the American Aviation Forces.

LEGAL BATTL EFoR
ESTATE OF DECEASED
HAWAIIAN OtlEEN

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 19-The
latest development in the legal battle
for the estate of the late former Queen
Liliuokalani is an attack on the fam
lily tree of Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole,
for sixteen years delegate to congress
from the Territory of Hawaii, an Of
flee he still holds.
The claimant to the queens $780,
900 estate who questions the dele
gates genealogical chart is a wom-
an whose Hawaiian name is Kaha-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., which
means, in English Flash of the
lightning of the chief who sleeps
along the stream of Waiaulia". To
save her friends linguistic embarrass-
ment she is known socially as Mrs.
Nawahie.
In a document just filed in the
first circuit court of Hawaii, Mrs.
Nawahie alleges that certain persons
from whom Kalanianaole claims de.
scent never existed. As the Hawai-.
ians had no writer records prior to
the coming of the first missionaries
in 1920 the contest for the queens
estate is very much involved, all OF
the several claimants admitting re.
mote relationship which they trace
back for many generations.

American Sailors In Ireland
Provide Ozvn Entertainments

An Irish Port, Sept. 19.-The thou
sands of American sailors stationed
at the Destroyer Base in British
Waters have been forced to provide
their own entertainment to while
away liberty" hours in the small
town.
One of the chief features of the
MEMS Club" is the thoater which
will seat about 1000 persons and
where there is something going on
free every night. Aside from the
moving picture plays all the enter
tainment is produced by the sailors.
Some Of the scenery for the stage was
obtained in London but some OF 1t
was produced right here at the base.
The talent uncovered has resulted
in a brass band of q pieces, an or
chestra as large, an acrobat, several
vocal solists, a yodler, half dozen
black-face comedians, quartet, sew
eral piano players and enough good
voices to stage a minstrel show.
Here is an average Saturday night
program; a one-reel comedy, seven
concert selections by the band, a four
reel feature film, half a dozen songs
by the quartet, the yodler and popu-
lar songs by "al hands" with the
words thrown onto the picture screen.
The last feature is what the sail
ors like the best as they all seen to
want to get in the show. They put
real enthusiasm into songs about
winning the war and getting" the
German fleet but when they sing
something about home, the sunny
south or girl left behind they fair
ly raise the roof and sing the Choir
usese over and over.
They never tire of one feature al
though they have participated in it
scores of times. With the house
dark for an instant, curtain showing
the New York sky line is dropped.
AS the first faint light dimly outlines
the picture the orchestra starts to
play New York Town and everyone
begins to sing. Before the song is
ended many of the men break into
cheers and throw their white hats
into the air.
81 amt from New York" said a
trim speciman of middle-western
young manhod one night, "but that
skyline was the last thing l saw IN
the good old U. S. A. and that pic
ture with the orchestra playing that
song just naturally makes a fellow
want to sing"
But even with such expressions Of
sentiment there is little home-sick
ness here. The sailors, many Of
them mere youngsters are glad they
are in thick Of the war but many Of
them have said that he more they
see of foreign shores the better they
like home.

ONLY Projected BUILD.
lNGs ARE INVOLVED IN
PRIORITY RULING

Bernard M. Baruch, chairman OF
the War Industries Board, authorizes
the following:
The War Industries Board an
nouncement that its plan for con-
servation OF material for war needs
and release OF labor to war work in
volved restriction of non-war con-
war constructions has brought flood
of kilograms frcm every sectioo OF
the country with reference to fur

Under a ruling made today, practi-
cally all buildings under way may be

material may continue to supply need
ed material.
To Investigate New Projects
Regarding new building projects,
under arrangement made by Mr.. Ba-
ruch, chairman Of the War Industries
Board, with the Council Of National
Defense, representatives of the State
Councils are to investigate each Of
them and report on each operation
separately, with recommendations as
to essentially considered in connec-
ton with war needs, to the non-war
construction section of the War In
dustries Board, of which D. r. Nc
Lehman is head. Until these reports
have been received and considered
the Priority Division states it is not
in position to pass intelligently on
various applications now made for
priorities for building material.

Commissioner, authorized the follow

Behind British Lines in France,
Sept 19.-The working month of a
NightBombing Squadron in France is
divided into two periods which are
known as the Light and the Dark
The Light period covers the moon
lit half of the month. Should 1t be
attended by fine weather, great aerial
activity prevails. Practically any
raid that is possible by day, can be
carried out equally we'll at night dur
ing this period, for although certain
details are not clearly visible, the
ESSENTIAL features Of the ground stand
out clearly and can easily be fol-
lowed.
The ease with which targets can
be found depends very largely on
their geographical position. Water
is the great guide for night flying, and
on clear moonlight night it can be
seen from great distance Hence
targets situated near a river, canal or
lake present no difficulty whatever as
regards their being found.
Railways, too, if they are In use,
prove excellent guides, for the rails
shine clearly in the moonlight and
can easily be followed. Woods, es.
pecially if they are of peculiar shape
make good landmarks, for the black
mass, which shows up we'll in the
moonlight can be quickly identified
en- the map
During the Light Period most OF
the long raids of the squadron are
carried out. The Dark period, the
moonless nights, is much less &C
tive time. Flying is then done
chiefly by the aid of compass, but
en- clear starlight nights raids on
targets such as factories with chin
neys or blast furnaces whose glow
lights up the sky for miles, may be
carried out satisfactorily. On a still
night compass course can be flowr
quite accurately, but unfortunately
there are comparatively few nights
en- which the wind remains constant
1t either changes in velocity or di
rection, and in the air it is Difficult
to distinguish these changes. A ma
chine is very likely to be blown ou
of its course several miles withou
the pilots knowledge, Therefore On
ly short raids are undertaken, and
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-09-19

thus the risk of pilots completely
losing their bearings is minimized.
Often two or three short raids are
carried out in one night.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 1S.-A
submarine chaser, tuned and
groomed, has been transported into
the heart of Texas and put to work
not hunting down lurking German U.
boats but in rescuing unfortunate
American aviators, who fall into the
water.
This is a new venture for the sub
marine-chaser, or the sea-sled, as it
is more commonly called. Ordinarily
this craft, which attains speend of
sixty miles an hour under the lash
ing of its powerful eight.cyclinder
motor, is employed along the Atlantic
coast as a guard against the activities
of the undersea boats. They have
been successful in hunting down foes
and in Guarding coasts. Sixty-one Of
the lightning sleds are in use-sixty
along the Atlantic coast and the six
ty-frst on Lake Worth in Fort Worth
Several months ago, when the fatal
falls among the aviation students
around this city grew alarming in
number, United States army officers
concluded that simplifying and adj
vanced training would be les deadly
over the waters of Lake Worth than
over the dry land The problem of
how to rescue the aviator, should he
tumble, was solved by the sea-sled.
The coast of constructing the boat
and getting it to Forth Worth was
$17,012. 1t draws eighteen inches Of
water It's length is twenty-four feet
and it's width eight feet, eight inches
1t has eighteen air pockets and the
walls are about eight inches thick
The sled has a " shaped bottom
Credit for suggesting this shap to the
manufacturers is given to Captain 8
v Schermerhorn, who was formerly
stationed at the Fort Worth air fields
A crew of three men is required tt
operate the sled, which is kept II
readiness for action all the time like
a fire engine. Quarters have beer
erected for the men on the lake shore
