AERIAL torpedo TO
WIPE OUT TEUTONS
Man From Missouri Has
Airship Bomb Idea for
Ending Warfare
DEVICE TO FLY OVER
ENEMY, THEN BLOW UP

Yesterday afternoon there wander
ed into the office Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL. entirely without previous
announcement, young man who an
nounced that he had the lives OF the
entire German army in the hollow of
his hand. Copy-grinding reporters,
with nothing more important than
typewriter keys in the hollows OF
their hands, or as near there as they
could get them. being used to all kinds
of shocks handed to them without
warning. gave the man the "once-
over" and with one accord, nodded
their heads toward the office goat"
and the destructive man was "sicked"
on him. hes the fellow who is writ
ing this. mainly in gratitude that the
man did not attempt TO make a prac-
tical demonstration.
Briefly. his idea was that we never
could whip the Germans by staying
on this side OF the water. and doing
nothing but arguing about conscrip-
ton. He had invented, he said. an
aerial torpedo, though that was not
the name he gave II. his name for il
sounding like "hellraiser.' This en-
gine OF war was made OF an aluminium
body, lined with zinc and with air
plane wings and operated by small
motor which would cost S14, and car
rying So pounds Of dynamite. with the
emphasis. as he said. on the "dy."
This motor. in turn. was propelled by
electricity which was generated from
batteries and would run the machine
| for any length OF time desired. accord
ing to the adjustment made, when, for
lack OF motive power, it would fall
and explode and deal death.
The thing could be set for any
I length OF space flying. he said, and
( all that would be required was to set
enough of them going. which could
! be done by simply starting them off
by hand and with no machinery or
| guns required. BY simply aiming
! these engines, in sufficient quantity.
at the place where the German army
was, and az stated distances apart,
they would all light together. explode
/ together. and the war would be over,
and peace again reign in the world,
| for the very simple reason that there
I would be no more German army to
do any fighting, he explained.
Bot the thing that worried the
scribe was that. possibly, the man
/ from Missouri-forgot TO say that
his name was Lee and he came
from that home OF Champ Clark
and mules-might take it into his
head to test out some OF his engines
around here, and blow the city off the
map. as an experiment. However, the
goat" reporter shifted him off on the
military editor, who escaped some
how. but that is another story. So
far as known now. the inventor is on
his way to Washington. One of the
scribes expressed a fear that the
aerial torpedo might turn around and
explode right in the midst Of the
American Army Anyway. the optimis-
tic man from Missouri has a big idea
that may prove of immense m litary
value.

WOULD TURN LOAFER
SONS OVER TO WAR
Disguised Father Anxious TO
Have Them Forced In
10 Service
ASSERTS PRISON HAS
DONE THEM NO GOOD

There is one father in Wilmington
who says he has two loafer sons
whom he will willingly turn over to
the authorities to work in accord with
the war program.
He suggests that a conference be
called by Mayor Price OF fathers 10
devise a way 10 make lazy sons work.
Here Is the way a disgusted father
sizes up the situation:
TO the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Dear Sir. / would like to know
if the city officials are going to make
the lOafers work / have two that l
would willingly turn over when the
time comes. All they do and want
TO do is go out and look for rum and
come home and want to fight with
the ones in the home Why not our
Mayer call the fathers together who
have sons that won't work. and make
some way that they will have to work.
Il would be a good idea for the mayor
and chief Of police to get together
and round up all this surplus labor
and hire il to farmers for thirty days
or sixty days. Don't put them in
the workhouse for that is no lesson
for them. II they go any place they
ought to go to Farnhurst and be put
in the cells with the insane. for
have a boy walking around and who
is crazy eight hours of the twenty
four Now / suppose you would
say put him in the army. Well he was
in the army, and since he came home
has been loahng the best part Of the
time. I am not the only one. but
there are hundreds of fathers who
have the same trouble.

COAL Prices TO CO UP.
BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE

Wilmington coal merchants we're
up in the air" today over coal prices.
