7' 16 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919. I' ll. S. HAS SECOND LARGEST NAVAL AERO SERVICE Wonderful Growth of Branch of Navy Fighting Force After This Country Enters War. Washington, Sept. 5. Although its origin was an almost insignificant corps, the United States naval avia tion service was expanded so rapidly during the war that when the Ger mans quit it was the second largest naval flying force in the world. De velopment of the service, hitherto a cmefully guarded secret, was dis closed by the Navy department to day in the first of a series of an nouncements dealing with naval aerial activity since April, 1917. When the United Statesentered the world conflict it maintained a miall naval aerial establishment, with the principal station at Pensa cola, Fla. The personnel at that station was 38 aviators and 163 en listed men and the equipment con sisted of 22 seaplanes, five kite balloons and two free balloons. Forces Organized. A department of aviation was or ganized immediately and the vari ous bureaus took up the work of providing men and equipment. The bureau of steam engineering took charge of the development and manufacture of motors and radio equipment; the bureau of construc tion and repair dealt with the hulls and wings of the planes; the ord nance department provided machine guns and bomb launching devices and thousands of tons of high ex plosives, and the bureau of naviga tion supplied and trained thousands of officers and enlisted men. The armistice found the navy with more than 1,500 aviators, 1,300 ground officers, and 35,000 enlisted men with 4,000 flight officers and 10,000 enlisted men in training. There were in commission 1,400 sea planes and airplanes and about 300 lighter-than-air craft of all types. More than 1,200 officers and 19,000 enlisted men together with 388 sea planes, 140 airplanes and 42 kite balloons were sent to the war zone. Has Seven Stations. Meantime the single station main tained in the United States prior to the war had grown to seven training stations, ten patrol stations, nine rest and refueling stations, two, ex perimental stations and a number of additional stations for various pur poses were under construction. They formed a girdle that en circled the entire seacoast of the country. In Europe there were es tablished and in operation 28 Ameri can naval flying stations, two train ing stations and 17 bombing sta tions located in England, Ireland, France and Italy. There also was a marine aviation station in the Azores. A capable administrative force, drawn by the navy from civilians, administered the affairs of the serv- ios, with great success, but regular navy officers were in direct charge. Technical and manufacturing ex perts of international reputation represented the navy at the bases abroad and in this country. Their loyal services with those of the fliers, made possible the achieve ments which brought from Admiral William S. Sims the following praise for the work of the naval -aviation service in the war: Sims Praises Men. ."Please express to the naval avia tors of America my most sincere appreciation of their courageous and loyal performance of duty at home and abroad throughout the war. Their brilliant exploits, their deter mination to win, will ever remain one cf the highest tributes to Ameri can manhood. The performance of duty of these young naval aviators under my command has not only been in keeping with the very best traditions of our naval service, but has in addition won for America the enthusiastic praise of her allies." The American naval aviators car ried out joint patrols with the Brit ish, French and Italian naval air forces, raiding enemy submarine bases and aircraft bases at Ostend, Zeebrugge, Bruges. Helgoland, Pola, Trieste and various other points. . Large quantities of planes, subma rines, materials, buildings, hangars, supply stations, ammunition dumps and other valuable military projects were destroyed. Act as Convoys, , Seaplane patrols and aerial con voys were particularly successful. After the installation of American seaplane patrols and during thou sands of miles of convoy, only one ship in such convoys protected by seaplanes was ever successfully at tacked. In the 10 months Amer ican patrols were active only three ships were lost in the entire area between Penmarch and Isle d'Yeu. British, French and Italian of ficial records give the American naval aviation forces credit for at tacking 95 per cent of all subma rines sighted while on patrol, in spite of terrific weather conditions at times, and of damaging 45 per cent and sinking 25 per cent of all those attacked. The exact number of submarines sighted, attacked and sunk cannot be made public until the compilation of figures contained in allied records is completed. Henry Cabot Lodge Is Other H. C. L. Now . Troubling Capital "There are. two H. C. Li's trou bling Washington, D. C, just now, and they are the high cost of living and Henry Cabot Lodge." said Clara F. Cooper, principal of Web ster school, when she returned Thursday from a visit in the na tional capital. "I spent 15 days of my vacation in Washington and enjoyed it very much," she related. "I heard Senator Keed speak four hours on high cost - of living and saw Senator Lodge place his arms around the neck of Senator La Follette." - Miss Cooper has much admiration for Senator Lodge whom she Knows. She believes that her visit will have eal pedagogical value, " j STORE OPEN UNTIL 6 P. M.
