The News has received an official
Government request that hereafter

There are a number Of reasons a.
signed for this request, chief OF
which is the fact that soldiers prt-
vatc letters oftentimcs give out in
formation. which their commanding
officers. acting themselves under In
structions. have forbidden to be
written. even to relatives: and that
the publication Of such letters may
not improbably result In the disct-

intentions were entirely innocent.
For this reason. the News ia con

ADMIRAL FISK HAS PLAN
TO RUIN GERMANY'S NAVY

New York, June 23.-A detailed
plan for the destruction, of the Ger
man fleet in Kiel canal and Wilhel-
shaven by mighty squadron Of tor
pedo planes and airplanes is outlined
in letter Rear Admiral Fisk, u. S.
NJ, retired, made public today by the
Aero Club Of America.
The board Of governors of the club
endorsed the plans and suggestions Of
Rear Admiral Fisk 1t was stated
by the board that it "believed this
to be as among the most definite and
promising solutions of the submarine
menace yet proposed" The program
will be laid before the Council Of Ma
tional Defense and military and naval
affairs committees Of both branches
of congress.
Rear Admiral Fisk's letter says in
part:
"The English torpedo planes which
sank four Turkish ships in the Sea
of Marmora in August, 1915, were Of
considerable size. The German tor
pedo planes which sunk the British
steamer Genoa off the coast of Eng
land May /, 1917, were also of consid-

cradle size and power. The success
Of this attack will without doubt en-
courage the Germans to develop tthe
torpedo plane.
Most Powerful.
"The torpedo plane embodies a
great concentration of power and mo-
bility than does any other mechanism
for it's cost. The torpedo plane is the
most powerful and mobile weapon
which exists at the present day.
can attack by allied torpedo planes,
armed with guns to defend themselves
from fighting aeroplanes, would be a
powerful menace to the German fleet
and if made in sufficient numbers
would give the allies such unrestricted
command of the North Sea that Ger
man submarines would be prevented
from coming out from German ports
and the submarine menace abolished
and all chances of German success
wiped out.
can inspection of the map of Eu-
rope shows that in air raids over the
land the strategical advantage lies
with Germany because her most i'm
portant towns, like Berlin, are farther
inland than the most important towns
of the allies, in order to reach Berlin,
would have to fly over greater dis

tances while exposed to the fire of
other aeroplanes than do aeroplanes

for raids OH naval vessels.
Near Base.
However, the strategical advan-
tages lies with the allies, because their
control of the deep part of the North
Sea allows them to establish tenn
porary aeronautical base of mother
ships sufficiently close to the German
fleet to enable the British to launch
a torpedo plane attack from it on the
German fleets in Kiel and Wilhelm
shaven, while the Germans could not
possibly establish an aero base suffi-
GENTLY close to the British feet.
"This gives the allies the greatest
advantage in offensive. 1t would seem
possible provided distinct effort is
made, for the allies to send large
number of aero mother ships to a
point, say so miles west of Heligo-
land, and for large force of fighting
aeroplanes and torpedo planes to start
from this place about two hours be-
fore dawn, reach Kiel bay and
,Wilhelmshaven about dawn, attack the
German fleets there and sink the Ger.
man ships. The distance from He'll
goland to Keil is about 80 land miles

STORM SWEEPS WAYCROSS
One Death and Damage to Property

Waycross, June 25.-J. S. Craven
was killed and J. R. Hall was prob
ably fatally injured this evening when
heavy wind and electrical storm
demolished shed at the Atlantic
Coast Line shops here in which they
were working.
The storm was the worst of the
year. Fences and trees were blown
down, an unoccupied dwelling was
wrecked by lightning, many tele-
phones were put out of commission.
and the heavy hail, which fell for
ten minutes, did much damage to
crops in this section.

and to Wilmshaven about as.
"Of course, the attack would be re-
sisted by German aeroplanes and
lighting would be needed, but no war
up to the present time has been won
without fighting and in the present
case the allies now that the United
States has Joined them, could unques-
tionably put an overwhelmingly large
number of aeroplanes in the field"

mond and one of the two oldest jew
elry stores in Indiana. Robert B.
Dickinson founded the store in an old
building on the site where the Schaef-
err grocery store now stands.
In 1854, the store wes moved to 523
Main street where it is now located.
A new building was erected several
years afterwards to accommodate In
creased patronage. Ten years ago,
o. f.. Dickinson, son OF Robert B.,
took chrge Of the business.
1t was the custom in 1870, in keep
ing with English fashions, to keep the
front of jewelry stores closed with
heavy shutters after business hours.
One Sunday night. while the watch
man was at church, burglars loaded
ell contents of the store on wagon
at the rear and escaped.
