FIRST NEW TYPE GASOLINE
DIVER CHASER SENSATION
PARIS, June 12.—The first new
-type of gasoline submarine hunters
built secretly in America has just
arrived on the scene of the greatest
U boat activities and is creating a
sensation on account of its being a
complete innovation in ship building
and its tremenduos speed and long
range guns.
Newspapers here declare that
several hundred will be ready for1
service in a few months and is the
iirst important contribution to naval
warfare that has been seen in a year
of diver hunting.
The ease with which tihs marvell
ous submarine killer can be hand
led while travelling at its tremend
ous speed is not the least of its
wonderful characteristics.
NEW YORK, June 12.—The plans
now being carried out to train ten
thousand American aviators are be
ing received in military circles with
enthusiasm.
One hundred thousand aeroplanes
are now building for service in
Europe over 25,000 being ready for
service in a few months. The others
will be sent as finished while the
American aviation schools will turn
out young airmen at even greater
speed. It is believed that this step
is the most important tactic yet de
vised and as it will render German
air operations wholly out of the
question, will bring the war to an j
end sooner than any other way.

will pass the physical examination.
A fair average in some circles is
stated to be that not any more than
27 per ecnt will fail to pass the doc

In this event, about three quar

by this draft, but it is held that
the per centage above named is too
high and at least ninety per cent
will pass the physicians even with
the present high physical standards
