URGES USE OF AIRPLANES
T0ATTACK GERMAN FLEET
Plans of Rear Admiral Fiske, Re-
tired, Approved by Aero
Club of America.

NEW YORK. June 23-Detruction of
the German fleet at it's bases by torpedo
planes. which he styled the most pow
erful and mobile of weapons. is advo-
Gated in a letter which Rear Admiral
bradley A. Fiske. retired. has sent to
the board of governors of the Aero Club
of America. Such a weapon, Admiral
Fiske declared. would give the allies
complete control of the North sea. even
the shallow waters along the German
coast. and would prevent German sub
marines from leaving German ports.
The Aero Club. through it's governors,
Endorsed the plan.
In air raids over the land the strateg-
ical advantage lies with Germany"
said Admiral Fiske, because the most
important towns like Berlin are far
Their inland than the most complete
towns of the allies, like London SO
the airplanes Of the allies in order to
reach Berlin would have to fly over
greater distances while exposed to the
fire of other airplanes than do the Ger
mans in going to London.
For raids on naval vessels. however
the advantage lies with the allies be-
cause their control of the deep waters
or the North sea enables them to es-
taDl1sh a temporary aeronautical base
OF mother ships sufficiently close to the
German fleets in Kiel and Wilhelms-
haven. while the Germans could not
possibly establish an aeronautical base
sufiiciently close to the British fleet
This gives the allies the great ad-
vantage of the offensive. 1t would seem
possible for the allies to send a large
number of airplane mother ships to a
point say fifty miles west of HelRoland
and for large force Of fighting air
planes and torpedo planes to start from
this place about two hours before dawn,
reach kiel and Wilhelmshaven about
dawn. attack the German fleets and
sink the German ships. OF course, the
attack would be resisted by German
afrplanes and fighting would be needed.
but no war has been decided except by
nght1ng, and In the present case the
allies. now the United States has Joined
them. could unquestionably put an
overwhelming number of airplanes in
the battle"

NO GAIN IN NINE-HOUR DAY.
Bureau Reports Daily Coal Output
Greater in 3-Hour Work.
