that all the existing differences be-

and. second. by adding to the cove

defining the relations of the United
States to the league, in accordance

This. it is contended, would enable
the United States to ratify the treaty

without involving the American gov

execution of the treaty.

President Harding's wish to disas-

TAX ON Anthracite
BY KEYSTONE STATE
MAY INCREASE PRICE
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. April 2.-The
proposed lazy OF q tax Of 2h per
cent Of the value OF every long ton
Of anthracite mined in Pennsylvania
is calculated to raise millions OF
dollars for this commonwealth at
the expense OF the consumers of
coal throughout the eastern states.
A bill providing for the tax has
just been Introduced at Harrisburg
and is said to have the backing OF
the state administration.
A very large proportion of the
seventy millions of tons of afithra-
cite mined each year in Pennsyl-
vania is shipped out Of the state.
1t Is naturally assumed the tax
will be passed along to the ulti-
mate consumer. and this means that
the north Atlantic as well as a
number of middle western states
would be taxed heavily to help
support Pennsylvania institutions.
This leads to the fear here that
the proposed legislation would re-
suit in retaliatory measures by
other states and create a condition
almost akin to the tariff barriers
of the European states.

SUPREMACY Of lair
SERVICE EXPLAINED
Gen. Mitchell Calls Land and
Water Defense inefficient
AGAINST Plane Attacks.

Defense from ground or water
would be inefficient against an at
tack from the air. and for Eounter
attack only the air can be depended
on. Brig. Gen William Mitchell of the
air service told the Society of Auto
motive Engineers last night at the
Cosmos Club in discussing plans
being made by the air service to test
effectiveness Of aircraft attacks on
battleships.
Anti-aircraft fire during the war
was used chiefly on the defensive, he
explained, to protect balloons. Three
inch deck armor is the limit of thick
ness which can be pierced by gravity
bombs. he said, but it is not known
whether actual piercing of armor is
necessary. since bombs may do suf-
ficient damage otherwise.
He compared types of missiles and
explosives used in warfare. He said
that shells carried 2h per cent Of ex-
, plosive, relative to their weight: tor
pcdoes carry 20 per cent of their
, weight and aircraft bombs contain
more than SO per cent OF their
weight.
The air service. he said, Is planning
to attack ships first with gas bombs
and then with 300-pound high explosive
bombs. following this with 1,100-pound
high explosive bombs.
The l.1O0-pound bombs are expected
to have a serious effect on a ship IL they
drop within sixty feet of it, and the
service plans to make tests of this on
one of the surrendered German battle
ships. The general described some re-
cent American developments in air.
| planes and bombs. stating that the
United States was making very rapid
advances and that all-American equip
ment of excellent performance had been
pendent of foreign sources. In con-
cluding. he stated, in reply to a ques-
ton, that the battleship was not yet
! obsolete, but that it might be super
seeded by aircraft within twenty or thirty
years.
