TIME 400 men in the Police Training
School who are to receive instruc-

machine gun which has been ordered by
the department are exceedingly interested In
the weapon and remark admringly on it's
simplicity. Ten have been ordered, and
these will serve for the learning process.

"a riot occurring In the city the number will
be ample TO awe any mob
instruction is given by squads by Captain
Charles Schofield, head of the Police Train
ing School and commander of the riot bat
talon. The first models Of the pistol ma
chine gun reached Headquarters on Sep
TENDER 10.
Uses of the Gun.
The sub-machne gun is particularly in
tended for use In street riots and In chasing
automobile thieves. The type ordered for the
riot battalion Is the highest calibre variety
manufactured. This is AS. 1t weighs but
seven pounds and fires 100 shots In nve and
one-half seconds.
This gun is the simplest In existence, auto
matte or otherwise. 1t has but eleven parts
and when compared with other automatic
guns, with their numerous and complicated
parts the design Is generally found admi-
rable 1t was invented by Gen. John I.
Thompson, ID. 8. NJ who was chief of the
small arms division of the United States
Army during the war with Germany and
the other Central Powers
The manufacturers with an Office in New
York, are the Auto-Ordnance Corporation,
with Col. NJ III. Thompson, vice-presldent. In
charge. The claim is made that any one can
take the sub-machine gun apart and as
BILE 1t in less than a minute and without
the use OF single tool.
While special interest In this gun With the
New York Police Department for It's peculiar
purposes lies in size and weight, both being
80 reduced as to warrant its being called
pistol. the inventor p,ints to many remark
able qualities in It's makeup and various
uses Prominent among these is that IL Will
fire either ball cartridge or buckshot and IL
can be used effectively at point blank range
or With the target a mile away. 1t can be
carried iu a case under the coat ready for
instant USE and by simply pressing the trig-
ger the gun delivers a stream of 1900 bull

BY the spring OF 1918 some twenty-five
German airships had been lost and not
few crews, mostly through accidents. This
retarded the progress Of an aerial campaign.
Moreover, the tall stories told by command
ers. such as the almost complete destruc-
ton of Liverpool, were being found out and
the morale of the future crews and the Ger
man people could not be kept up.
An officer in the air service has pub
lished what shows the change in public sem
timent and among the crews:
II myself have been on an airplane more
than once with my friends And the feeling
between travelling in an airship and an air
plane is entirely different. The airplane is
SO much safer. One has companionship, and
there is not the fear of the gas. II was the
gas that defeated us and not the English
defences; we should laugh at them but for
the fear of fire.
THE ships had become too delicate for the
skill of their crews. They were being driven
higher and higher, and in the summer Of
1913 respirators had to be worn by the en-
tire crew. Raiding under these conditions
became a physical hardship Of great in
tensity. Several of our men broke down.
1, myself. will never go up again; my heart
is touched, and / know several like me. You
see it is choice between that and certain
death from the gas.
Fear Entered Their Hearts.
"The gas saved England from much, your
gun defences were little good, and we could
have laughed at them. However much our
officers exaggerated them, we knew that
they were not good as they made out.
The airplanes, with their blazing bullets, are
what saved you, If anything ever did. But
1t was wonderful how you used the air
planes; and 1t was astonishing to us to find
out how much you knew about us. Two Of
our men who came back from England after
having been taken prisoners were astounded
at the way your officers knew all about our
service.
1--WE had always laughed at your childish
communicates; they were always an endless
source of jokes In our mess hut But after
1916 we suddenly began to feel that you
knew all about us, and that you knew when
were coming, and we cursed your COM
muniques, and wondered if nothing we could
do would ever make you tell more and show
that you were afraid of us. You got to know
all about our weaknesses, and you knew
how to what weapons you had in conse-
quence.
zone Of our men told us that one of your
officers chaffed him about the public house
which he used to frequent in his love-sick
days at Friedrichshaven. 1t gave one an
uncanny feeling, and made one feel very
anxious about having spies at our sheds, and
we believed that it was English spy who
set fire to the great sheds at Ahlhorn. The
end OF our service was not far off when the
armistice came"
We come now to the substitution of the
airplane for the airship The first German
airplane to reach London appeared suddenly
at noon on November %, 1915, and dropped
six bombs in Begravia. Owing to engine
trouble the airplane came down near Bou-
logne and the observer and pilot were cap
tured.
In the first few months Of 1917 the enemy

the advantage Of extinguishing lights espe-
cially in a country with whose landmarks
the raiders are not familiar.
In his new ship, L-31, Mathy revisited
London on August "a Previous to this he
made an attempt to reach East London in
L-l3, but at 1000 feet altitude he was hit
by battery at Stowmarket and compelled
to return. Breithaupt, in the LIS, after
crossing Suffolk and Essex, was hit by a
shell from Purfleet. These experiences con-
WINGED the raiders that London had better
not be approached again until the new go"
fleet of airships was ready. 1t was known
that the new type would be much larger and
able to rise much higher

First to Fall on British Soil.

The only ship that came to London in the
fall Of 1916 was military ship SILL,
which came in by Foulness dropped bombs
in the Enfield district and turned back at
Finsbury Park. She was attacked and
brought down by Lieut. Robinson in one of
six airplanes which had gone up to attack
her in spite of heavy fire from the batteries.
This was the first enemy airship brought
down on British soil.
On September rs Mathy did great feat
of navigation by flying along the coast from
Dungeness to Selsea and thence over Ports
mouth. He did not drop bomb on the lat
ter place, probably because, finding himself
at low altitude within gun fire near Ports
mouth, he dropped his entire cargo of bombs
into the sea. His crossing Of Portsmouth.
which is a naval arsenal, was a piece OF
bravadc typical of this flyer
This was the last of Mathy's exploits. On
October 1 he crossed the North Sea in L-31
with ten other ships. He was out for Lon
don. but at Chestnut about IL o'clock he
seemed to have abandoned his purpose. He
unloaded his bombs. when his ship was seen
to turn to starboard going west and injured.
Lieut. Tempest brought her down mass Of
flames at Potter's Bar. In this destruction
Mathy lost his life and the last Of the great
airship commanders was gone. Hirsch had
been lost in a thunderstorm in the North Sea
in 1915, Peterson was burnt at Billericay and
Booker was a prisoner in England. No one
arose Fit to take their places.
