DICKINSON WANTS WAR AEROPLANES U. S. Lagging in Air Equipment for Army, Secretary Says in Report WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—As might have been expected after hia personal nights in aerolanea in France, Secre tary Dickinson comes out in his an nmil report with a strong indorsement o£ the flying machine and with a re-commendation to congreßs for an appropriation to provide the signal corps with a reasonable number of the hotter type of machine for in struction purposes and field work. Ho recalls the fact that the United States was the first nation to officially recognize the aeroplane for military purposes and conducted at Fort Myer in I!XM tho firat pubile flight of a heavier than air machine, yet it has made no addition tb its aeronautical equipment, which at present consists of one email dirigible balloon, one Wright aeroplane and three small cap tive balloons. The secretary calls attention to the fact that the entrance to Chesapeake bay, ono of tho most Important po.nts strategically on the Atlantic sea coast, is wholly unfortified. At another im portant point, the eastern entrance to Long Island sound, additional guns are needed. Except for these in stances, so far as guns alone are con cerned, the sea coast defenses at al! home ports are in a satisfactory state, but much remains to be done In pro viding such auxiliaries as searchlights and in developing the flre control sys tem, which will require about $4,000,000 of expenditure. Congress is asked to authorize an expenditure of $19,546,843 for the forti fication of the termini of tho Panama canal.

Dec. 9.—Prior to the publication of the government estimate! the cotton market was very nervous, and for the last week or more there has been more or less liquidation by smaller speculative longs, apprehensive that prices were based on an under estimate of the yield.

The bears maintain the gov ernment must have underestimated the crop. After closing at the regular hour the English market reopened for business Just before the government report was issued, and remained open until the close of the market here, with the final prices there showing a gain for the day equivalent to from 20 to 33 American points.
