Liberty Motors Turned Out
In Steadily Rising Numbers
Ouantity Production Reached After One Plant Uses
51.000.G00 in T?sts?Packard Factory
Making Twenty a Dav
By Theodore M. Knappen
DETROIT, May 23. Toll the crowd ;
that i* "lynching t*ie aircrafters" ;
that ...000 Liberty motors have been
put on the testing block ar.d blown
drei burned up and they will know that
th* grcat aircraft programme has i
failed. Tell them that there is a
million dollars' worth of Liberty motor
scrap at ont> factory ??^ tnc-' W>H
charge conspiracy. Well, they arc do- j
ins Ju:st th,s thing tr>e aircrafters.
And it is because they and the men !
behind them in the aircraft programme
have been brave enough and strong
enough and decisive enough to do just
-uch things that the production of Lib?
erty motors is now beginning to re?
semble a rising flood.
The makers of aircraft have plunged
and plqnged again and again.
They know what war is. They know
it is destruction.
They have done what the country :
would have them do. They have taken :
great chances and wasted like con
nuerors. But they have won in one
of the greatest and most impressive
gamble, in all history.
Stupendous Task Conquered
The stupendous task of turning the
volume producing machines that have
made America the supreme manufact
nrinf nation of the world to the war- ?
?inning job of turning out airplane
motors and 'planes as they turn out ;
cash registers and automobiles, shoes
and canned goods has been conquered.,
The story of this success in the face
of abuse, slander, misunderstanding,
misrepresentation and ignorance is one
,,f the romances of American manu?
facturing?-a romance touched with
deepest tragedy.
This story will be told later, and
?hen the. public comes to understand
bo? completely the spotlight has been
occupied by the false prophets and ?
^ake "authorities" it will wonder how
?t was possible to create such an
atmosphere of misconception and de?
preciation as has surrounded the
whole aircraft production campaign.
It is important, though, that the
public be advised that the aircraft
programme, however much delayed
?nd however much injured by press
agcnting that had mor? emotion than
judgment, is now beginning to deliver
the long promised goods and that in
doing so it is still achieving wonder?
fully and bringing to pass what even
friendly critics thought impossible.
Twenty Motors Built Each Day
In the last two days I have seen
enough of production and impending
production of Liberty motors in two of
the six factories that have contracts
to be able to reaffirm all that I have
previously said about the assured suc?
cess of quantity production.
Liberty motors are being made in
the Packard plant here now faster
than airplane motors were ever built
before in either France or England.
The Packard factory is turning out
from twenty to thirty of the big motors
a day. whereas thirty to thirty-five a
week is the best record of the largest
European plant, and the latter em?
ploys (-.000 men on the work as against
2,500 in the Liberty motor section of
the Packard plant. It is easy to.sec
that the thousand rivulets that feed
tho river of production are now run?
ning bankful, wiHh a certainty ?that
within another thirty days at the out?
side the Packard plant will be con?
tributing fifty motors a day to the con?
fusion of the Hun.
At Indianapolis yesterday in the
magnificent plant of the Nordyke-Mar
mon Company I saw a sight good for
eyes made sore by reading the reports
of the Aeronautical Society.
Quantity Production Reached
That company, after completing one
thousand Hall-Scott motors for train?
ing 'planes in record time, is now
turning to Liberty motors. The peak
of production has almost been reached,
and when it "breaks" it will have a
deep and steady and growing stream
behind it.
The Lincoln company here is in
production. Ford is on the verge of
his production and the other factories
are coming on.
The facts in detail will come later,
but the encouraging thing for the pub?
lic to get and hold fast is that a suc?
cessful and practically unrivalled
motor is now being produced by quan?
tity production methods at a rate of
about thirty a day, with only two
^factories actually producing, that at
least three more will be in large pro?
duction within thirty days, and tha*
from that time on the Liberty motor
question will be only one of providing
enough 'planes 'for its utilization in
both Europe and America. The motor
is now historic. The problems of the
present are 'planes and transportation.

tients, and made a heavy attack
on Paris. The British have done
great damage to Mannheim and
other German centres.
A common sign that the Allied air
efforts are striking home is seen
in the German repetition of the
complaint that bombs are harro
ing the Belgian and French civil?
ians in occupied territory.
Berlin reports downing three Amer?
ican 'planes on the Lys battle?
field, the first hint that United
States fliers were engaged there.
The Germans also state the gunfire
is especially heavy in the Kemmel
region, south of Ypres, scene of
so many desperate struggles this
spring.
Marshal Haig's reports to-day told
of lively trench raiding activity
on the British front, besides
"heavy artillery engagements in i
some sectors.
The Italians have won a success at
Monte di Val Bella, capturing an
Austrian outpost, entering Stoc

Crush British; Win
Channel; Take Paris,
Ludendorfi's Plan
By Arthur S. Draper
i Special Cable to The Tribune)
LONDON, May 23.?LudendorfF has
massed a gigantic weight of men and
material by which he hopes to break
through the Allied line at several
points on the West front. His strategy
calls for: First, the crushing of the
British army and the weakening of
Foch's reserves; second, the capture of
the Channel ports and the destruction
of British communications between
northern Prance and England, and
third, the capture of Paris.
Naturally he has a lot of secondary
objects, such as the capture of Haze
biouck, Arras, Doullens and Amiens, all
of which are of little military value
but represent definite things in the
minds of the Germans as well as the
Allied peoples.
Those who are best qualified to judge
believe that the new offensive will last
longer than the first, and that it wil
not end until Ludendorff has exhaustec
his forces or obtained all of his ob
jectives. They believe that it will rui
well into midsummer, and that at it!
conclusion Germany will be ready fo
peace, and, failing to obtain it, she wil
fall back on the defensive.
Ludendorff will either win a grea
victory or lose the initiative, perhap
lor all time if America fulfils all ex
pectations. Statesmen and soldier
have stated several times recently thei
belief that the war will end this year.

few months or the German internal
situation is bound to prove trouble
i ?orne before snow falls. Though the
Allied peoples view the future with
? anxiety, it must be remembered that
; the same anxiety exists in Germany.
When the German press was di- ,
I rected to combat the effect of rumors ?
? regarding losses and explain the i
cau.es of delay in operations, when
half of the army believes that Hindcn
; burg is dead, when the liberal poli
I ticians join the Socialists in their pro
! tests against food rations, when lead- i
ing naval critics are skeptical over i
the success of the submarine cam- :

a tacital success.
Germans to Find
Allies Stronger
Along Whole Line
i.Bi The Associated Press)
ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
! FRANCE, May 23.?Uncertainty still
| exists as to when the Germans will rc
1 new their offensive and where their
j blows will fall, but whenever the inter
! rupted battle is reopened the enemy
I will find various disadvantageous
| changes in the situation as compared
j with the first stage of the struggle that
j he began on March 21.
For one thing, the German soldiers
I car. hardly possess a, degree of conli- :
i donee equal to that which inspired j
them at the opening of this year's ^reat
! drive, now thai, they have seen the I
' promises' made them of a decisive fight j
i which was to bring a rapid peace fail j
| of fulfilment.
Surprise Now Impossible
Many of their best troops have bee.i j
1 destroyed without the armies attaining |
; their objectives. This has depressed
the spirits of the remainder, causing j
them to wonder whether further sacri- i
fices may also be useless. A repetition
of a powerful surprise attack has been I
rendered almost impossible, since the I
complete unity of the French, British
and American troops enables the Allied
1 generalissimo to control the whole
front.
The Allies are certainly better pre?
pared than they were before aaid are
watchful for whatever may be coming. |
Thus, although the German masses may \
be thrown against the Allied front in a
heavy, smashing blow at some point,
the Allied unity of command is counted
upon to make possible an efficient inter- i
vention of forces at a propitious mo
ment to prevent any part of the line !
being overwhelmed.
Losses of territory may be expected !
in the first rush, but that is to be !
counted as unimportant while the j
armies continue intact. i
Data is plentiful concerning the den- '
. ity of the German armies holding the
front line, but although at some places
the enemy forces are stronger than at j
others, the locality where the real of
fensive will be launched is still left in :
doubt, as the operation is likely to be ,
executed by other masses brought from j
the rear, where they are concentrated, j
These may be transported with great
rapidity to any part of the front, either !
in Flanders or further south, the celer- i
ity possible to the German transport ;
being due to the enemy holding the in- j
terior lines.
Foch Is Ready
The commander in chief of the Allies
has taken all precautions, so that
wherever the blow falls the enemy will
find the French, British, Americans and
Belgians before him ready.
The opposing aerial squadrons are
extremely active, as is usual before a
great battle, but a very small number
of German fliers have been able to come
over the Allied lines, owing to the su- |
periority of the Allied airmen and air- \
craft, which is more marked daily. Not !
a moment's rest is allowed German de?
pots and concentration centres, where !
there is a constant harrying, causing
evident discomfort to the troops in ad- !
dition to great material damage. ;
Convicts Used

German Ranks
i Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, May 23,-Germany's
man power was disastrously reduced by |
the offensive begun on March 21, and I
drastic measures are being enforced by ?
the government to obtain reinforce- ?
ments for the Western front, accord?
ing to a statement obtained at the j
State Department to-da.y, which fol- '
lows: ?
"One of the papers in a neutral ,
country near Germany publishes an ar- !
tide from a correspondent which states
that, because of the losses Germany ?
suffered in the offensive the German
government has had to take drastic
measures to obtain men for the army, j
"Convict battalions are being
formed: a good many men have been
taken from the munition factories, in ?
some only women and children and old
men being left: the garrisons along
the Dutch frontier have been stripped
of men, and many troops from the Ru?
manian front who have been described
as unfit for fighting along the West?
ern front because of the 'soft war1, they
have had, have been taken."
The department has received a re
port also stating that the German
troops in Finland, numbering 20,000, i
are of a very inferior type.
Resigned as Ensign/ j
Met Death as Private
? .
George J. Brown?killed in action.
Back of that announcement in yester?
day's casualty list is a little story
which illustrates well the spirit of the
American army in France.
George Brown was twenty-three
years old. He lived with his parents,
of whom he was the chief support, at
6420 Eighteenth Avenue, Brooklyn.
At the outbreak of the war he en- \
listed in the navy, and because of his ;
I experience as a telegraph operator was
I assigned as censor of cables with the
j rank of ensign. When wealthy and
I older men volunteered to do the work
he promptly resigned and enlisted as
a private in the army so that he might
go to the firing line. He was killed
j on May 4.
I John Maciezkowicz, another Broo.k- i
; lyn boy, reported killed in action, was
i also twenty-three years old. Before he
enlisted he lived with his brother at
300 Metropolitan Avenue, Williams
burg. His death occurred on May 14.
Among those seriously wounded is
John W. Laffcrty, who has a brother,
Vincent, living at 443 Bleecker Street,
Williamsburg. Lafferty is 41 years old
and enlisted with an engineers, regi?
ment which was recruited at Detroit,
Mich. :
Patrick G. McHugh, of 306 Fifth
street, Brooklyn, is among those seri?
ously wounded. He lived with his
sister, Mrs. Margaret Brown, at that
address. He is 28 years old- and was
artiong the drafted men sent to Camp
Upton last November.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday, May 22.?The
accuracy of the American artillery
fire on the Picardy front is attested
by information that eight out of ten
German batteries which have been ac?
tive in bombarding the American posi?
tions have been destroyed by the
American artillerymen since their en?
try into this sector. Aerial photo?
graphs show that direct hits were ob?
tained in most instances.
In aaddition to this the American
guns have been busy in tearing up the
enemy's rear lines and setting his am
! munition dumps and billets on fire,
while patrols from the American lines
have been harassing the Germans
nightly.
The marked increase recently in the '
enemy aerial activity along this front J
has raised the question whether it may j
not be a prelude to new a^Jion by ;
enemy infantry. Whether or not th'is ?
be the case, the American troops hold
ing the line are becoming restless and I
eager for a chance to get at the enemy. ;
One hears frequently the conviction !
expressed that if the numbers are any
where near equal the Germans will :
be giver, an unwelcome surprise.
Already the American resourceful?
ness on patrol has caused the Germans ;
considerable alarm, according to pris- |
oners, who admit J^le Americans nave {
lew equals in this style of fighting.
Enemy aircraft have been extremely!
active since the advent of the new!
moon. Villages and roads in the raar
of the American lines have been !
bombed, and some of the villages ?
visited by the hostile aviators present j
pitiful scenes of destruction. The :
military damage done has been neglig- i
ible. But a number of civilians have !
been killed, most of them women and ;
children.
The American soldiers and nurses in !
touch with the French population in !
the areas that have received visitations I
are freely offering aid and comfort to
the distressed. That some of the j
American hospitals have not been dam- i
aged is no fault of the enemy, but is j
due to good fortune, as the Germans
are apparently dropping their bombs ;
without any consideration of military i
objectives.
The aren under bombardment from
the air is that between the American
front and Paris, and nightly the air
over this district is humming with
enemy motors, while the American and
French anti-aircraft guns are keeping
up an almost continuous barrage.
