MINES IN THE AIR
Americans Idea Of Combating
the ZeppeIins.
PhlladeIphIan Has Designed Project
Which He Believes VIII Be Effec-
tive n Air Raids Should Be
Put Into Operation.

Picture monster Zeppelin, as long
as an ocean liner, laden with tons OF
death-dealing explosives, creeping
through the murky mist of winter
night toward London. Picture, again,
II you can. the skies turned to fame
and the heavens shattered as the hun
dreds of thousands of cubic feet of
hydrogen gas explodes, scattering the
sinister craft in tiny pieces over the
streets and housetops Of the city.
That is the graphic sketch of what
is likely to occur If the Zeppelins at
tempt serious raid on London, as
given by Joseph A. Steinmetz of Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Steinmetz is the orig
inator Of the first serious considered
scheme of mining the air and the in.
ventor Of the trailing bombs for the
destruction of dirigibles.
In few words, the plan devised by
Mr.. Steinmetz is to install on all the
buildings in threatened area large
number of hydrogen balloons. They
are held ready for instant use, and
each Is attached to fine wire two
niles long, wound on windlass. The
wire is so small that a mile of 1t
Weighs but four pounds, while it has a
ensile strength Of 120 pounds.

ut, would be permitted to proceed un-
I'll almost over the objective point
Then, simultaneously, scores Of the
balloons, to each of which is attached
a highly explosive, inflammable
bomb, would be released.
Each bomb is surrounded with a
ring of hair triggers, and the slight.
est touch would cause an explosion
which would unquestionably ignite
the gas in the dirigible. The plan is
to send a certain number of the mines
to given altitude, while others will
be anchored at different heights, thus
allowing the Zeppelin no chance to
escape.
The other method of destroying the
German craft Is along similar lines,
but differs in that it is conducted
through the use of aeroplanes. Each
machine is equipped with bombs such
as are used in the air mines. The

trailing wire is wound on spool

stopped at will.
The aeroplanes being swifter, would
be sent against the dirigible In fiocks
of three or four. The aviators would
depend on their speed and the great
altitude to which they can ascend to
keep out of range. At the proper time
the bombs would be released on the
wires and dash made at the enemy.
In addition to the triggers, which
can be locked until the bomb is ready

Honolulu-After making the heart.
rending discovery Sunday that rescuers
had been working in the wrong spot,
the United States submarine F-4 was
definitely located outside the harbor.
Pieces of the superstructure of the
vessel have been brought to the sur
face.
w. C. Parks, civil engineer, has
started construction of an immense
diving bell, large cast iron pipe
seven feet in height, fitted with heavy
plate glass ports.
A hydro-aeroplane has been made
ready for instant flight if required.
The dredge California will shift its
moorings, and tugs will criss-cross in
all directions. Should their drags
catch on the F-4, a chain net will be
woven around the submerged boat and
the floating crane from Pearl Harbor
will attempt direct lift.
Despair supplanted hope earlier in
the day when two divers discovered
that chains from the dredger Califor-
MIA, which had been fould with some
thing on the floor of the ocean outside
Honolulu harbor since Friday, were
not attached to the lost craft but to
an old anchor.
All the resources at the command of
naval officers here had been employed
for two days and nights in an effort to
raise this anchor which was supposed
to be the F-4.
1t is believed to have been lost by
the battleship Oregon.
Streams of bubbles seen rising to
the surface of the water and floating
patches Of oil had given encouragement
to the belief that the dredge's chains
had become lodged on the submarine,
which disappeared Thursday when at
target practice.
Efforts to raise the object that held
the dredge's chains failed and crews of
men worked untiringly to bring what
was confidently believed to be the un-
dersea craft into more shallow water.
Naval officers, expressing the hope
that life might remain in the bodies of
some. at least, of the 21 men impris-
oned in the F-4, sought to expedite
operations in every way possible.

Italy Awaiting More
Favorable Opportunity

Rome-Italian intervention has been
postponed again. Despite the failure
of Prince Won Buelow's negotiations to
conclude permanent agreement be-
tween Austria and Italy, there is posi-
tive evidence that this country will
not enter the war until toward the end
of April, and possibly not so early as
that.
It must not be understood that there
has been any change in Italy's atti-
tude, except in putting Off interven-
tion until date when it is expected
the Dardanelles will have been forced
and Constantinople occupied, possibly
with the cooperation Of Bulgaria, and
when the Russians will have passed
the Carpathians and invaded Hungary.
