PHILADELPHIA RAIDED
BY INVISIBLE AIRMEN
Robert Glendinning Drops Bomb
on Chestnut Street to Show
Vulnerability

An air raider swooped over Philade phia
shortly after o'clock this afternoon and
dropped a miniature bomb in the heart Of
the business district. The flyer released the
bomb to demonstrate the deadly accuracy
with which a flyer could slip over the city
and destroy its business district
The mimic daylight raid was conducted
by Robert Glendnning. the banker-aviatOr,
and w. f. johnson. chief instructor Of the
Philadelphia Aviation School at Essington.
which will he converted int" 4 Government
flying base within the next few days.
The bomb which descended with un-
erring accuracy. fell on the covering of a
large touring car on Chestnut street. just
below Juniper. In the car at the time were
Eugene Howell. of GIG Upsal street. Ger
mantown and his chauffeur, James Con-
nelly.
with a crash the bomb landed and fright
ened both OF the men in the machine, who
believed that n collision had occurred They
leaped from the car. and mounted police
man dashed to the scene
On the ground lay the missile. which had
rebounded from the cover of the machine.
II was red cloth bag to which was at
tached a smaller bag containing small lead
shot. Attached TO the bomb was piece OF
blue-coated cloth bearing an inscription to
the effect that the finder should notify Mr.
Glendinning. 400 Chestnut street. at what
point the cloth bag landed.
OF the thousands OF persons that crowded
Chestnut street and gathered around the
automobile, not one could be found who
saw the flying machine il passed over
the business district The aviators carried
but one bomb with them on the trial raid.
The bag contained a number OF cards
on which were printed line asking the
people what they would have done if it
had been real bomb. A fuse was attach
TO the bag. but it evidently burned ou, in
the rapid descent. and the cards were car
ried by the wind to other sections OF Phila.
dephia. as the bag had unfoided before
landing.
Both ava,ors left the grounds of the
aviation camp at o'clock in new curtiss
h%droaerop.ane and headed for Phila
about fifteen minutes after they had left
the Essinston starting point the bomb
crashed into Chestnut street

back such legislation, the Mayor said:

is no need for any hurry along that line

ASCEMBLY READY
10 RUSH WAR BILLS
Legislature Has Six Meas
ures to Put State on
Fighting Feet
ONE FOR CONsCRIPTION
BIZ a Sta6 Correspondent
HARRIsRIrRC MAJ


The Legislature has before it a definite
i preparedness program for Pennsylvania.
which It can act upon at any time.
In all six measures drafted with the idea
q preparedness predominant are now be-
fore the General Assembly or have been
passed
The most important of these measures
II the resolution introduced by Senator
Cha rles A. Snyder last Monday night, pro-
viding for commission Of five members
OF the Senate and seven of the ..ouse to
draft a military training bill, and the
bill providing sa000,ooo for State armories
4 The at,nories bill and the other measures
With the exception OF the Snyder resolution,
which was adopted are still buried In
committee aud probably will not be heard of
for q week or two.
The measures now pending are the fol-
lowing
Empowering mayors and burgesscs to
draft men to all the units of the National
Guard OF Pennsylvania up to their war
strength.
Making military and naval instruction
compulsory In all public and parochiai
schools for pupils over twelve years of age
Reorganizing the National Guard of
Pennsylvania so to make IL conform to
NE provisions OF the Federal national de-
fense act.
Making an annual municipal approprla-
ton of $1,000 to each battery of artillery
and S250 to each regimental detachment.
In addition to the present appropriation of
$500 annually to each company OF the Ma
tionsl Guard OF Pennsylvania.
TIE bill giving the Mayors OF Phade
phia and other cities and the burgesses
throughout the State complete power To
draft in time OF war enough able bodied
men to bring the units OF the National
Guard OF Pennsylvania up to its full war
strength was introduced by Representative
Thomas F. McNicho of Philadelphia.
Adjutant General Stewart. according %
Representative McNichol. IL opposing his
measure and blocking its progress through
the House. The bill is now held up in the
Military Affairs Committee of the House.
and there is little prospect of its getting
cut within the next two or three weeks.
The other preparedness measures how
ever, will be held back only for the reason
that the new committee to draft the mill
tary training act must report before any
thing can be done. They probably will not
come out of committee until after the new
preparedness committee has drafted itsil
bill
