Owing to the lack of sufficient ap- propriations, the sum set aside by the House and Senate milit subeom- mittece will not allow a normal de- velopment of the National Guard. It is possible that before the year is passed the War Department will be (bliged to withdraw federal recogni- tion from units now recognized as National Guard, due to the severe cut in appropriations from the estimate of the militia bureau of $13,000.000 to the final sum of 000000 The insufficier 1t is said. will fol of at least horses from the National Gu: alry, and the organization of air & vice, tank an d units will of latter amount. | ce the withdrawal | “fiscal vear the Na- barely able to reach sngth of 160,000, whereas, under tional defense act, its strength | have reached a total of 239,- Transcontinental Flight. | Under authority of the chief of air service, Lieut.

It is estimated that the field artil- lery, having approximately 50 per ceat of its authorized commission strength, wiil be 20 per cent short aft- er the reduction in the Army has been made. In view of the demotion, it is éxpected that a number of requests will be made for transfer to that arm Tt is known that other branches have a surplus. and in view of that fact it would not be surprising if a| large number of requests for transfer | 1o the fleld artillery will arise in the ! near future War College Training.

T THE NawY According to a recent statement by Admiral Moffett the day is not far distant when commercial planes will he shot into the air from the deck of fabt mail ships when they are still many miles at sea. Urgent mail and | passengers, he believes, can be speed- ed Into port by seaplane, and in this wAy cut down the lapsed time of Dagsage. (This and many other possibilities ars, in the opinion of the chief of the ‘bireau of aeronautios, opened up by N8 successful development of the cMtapult which hé delleves will prove igreat benefit to Industrial and com- fal activitie \!#'he catapult,”” says the admiral, “Iis s 18 7 longer in the experimental Itifs as practical workable the torpedo tube used for launching torpedoes from the deck of de- siroyer. Furthermore, its develop- ment by the Navy is & doon to aero- “tua"ul activities in the commercial flad."” Jlacent tests of the catapuit for ldunching airplanes donducted on the battleship Maryland were witnes: by a party of high naval official ong whom were the commander- Iacehief of the Atiantic fleet and the cptains of the battlaships.

For the first time in its mnm. Ahe United States by the naval limi- tation treaty has a naval poliey. This is the gist of statement recent- issued by the Navy Lesgue of Lhe ARMY AND NAVY NEWS 1 0f the activities of the aviation mechan- ! | Theo G. DUNCAN, U. S. R. United States, Which hus for its pur- posé a campaign of education as the need of the courtry’s first liné of de- fense. The league asks adherence to the fixed policy to 5-5-3 ratio, and ap- approves limitation of armaments by international agreeménts. It repu- diates the reduction of armaments by example. howéver, as unwise and dangerous. “We have just concludéd a treaty.” the statement reads. “that limits our capital ship strength to equality with Great Britain and five-thirds the strength of Japan. The basis of that treaty was existing naval strength.” We must retain parity with the strongest, or, under the precedent we have established, the next conference may find us a second or third naval power “The conference found TFrance a third-class naval power and she is relegate: to that position for ten years. The next conference may limit all classes of ships. and our strength may be determined then by our ‘ex- isting naval strength’ in each of these classes.” Aeronautical Exhibitions. Partlcipation by squadrons of Navy seaplanes and Marine Corps land planes in the forthcoming aeronautical congress in Chicago, August 4 to 13, will include a squadron of three F-5-L seaplanes, the large type of Navy scouting plane, which will fly from Pensacola to Chicago via_the Mississippi river. Twelve naval planes will be ordered to the congress and will fiy from their respective Air stations. where they are now operating. One observation balloon squadron of six shipplanes will be sent from Brown Field and a squadron of three torpedo planes will also be dis- patched from Quantico. It is planned 1o establish at the congress an exhibit | * schools. One booth will show the nethod of training perfonnel for the naval aviation service and another will be devoted to material.
