REAR ADMIRAL PEARY
WARNS OF D. c. DANGER
Says National Capital Is Open to
Aerial Attack in Case Nation
Should 60 to War.

A feet of hundreds of airplancs,
ready to take the air on the slightest
alarm: dozens of 3-inch. 4-inch and B.
inch aircraft guns that will shoot a
pro1ectile $500 feet straight up: many
searchlights with a radius of ten or
moro miles to make a network Of light
in the night skies, and aerial micro
phones In many numbers which will re-
veal the whir of an aeroplane's pro-
pellers from thirty to fifty miles away
such are the defenses of both London
and Paris against aerial attack.
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S.
N. retired. advocate of a great aerial
coast defense, who declares the exist
ing vulnerability of Washington to
aerial attack. does not assume to define
any plan of defense against such pos
sibility. The War Department., he OBJ
serves. has undoubtedly its plans pre-
pared for the defense of the National
Capital. and the Navy Department, he
is equally confident, is not less fore
thoughted. To define a plan of de-
fense. in his opinion. would be pre-
sumptuous
Aerial preparedness, he points out, is
of course the first essential. And he
urges particularly that the government
consider the necessity, provide for the
education of $500 men in six months
and of 5000 in Il year in the craft Of
aviation as corps to man aeroplaneS
for coast defense. This is his gener-
alfzation for defense. not only of the
National Capital. but OF all cities on the
coast and within striking distance by
air. against the possibility of aerial
raids.

How Capital Could Be Destroyed.

Forming a file block apart between
the machines that squadron could fly
inland over Washington, drop ex-
plosives and return to their base with
out Interference. What could stop
them?
Each airplane could carry 1000
pounds of high explosive, of which five
pounds Is enough to sink a torpedo
boat destroyer, while 300 pounds would
send a battleship to the bottom. How
much of Washington would be left
after 1900 pounds of explosives had
been dropped on it? Washington would
be In ashes.
And 1t would all be very simple
to destroy this city, Airplane flights
in this vicinity have been numerous.
You viii recall flight last spring
from Newport News to this city and
return. That distance was covered in
less than six hours. 50 we could be
attacked from the air in very few
hours.
You viii also remember how the
American pcopl" were surprised when
the submarine Deutschland stuck her
nose out of the water near Norfolk,
aud how We were somewhat shocked
when the I-53 began her operations off
Nantucket

TT would be an easy matter to de-
stroy Washington" declares Admiral
Peary. He points out how it could be
accomplished in six hours time.
"A tramp steamer from a foreign
power" he says, might arrive any day
within thirty or forty miles of our
coast in the vicinity of the Virginia
capes. That steamer could carry a
squadron of twelve airplanes.

SHIP TRAIN OF
 SOYA BEAN OIL
 FROM ORIENT
New Substitute for Fats Used by U. s. Soap
 Manufacturers

SEATTLE,-(Spe )-Therc left the Union Pacific yards at Argo sta tion last week a train that will be re- garded as one of the most singular through new commercial develop ments of the European war, which brought it into being, in the cities through which it passes. The train was composed of thirty tank cars, loaded with 5000 gallons each of i'm ported Japanese soya bean oil, the first of it's kind ever to cross the American continent, and will go through solid to Cincinnati, where it has been bought by one of the largest soap manufacturers in the United States for use as base in soap to re- place animal fats which have become too expensive for use. For this the European war is responsible The cargo. aggregating 24O,OOO gallons, is valued. at the current market price of 70 cents per gallon. at $l64,656.68.
 The business of importing soya bean oil began in 1909, but was not of sufficient importance to attract atten- tion as a commercial proposition un- til 1915. when l92,75O gallons were brought into this port. In 1916 the imports had leaped to l,275,275 cases, or l2.752,75O gallons, valued at $6,- 2l6.96O. Imports for this month alone will reach &92,OO cases, or B. g2O.OOO gallons, worth $2,79&,OOO or practically one-third the entire volume for the whole of 1916
