BOMB PILOTS TRAINED
BY WATER REFLECTIONS
New Method of Improving Aircraft
Munitions Employed at
Aberdeen Grounds.

American bombing pilots are learn
ing new facts about airplane bomb
ing at Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Md. by the use OF water reflections.
By-means of moving picture films
made of the fall of the bomb over
smooth water. the reflection of the
plane below giving the true vertical,
important trajectory tests are being
accomplished.
The method was devised by Major
f. c. Brown. aircraft division. BY
use of the new method valuable data
Is being compiled for designing ac-
curate bombs and bomb sights. The
films show the oscillations Of the
bomb in flight, it's departure from
the theoretical vacuum path, its trail
angle, and time of fall. In addition
the ground speed of the airplane, its
altitude. its periodic oscillations in
flight, and the effect on the aircraft
of a bomb explosion several thou
sands of feet below are clearly seen.
The methods used are to be ap-
piled in the near future to tests OF
gyroscoric stabilizers for bomb sights
and cameras.

days after Easter. They plotted
quietly, and built castles concerning
their adventure" The exact amount

LLOYD GEORGE BLAMED
FOR "SHUFFLING POLICY

LONDON, April 23.-"The shufning
policy OF Premier Lloyd George Is a
bane 20 the alliance and a blessing
for the German war lords. because IL
Is helping them TO re-establish Prus-
sian militarism." said the Morning
Post today. in commenting upon the
developments of the supreme council
at San Reno.
The Daily Mail expressed the hope
that the supreme council would ac-
cept the viewpoint OF Premier MIL
lerand.
"Germany's request for an army Of
200 900 men should not even be dis
cussed," said the Daily Mail. This
paper referred to the German COM
munioation as "a note from the impu-
dent Hun"
The Daily Telegraph. in comment
ing upon Marshal Foch's proposal
that concessions be made regarding
the size Of the German army. said;
Marshal Foch had better have an
adequate army at home and no camou-
tagged troops"
The San Reno correspondent OF
the Chronicle quoted Premier Mil
lerand as saying: 1--WE are In full
agreement regarding Germany. Pre-
mier Lloyd George himself has de-
clared against any revision or the
treaty"
According to the Chronicle, the
interallied aviation commission,
whose report Is now before the SUI
preme council, has everywhere met
with bad faith on the part OF the
Germans. Airplanes which the Ger
mans were pledged by the treaty to
turn over to the allies were either
damaged or destroyed.
until Germany disarms, We GER
tainly cannot disarm ourselves said

Robert Underwood Johnson, the
American ambassador to Italy. has ar
rived here to attend the interallied

ton upon the decisions reached by the
council
Their is no lessening OF the breach
which exists between Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Millerand over
German matters. especially the size
of the army which the Ebert govern
ment will be allowed to maintain.
The British Premier favors conces-
sions to Germany, maintaining that
they are necessary in order to insure
the execution of the Versailles treaty
by the German government. Mr..
Lloyd George is said to be convinced
that Germany Is too weak, both eco
nomically and militarily, to be a
menace to France.
Premier Millerand is opposing Wig
orously the request OF Germany to be
allowed to increase her army to
100000 men, the figures originally
suggested by Marshal Foch. He holds
that a big German army would en-

Letters Worry Mothers.
The principal cause of worry for
both of the mothers is understood to
be the letters which have reached
Washington. in which stories OF meet
ing companions and travel are told.
1t is known that during their travel
of the South the boys met a young
man and that they are now taking
their "trip" together. What kind OF
company the Washington boys are
likely to fall into Is a source OF worry
at their homes.
When all hope OF their prompt re-
turn to the city was given up. Mrs.
