THE MICHIGAN DAILY Annapolis, Md., Dec. 19.-At least a year and possibly two years will be re- quired before the nation can return to normal peace conditigns, said Secre- tary Daniels here today in an address to the conference of state governors.i Stating that a year and a half was re-I quired to contract with the British.J ships to carry 2,000,000 soldiers toI France, Secretary Daniels warned against over-optimism in expecting all soldiers home within a year. Due to the fact that the United States lost less in the war and hence is the rich- est nation with long shore lines, he urged a big increase in the navy.

MORRILL 17 NICKELS ARCADE ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN III -- '- - ~ - /&, 2~~t...__ A :REGULAR : SHOE Cordovan For Men Washington, D. C.-American army aviators in the United States flew an estimated distance of 30,000,000 miles in a single week in June, or 1,223 times the distance around the equator. This is one of the interesting facts developed in the annual report by Major-general William L. Kenley, chief of military aeronautics. He pointed out that aviators flew 407,999 hours in the fiiscal year as against 745 hours in 1914 when the United States scarcely had an aerial establishment. Nation Lacks in 1914 The Allied mission, backed by the French premier called for 2,000 planes a month, a total of 5,000 pilots and 50,000 mechanicians. This was the forerunner of the original $640,000,- 000 appropriation by congress for avia- tion. Kenley pictured the nation as lamentably lacking in 1914 in airplane knowledge and facilities. Develops Rapidly In the two years thereafter, the Al- lies developed aviation remarkably, installing radio outfits, efficient photo- graphing processes, made regular bombing planes and developed engine efficiency to 500 horse power. The United States was without fac- ilities at the outbreak of the war, yet did a remarkable work in developing flies, mechanics and equipment, the general indicated. As against a per- sonnel of 65 officers and 1,120 men at the outset, there were Nov. 3, in air service, 14,230 officers and 124,767 men. Couldn't Catch Huns to Hit 'em Lieut Waldo 'McKee, ex-'18, of the United States field artillery, tells in a letter the day before peace was declared of chasing the hun in the latter part of the final offensive. Lieutenant McKee was given his commission as a second lieutenant at the Artillery school, France. He was with the headquarters of his brigade when the armistice was signed. "We have chasedthe huns over 30 kilos in a straight line," he says, "which means that we have traveled over 50 miles by.road - and such roads! We would get into position about 9 or 10 o'clock at night and I would get my detail out and run lines the rest of the night. Perhaps we would have a few shots the next morning and then pull out and beat it ahead. The last three days we had not a wink of sleep and averaged meal of corned beer, crackers and water per day." 900 MARK TO BE PASSED IN LIT COLLEGE BY VACATION Re-enrollment number of the men students in the literary college are expected to go far above the 900 mark total before the Christmas vacation begins. This total does not include the students in the naval unit, should they be released today. About 40 former S. A. T. C. men re-enrolled in this college during the last two days. Five men who recently re- turned from several of the army camps also registered.
