Chicago's post office, two railroad
stations, a large hotel, and several
stores in the downtown section were
theoretically destroyed recently in a
night attack by a large enemy"
aeroplane. A despatch to the Port

The attacking aeroplane, carrying
eight bombs, was driven by D. Lloyd
Thompson. flying as demonstrating
agent Of the National Security League,
The defense Of the city was intrusted
to Miss Ruth Laws biplane.
The purpose of the demonstration
was to show that American cities need
aerial defense and, according to the
aviator, who succeeded in dropping
his eight bombs where they would do
the most harm had they been de-
structive, the flight proved conclu-
sively the need of defense against air
raiders. b..
Bombs were so timed that they ex-
ploded at considerable height, but
in each case directly over the object
designated for attack. After Thomp-
son had started his attack, Miss Law
rose into the air and gave chase, final
" driving" him away, but not until
the attack had accomplished its pur-
pose.

interest in the welfare of their adopt

Use ELEPHANTS
AND CAMELS in
GUN PRACTISE

Gun crews from the 18th United
States Marines, quartered at San
Diego, recently took advantage of a
circus stationed at the exposition
grounds and practised upon the ele-
plants and camels to determine the
feasibility of their use in actual war
fare .~." H.. .:...@. II Fr,
According to the San Francisco
Chronicle the practise was probably
one of the most novel experiments
vet held in the present campaign for
preparedness. Says the Chronicle:
Mounting one operator and tripod
gun to an elephane, the big beasts
displayed surprising agility IN travel
ing over rough ground and wheel
ing into proper position tor firing.
Inc imaginary fife OF the enemy
becoming too hot for the safety Of
the gun carried II feet ABOVE ground,
the elephant was ordered to lie down,
the gun dIsmounted, and with the big
quadruped for breastworks the ma
rlnes we're safely intrenched in mat.
ter of less than 80 seconds.
The camels displayed less nervous
ness to gunfire than the elephants,
however. although the narrower
decks of the snip OF the desert
proved harder tor the marines to
navigate. The marines proved true to
their reputation or 'tackling any
tnlng' and showed remarkable steadi-
ness ana sureness or aim under the
unusual conditions. .... 49,.
Manager Bowers of the show said:
In an extended campaign in coun.
try like Mexico, both camels and ele-
plants would prove their worth. Both
can go long distance without water,
carrying large loads, and in these ex-
perimental maneuvers have shown re-
markab Bile adaptability to conditions of
warfare" s--. .... 49,,
