by the British Association OF Magcl-

BRIDGE POLICE
PROTECT CRUISER
Squads on Brooklyn and
Manhattan Spans Guard
Against Bombs.

Extraordinary precautions were taken
20 protect the armored cruiser Wash
ngtou from bomb throwers while pass
ine beneath the Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan bridges yesterday on its return TO
the New York Navy Yard from Haytian
waters.
Seyenty-three policemen kept every
body of the structures who could not
answer all questions satisfactorily IN
their promenade across the bridges.
Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher
asked for the guards and caused the
cruiser 20 remain at Quarantine until
he had been assured that the police had
been distributed along the bridges. lie
explained that he wanted TO remove the
possibility Of bomb being dropped on
the craft. Commander Frank j. Up
ham. aid to the rear admiral, added TO
the mystery by denying that the police
had been asked TO guard the bridges
and saving that there was no reason
for calling for them.

SUBWAY THOUSANDS
IN GLOOM Is MINUTES
Trains Go Dead Throughout the
system. Due to Short Circuit.

Every subway train suddenly stopped
and lights went out last evening.
For fgtcen minutes passengers re-
NAMED prisoners on the stalled trains
or were neryously escorted to station
platforms and helped by guards
through the semi-darkness TO the street.
Threats Of bomb explosions current
Yesterday did not help the peace Of
mind of the thousands suddenly
plunged into underground gloom.
The trains stopped at 1920 o'clock.
Switches i'm the Ninety-sixth Street
rover house were automatically shut
of and the alarm that automatically
sounds in case Of accident changed.
For eight minutes repair men searched
for the accident. and, finding nothing
again turned on the power.
There was a sigh of relief among the
passengers when the lights were flashed
or and the trains began to move. But
their Joy was short lived. After a
rrogess of few hundred feet the cars
again stopped i'm darkness.
This time the halt was for ten min
utes. Repair men were rushed to every
station on the line. and. after consid-
erable searching, 1t was found that a
short circuit in the cable box at the
Grand Central Terminal had caused
the trouble. The accident was soon re-
paired and service resumed.
So far as could be learned last night
no accidents resulted from the tie-rp
and no report was made TO the police.

Bv GORDON BRUCE.

London, Feb. 6.-The sharpest con-
test Of engineering skill since the war
began is on. 1t has to do with the air
service. and the outcome will determine
which nation is master Of the skies.
Gradually the governments Of the
beligerent countries have awakened to
the realization that it is necessary to
excel in the air II they hope 20 win on
land and sea. The aeroplane has
proved its right to the term "the eyes
Of the forces" Thus the struggle to
increase tie efficiency of air craft has
waxed exceedingly bitter.
Recent raids on the Kentish coast
by hostile seapisnes, the resumption
OF activities by Zeppelins and the
appearance of better German machines
in France have aroused intense public
interest in England and spurred the
aeronautical engineers TO greater ef-
forts. The next few months will de-
eide many important questions.
Up to few weeks ago the German
aviation corps was looked on as more
or less of a joke by the British and
French fiers. The German machines,
although we'll built and reliable, were
hopelessly outclassed by the speedier
craft Of the Allies. Two German aero
planes were brought down to each one
lost on the other side.
From time TO time came sensational
reports from Germany giving alleged
details Of marvellous new planes cal
culated to do frightful execution among
the enemies air feet. The only craft
which has come anywhere near TO full
filing the prophecies made concerning
L is the Fokker monoplane. built by
the manufacturers of the old Fokker
biplane. a machine which never showed
to good advantage.
Nothing New in Fokker Design.

performances of this craft given TO me
