"As far as ] am personally con-
cerned, / am looking for no advance

the finest career that any man could
have in the armed service of our
United States. / have had the great
pleasure of serving in all our cam

gether on the planet. i owe the gov
eminent everything-the government
owes me nothing. As a patriotic
American citizen, can stand by no
longer and see these disgusting per
formances by the Navy and War De-
partments, at the expense Of the lives
of our people, and the delusion of the
American public.
"The bodies of my former comPan-
ions in the air moulder under the
soil in America, and Asia, Europe
and Africa, many, yes great many,
sent there directly by official stupid
ity. We all may make mistakes but
the criminal mistakes made by armies
and navies, whenever they have been
allowed to handle aeronautics, show
their incompetence. We would not
be keeping our trust with our depart

ceal these facts.
This, then, is what I have to say
on this subject and ! hope that every
American will hear it."

aircraft carrier, the Langley, which
can 60 about half as fast as battle
ship, and which is an obsolete collier.
1t can hold SO small airplanes. They
are building two aircraft carriers
which can hold so TO 40 planes.
These are practically obsolete before
they are completed.
Where is the S37,000,00o for air,
craft going? 1t is going into land
aircraft which have nothing to do
with the navy's operations on the seas
and which will be used as a political
lever for the maintenance of their
existing system.
NAVY ASKS MOST MONEY.
"The War Department, that now is
entrusted by law with the aerial de-
tense over the land areas of the
United States and its possessions, in.
Guiding the protection of navy yards,
asks for S24 $50 900. Consider how
foolish this Is. The navy, an organiza-
ton charged with going TO sea and
which must operate from surface YES
sells, which as a matter of fact arc
practically obsolete now. and which
will afford no real protection to the
country in case of an air attack, ask
Ing for two-thirds more than the army
does, which acts from land bases and
is specifically charged with the defense
of the land areas. TIL, amount allotted
to the navy for new aircraft is three
times as much as the army.
"Now. let us turn to the War De
partment. The War Department has
done nothing this summer to develop
air power and has undertaken to prove
by tests that anti-Gircraft guns can
protect cities. which is known every
where to be false. They have fixed up
scheme TO give constructive hits
when the guns firing do not hit the
targets at all. The firing has been at
targets towed at a constant altitude,
over courses which have now been
flown hundreds of times, at greatly re.
duced speeds and never in excess OF
10 miles an hour. Even this was only
because the wind was helping the
plane along and under weather condi.
tions that have been ideal. In spite OF
all this preparation, the results have
been laughable.
AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE.
"As an example of one of these
performances, the War Department
han taken the lid off for publicity in
the Second Corps Area---that means
around New York-with the result
that the coast artillery tells the papers
the story in greatly exaggerated terms,
whereas the chief of air service has
been completely muzzled. An interest.
ing example of some of the anti-air.
craft target practice was the testing
of the listening device for aircraft Al
Camp Dix, July 81.
"The umpire had told Captain Hall
commanding the airplane bombers al
Mitchell Field. that in the next anti
aircraft test he was at liberty to fly
under conditions which would be uset
in war. Captain Hall informed thu
umpire ahead of time that he woult
glide into the target. Before this, tn
coast artillery had had all their prac
tice with planes that had flown ovel
Mt fairly constant altitude and Will
their motors open.
"The night of the test the planes
got their proper altitude, played
around a little just out of range Of
the searchlights and just within rang
of the listening devices on the ground

the Pole could not be reached? An
other example, says the Navy Depart
ment, of the incapacity Of aircraft.
AT last the great anti-aircraft
tests took place. A battleship goes out
into the sea. She takes the airship
Shenandoah and has her tow a target
at 80 miles an hour. at known alti'
tude, in broad daylight and on Ger.
tain course. Some officers have told
me that the dirigible was heading into
the wind of an intensity of many miles
an hour and that therefore the target
really was almost standing still in the
air. The navy shoots at it all dag
long in this position and hits 1t u
few times and publishes TO the people
of the United States the wonderful re-
suits obtained, TO impress them with
the fact that. .battleships can be pro-
tected by anti-aircraft guns, which is
absolutely and entirely false.
What is our navy for? Presum-
ably it is to control lines of sea com.
munication on the high seas. What is
it actually? 1t is entirely and COM
pletely outpointed by Great Britain in
the Atlantic. What can it do across
the Pacific as. at present organized?
Nothing--against an insular Asiatic
power, whom you all know.
"The navy has about one billion,
five hundred million dollars invested
in navy yards. The upkeep and depre-
citation of these amounts to about one
hundred and fifty million dollars a
year. How many of these are useless
and how many of them are OF any
profit? Probably not many. Suppose
we took fifty million of this and APP
piled it to the development of aircraft
and submarines under competent air.
men and submarine men? What could
we do with it?
Every time a battleship is built,
the ship itself, when it is completed,
may cost from fifty million to sew
enty million dollars. 1t has to be
protected BY submarines, destroyers,
cruisers and aircraft, the total cost
of which is around or over one hun
dred million dollars, so that every
time battleship is built. the expendi-
ture of one hundred million dollars
is necessary. believe a battleship
today is a useless element in the
national defensive armament of the
United States. Suppose we had even
one-half of the cost of a battleship
to use in the development of our air
craft and submarines. These are
only a few of the things which must
be brought up before the people and
the coming Congress.
ONLY ONE CARRIER.
"The navy, to maintain its posi-
ton, keeps asking for more aircraft,
which it cannot use legally, because
the legal defense of the land is en-
trusted to armies. In spite of the
legal restrictions, however, but to
keep control of aviation and not let
it get away, the Navy Department
continually gets more money from
Congress by its Washington lobby
so as to keep the political support
of the aircraft manufacturers and,
possibly, some others interested in
them.
This year, the navy's estimate for
the aircraft amounts to thirty-seven
million, three hundred sixty thousand,
two hundred and forty-eight dollars

easy because they picked up the planes
far off and plotted their course abso-
lutely; but all Of a sudden sounds
from the airplanes stopped. Five or
ten minutes later, the bombers drop
ped their bombs directly on the target.
All around not q sound had been heard
before this.
THE fury Of the ground officers,
artillery officers and others was tire

acted fair and had fooled them--all Of

of Air Service funds appropriated will
be approximately two hundred thou
sand dollars by the time they are COM
pleted this fall.
"Why are things done this way!
The Coast Artillery sees that it is
bound to be greatly reduced on ac-
count of the fact that aircraft are a
positive coast protection. The Coast
Artillery now has about 81 stations.
For the ten years prior TO 1920, about
two billion dollars was spent on coast
defense-not two millions, but two bill
lions. What good are these coast de-
fenses? None-except those in the
immediate vicinity of large cities where
a submarine might emerge at close
range and plant few shells in the
city.

sions? What would only a small part
of this tremendous expenditure mean
in the development of aircraft?
Not one heavy bomb has been
dropped by the Air Service line units
in target practice for two years. Only
about four or five modern sights are
on hand with the bombing groups; and
today, /, who know our personnel
better than any living man, can only
put my hand on two perfectly capable
bombardment crews TO handle our air
craft in case we are attacked.
CUT DOWN PAY
The other thing that the War De-
partment has done this summer is TO
study how the filters pay could be
reduced or taken away from them.
Think of ii, the whole effort of the
War Department during the summer
has been to fool the people into think
ing that anti-aircraft cannon are n
protection and to keep the rightful
flying pay away from the pilots.
ITO make long story short, we are
utterly disguised with the conduct of
our military affairs applying to avia-
ton. Our pilots know they are going
TO be killed if they stay in the service,
on account of the methods employed,
in the old flaming collins that we are
still flying. Those that still remain
have held on so long that il they got
out they would starve. They don't
dare open their mouths and tell the
truth. because they and their families
might be booted out TO some obscure
place. No finer body ever existed in
the makeup of our country than these
men. ~
WASTE LIVES
There are many able men In the
army-thesc should be developing the
ground army in accordance with the
needs of the nation. There arc many
able men in the navy-but the bureau
cracies that both of these national
services maintain in Washington have
passed all bounds of national decency.
They are deluding the public, sacrific-
ing our national, defense and not only
wasting the money of our citizens but
the lives Of its ablest men, our flying
officers.
This condition must be remedied.
II is not in the field Of partisan
politics, it concerns us all. The Amer
lean people must know the facts and
