Pupils Show Astonishing Aptitude, and Many
Will Be Finished Pilots in Four Months.
Records Are Already Broken.
WASHINGTON, July 21.~After a
few short weeks of practice the vol
unteers in Uncle Sam’s military avia
tion training schools have indicated
thut America will surpass the nations
of the world in fiying. The hundreds
of volunteers gathered at the four
training fields now in operation have
shown a greater aptitude in aerial
navigation than did the British or
French novices,
In some instances men have learned
the ticklish art of equilibrium within
three hours after they began to fly.
So uniformly successful have the
new aviators been under the instruc
tion of American officers that thelr
teachers are now laying greater stress
upon their duties as machine-gun
:r-ntoru, photographers, map
etchers, etc.
“Thoy learn to fly easy enough,” is
the universal decision of the War De
partment experts.
The four fields now in use are lo
cated at Rantoul, 11; Dayton, Ohio;
Mount Clemens, Mich. (near Detroit),
and Belleville, 111. (near Bt. Louls).
The Wilbur Wright field at Dayton,
largest of the group, will accommo
date 300 students at a time, and now
has 1,700 volunteers on its list. These
include the machinists, canvas repair
ers and others who are not actually
studying aviation. Three hundred
students may be taught in one class
on this immense field,
The other fields accommodate from
800 to 1,000 men, and have facilities
for the instruction of 150 men at a
time, This constitutes one aeroplane
squadron.
Under American Experts.
Contrary to the impression, which
has been spread abroad, the Ameri
cans are not learning flying under the
instruction of French and British nx-‘
perts. These latter are {requently‘
on the field, but they serve simply in
an advisory capacity, The actual work‘
of teaching the young airmen s in
the hands of United States commis
sioned and noncommissioned officers
who, in the signal crops, have been
studying the subject for years,
The progress made by the young
aimen has caused army officers to
revise hastily certain schedules which
thg had prepared, :
hen the first camps were opened,
the belief was generally expressed
that the men could not be trained in
less than eight months, A fatal ab
sense of that mysterious “sense of
aumlmun"zwu feared in many of
them. Within a week this time was
cut to six months, and before the sec

Fighting in Air Is Main
Part of America in War
WASHINGTON, July 21.—~Discuss
ing the $640,000,000 appropriation for
air fleets, Brigudier General George O,
~ Squier, chief signal officer, made the
fcllowing statement;
To develop all the possibilities of
fighting in and from the air in this
present war will be America's great
part. Europe is war weary and ex
hausted. The personnel of our allies
~for the most effective military avia
t'on has been used up, killed in the in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. 1 mean
the young men between 19 and 25
fyears of age—the period of life when
men are at their best for aerial work,
In Germany this class of personnel
has certainly been exhausted. 8o it
remains for us, coming in with a fresh
viewpoint, to end this thing the first
possible minute,
Nothing else counts, Saving a week
of .this war would be cheap at any
price. And the United States alone
can make this contribution to her al
lies and the world, We can outman
all other countries involved, friends
and foes, and we can surely outbulld
them. So we should make this a great
national plan to win, to make our
contribution to the cause something
that will be distinctly American in
conception and in magnitude,
) Promptness Needed. |
And there must be promptness at
any cost, for the sake of our own peo
ple as well as for the people of Eu
rope. To win quickly by the sheer
weight of the number of our machines
means the sending of the minimum
number of men of the United States
to the trenches.
We can train our men for actual
war service in the air in seven
~months, comprl-ln}; eight weeks of
und work and four months of fly
m at the training schools in this
country, and then a month of inten
sive battle plane training work in

Among the gioup of newly acquired
aviators, there are college men, auto
moblle salesmen, mechanics, chauf
feurs, yatchtsmen, horsemen, poiv
players and policemen. Such names
as J. P. Warburg, of New York, sou

Boston, are found on the lists.
The Aircraft Production Board of
the Councll of National Defense, of
which Howard Coffin is chairman,
has co-operated with the Federal
Government, In a plan of instruction
which will probably remain eflecilve
as long as the war lasts,
It has been necessary for the board
to amplify its original plans cosider
ably since it began operations, It
may be necessary to amplify Lhem
again. But it Is safe to predict that
on whatever scale tney are conducted
the methods of instruction now used
will be continued. ’
Rebel Against Strictness.
| The gravest fault with the Ameri
can civilian, so army officers have
found, is his rebelliousness ufuinlt thoi
strict regime of mlllurz life. lntel-‘
ligent, accustomed to do his own
thinking and to guide his own actions, J
he finds it hard to grasp the ldea that
he Is a minute cog In a vast military
machine—that he must not think for
himself or act for himself,
Oficers declare that it is more dif
ficult to reconcile their civilian puglll
to the idea of military discipline than
it is to tcach them to fly,
But by infinite patience and ap
peals to the unulnmnon of the stu
dents they have sucseeeded in drilling
these lessons into tb‘fint aeronauti
cal instruction class,
A certain number of newly-fledged
puplls will be retained at the flelds
for the instruction of those who come
after them. Thus the army and navy
will establish a sort of “endless
chain” system of practical teaching
whereby the graduating class wiil
undertnke the improvement of the
“freshmen.”
Within a year this country will
have turned out 20,000 pilots, at the
lowest estimate. With mechanics, ob
servors, ‘machine gun operators and
photographers this represents an
aerial force of some 70,000 or 80,000
men.
The estimated cost of a training
aeroplane of standard type is $6,000,

Von Hindenburg.
But we want enough to operate in
regitnents and brigades if necessary,
to make all Germany unsafe, to force
her to demobilize her alr forces at the
front and send the men and machines
back to protect the cities. This will
blind aer artillery and render it help
less by depriving it of the range flnd
ers.
Can Destroy Transportation. |
Furthermore, our regiments and
brigades will be able to destroy all of
Germany's interior lines of transpor
tation for the movement of troops and
supplies. They will be able to rob the
enemy fleet of the security it now en-
Joys at Kiel,
An airplane can now carry and drop
1,000 pounds of explosives. If that is
not enough to sink a dreadnaught It
certainly can disable it for three or
four months, and then it can be dis
abled again in the same way after re
pairs. We can make the Kiel Canal
itself useless,
These are some of the things that
American can do if she has a sufficlent
preponderance of machines. In addi
tion to all that we can carry on the
more conventional aircraft warfare
along the front, working on the three
levels, ranging all the way from the
altitude of 19,000 feet of the solo ma
chines down through the one-mile
level of the range finders to the bomb

our own before we begin the work of
construction. On the contrary, we
will call on our allies to furnish us
with their best plans and specifica

Against This Array of Talent Germany Can Oppose Only Soldiers.
—From Lustig Blaetter, of Berlin.
declared more than three months ago,
the great aviation plan is still on pa
per and was not even conceived six
weeks ago.
No one understands the colossal
difficulties confronting the United
States in its aviation program better
than Captain de la Grange, of the
French ariny, who is here to give the
Administration the benefit of his ex
perience in developing the flying
forces of France,
Aviators Quickly Made.
The formation of a large aviation
section by the United States, he said,
Is only & question of money. It takes
three to four months to tram a pllol.!
We already have seen how quickly
sturdy young men can be turned into
excellent aviators.
‘ In less than a year it would be pos
sible to have more than 65,000 pilots.
These pilots would be trained for the
first few months in the United States
and for the last months in the Ameri
can schools that is now being created
in France at Issoudan.”
The important question is that of
material, If the Government wishes
to, before April 1, 1918, it can have a
tremendous aero fleet. Suppose it de
clded to have only 5,000 planes and
10,000 motors. In order to keep that
number of aeroplanes always at the
front it will be necessary to build 2,000
planes and 4,000 motors per month,
viz.: 15,000 planes and 36,000 motors
during the next nine months. There
fore, between January 1, 1918, and De
cember 81, 1018, the United States
must build 22,000 planes, and 44,000
motors, .
Factories Must Do Big Work.
This means a great effort on the
part of the American factories. They
can make this effort, as they have al
ready the bulldings, the workmen and
gart of the machinery needed, They
ave also a large number of the best
sclentists and technicians. The size of
the orders given them will insure ob.
taining the money necessary to organ
ize the plants for their construction.
Two difficulties will be met at once.
The first that of skilled labor. In
constructing airplanes, machinists are
not sufficient; 'very good engineers are
needed and a great number of them.
The necessary steps should be taken
to recruit these men as soon as possi
ble, and, in view of this, the board of
production is sending a commission
composed of skilled workmen to
France, so that they should study the
methods used in the factories there,
When finished they will return to the
United States, will apply all they have
learned, and will be able to train
‘workmen as well. i
- 20 Motors Each Month at Plants,
The second difficulty is that of man
ufacturing quickly enough the ma
chines and tools necvaurfy for build
ing such a large supply of planes and
motors, Although the best American
engineers are giving all their ntten-]
tion to this, it will be impossible, I am
afraid, to bulld these machines fast
enough so that on January 1, 1918,
each fagtory will be able to produce,
not ten motors a month, but twenty
and thirty.
In my opinion, there is only one
way in which this difficulty ean be
surmounted, It is to realize that the
work must go on night and day, and,
in consequence, to organize night
shifts so that the machines will never
be idle,
1 am convinced that the quickest
way in which the United States can
help the Allles is by aviation, In nine
months from now, on April 1, 1918, I
am sure it will be possible to have a
corps of 5,000 aviators trained, equip
ped and armed.

ciency could have placed upon the

local boards.”
General Crowder has been without
sleep for more thefi 36 hours. He did
not leave the room in which the draft
was held until after 4 o’clock this‘
imomlng. He went home, but could
not sleep, So he spent the rest of
the night reading a history of the
Punic wars. Bright and early this'
morning he was at his desk. |
The first thing he did was to clear
away the difficulty which had arisen
over the drawing of a blank number
as the 10,004 th capsule.
That Missing Number.
The general ordered that the slips
bearing the numbers be assembled
into groups of thousands and counted,
so as to dete®mine what the missing
number was. It was discovered to be
4,662. He then ordered it placed on
the tally lists in the 10,004 th place,
where the blank had been drawn.
No hardship was worked on any
man by the error, as if the slip had
borne the number 4,662 it would have
been recorded as that when drawn in
the 10,004 th place.
General Crowder this morning re
ceived a letter from Segretary Baker,
in which the latter said:
“When this letter reaches you, the
actual grawing of the numbers select
ing the men for the first national
army of 500,000 men will have been
completed, and the third stage in your
great task brought to a successful
conclusion,
“There remain, of course, the diffi
culties of applying the exemptions
provided by the statute, and to this
task I know you will give the same
splendid services, but I can not allow
this epoch-making achievement to
pass even this stage of its accom
plishment without rendering you my
personal and official thanks and ex
pressing my judgment that the coun-~
try owes to you the success which
has attended the steps so far taken.”
Chances Three to One.
General Crowder's office will send
the tabulated sheets by mail to the
various local exemption boards on
Monday night. They will reach the
most distant board within five days.
The men, under the law, are sup
posed to acquaint themselves with
their positions on the list of their
local board in order that they may
know their liability for service, but
the hoards will advise by mail when
to report. Officials of the War De
partment today estimated that only
one man out of five will be held for
service,
No matter what his position on the
list, they estimated the chances of
the healthy unmarried young man to
be only 3 to 1 against being ordered
out.
Indications today were that there
would be far fewer claims for exemp
tion than officials had anticipated.
From all parts of the country came
messages showing how anxious the
manhood of the nation is to serve.
Even aliens are anxious. The follow
ing message from a Spaniard was re
ceived today by Secretary Baker;
“You drew my number first, a.nd.
although I am not an American citi
zen, but a Spaniard, and have never
applied for naturalization papers, 1

When two or more registration
cards are found bearing the same se

the number for the purpose of distin

same purpose, or any other distin
guishing marks, one of the cards is
to be chosen by lot and assigned the
“common serial number” which both
bear and the other to be regarded as
having no serial number,
When the serial number on a %gnl

such card also is declared to have
no serial number,
Serial numbers for all cards bear
ing no serial numbers are to be de
termined by lot by the adjutant gen
eral of the State under conditions to
be prescribed by the Governor. These
will consist of shuffling the cards
beallnf no seria; number and then
assigning serial number in the origi

no vacant serial numbers these cards
are to be given the next highest serial
number to that for which registrants
already have been assigned. For in

is 2334, the number of the card with

Distinctive ‘‘Letter

—said a business man the other day to one of
our salesmen.
Do YOU realize the importance of your let
terhead as an advertisement?
A good letterhead creates a favorable im
pression on the mind of your customer. It
serves as an introduetion. It is the equiva
lent to saying: “Permit me to introduce my
self—l am,” ete.
The letterhead of a machine shop should be widely different
from the letterhead of a bank. It should reflect the char
acter of the business. This it can do by proper arrange
ment and proper use of type.
It must stand out, like a strong individual in a crowd, among
the scores of ‘‘good, bad and indifferent’’ letterheads that
reach the same desk at the same time.
The business man we quoted in our headline above
certainly had the right idea. And we were glad to
work with him in creating a letterhead for him
which was strong, yet simple and dignified.
Perhaps awe can help YOU awith your printing probiems
