NEW METHOD OF AIR FIGHTING
MAY BE TRIED IN PRESENT WAR

Fishing for the enemy's air craft
with bombs is the newest terror of
modern warfare, made possible by the
invention of A Steinmetz of Phila del
phia, a nationally known aviation en-
thusiast
The military aviator, with the new
device, will go angling for hostile
aeroplanes and dirigibles, using a line
and hook to which is attached bomb
and high explosive power.
The object of the aviator being to
destroy his prey, the hook is made so
that the moment one of the barps
catches in anything the bomb ex-
plodes and at the same time the fish
ing line or cable, which is let out by
a reel, is severed permitting the air
ship destroyer to fly away unharmed
as the enemys craft, torn into a
thousand pieces, hurtles to the
ground.
Steinmetz device will be useful main
ly in offensive operations against air
craft, and its object is to provide for
the destruction of an airship by an
other airship, which itself incurs
little risk or injury.
Preferably the attacking airship
will be an aeroplane. since this type
of airship is capable Of quickly
char nging its direction at high speed
and of rising or falling at the will of
the operator.
BY employing the Steinmetz meth
Cd a swift aeroplane could mount high
over another craft and then by speed
ing ahead place itself in position for
casting it's line. Then in a moment
the line could be thrown over the
other craft. Destruction would be al
most instantaneous and of course
thorough. However. in such a case it
would be necessary for the airde-
stroyer to have a controlling speed
over the craft to be attacked or it
could not get into position to cast it's
line with absolute certainty.
Again two aeroplanes could circle
around a dirigible just as 1t was
about to leave the hangar, drop their
deadly lines into the silken folds Of
the balloon and leave 1t a wreck with
out endangering themselves to any
great extent. Even one speedy aero
plane, operated by careful men. could
do the job with ease and dispatch In

Plan Proposed for the Relief of the

Washington.-Plans for the relief of the South from embarrassment grow ing out of the closing of European markets during the war are expected to assume definite shape here soon.
 The Southern Cotton Congress. com posed of cotton men from every Southern state, held special session called to deal with the war situa- tion, and Southern senators and repre. sentatiyes will cooperate in perfect ing of financial legislation to enable growers to hold part of the crop over until market conditions become more nearly normal.
 One plan details of which have been worked out by Southern con gressmen in consultation with experts of the Department of Agriculture is embodied in measure introduced in the Senate by Senator Hoke Smith and in the house by Representative Lever, The measure will propose es- tablishment of a chain of licensed and bonded warehouses where cot ton may be stored and be made the collateral for issuance of emergency currency.

WILD RUSH TO GET HOME
Americans In London Wlilina to Ac- cept Any Kind of Accommodation
Offered Them.

London.-There were more Amer, cans in the west end of London dur. Ing the days following the declaration of war than Englishmen They were chiefly crowded about the offices of the American Express company and of the steamship lines trying to get checks cashed and secure passage home
 The express companies were able to afford much relief to those in financial straits and the steamship companies booked hundreds of passages, although no guarantee could be given that Brit. ish steamers would sail until their safety was assured by the navy.
 The greatest demand therefore was for berths on American liners. Per sons who usually travel in the most luxurious cabins were eagerly buying berths in the steerage which had been secured by earlier visitors to the steamship offices who were offering them for sale, but at greatly increased prices. The main office of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine was damned with Americans, and a like condition prevailed at the offices of the Cunard and Canadian lines. which were still doing business
 Rush on Express Offices.
 The express companies offices. which opened at an early hour. were crowded, They were we'll supplied with currency and honored their checks up to $50. The American Ex- press company supplied the temporary wants of over 5000 persons from the time the office opened until 2 o'clock this afternoon. There were still hun dreds in line desiring gold in exchange for their checks. They were told to return next morning.
 The Wells Fargo Express company, which issues checks chiefly to west erners. was open all day. The cash. iers were kept busy honoring checks
