Entire las muchas maquinas de guerra
que no llegaron a ser usadas por haber-
Sc flrmado ell armisticio, las Fuerzas
Reales de Aviacion de la Gran Breta-
ma contaban cor el aeroplano de tor
pedo, para combatir al enemigo. La
potencialidad del torpedoplano como en-
tidad de combate esta considerable CO.
mo superior a la potencialidad del sub
marino.
FL Almirante Rodman, que tenia ell
mando de la fota de guerra americana
en- Scapa Flow, compartio ell secreto del
misterioso aeroplano de la armada bri-
tanica, que hubiera sido utilizado para
ell bombardeo dc la escuadra alemana
encerrada en- Kiel 81 no hubieran ter
minado las hostilidades con la firma
del armisticio. Cuando ell Almirante
Rodman regres6 los Estados Unidcs,
llam6 Ia atenci6n los miembros del
Comite de Asuntos Navales con refe-
rencia al torpedoplano. Dijo:
"Los ingleses han inventado un aero
plano de torpedo 81 tuvi6rsmos en-
nuestra flots barcos de guerra equipa-
dos con ounce aeroplanos de este tipo,
seria indudable que 81 nos pusieramos
en- contacto con una Aota enemiga
podiamos realizar operaciones muy ven
tajosas que decidirian nuestra superio-
ridad."

do su escuadra con torpedoplanos pa
ra engrandecer ell poder de su armada.
Ningdn barco de guerra americana ha
usado el invento patentizado por el
Contra-Almirante Fiske en- la gran que

aceptacion en- America. Parece que
existia la idea de que el torpedo, Ian
zado desde un aeroplano, haria blanco
dificilmente, y que los aeroplanos Sc
rian facilmente destruidos por ell enc
migo contando con tan pobre medic de

clio del concepto que sc tenia de los
m6todos ofensivos del torpedoplano.

Cuando la guerra estapa concluyendo,
los ingleses, que estan siempre alertas
para acojer los inventos que los anne
ricanos rechazan pesar de su~ decan-

la oportunidad y Sc prepararon para
usar ell torpedoplano en- sus tacticas
agresivas contra la escuadra alemana
de alta mar. Es possible que los oficiales
britanicos planeasen ell torpedoplano
al nismo tempo que ell Almirante Fis-
Ike, pero sc cree que el aeroplano in
giles es copiado del americana. El Te-

Censor Helped
Defeat Germany

The postal censor In London was the
dam which held the flood of continental
mail until each portion Of 1t could be
passed upon and approved before be-
ing scattered over the wide world.
An idea of the immensity of the task
can be obtained from the fact that q
staff of nearly hundred expert lin
gusts was constantly employed to ex-
anime and approve mail matter writ
ten and printed in more than hun
dred languages and dialects. Manu-
scripts in every conceivable tongue
found their place in this great mass
of mail, estimated at about 10000 let
tiers daily.
Much Of the mail was passed with
only mechanical inspection, so sure did
the examiners become of certain cate
gories Of communications. But con-
siderable more than the time saved on
harmless mail was consumed in ex-
haustive examination and tests of
questionable matter, some of which
was subjected to all manner of acid
and X-ray inquiry to detect hidden
messages.
Smuggling Prevented.
There was also for a time a great
smuggling campaign, harmless looking
bundles such as newspapers contain

New York.-James M. Howard, pas
tor of the Bedford Park Presbyterian
church. who saw service as chaplain
with the Seventy-seventh division over
seas, has been going to bed early since
his return to America some time ago,
and until IL o'clock one night recently
nothing had occurred to disturb his
slumbers.
He scarcely dozed off when he
dreamed that the bell in the steeple
of his church was ringing as though
sounding warning Of an attack by
hostile airplanes.
The dream soon resolved itself into
a partial reality, and sitting up in bed
he realized that it was In fact the bell
in the steeple of his church on the
corner of Two Hundredth street and
Bainbridge avenue, the Bronx. and
that fully 40 automobiles filled with
people were in front of the church
looking at the belfry.
He dressed and as he was about to
go out of the door met Policeman
Charles Hess of the Bronx Park sta
ton, whose attention had been attract
ed by the crowd and the ringing Of
the bell. Accompanied by the police
man and the sexton of the church, who
had also appeared on the scene, the
former chaplain let himself into the
building and the trio proceeded to
investigate.
Pushing open the door Of the bel
fry he discovered Donald Hobson Of
2436 Morris avenue, who recently was
released from the navy, and who is
one OF his own parishioners.
In few words, however, Hobson
was able to explain his end of the

Bum was led into the station by
Policeman Becker. He refused to al

at attention while Becker made re-

will stay until the leg is better.
Bum was on duty with Policeman
Becker In Pitkin avenue, near Bristol

screamed at the approach of an auto-

fee, rice. tobacco. sugar. and so on.
Some even contained rubber hlddtn be-
tween the pages of the papers.
The most-sought-after evidence was
that Of military character, and the
censorship of mails more than repaid
Its expensive outlay In detecting In
formation that might have wrought
havoc with allied arms. or at least
helped Germany in no uncertain de-
gree. There is little doubt that none
of that character of information which
the censorship obtained will be made
public, but officials directing Britain's
war machines have not been slow to say
that thanks to the postal censorship
much valuable military information, of
every conceivable character. came to
their attention.
Propaganda was the greatest and
most constant effort of the Germans.
The most harmless appearing sets of
newspapers and magazines, some of
them with covers dated before the
war, dispatched from neutral nations
to individuals or societies, such as sci
entifc organizations, were often found
to contain the latest German accusa-
tions of British mismanagement in
Egypt, India or Ireland. Books, not al
ways in German, were found to con-
tain everything except what the title
proclaimed. The postal censorship to-
day possesses an intensely interesting
museum of many of the propaganda
carriers the Germans sent out, or
caused to be sent out from their agents
in neutral countries.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the entry
of the United States into the war, the
problem of airplane radio development
had received attention from the army.
In August, 1910, the first wireless
transmission from airplanes was made.
In the years following the development
of the airplane radio was carried on
through a series of accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows:
1912-Message transmitted from air.
plane to ground by wireless telegraph
over distance of 80 miles.
1915-Fan type of driving the wire
less power plant on the airplane de-
veloped and adopted.

Talk Thousands Of Miles.
Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development Of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use by
engineers of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culmi-
mated in successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Arling-
ton to stations thousands of miles
away.
In May, 1917, steps were taken to
combine the experience of the engi-
neers and of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later the airplane tele.
phone was fact, and in October, 1917,
long-range test was made. Tele.
phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in fight up to %
miles apart and from airplane to
ground up to distance of 45 miles.
The development Of voice command
ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst-
ner field, La, in May, 1918. On June l
an aerial review was given BY an air
fleet of two squadrons Of IS planes
each, followed by a close order drill
by a section of six airplanes.
Throughout the review and the drill
command was exercised by the voice
of the commander flying with the fleet.
In September following, voice COM
manded flying was instituted at sev.
eral other fields.
Avoids Many Accidents.
By using the airplane radio tele-
phone in instructing aviators in aerial
gunnery it was found possible to reach
the same efficiency with a saving of
one-third of the time. BY exercising
control over pilots in the air, accidents
We're practically eliminated.
At the signing of the armistice, de,
velopment and training in voice com
manded flying was well under way.
Numerous demonstrations were held
during November and December and a
feet Of 204 airplanes was maneuvered
in the air at San Diego by voice com.
mand.
In the practical application of the
airplane radio telephone to airplanes
over 5000 flights have been made with
this apparatus in this country. In the
last 1000 flights there have been only
"A cases of airplane trouble and only
25 cases Of radio trouble.
Shipments Of the apparatus to
France in quantities began August and
September, 1918, and Of trained air
service radio personnel in October.
Had the war continued the voice-com-
manded military air unit would un
doubtedly have made itself felt.

THWART MANY FOE SCHEMES
British Official Expunged "Lord Of

Smuggling Prevented.

The British postal censor is soon go.
Ing the way of the telegraph and cable
censorship-out. Judging from criti.
cisms in America, such as that Of the
Merchants association to the postmas-
ter general, the going Of this war in
stitution will be just as joyously well
coined abroad as in England. But
whatever the petulance of those who
think war restrictions have held over
too long, the postal censor, in the opin-
ion of those who have watched his
kwork from the viewpoint of British and
allied security throughout the war,
has been of the greatest service in
defeating Germany.
The nearness of the date of the de-
mise of this institution has called forth
considerable information about its
,, work. Thus far, however, there has
been no amusing side such as was
shown during the obsequies for the
cable censorship.
Just after Mr.. Lloyd George succeed
ed Lord Kitchener as secretary for
war it is related that he provided the
ammunition for the censor to give the
photographers lease on war life. Mr.
Lloyd George went to Bramshott to
bid good by to a Canadian division
about to cross the channel. After
the inspection he made a speech from
his motorcar, concluding with a quo
tation from the Bible: "And may the
Lord of Hosts be with you" Core
spondents who sent their dispatches
first to the censor were surprised to
find the final words of the secretary
running in this fashion: "And may
- be with you" 1t
was amusing, but also serious, in the
minds of the news writer's, so they
protested. However, they got their re-
ply from the censor's department
"The kaiser, having claimed the Lord
as his aid-de-camp, no reference must
be made to the Divinity in this connec-
ton"
Enemy Schemes Thwarted.
AS said, the postal censorship has
as yet turned up no morsel of rela-
tive choiceness. The postal censor
ship, however, has thwarted many en-
emy schemes that make just as in
teresting or more interesting read
ing. Furthermore, the British postal
censorship was much farther reach
ing organization than was attempted
in America, simply because England
was the channel through which virtu-
lily all questionable mail matter flowed.
