-
tually crossed the lines for combat. In
the month of July. 1919, more than 5000
fully trained pilots at the base at Tours
awaited machines with orders to go to
the front. None Of these ever went in

Those who did go flew British and
French machines of British and French

almost negligible in number America

prepared than at any prior stage of her
development She had made her first
stride toward standard machine and
it's production In quantity. De Havi-
lands of the bombing and combat types
were fairly squirming on government
piers for space and shipment. At the
League Island navy yard, at Hoboken,
at every factory outlet. the wharves
were Uttered with Grated arplane rig
ging and equipment. 1t was the first
real sign that Americans were about to
do away with the obsolete machines and
blot out the cognomen Flaming coffins."
Raw materials were coming In from
every corner Of the country, production
had reached the height of six to twelve
machines day per factory and the
manufacture Of the airplane was show
ing a sign Of becoming substantial
American industry with backbone.
Today the factories are idle, hopeful
for encouragement from the Congress.
Fifty distinct trades and some seventy
Industries are affected by this sudden
interruption in production. and hosts of
able men willing to stay in are being
discouraged by our disregard of the fast
widening breach which is separating us
from England.
The new bill is an attempt to do
something constructive for military

Possible Development of Air Resources

vision.
The United States is in a position
to move forward without handicap.
There are thousands of experienced
men, ex-soldiers and civilians, who
are anxious to throw themselves into
the project. believing firmly in its
future. The development of aviation
is SO rapid and progressive that it is
with 1t to keep up with Its advances.
The rehabilitation Of the worlds
commerce is one Of the most impor-
tant problems to be considered. The
dirigible with its element Of speed
more than balances the element of
marine safety.
During the war several daring Brit
ish airmen exploited Essen, Wilhelm

German munition and naval bases;
seven were shot down, three returned

time such feat seemed impossible.
Now, two years later, an expedition
of this kind would be considered a
small affair.
Technically there are thousands OF
fertile brains working daily on air.
plane improvements. There are no
limits to the possibilities. 1t is the
playing with the toy that suggest new
things. Today. at Farnsborough, there
are more than 5000 men and women
actively engaged in every line of re-
search and experiment known to avia =
ton. War creates keener competition
than peace. In 1913 every new day
brought forth a new device in air.
planes. Sometimes changes were so
rapid that advantages in the air were
removed daily from one foe to the other.
When the German Fokker first ap-
peared In early 1918 equipped with a
standard Mercedes engine the allies
were distracted. The Huns had the
upper hand for several months when
at the front supported by the French

bitter aerial struggles of the war The
loss was severe to both sides. America

,,Kecently sixty-seven machines OF
different types started across the con-

effort to establish the actual value Of
these machines in the terms of en-

To tho lay public this measure
sounds as radical in its movement as

fort to lead the nations air resources

At her first plunge into the deep

DEVELOPMENT OF CONVOY IDEA
pltifully small that It was impossible

pitifully small that It was impossible
to cover it effectively. Under these
conditions there were very few en-
counters between destroyers and sub.
marines. at least in the waters south
and west Of ireland. for the subma-
rlnes took all precautions against
getting close enough to be sighted by
the destroyers.
Yet the British and French navles
were not the only ones which at this
time were depending upon the patrol
as protection against the subsurface
boat. The American Navy was COM
hitting precisely the same error off
gress declared war against Germany
we expected that at least few of the
U-boats would cross the Atlantic and
attack American shipping: indeed.
many believed that some had already
crossed in anticipation Of war; the
papers were filled with silly stories
about submarine bases" in Mexican
waters. on the New England coast
and elsewhere; submarines were even
reported entering Long Island sound; ;
nets were stretched across the Mar
rows to keep them out Of New York
harbor: and our coasting vessels saw
periscopes and the wakes of torpe-
does everywhere from Maine to Flor
ida.
So prevalent was this apprehension
that. in the early days of the war.
American destroyers regularly pa
trolled our coast looking for these
far flung submarines. Yet the idea
of seeking them this way was alb
surd. Even had we known where the
submarine was located there would
have been little likelihood that we
could ever have sighted 1t. to say
nothing of getting near 1t. Suppose
that we had learned that a German
U-boat was operating off Cape Cod;
we might have had the exact lati-
tude and longitude where she was ex-
pected to be at particular moment.
At tho time the message was sent tho
submarine might have been lying on
the surface ready to attack q pass
ing merchantmen, but even under
these conditios tho destroyer could
never have reached her quarry. for. as
soon as the U-boat saw the enemy
approaching. she would simply have
ducked under the water and remained
there in perfect safety.
