SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. A.
The United States government has de-

International aviation meet at South

troops are to guard the danger zone
where the military and naval target

explosives. These troops will be camp
ed on the grounds at Aviation field
during the entire period of the meet
and will be continually on guard so
that the valuable aeroplanes may suf

These projectiIes will be tested for

used in actual wap'fare. Shrapnel,
