AMERICAN EXPANSION PLANS SUPPLIES TO FIGHTING FRONTS. ONE WAY OF CHECKMATING SUBMARINES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, July 20. The Army Department has announced that United States civil air lines will be extended throughout the world to carry men, material and mail to all theatres of war where Americans are involved. Brigadier-General Harold George, commander of the Air Transport Command, said that the air lines will be used to the limit of their capacities. When saturation point is reached, where the commercial personnel is exhausted, the Army will take over. The announcement apparently means that planes will be used to the fullest possible extent as lines of communications with bases and fighting fronts, thus decreasing the effectiveness of enemy submarine warfare.
