A Smyrna Man Gives
Evidence.
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Smyrna Reader.

AAA' AN0th'OiJ VII AhlCIcSI Every
Smyrna Reader.
The value of local evidence is indis-
putable. 1t is the kind of evidence
we accept as true because we know
we can prove it for ourselves. There
has been plenty of such evidence in
the Smyrna papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished confidence in the minds of
Smyrna people that will not be easily
shaken.

NECESSARY ALLY OF NAVY
Great Britain Sees Need Of Holding
Command Of Air as Well as Of
Sea-Aircraft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

London.-The of the suc-
cess of the antisubmarine campaign Is
the safe crossing of the Atlantic by a
million American troops.
There Is very properly q good deal
OF official reticence regarding the
methods By which submarines are de-
stroyed, but 1t Is an open secret that
the royal air force has contributed
largely toward the defeat of the u
boat campaign.
Just o airplanes have become an
essential auxiliary to the army. so air
craft have become an indispensable
ally of the navy, making 1t clear that
a~scendancy In the air in future will be
as vital TO Britain as her present as
cendancy at sea-
Airships of two main types. the
smaller known as the submarine scout
and the larger as the coast patrol
type, and seaplanes. are the chief In
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business of all

submerged U-boats are visible to OBJ
servers and the'r position Is communi-
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work Of aircraft Is by no means con
fined to detecting the U-boats. They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival of the naval patrol.
There Is the obvious means of drop
ping bombs. fully effective when the
submarine Is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern ~antisubmarlne
aircraft are almost equally at home In
the air or on the water. Should the
U-boat dive through the water. its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges. which have a con-
siderable range of action, and are much
feared by U-boat commanders.
In claiming for the r. A. +. a largo
share In winning the safe landing Of
must be made that the range of air
craft from their bases Is limited. but
their bases are not necessarily on land,
and seaplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on shipboard and
are carried to the aree OF their deep
sea patrols.
Where They Are Thlckest-
Again, 1t Is naturally in home wa.
