MILITARY AEROPLANES.
BRITAIN’S PLANS. London, July 19. Col. Seely, in reply to Mr Lee, said the War Office was considering the question of prizes for military aeroplanes. The Army Council had been considering the numbers of trained observers necessary for Britain’s present war requirements. It was decided that from 80 to 100 officers, who were also pilots, were required. The Council proposed to grant aid for training officers in civilian schools of aviation, and approved of officers obtaining pilots’ certificates being classed as “army airmen.” A distinguishing mark in the army list was to bo made at the earliest date. ' Air battalion officers and aviator officers, when attached, would receive engineer pay besides their regimental pay.
