ADMIRAL HOWELL,
WHO PERFECTED
TORPEDO, DEAD

He had always been interested in
mathematics. AS a boy he used to
be fascinated by the tight rope walk
ers, balancing themselves with their
poles. f.
At school he was known as "the
chap who was a shark at math." And
all through his youth that balancing
principle was the subject OF much
conjecture with him. He often won
dered IL something couldn't be invent
ed to allow the tight rope walker to
stand absolutely still, without pole
and then walk along with his arms
at his sides
Then he entered the navy. Here
opportunity presented itself. It was
the torpedo. Couldn't something be
done to make il absolutely sure? He
experimental and experimental.
Then came the Russo-Japanese war,
Torpedoes were used very extensively
by the japanese. But they amounted
to practically nothing from a naval
point of view. They would go wide
Of their mark. Almost every one fired
by the japanese was lost without do
Ing any damage. The Japanese gave
American naval officers every oppor-
tunity to study them.
Shortly afterwards Rear Admiral
John A. Howell gave to his country
the gyroscope attachment for torpe-
does that revolutionized naval war
fare. And he gave the invention to
his country. Another great inventive
triumph was added to Americas long
list.
Today Rear Admiral Howell, L. S.
N, is retired, in fact as we'll as in
name.
He has arrived at the Home Port,
the Port of Last Call, clearance pa
pers and manifestS from this earth

NEW YORK. Jan. 1l.-Military and
civilian circles here today hail Lieut.
Col V. e. Clark, head of the army
aviation engineers division as expon
ent OF a practical plan for winning
the war overnight.
In an address before the Society oil
Automotive Engineers last night he
predicted that there would not be
much left OF the war" il the United
States could send a fleet OF 500 night
bombing Rirplanes into one attack
over the enemy lines.
THE night bSmbers are by far the
most effective" he said, they lily
every clear night, cannot be readily
seen, and can drop flares and carry
from a ton to a ton and half Of high
explosives. They are very destruc'
tive"
-Four types or airplanes are now IN
use in the American army in Europe
he said-observing machines. combat
machines, pursuit planes, and day and
night bombing machine3.

NEGRO SENTENCED
TO 70 YEARS FOR
KILLING EMPLOYER

John Brown, alias John Roy. col
ored. was sentenced to serve twenty
years in the penltentiary by Justice
Stafford today, the jury having found
him guilty OF murder in the second
degree in connection with the killing
OF Andreas Viessmann Mas IL, 1911.
Brown was employed by Yiessmann
as waiter in his restaurant at Third
and II streets and in an alteration
about his wages Brown stabbed
Viessmann with a small silver pocket
knife in the breast, Niessman dying
from the injury May II, 1912. When
imposing sentence Justice Stafford
said he felt that he ought to give
Brown the minimum sentence per-
Missile as he believed Browns mind
was inclined to be weak to the extent
OF not fully realizing the enormity OF
the crime he committed

u. S. PLANES COULD
WIN WAR IN NIGHT
BUT FOR DELAY US.

The dream Of 10000 United States
.airplanes within year is-only a dream.
Chairman Howard Coffin. OF the Air
craft Production Board, breaking the
silence about aircraft progress in this
country. advised today that such a pro
gram in so short a time is impossible.
Involving as 1t would the use OF a per-
sonnet OF 100000 men. an unavoidable
transportation problem, and a housing
question in Europe OF tremendous pro
portions.
Personnel and shipping bar the path
to such a realization. Between forty and
fifty men in auxiliary services are need
ed per plane, and with shipping in the
shape 1t Is. their transportation and
maintenance would be impossible.
However, the aircraft programs now
well on the way toward realization.
Coffin officially revealed that
Americas twenty-four training sta
lions are full, while American fliers
are getting advanced training abroad
that materials have been interna-
tionally standardized; that thousands
of American aero-mechRnics are be-
ing put into actual service with the
allied forces; that production OF
standardized training machines will
be In excess OF needs OF the program
by January 20: that thousands of air
craft have been ordered abroad to
supply American filters up to June
1918; while advanced training planes
will begin to be delivered within
ninety days sufficiently SO that ad-
vsnced training plans for this coun-
try can be accomplished.
In the business end, a systemati.
zation has been accomplished. and
plans for production are based on
most economical lines-that Is, guam
tity production by big plants
