AUTHOR. 94, DEAD
Was Active in Literary Work
Until Near End. Despite
Injuries in Accidents.
Mrs. Mary E. Ireland, noted author i
and translator, died here Saturday j
night in the ninety-fourth year of her
age. Site had been in failing health '
since having her arm broken in an ac
cident several years ago and death is j
said to have resulted from the conse
quent strain of that and another aeci
| dent following it.
I Although in failing health, Mrs.
j Ireland maintained her faculties until
I the last and only a few weeks ago a
I manuscript was sent t<> her for trans
j lation. As late as 1922 she published !
! three volumes of translations.
Her Stories Popular.

| was ‘ Timothy and His Friends.” pub- j
j lished in 1902. which ran into seven
editions. Other stories included ' Ot
terbrook's Blessings.” also published
in 1902: “Under the Cherry Blossoms.”
in 1903, and other volumes. Most of
her translations were from the histori
cal German romances.
! Born in Calvert. Cecil County, Md..
the daughter of Joseph and Harriet
Haines, Mrs. Ireland was the sixth in
descent from Richard Haines, Quaker,
who came to this country from Ox
fordshire in H 582. She also was a
direct descendent, on her mother s
side, of Roger Kirk of Kurgan, Ulster.
Ireland.
After attending school on
Island she was married to John M.
Ireland, a county merchant, who died
in 1911.
Resident Here 35 Years.

PLYING WITH GEN. PATRICK
BY MAT GEN. M. M. PATRICK.
Chief of the Army Air Corps.
Aviation and the World War.
The advent of America into the
World War' necessitated immediate j
and hitherto unprecedented expansion j
in all branches of our military estab
lishment. Our allies realized that j
much time would elapse before we j
could raise, train, equip and transport ;
armies capable of producing decisive j
results on a battlefield 3,000 miles ,
away. Moreover, at that time it was i
not considered that a v ast American j
Army was either possible or necessary j
for victory. France believed that |
America could most effectively aid in J
winning the war by providing a large j
3ir force and proposed a program in- j
volving the formation of a flying corps
of 4.500 airplanes—personnel and ma
terial included—to be sent to the
French front during the campaign of
1918.
To this program was added the task
of producing some 10,000 training
planes required for the training of the j
personnel necessary to man the serv- 1
ice machines. To visualize the mag- j
nitude of this undertaking it is neces- 1
sary to recall to mind the rather puny j
nucleus which had been 14 years in j
developing and • which it was now j
sought to expand, virtually overnight.!
into the greatest aerial army of all j
time.
Number Enrolled April 6, 1917.
On April 6. 1917. the American Air i
Force consisted of 65 officers, of whom j
35 held flying ratings, and 1,087 en- j
listed men and had only two estab- j
lished flying fields. It had practically j
no material, personnel or experience j
in designing, producing or use of aero
nautical equipment.
The official records show that prior
to 1917. a total of 142 airplanes had
been delivered to the U. S. Army. A
large portion of these was already ob
solete and many had been destroyed.
Not one of them was suitable for use
on the battle front. Effective censor
ship excluded Americans from any
knowledge of the closely guarded se
| crets o? European military aircraft
ind their extensive development up to ,
i this time. Although several com
panies and individuals had been pro
ducing. in a small way, very simple
planes and engines of a limited ca- j
pacit.v, adequate manufacturing fa- j
eilitics for the production of aero- J
nautical equipment of a war type did j
not exist in this country.
Another obstacle to quantity pro- j
duction of planes was the lack of
ready availability of necessary raw
materials. The knowledge of military
aircraft gleaned by our allies from
three years of warfare was now at
our disposal, yet it required time to
obtain and assimilate this knowledge
and to adapt it to American methods.
Money, the magic lubricant of the
wheels of industry, was now available,
vet, as the president of the national
advisory committee very aptly re
marked, no amount of money will buy
time.
Air Force Growth Cited.
The details of tills struggle against
time ate too many to lie recounted in
'.his brief article. How well American
brains and initiative backed by Ameri
j can dollars reacted to the task, under
! pressure of war conditions, is be.-t
j related by the results attained. On
jshe date of cessation of hostilities, j
i slightly more than a year and a half j
, later, our air force had grown to the I
strength of 20.56 S officers, a large pe r- ;
rentage of whom were qualified air- j
plane pilots, and an enlisted and j
civilian iiersonnel of 174.456 equipped j
with .16.952 airplanes of all descrip- j
! (ions and operating 48 flying fields. i
i The one great project of the air- :
| craft program which dwarfted all j
others in its conception, its executing I
! and its ultimate importance as an j
j American contribut ion toward the win
j ring of the war was the Liberty en
j nine-. The difficulty of obtaining sat
i isfactory aviation engines in quantity
| had limited the size of till air services
j abimad. Increased lower and better
j performance were incessantly demand-
I’d. Our problem was to develop an
i engine with increased horsepower,
j and to produce it in greater quantity
•'ban evT befote attained. Through
- the collaboration of some of the best
| engineering minds of America, the
! plans for this remarkable engine were
' completed in the short period of live
j days. The first engine was built and
' ready for test 28 days after the draw
| ings were begun. Many changes in
| details were necessary, but the general
principles were proven successful be
yond the expectations of the most op
timistic. The plans were finished on
June 4 1917. By November It, 19]8,
production had reached 150 engines
per day and over 13.909 had been built.
