Washington, Nov. 2. -Twenty aero planes at least are needed for the United Suites government service said Oeneral James Allen, chief signal officer In his annual report made pub lic hist night. The aeroplanes should he on regu lar practice at different points In the country throughout. They should I prewnt In camps of Instruction for regular troops and organized militia. Twenty aeroplanes would provide but two for each camp of instruction. To operate this number, would require at least twenty specially trained of ficers a.i pilots. In addition to this each machine must carrly at least one observer, which, experience has shown, will require much training and actual prantlce before the usefulness of the heavier than air machine Is attained. General Allen deprecates the fact that although the United States was the first nation officially to recognize the aeroplane for military purposes, this government has not kept pace with the world In the development of military aeronautics. Summed up, the aero equipment of the United States nrmy consists of one small practice dirigible balloon one Wright aeroplane and three small captive liallootis, says the geenral. The signal corps has only one lieu tenant and nine enlisted men on duty in conectlon with aeronautics and the chief signal officer says, until the corpse Is increased by congressional legislation, It will be Impossible to furnish more officers and men for the absolutely necessary training demand ed. Geenral Allen combats the oft re peated assertion that the United States owing to Its Isolated position is not likely to become Involved in war, and that therefore the most economical procedure In aerial navigation It to wait until other nations have deter mined upon the types beet suited to military purposes, thus shifting the tixpense of experiment and develop ment to other nations. In view of the difficulties which ships bearing the United States flax have in communicating with foreign ports, Oeneral Allen recommends that the matter of this coutnry becoming a party to the internatloanl convention for the control of wlrelesa telegraphy again be brought before the senate. He also recommends appropriate leg islative action looking to definite fed eral cotnrol of wireless telegraphy and telephony. CAPT.

Endeavoring to Conceal Their Identity, Many Are Said to Be Assisting in Demonstrations Numerous Recruits. SOCIETY WOMEN ARRESTED, SOME INJURED WITH CLUBS Many Presented Calling Cards it Station Homes, and Were Released by the Astonished Bluecoats. CHICAGO, Nov. 2. Demonstra tions by the striking garment workers were resumed today. The strikers claimed to have received many recruits. The police force maintained order with ease.

A Riot This Afternoon. The entire reserve force of West Chicago avenue police station was ailed to quell a riot of 800 persons t West Huron and May streets this afternoon. There were a dozen ar rests. The mounted police which charg ed threatening mobs of the strik ing garment workers, and made numerous arrests in three quarters of Chicago, were dumbfounded when they met groups of obdurate club women and society leaders who, when taken into custody, produced engrav ed calling cards ut police stations in lieu of bonds. It was a new experience for the po lice and it plainly confused them. A score of these women, championing the garment workers, were taken Into custody but they were immediately released when their Identities became known. One Woman Struck by a Club. One woman was struck by a police man's club but her name did not be come known, as the was hurriedly placed In an automobile and taken home. Mjst ol the club women involved in the disorders were garbed as work ing girls, and the police could not dis tinguish them from strikers until after arrests were made. Riotous and spectacular scenes developed down town, on the north side and on the west tide. More than &00 men and women engaged in the down town demonstration which wat broken up by the police after consid erable trouble. As they left their head quarters In LaSalle street, the strikers and their sympathizers clanged beUs, blew whistles and tooted horns. The line of march proceeded into the wholesale district near the Chicago river, passing large tailor 'ag establish ments whose employes were beckoned to join the strikers. More than 2000 took part In one of several Incipient riots on the west side. In each In stance women led the strikers and their friends. Charge Against the Police. I would take an oath that we were doing absolutely nothing beyond the law," said Miss Ellen Starr, a club woman. "The only persons who were violating the law were the policemen, who treated ut roughly and hurt dreadfully with their clubs some of the poor boys we were leading peacefully paat the shops." Miss S. M. Franklin, another volun teer picket was Indignant because of the manner In which she had been treated by the potce. I know they wouldn't have let m go If I hadn t presented my card, said Mlaa Franklin. 'They seem to think that I wat particularly danger ous. Perhaps It would have been a good plan to let them take me to Jail and Just prove to them how little legal foundation they have to stand on." Promises from wealthy women to open their hornet to destitute striking girls, offers of picket service from women, social and club leaden, and pledges of assistance from many oth er women were received by Mn. Ray mond Robins, president of the Worn an's Trade Union league, Mn. W. M. Hopklna and Mn. Oeneral Simpson. Deputy Factory Inspector Helen M Todd. who addressed a meeting of striken, volunteered to address 'a I meeting of the Chicago university on the south side tonight. Mn.
