Washington, Feb. 25.-The navy
has ordered war vessels
to New Orleans and Mobile to re-
main during Mardi Gras, but the
naval forces will not participate Off
cially in the celebration, nor take any
part in the merrymaking except as
individuals.
The battleship Kentucky viii be at

in addition to number of airships.
Letters have been sent to Mardi
Gras officials of the two cities point
ing out that the navy cannot take an
active part in the carnivals except in
such exercises as Of are historical
or patriotic character.
Rear Admiral Benson, chief Of op-
erations, said today that the navy's
policy in such cases always had been
not to participate officially in any
local celebration held only for pur-
poses Of merrymaking.
The war vessels, It is intended, shah

hoped, a closer relationship between
the people and the navy as a branch

rT4vSuF1|S'~ ~S QOn DeIeVeS.
There is no defense against Ger
many's latest aerial demon-a 1876
mlle-an-hour mechanical wasp in
vented by an obscure Dutch lieutenant
so half the people in the metropolis
are saying.
True, the Fokkers in service cannot
go far from home because they carry
little fuel; but this latest and most
amazing development of aeronauties
is capable of boundless improvement,
those who are warning England
against its latest peril point out.
The latest planes can veer and
tack and almost turn somersaults in
the air; their great speed, 125 miles
an hour, places them beyond pursuit
by any of the British warplanes which
are at least rs miles an hour slower;
and the novel gun arrangement in
some of them simplifies the business
of attacking; for the aviator steers
his machine and aims his bullets at
one and the same time.
The machine gun is stationary; the
bullets are fired straight ahead, be-
tween the revolving blades of the pro-
peller; all the operator mas to do is
select his enemy, aim his machine at
it, and pull the trigger.
Two or three different types of en-
zines are used in Fokkers. Some
have Mercedes engines, but the ma
jority use Ueberursel rotaries-a Ger
man copy of the gnome engine. The
average is 10 to 120 horsepower, but
the two Fokkers that have caused the
most destruction in France, those
driven by Immelmann and Boelke, are
equipped with giant $50 horsepower
motors.
The favorite method of attack is for
the Fokker to get up high-about
5000 feet-and hang around till one
of the allies machines appears in
right below. Then, if of the fixed
gun type, the Fokker stands on its
head and dives straight for its vic
tim, loosing of a stream of bullets as
soon as it gets within range.
BY making the descent ever so
slightly spiral the straight stream of
bullets becomes cone of fire with
its apex at the gun and with the
victim inside, so that whichever way
the lower machine tries to escape it
must pass through that cone.
This high-dive, if tried on the par
lament buildings from a great alti-
tnude would riddle them from one
corner to the other, and leave little
chance of escape, and a fleet of them
could practically level the city.
