Taken all in all, the American army
is spending a real American Christ-
Unitedlmas in France-
States for two purposes. First, the
conditions in certain sections of the
United States are better than in Italy, j
and second, the utilization of training
airplanes and equipment in the United
States will save the tonnage involved
in transportation to this side. Expedi
tionary headquarters has recommended
that the American government provide
for the construction of schools, the
- manufacture of p.irplanes and engines
n Italian models and the feeding and
housing of skilled pilots and students.
The expense is to be met by Italy at a
price to be determined later. It In
planned to have the program become
effective in the middle of 1918.
