TILSON SUPPORTING
 AERIAL TORPEDO
Inventor Barlow Believes Berlin Can Be Destroyed in 30 Days by
 His Method.
His Method
Especial to the Herald)

Washington, March 23.-Represen- tative Tilson, of Connecticut. is q booster for the aerial torpedo perfect ed by Lester P. Barlow, formerly of Connecticut. With this device Barlow claims that Berlin can be destroyed from the air in 30 days by engines launched from behind the Allied lines in France and controlled by mechan- lcal or other means. It is not ne cessary, as in the case of the airplane, that a man should be with the ma- chine to guide it, MT. Barlow claims.
 The device would be expensive, but effective, Col. Tilson believes. Barlow has other packers in and out Of con- gress. Some of them fear that the simplicity of the Barlow device is such that the Germans will discover it if the Allies do not adopt 1t. BarlowS friends feel that he is helpless to 5a- cure the approval of the aerial torpedo on account of the red tape of the War department which unwinds very slowly.
 Col. Tilson has been interested ln Barlow for a long time. Barlow is the inventor of two bombs that are to be used by the American Aviation Corps in aerial warfare behind the German lines. One of these bonn bs, known as the "prOtruding rod de- vice. is believed to be the most sue cessful bomb in the world. It is said to strike the ground and then send 8 part of itself a short distance up in the air. so that the full force of the explosion takes effect, instead of dig ging big hole in the ground, as the old type of bombs do. Col. Tilson has demonstrated these bombs in the House of Representatives
 The Barlow aerial torpedo is under stood to carry 1,50O pounds of the highest explosive which is declared 10 be certain to reach it's target Bar low is said to have been an aviator i0 the Mexican revolutionary forces sey- eral years ago.

GRISWOLD WRITES
 OF WAR IN FRANCE
New Britain Soldier Tells Of His
 Experiences Abroad

Captain Alfred H. Griswold of this city has written the following letter to Mayor G. A. Quigley, telling in an interesting manner of some of his ex- periences overseas:
 Dear Friend:
 Your letter of the 30th of Janu- ary received and was very glad to re- ceive 1t. It is always great pleas ure to hear from the folks at home, and l certainly appreciate your let ters. It is a hard proposition to write an interesting letter over here, as the things that we would like to write about are taboo with the cen- sor l wish you could see the place that l am writing this lettcr from. l would certainly like tz describe it to you and also tell you where it is, but as usual the censor says nothing doing, but I'll tell you what to do. Go down into the darkest corner of your cellar take a fine mahogany parlor table with two or three can dies to see by, stick these on the table With their own grease, then take a cracker box to sit on. Just imagine yourself about 35 or 40 feet under ground and you will come pretty near to imagining the conditions under Which l am writing. If you want to make it a little more realistic just set a trap the night before and catch three or four fat rats and have them sQueaking under the table. I want to tell the people of New Britain that they can be mighty proud of their boys over here, some of us might be rough and wild in our ways but let me tell you they have passed through the supreme test and not one flnched. l certainly am proud of the two old companies of Nationa! Guardsmen that went out of New Britain last April. There is only one trouble with our boys and that is they are too anxious to fight and get reck- less. Speaking of German hate, I have seen miles of country that they have retreated from and every fruit tree has either been chopped down or griIled. l have also seen a church where they mounted machine guns In the belfry and then filled the body of the church with French women and children so as to keep the French from firing on them. The French finally had to fire on their own peo- pie in order to drive the Germans out. You speak about having severe weather at home. We are having sulendid weather here, and have had for over a month. l had a mess of dandelion greens the old day that one Of the French soldiers dug for me. Tho trees are commencing to bud out. and it is real Spring weather. When the next shipmen Of tobacco arrives I will see that it is equally divided. The boys were very grateful for the last lot. Must close now. so regards to all my friends"
