GERMAN AERIAL RAIDS
OVER AMERICAN CITIES
ARE PREDICTED SOON
MACHINES MAKING 200 MILES AN
HOUR COULD LEAVE GERMANY
AT DAWN AND BOMB NEW
YORK IN EVENING.

New York, Nov 9.--German air raids
over American cities within six months
are predicted by DR.. Layman B. Pow
/ ell, president of Hobart college, just
! back from the war zone.
French military experts informed
/ DIR. Powell that Germany is building a
fleet of hugh airplanes capable of fly
ing 100 to 200 miles and hour, with
which to lombard Atlantic coast cities
and possibly places further inland.
These aerial agents of frightfulness
will, it is asserted, fly at a height of
about three and half miles, at which
altitude they could pass over England
safely, out of reach of British anitair-
craft guns, and except in the clearest
weather undetectad by military obser-
vers.
This information does not surprise
me in the least" said Alan r. Hawley,
president of the Aero Club of America,
/ today. Those who have watched
closely airplane development abroad,
particularly during the last twelve
months. have felt ever since our entry
into the war that we might expect a
visitation at any time from German air
craft
hot folf
and the English Handley-Page ma
chimes could be fitted out for a trans
Atlantic trip, and that there are no
physical reasons why American manu-.
factrers could not make machines to
do the same thing.
! Germans have specialized in long
! distance air bombardment Americans
/ must not be surprised if one night
/ their feeling of security is shattered
/ by the dropping of high explosive
/ bombs by German airmen.
! At 100 miles an hour it would take
! the German airmen about SO hours to
make the trip from German territory
/ to New York If it be true that these
new German planes have speed of
| 200 miles, the kaiser's raiders could
leave their airdome at dawn and bomb
/ New York the same evening. owing to
! the six hours difference in time.
Ii is not likely that Germany has so
perfected her planes that they could
make the round trip, but she would be
willing to sacrifice machines and men
if by SO doing she thought she could
