Day of Errors Now Over, Says French Aviator After Visit to U. S. (By Associated Preaai
PARIS. July Hopes founded on American aerial aid to the Alllee Boon
will be realized, eays Captain Her-
teaux. the famous Stench aviator, wno has Just returned from a visit to the United States in a statement to The Associated -Press. Both American pilots and American machines are
coming over seas in large numners. The captain's statement follows: "We now have several thousand
American pilots In France. They have
arrived after adequate training so tney have only to put the finishing touches to the already sound Instructions. "We have not sufficient chaser planes
to mount all these pilots but the ma
chines are being manufactured more
quickly than the pilots can complete their training. It is certain that Araerlea alone within a few months will be able to more than supply all its
aviators with machines.
"America still has something to
learn in the construction of chaser
planes but progress Is being shown
every day- The Liberty motor now Is ready and machines fitted with it are being turned out rapidly. The Ameri
can bombardment airplanes are of the
finest quality and they are reaching
the front regularly. "The day of errors In which we had
our share -is now over. The hopes
which public opinion founded on American aviation soon will bs realized.'

Hun War Head "Regrets" Promise Concerning War Prisoners Is Not Kept (By Associated Pess.) AMSTERDAM, Monday, July 8. During a debate on the budget in the German Reichstag on Friday, says the Cologne Gazette, Gen. Von Stein, the Prussian minister of war, said: "Prisoners returned from Russia at any time are re-employed in the army. The position is different with exchanged prisoners from Great Britain and France, regarding which prisoners we accepted conditions under which such employment is impossible. "A few men have reported that while in Russia they signed attestation to the British and French officials that they could not be employed at the front. Those are tricks of Entente agents in which we do not acquiesce. I regret that frequently farreaching promises have been made which afterward lead to all kinds of complaints when under the pressure of necessity they are not kept."

PLAN EXPANSION OF RICHMOND ARMY CAMP TO 600 MEN
Plans for bringing 600 men to the Richmond Commercial club training detachment were discussed Monday afternoon at a meeting of a special committee, . composed of Howard A. Dill, George E. Seidel and J. T. Giles. A special message from Washington was received asking if it would be possible to accommodate 500 more men. Since a report was due in Washington before July 10, It was necessary to begin plans immediately. K. U. Carmen, present supervisor of the camp, compiled figures and drew up plans which he laid before tho committee. It will be necessary
for the government to put $180,000 at
the disposal of the Commercial club, in order to take care of so many more men. Five two-story army barracks of wood construction would have to be built. It Is thought that the land opposite the training camp can be secured. It is estimated that 600 men would spend $72,000 In Richmond In a year, and with that which would be spent by the Commercial club would total $252,000. It would be several months before the men could be installed. Mr. Carmen stated that it is necessary to make the present camp a success before anything greater is attempted. He said that as yet the plan was very Indefinite. Nothing more will be done until the committee has heard from Washing-

The entire population of the Murman coast (on the Kola peninsula, bordering the White sea and the Arctic) has broken with Russia and Join-
edth e entente, according to reports fr6m Scandinavian sources. The photo shows the Murman coats, east of Finland, where the revolt is said to have taken place. A hostile Finnish-German force is known to have threatened the region for many weeks. Leaders among the people in northern ussla recently appeald to the American and allied consuls at Kola for protection, the Bolshevik! failing
to resist the penetration of the enemy. With British, rench and American naval forces guarding the huge stores of war supplies at Kola, which were sold to the defunct provisional government but never moved following their delivery at the far northern port, it is held likely that organized action already has taken place to resist further German aggressions. If it Is considered advisable to re-establish the eastern front, allied forces may land in considerable numbers at Kola, which is a year-round Ice tree port.
