Air Mission Believes
Victory in Any Future
War Depends on Planes
By associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Belief that
future war will open with great aerial
activity and that victory will incline
to that belliEerent able first to achieve
and maintain its supremacy in the
air was expressed by the special
American aviation mission which has
just submitted it's report recommend
ing concentration of air activities in
this country, civilian, naval and mill
itarE, under the direction of a new
department whose head will hold a
place in the Presidents Cabinet. The
mission, headed by Assistant Secre-
tary of War Croweil and composed of
some of the nations leading aircraft
development experts. has been study
ing the subject in Europe in conjunc-
ton with the experts of the principal
powers there, and it's views were
based on information secured in
months of study.
Secretary Baker late yesterday
made public and at the same time an
nounced he had disapproved the rec
ommendation for the creation of q
department of aviation. He expressed
the opinion the mission had gone too
far in suggesting a single centralized
air service"

While Visiting In

sydney, Australia. Aug. 13. - Ad
miral Viscount Jellicoe preached a
policy of preparation for war in some
of the speeches he has delivered here
while visiting Australia to inform
the Australian government concern
ing matters of naval policy.
when discussions take place on
such subjects as the League of Ma

armaments, I trust it will never be
forgotten that the existence of the
British Empire depends absolutely
upon the safety of it's sea communi-
cations" said Viscount Jellicoe at
sydney, where he addressed the Navy
League. Before the war, he said
Great Britain suffered from a lack
of sufficient ships to guard the long
lines of communication between Lon
don and Australia and, he added, lit

that we are never in want of suffi

rector of sales for the United States
War Department, has opened offices
in Paris for the purpose of selling

treating to Erzerum. He was later

sponsibility for massacres of Greeks
in Asia Minor. Early this year his
forces at Erzerum were reported to
be concentrating for an attack Oh
the Allies.
A Paris dispatch on July I stated
that Mustapha Kiamil Pasha and
