NAVY DEPARTMENT
 IS INSPECTING BOMBS
MANNER OF DROPPING DEPTH BOMBS BY DESTROYER IS
 DESCRIBED.

Was hington, July 23.-While wait ing the result of the official inquiry into the failure of naval aeroplano bombs to explode when dropped in the attacks by naval aviators on the German submarine off the New Eng land coast Sunday the navy depart ment is making a thorough inspec- tion of its entire stock of these pro jectiles to determine the reliability of detonation At the same time the ordnance bureau of the navy has taken under consideration the alter ation of the bombs used in aerial op- erations so as to increase the cer- tainty of their explOdine
 Secretary Daniels said today that a very low percentage of bombs which fail 10 explode has been discovered thus far in the navy's tests. In fact reports on file here show that the United States has met with a much lower percentage of failures than any of the allied nations.
 The great obstacle met by ord  nance experts in securing efficiency in aerial bombs is the necessity Of maintaining a factor of safety for the protection of the aviator. Absolute certainty of explosion could be easily had. but it would be accompanied by great danger of acidental detonation before the bomb was release
 In connection with the inquiry into naval aerial ammunition, it became known today that reports to the de. partment show that fine results are being obtained in the use of the depth bomb, originated and perfected by the American navy The asser- ton has been heard in well informed circles that this weapon is second to none in effectiveness among those being used against the submarine,
 American destroyers in using the depth bomb employ the ''bracketing process Dashing to the spot where evidence of submarine has been seen one bomb is dropped immedi- ately over it and at the same time ingenious cataIpaults hurl bombs to the front. rear and each side The enemy craft thus generally caught in the area regardless of how he shifts his course. lt is said the percentaee of hits secured has greatly increased since this procedure was adopted

URGES PALESTINE
FOR zionist HOME
Lecturer Appeals to Jews to Labor
for That Purpose.

Declaring the noblest act of
Christian nations in all history TO
be the restoration of Jerusalem,
after centuries of wars and cru
sades. to the children of Zion, Itta-
mar ben Avi in his lecture "Pales-
tine, our National House." at Adas
Israel Congregation, Sixth and 1
streets northwest, last evening.
He appealed to Jews to labor TN
ceasingly to bring about the reali-
zation of their long cherished
dream, a home and a nation in the
Holy Land. He said he came as a
Jew from Palestine. having fought
his way to the outer world, with a
message to his brothers every
where. that they might, in the an
Cient home of their fathers, become
a nation of prophets and great
men, and that no obstacle stood in
their way but themselves.
Money, he told them, was needed
to carry on the work. as the Zion
lists in Palestine were not wealthy,
having sacrificed everything for
their ideals. He referred to the war
as a great calamity, but a. great
blessing as well, as freedom and
liberation would be given to many
oppressed nations and that out Of
it only good would result to the
Jewish people.

URGES ICE HARVEST
TO SAVE AMMONIA

Farmers and others who harvest ma
tural ice this winter and store 1t for
summer use will aid greatly in the
conservation of amomnia, vitality i'm
portant at this time. it is pointed out
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Ammonia is a necessity in the manu-
facture Of ice. Every ton of natural
ice harvested means a certain amount
of ammonia saved. Ammonia salts are
regarded as an essential in the manu-
facture Of certain fertilizers and the
cost Of fertilizers is dependent to some
extent on the market value OF am
monia.
or extreme significance at this lime,
however, is the fact that the most i'm
portant chemicals used in making am
monium nitrate and other explosives
are readily made from ammonia and
every quart of Americas already small
supply of this substance that can be
saved means more power to Americas
armies.

NATIVE-BORNS
SHOWN AS REAL
U. S. ENEMIES
Only Eight Of ! 300 Offend
ers Are Found to Be
Aliens.

The greatest internal enemy of this
country is not the alien enemy. but
the native born American with pro-
German leanings, and the naturalized
citizen.
This WAS the statement OF officials
Of the Department OF Justice yester-
day. The opinion Is based on actual
figures of cases under the war con-
spiracy and espionage laws.
The department let it be known that
the alien enemy is still potentially the
most dangerous element. and that he
was being guarded against on that
ground. The native citizen. and the
naturalized citizen. as such, are more
difficult to reach. When they spread
propaganda, which is their long suit,
the officials say, they are technically
beyond reach of laws which would
sweep the alien into an internment
camp at once.
One Thousand Draft Offenders.
Oficials pointed out that there were
about 1000 cases under the draft act
up to January /. These include fraud,
prosecution of members of draft
boards for various offenses, etc. Out
Of thisH number there were seventeen
acquit4s, while 500 pleaded guilty. Out
of the entire 1000 cases, only five in
dividuals involved were alien enemies.
OF $50 cases prosecuted under the es-
pioEage act, only six were acquitted.
Less than five were Germans. One OF
two Of the five are In abeyance. soathat
less than five can be said to be alien
enemies.
Oficials pointed to the exception
ally few who escaped conviction in
all these instances, as evidence that
the juries of the country are not
inclined to be lenient.
Under the war conspiracy laws
which were depended upon before
the espionage act. out of 40 cases
disposed of there was not a single
alien enemy.
Only Eight of 1,3OO Aliens.
Thus, it said, out of a total OF
1900 defendants only eight are alien
enemies.
Oficials pointed to this as show
ing that not through leniency or
apathy had alien enemies escaped
prosecution. The startling proportion
Of native-born and naturalized citi-
zens who were prosecuted. they say,
proves the contention that is made.
In the face of this. however, II
was emphasized that there is no
let-np in the quest for dangerous
enemy-aliens
1t was said that the danger was
becoming more in hand as time went
on, because the country Is being
better policed internally.
