Weather tomorrow: Fair. , , AN OPPORTUMTT The ordinary ever-day eltixen may wonder way it waa that the bill ap propriating between 1600.000,000 and $700,000,000 for an aeroplane fleet to kelp the alliea win the war, area paaaad with hardly a word ot debate, while the river and harbor ' measure, carrying f 17000,000 ' in Kperoprlatiou wan heatedly debated for ojar week. " There are two reasoaa.' The laat named bill Involved the principle of 'vpprkN ieglaletlop, which does not ' meet with the approval of all legla latora. But mora important . than that la the fact that thoee closely in touch with the development of war preparations and the disclosures of facts which are guiding the allies In thoee preparations, sea the great op portunity America has of throwing Into the balance of struggling na tions, the determining factor in an 'immense air squadron. And, with the right kind of a program, In the hands of the right men, with an ab sence of eumtrsome red . tape, . the thing can be accomplished in time to do some real good.. ' It la estimated that this country can put over the fighting lines in franco by next spring, a fleet of 10,000 aeroplanes. No time need be lost In experimenting; the experi ences of oar allies during the three years of war have proven out certain types, models ot which are at hand. Experts who were on the ground re port that Germany was able to rout the Roumanian troops Into a dis ordered ' retreat by bombs droppea from only a dozen machines. At Petrir, the French dropped 200 bombs in 20 minutes, causing 4,000 casnalltles. At this rate, 80,000 ma chines could drop 9,(00,000 bombs in four hours. Assuming, as ha. been carefully estimated, that on bomb is equal to 20 soldiers, 80,000 airplanes could make an attack over a period of four hours that would be the' equivalent of hurling 111,- 004,000 men into an Infantry attack. These are big figures. They apeak eloquently of 'the possibilities In volved In America's entry Into the war. Thla consideration leavea oat of account the value of the air ma- . china In defeating the submarine through attacks on their bases. The dream of Julee Verne of a war "In the air and beneath the sea" will prove a reality before long. Germany Me patting her faith In the nnder-aea boat.
