STRENGTH IN AIR
GERMANY'S MACHINES INVESTIGATOR'S DISCLOSURES LONDON, Nov. 18 The Sunday Dispatch says a special investigator, sent to Germany on behalf of Britisli secret interests, has reported that Germany is capable of putting more than 2500 aeroplanes into the air within an hour if war should break out. The investigator, disguised as a workman, visited important motor works in Bavaria. He says he found a large part of the factories guarded, and shifts working day and night building aeroplanes. Works near Kiel are turning out 1000 mines ard torpedoes every week. BRITISH DECISION NAVAL AEROPLANES INCREASE ABROAD LONDON, Nov. 13 The Daily Express states that the Air Ministry has decided to increase the strength of the Naval Air Force abroad, and also to concentrate naval aeroplanes on the south coast of England. A squadron of powerful four-engined flying battleships which are nearing completion will fly in formation to Singapore in December, and a new fly-ing-boat squadron is being formed at Pembroke.
