SEND 20,000 AIRPLANES. United States Has That Number Actually Under Construction. ? Washington, Oct. 4?Twenty thousand airplanes for America's fighting forces in France, authorized in the $640,000,000 aviation bill passed by Congress last July, are actually under construction. Their motors are also being manufactured, Secretary Baker announced today and the whole aircraft program has been so coordinated that when planes and motors are completed, trained aviators as well as machine guns and all other equipment, will be I waiting for them. "When this nation's army is ready to participate in the fighting," said the Secretary, -'the eyes of the army will be ready also." The types of planes cover the entire range of training machines, light, highspeed fighting machines, powerful battle and bombing planes of the heaviest design and embrace as well giant battle craft capable of the work of the Italian Caproni, the British 'Handley-Page and similar types. Made in U. S. A. "Within a reasonable time, con-J sidering the period for preparation," Mr. Baker's statement said, "this country will send its first airplane tn J7!nmno This aimlane from tip of its propeller to the engine, machine gun and camera, will have been made in the United States. "There has been a remarkable response to the call for aviators. This country has an unlimited supply of young men possessing courage, self\ reliance, good judgment and decision?the things required in the air service. This service today is fitting thousands of Americans for flying." I Training Aviators. Twenty-four flying schools have been authorized, the statement reveals, and besides the thousands training here, students from the United States are training in all the allied countries, while many of them are undergoing intensive schooling behind several of the battle fronts. The men now in France will be turned over as finished aviators to the American troops in France. s American machines also are being built abroad and Mr. Baker said that approximately one-fourth of the number said to be needed were being made in the Allied countries. In that connection stress was laid -upon the necessity for greatly developing and expanding the aircraft industry in the United States. All the summer and part of the early fall ha\*e been devoted to this essential ground work. Manufacture of Accessories. Provisions had to be made for the manufacture of the many accessories necessary to aircraft service at the front, such as machine guns, observai tion apparatus, cameras and the like. The designing of a satisfactory motor was necessary and the "'liberty motor" was the result of the combined efforts of the best engine builders of the country. The signal corps and its staff of foreign advisers, the Secretary said, are well satisfied with the progress made since the motor was designed. Mr. Baker announced that the department's earlier expectations and - hopes for consummation of its extensive tircraft programme are being more than realized. '"There is practically no limit to the number of aerial fighters which the United States can and will furnish in the war for democracy," continued the Secretary. "Xo time has been lost in experiments. The machines which already have proved successful will be reproduced in large numbers in this country," ARMY OFFICER SHOT. Lieut. Mattson Returns Fire.?Man is in Dying Condition. Snnrtanhnra- Oct. S.?Lieut. Rand all M. Mattson, of Rochester, N. Y., j member of the military police of the Twenty-seventh division, U. S. A., was painfully wounded and William Lands, a white man past fifty years of age, is perhaps fatally wounded, as the result of a raid late last night by civil and military authorities at Lands's home, just outside the city limits, where, it is alleged, liquor has been sold to soldiers. As the police approached Lands's place, having previously arrested W. F. Bullington and Joe Lockabill, nearby, on the charge of selling liquor to soldiers, Lands ran out and encountered Lieut. Mattson. Both men fell to the ground and from that position Lands fired one shot into Lieut. Mattson's body. The fire was returned and five balls from an automatic pistol entered Lands' abdomen. At the hospital tonight there is said to be little hope of his recovery. Not Surprising. ' "Yes, plants have their ailments." "To be sure," said the sweet summer boarder.
