Blatant ‘Postnaster General Stewart.
He declared that it was the Imme
diate Intention of the anUy and navy
forces of the United States to open
an aviation school in Texan to supple
ment the school already established
at San Diego, Cal., and that the army
aad navy expected very shortly to
have four aerial squadrons. Two of
these squadrons, lie said, were ter
use on land, to be equipped with aero
planes while the other two squadrons
are for marine service and equipped
with hydros
He urged that aerial equipment be
sent as soon as possible to the PMt-
llppines and to Panama and HawaU
to "serve as tho eyes of any artillery^
action that In These outlying posses
sions may become necessary ** '
"We have reached the conclusion,”
he said, "that the aeroplane is in die-
penal ble ss tiie eyes of tffie artillery
and we can no longer afford to re
main Indifferent to this branch of the
service BUt we can’t look for more
than four squrdsons of aerial troops
