Stations in Panama and the
Hawaiian Islands Must
Be Abandoned; Mexican
Border Patrol Reduced
Experimental Work Ends
Official Report Says 222
Officers Available ONLY
Enough for 2 Squadrons

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Secretary
gaker to-day announced that the
rehabilitation of the air service by
september 80, made necessary by in
snficient appropriations, will interfere
seriously with the defence of the
Panama Canal, the Philippines, Hawaii
and the Mexican border. He said that
undoubtedly the Senate and House
Committees on Military Affairs would
realize the precarious situation that
now confronts the War Department and
make provision for the retention of
American interests in Pacific waters
and on the Southern border.
Tne ar service officially announced
to-day that the abandonment of all
projects for expansion of the aerial
patrol servce would be necessary if
some provision is not made to author
lze the retention of flying officers. The
rehabilitation order, requiring the dis
charge OF all temporary officers by
September so, if carried out, will leave
the air service with only 222 officers.
which is not more than enough to
maintain two squadrons on the Mexi-
can border. The air service declares
tnat 10 carry out the contemplated ex-
panslon OF the air service in Panama,
the Philippines, Hawaii and the border,
Ss6 flying officers and 100 non-fying
officers will be required.
with the discharge of all temporary
officers by September 30," said the
statement issued by the cir service,
the stations in Hawaii and Panama
will have to be abandoned, as we'll as
the proposed Philippine project, as
there will be scarcely enough regular
army officers, from the grade of gen
eral down, to maintain even two squad
rons on the Mexican border"
To meet the air situation, there is at
present regular army strength Of 222
officers as follows: 13O heavier than
air pilots, thirteen balloon pilots. six
observers, seventy three non-fliers.
Ii the existing order of demobiliza-
ton is carried out and no provision
made to furnish air officers, the short
age will be as follows: Heavier than
air pilots, 526; lighter than air pilots,
197; non-fiers, 1T.
