new AIRPLANE BULLET
Special Cartridge Which Sur
passes Any in Use.
VIII Pierce Armor, Flight Can Be Seen
Day or Night and 10 In.
cendiary.

Washington.-The war department
authorizes the following:
The present war brought forth a
new kind Of ammunition for alrplane
use in the form of special cartridges
containing bullets for armor-plercing,
tracing, and incendiary purposes.
With the progress OF the war the
more vital parts Of the airplane were
protected with light armor. so that 1t
became necessary to introduce the ar
mor-piercing bullet.
As the gasoline tanks were particu-
larly susceptible to incendiary e1plo-
sion, 1t was necessary to procure
bullet containing IN infammable sub
stance, ignited upon discharge, which
would carry the spark OF fame into
the tank upon piercing 1t.
As the target, the enemy airplane,
was within fighting range for only
brief moments at time, and as there
were no means Of determining the fire
effect as on land, tracer bullet con-
taining bright-burning composition,
which would indicate the path Of the
bullet in daylight as we'll as In dark
ness, and thereby allow the aim Of the
machine gun to be corrected, was In
troduced. The composition Is set on
fire upon discharge and the bullet flies
through the air as bright spark plain
ly visible to the machine-gun operator.
At the outbreak Of the war. further
Information was promptly gathered
from the allies and this subject was
studied by those responsible for this
work In the United States. OF course,
on account Of the difficulties Of the
problem, none Of the special bullets
possessed by any country is entirely
satisfactory or what might be termed
perfect" in operation.
The bullets developed by the United
States ordnance department have been
tested on land and from atrplanes to
see II there Is any difference In their
performance when fred from quickly
moving airplane in the upper atmos-
phere and when fired On land.
These tests indicate that the United
States has developed class Of special
cartridges with a performance fully
equal to or surpassing that attained
abroad.

SECOND B|GF|RE
At HUCUENOT
Two Dwellings, Two Barns and
Chicken House De-
stroyed Yesterday.
81 Special Correspondent.

TOTTENVILLE, April 6-Hugue-
not Park for the second time this
week was the scene of disastrous
fire yesterday afternoon. when two
dwellings, two barns and chicken
house that were situated near the
Terra Marine Inn at the beach were
destroyed. The blaze, like the one
that destroyed the Dutch Reformed
church and dwelling the early part
of the week. started from brush
fire that had been raging in a field
nearby.
The flames first attacked the two
story frame dwelling of the late Dam
iel Collyer. the actor, and destroyed
that building together with two
frame barns and chicken house on
the property and from there they
leaped to the house of Edward Cross
man, of Stapleton, that was occupied
by Charles Zabaski and his family.
The latter succeeded in getting most
of their belongings out of the house
but there being no one on the Collyer
property everything was consum ed.
Mrs. Collyer who resides at 400 Riv-
erside Drive. Manhattan, who had
been at the place few days ago, re-
ceived word OF the fire last night. The
damage to the Collyer property Is es-
timated to be $4,000 and to that of
yer died in Chicago last week, where
he was appearing in Leave 1t to
Jane" The comedian was stricken
the week before, but continued to ap-
pear to the last. He had planned to
come to his summer home shortly.
An alarm was sent in from box 65
at AIS o'clock that called out the
Huguenot engine and Amicitia hook
and ladder Of the volunteer depart
ment and 159 engine Of the paid de-
partment Of Dongan Hills. When
Deputy Chief Begin arrived he sent
out a special call for Citizen engine
Of Pleasant Plains. Because of the
long run Of the f1remen and a scarcity
of hose to reach the blaze they were
handicapped in fighting the blaze un-
til the arrival of the latter company.

40 WAR BABIES
KEPT BYP0L|CE
In Warm Corner of Basement
Soon to be Moved
Out of Doors.

There has been lot said concern
ing war babies during the past three
of four years, but it has been left
to the local police to become inter-
ested in q new kind of war baby.
There are now fostered in the local
police station about forty war babies
tho direct result of conditions
brought about by the war.
Chief Burke, Joseph Hartung and
other members of the local force had
read much about war time efficiency
and saving and decided some weeks
ago to enter on q plan whereby they
could do their bit" towards decreas-
ing the cost Of living. AS result
there are today in the cellar of the
police station about forty baby chicks
the war babies" who are to be the
pets of the local policemen. A small
incubator had been secured, the nee
essary eggs set, and during the past
three weeks there have been many
visits to the little incubator set in
one corner of the warm, dry base
ment Thursday afternoon the first
shell opened and the first war baby
had arrived. Others followed soon
after until the tray, in which the eggs
were set, was filled.
The incubator has not been any
trouble to those at the police station,
but has proven to be means of
arousing considerable interest. Now
that the baby chicks have broken
through the shells plans are being
made to raise them out Of doors.
In keeping with this war time
scheme there is to be garden in the
rear of the police station, seeds hav-
ing been planted in boxes and set
out in the sun at police headquarters
for the past two weeks. These seeds
have sprouted and are making
steady growth Mounted Officer Har-
tung appears to be the father" of
this idea and sees that they get plenty
Of sun and water and the right care
taken of them every morning and
night before he starts off each day on
his work.
The police have not q large plot
Of land in which to raise garden
truck, but an example is being set
which can be we'll followed by many.
The Matching OF the chickens and the
raising of the plants thus far has
not taken much time and has been a
means of enjoyment rather than
work.
Chief Burke stated THIS morning
that some close mesh wire netting
would be secured and the chicks
placed where they can "eat, sleep and
make merry" Fifty eggs were orig
inally placed in the incubator, some
Of which have failed to hatch.

FOUR MINUTE TALKS
BY William ii. Bawden

PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGH
OUT ALL THE LAND, UNTO ALL
THE INHABITANTS THEREOF"
such are the words inscribed on the
Liberty Bell in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia. Such are the words
with which the jubilee year was to be
ushered in, according to Moses. First
uttered thirty-fve centuries ago in a
distant land, rung out nearly q CEN
tury and half ago on this continent,
today they are shouted so loud that
they may be heard the world around
Notice some contrasts. The kaiser
has impressed upon the German peo-
PIE that they are fighting for their
liberty. They are. He has impressed
upon them that their army had re-
course to the arbitrament of battle
because their liberty was imperilled.
1t Is not so. They imperilled their
own liberty when they set forth by
force of arms to curtail that Of other
people. They interpret liberty as
meaning the right to do as they
please. Such is license, not liberty.
Such license must be curtailed
President Wilson has sought to i'm
press on the world that America has
sought judgment at arms. because
the liberty OF the free peoples of the
world Is imperilled. He maintains
C.
and should be actually free, to deter
mine their own destiny. but always
within the bounds Of what is reason
able and right. Every nations liber-
~ ends where the liberty of another
people begins. Liberty is thus inter
preted to mean the privilege OF doing
what is right, for oneself and for
others.
This is we'll worth bearing in mind
on such q high day as this. Liberty
Day It is. but not a liberty that means
that we have gone forth with our
armies to impres. our will on any
other people. We have sent our men
to the line of battle to strike the
shackles from all people, that all may
be free-to proclaim liberty through
out the world, unto all the inhabi-
tants thereof. This is the mission on
which we have sent forth our boys.
and this is the issue that we are ask
ed TO face at home. Subscribe to the
Liberty Bonds. for you are by so do
ing proclaiming liberty unto all the
