fi I SINQI.E woe
Edward R. Stettinius, the recently)
appointed surveyor general of suplies'
for the army, is turning his attention
firs; to a tightening up of the business j
organization of the signal corps, for'
here, as in no other branch of the |
set vice, is typified the interrelation l>e |
tween the industrial and the military!
professes of war-making.
'I he reader of newspapers and maga
zines is accustomed to think of the air
service as consisting entirely of in
trepid fliers who soar over the en-!
emy's lines, reconnoitering, bombing,’
and. in general, fulfilling the traditions
ot that most picturesque branch of
our military service, i’erhaps no de
partment ot warfare appeals more to
the imagination and less to a realiza
tion of the practical, mechanical grind
of the day’s work.
And yet, if each pilot were to take'
up in the air with him all the men I
who are. in their way, as intimately!
connected with that single airplane,
as he himself, a Zeppelin-sized con
veyance would he required; for, be
sides the pilot, there are thirty indus
trial soldiers to every plane which
flies over the front. Each pilot is
the personal representative of thirty
machinists, toolmakers, engine fitters,
cabinetmakers, carpenters, sailmakers,
motor and plane repairmen—all of
them members of the signal corps,
and all of them waiting on the ground
with a personal interest in that ma
chine.
It is the building up of this combina.
tion industrial military organization
that has made the work of the signal
corps so phenomenal, and it is to its
further development and co-ordination
that Mr Stettinius is bringing his ex
ceptional talents for organization. Pro
gress In this granch of war prepara
tion may be said to trave begun at
minus zero, because, at the declaration
ol war, it became necessary to cancel
a larga percentage of the work which
was being carried forward on a peace
time basis.
On July £4, 1R17, when "the appro
priation bill providing for the expan
sion of this fighting branch was pass
ed, the personnel of the flying service
consisted of only a few hundred men.
Today the personnel of the signal
con* number 90,000, Including fliers,
mechanics, and trade experts in every
line.
| Tlji^jidusirial soldiers enrolled in
j this service are all sent to schools for
I trade testing. Here they are sorted
i into squadrons for training in that
i branch of the work for which they are
i host fitted. These squadrons are given
! military training for purposes of dis
; ciplint}, but their intensive training
| is in the industrial phases of the serv
ice so vital to the maintenance of the |
ships of the air.
, Added to the great manufacturing
activity which is being concentrated ’
ceaselessly upon the production of en- ]
gines, planes, air-craft parts, machine
guns, scientific instruments and ma-!
i terial into shape for active service, j
A tremendous work has already been j
done by the signal corps European ex
perts have stated that the flying and j
1 training schools in the United States,1
created within af few brief months, sur
. pass anything in this line to be seen
in Europe after three years of war.
it is to the perfecting of this great
business and manufacturing organiza
j tion, which is so essential to the
I picturesque “cavalry of the clouds,”
j that Mr. Stettinius’s knowledge and
organizing ability is first being turned.
