American airmen are the hope of the allies for the next big surprise of the war and upon them to a great degree many of the war experts depend for the stoke which will turn the war against the the central powers and lead to the ultimate overthrow of Germany. The government has gone along quietly with its air preparations and has been at it so long that an announcement of the arrival of large forces of airmen in France or of their actual fighting would not be a surprise in the next ffiw months. Opinion of numerous war students for a year or more has been finding expression in tWe slogan: "The war must be won in the air." "American Born to Fly." N. B. Robbins, senior fnstrucfor at Rockwell field signal corps aviation school in San Diego, Cal., and who was formerly in Canada as Instructor with the Royal British flying corps, subscribes to this belief and says fur ther: , -r "American soldiers take to flying as if they Vere born for it. They make the finest pilots in he world." It is Bobbins1, contention that the war must be carried actually into Germany, and that the surest, quickest route into the Teutons' domain is through the air. "We want to carry a few 'little bundles' to Berlin," says Robbins. "When tho 'bundles' begin unwrapping themselves and bringing down homes and buildings in Berlin the German people will get better acquainted, with what the war means." Recruiter? point to the air' service as one of the most attractive in the list. Eveiy flyer is an officer, the mortality rate Is said to be the lowest in any branch, the airmen can almost always see his enemy coming. American Craft Speedy. The airplanes are being turned out

for Uncle Sam in a score of places throughout the country, perhaps the biggest factories being in New Jersey and New York. Finished flyers are turned out at these plants, but aeroplane parts are being made, in practically every manufacturing center. The speediest American plane can mount 9,000 feet in seven minutes and descend to earth again in one minute. It is a type designed by Robbins and carries one passenger only. It is called the combat type, weighs less than 750 pounds and can. fly straightaway 145 miles an hour. The head of the aviation service is Brig. Gen. George O. Squier,. recalled
from London, where he was military attache early in the war. ' He. was commissioned by Secretary of War Baker to reorganize the aviation service and shortly afterwards succeeded Lt. Col. Samuel Reber as head oj the service. He is a member of the aircraft production board, which awards contracts for every Piece of flying material the United States uses. , . Youths are being 'recruited daily for the service despite the difficulty of passing the examinations.
