GREAT AIR FLEET
GUARDING NEW YORK,
At Least 800 Seaplanes Now
Patrol Coast From Nantucket
To Langley Field.

The aerial defense of New York and
the Atlantic coast is improving day by
day, and from reports received from
MineoIa and other aviation stations it
was learned yesterday that the num-
Der of defensive airplanes is increas-
ing rapidly.
Bombsdropping devices are being at
tached to many of the machines, and
a large percentage are now armed
with machine guns, some Of them hav-
ing as many as four guns.
Between Nantucket. Mass. and
Langley Field Va. it is said that at
least three hundred airplanes are fly
ing day and night, taking turns in the
watch over sea and land.
Every day. rain or shine, sun or
cloud, the airplanes circle over the
aviation training fields and soar away
on their tour of guard duty.
Yesterday many airplanes went up
from Mineola despite the inclement
weather, and one craft made a strange
discovery The sun had come out in
the afternoon and at point about
seven miles off the Long Island shore
the observer suddenly saw deep under
the sea far below him what appeared
to be two lurking submarines. Ex-
citedly, he signaled his pilot and they
circled around the spot. going lower
and lower Far down in the blue
depths law two big, dark objects,
resting on the bottom of the sea.
They hurried back and reported.
And then it was learned that they had
located two coal barges which had
sunk there in storm two years ago.
They lay at a depth of 100 feet, and
yet could be plainly seen from the air
plane soaring above them.
This is a fine example of what an
observer can see under water" said an
aviator who told of the incident.
An incident of nerve and bravery on
the part of an observer in one of the
training planes was told yesterday
when a pilot and his companion re-
turned to the MineOla field. They had
reached a very high altitude when sud
denly a wire snapped and became en-
tangled in the propeller. The pilot
kept his head and started to volOplane
downward. Nothing but the sea lay
under them, and if they went the
whole distance il probably meant
death by drowning, for they were far
from land
The observer also kept a level head
and skillfully climbed out on to one of
the wings, cut the wire with a pair
of nippers. untangled the mess, and as
the plane nearly touched the water the
pilot started his engine and they few
upward again.
Augustus Post, secretary of the Aero
Club of America, was asked by a re-
porter yesterday what the present
status of aerial defences are. While
he did not want to be quoted directly
on any Statistics" he said:
1T is a known fact that there are
several very big Caproni airplanes in
active service, and two of them have
been making daily flights over the city.
These and other American airplanes of
big size are armed"
Mr.. Post called attention to a recent
statement of the Secretary of War
that there are now 1900 officers and
100000 men in the aviation service.

Sane Fourth Of July.

Common sense has been engaged for
years in taking the lunacy out of the
Fourth of July. 1t has been a certain,
but slow process. Now, by the simple
issue of a terse notice, the govern
ment has completed the job. The
Fourth of July will have to be safe
and sane because the production of the
fireworks is need upon graver bust
ness than deafening the community
and filling the air with strange fumes.

81 shall attend the hearing tomor-
row on the question of relaxing the
rigidity of the milk inspection rules,
said Mrs. F. L Ransome, chairman
of the woman's division OF the Dis
trict Council Of Defense, today. Her
attitude toward the proposal of the
milk distributors that the District
Commissioners permit milk to be
sold in Washington from dairy farms
not inspected by District officials is
representative OF the views OF pracB
tically all who have expressed them
selves on the matter.
c. W. Darr, OF the law firm, OF
Darr, Keyser, Whiteford and Darr,
said:
Yes; the milk distributors will ask
the suspension of certain rules in
order that perfectly good milk pro-
duced on farms not inspected by Dis
trict officials be permitted to be
sold here. II that be not done, the
District will be short of milk before
the summer ends. The milk referred
to is in jurisdictions other than the
District-it would. of course, be in
spected and treated here by pasteuriza-
ton after being received and before
being sold"
No Association.
Mr.. Darr's firm is acting for no
association. he said. but for certain
The proposal in brief is that the
production OF the milk desired to be
sold here be carried on outside the
vision of the official inspecting eyes

health OF the COWS, the

herd, and no official knowledge here
that there was such a tubercular herd
in existence.
