myri ads and the task now falls squarely to uncle sam doubters are in minority there tire arc doubting on this side of the water who sneer at the grandiose strite statements ments coming from new york and washington and who assert that even it if the united states organizes for the lie aerial construction pro pram the product will be so inferior that it will mill be useless for actual fighting fortunately these doubters doubter are in the minority officials rind men in it i position to know what already lias has been lone done are highly optimistic they believe that american methods applied to the lie manufacture of air craft will r result e in just as good a product as Is now coming from factories organized here shortly after tile war started despite all the lurid prophecies regarding the groat great fleet of airplanes that eventually NN will III lay waste the principal german cities the experienced airmen on this side only hope for thousands of machines with which to fight the german armies in the held field the success which americas efforts pre ore to insure will come only when the allied armies in france have sufficient fent airplanes to retain inns mastery tery of the nir air and to patrol every mile of the territory immediately behind the german lines when the lay day finally arrives germany will not be able to move a train back of the lines and to move reserves will be impossible glie will he be unable to feed the men are in the first lines her heavy artillery will be silenced and la in the end her entire fighting forces made useless the way will then become one of movement with the chances tor for victory altogether on the side of the allies there ire are various types of airplanes which will nill be manufactured in america 4 that are already being used in Fir franco rince engines of unbelievable power pre are being put into the newest type of ef plane the average averring ge american Is more or less familiar with automobile engines and has some idea of what weight of engine will develop horsepower it if tills this aver average tige american were to look at some of the newest air motors he probably would judge them to bo be ten or 15 horsepower in fact lie he could lift some of the engines unaided find and would probably be astounded to learn that such a machine was capable of developing not but 10 horsepower borse power every newspaper reader in tile lie united states has been well informed of the plans for building airplanes but it L la doubtful if one in a thousand can picture the size of some of the planes that eventually N will III be loaded on transports at the atlantic piers the correspondent lias has had an opportunity in the last few weeks of inspecting the newest type of aircraft 1 the type that will rill be turned out in vast numbers by america and it Is big bigger ager in every way inay and more pon powerful erful than laymen imagine to begin avith the body of the new machine resembles in many ways a big motor In launch urich its ita under part Is rounded and beautifully constructed of finely grained wood it Is 13 so big that to enter it one must clamber up a ladder and go down through a biatch way us its ug big as the cabin door of a motor yacht it Is of the biplane type rind from tip to tip of each wing ning there 14 1 room enough for a dozen men to lie out full length its two motors will develop COO horsepower and their com I 1 tried weight Is so little compared to ahe power that the actual figures would byok untruthful la in print where the old ld types could carry hundredweights hundred weights vils machine carries tons can carry nineteen men this new dew plane Is 19 by a pilot tro or three observers a forward gunner a bomb dropper a mechanic and it if necessary a dozen passengers it has dos
