E NOT KEPT PACE
IN USE OF AEROPLANE
Washington. Nov. 15 Denenil
James Allen, chief signal officer, ol
the army, declares, In his annual re
port that although the Lnited States
was the first nation to recognize the
aeroplane lor military purposes and
carried out tho first official test of
that Invention at Fort. Mover in 1908
such phenomenal progress in this
science has been made, that the
United States "has been lett far be
hind in securing practical equipment
and organization for the use of this
iudtspeusable adjunct of war."
The failure to find the necessary
officers to be trained as aviators and
the lack of funds, it Is said, furnish
the explanation for this situation.
