Bombing Experiments,

Under instructions from the former
Secretary. the Navy is working out
plans for extensive experiments to
determine the effectiveness of air
craft against surface craft. 1t was
suggested by the Army and Navy
joint board that the experiments be
carried on jointly by the Army and
Navy. The following excerpts from
recommendations were submitted by
this board to the Secretary:
after careful consideration and
study of the bombing experiments al
ready directed by the Navy Depart
ment, and consultation with the act
ing chief of the Army air service
and the director of naval aviation
the joint board has reached the fol-
lowing conclusions:
THAT the bombing experiments
contained in the exercises to be con-
Quoted by the Navy are designed to
determine:
list The ability of aircraft to To-
cate vessels operating in the coastal
zone and to concentrate on such ves-
sells sufficient bombing airplanes to
make an effective attack.
''2d. The probability of hitting with
bombs from airplanes, a vessel un-
derway and capable of maneuvering,
but incapable of anti-aircraft de-
Tense.
"3d The damage to vessels of COM
result from hits with bombs of va
rious types and weights. The vessels
to be attacked by bombing are of the
battleship. light cruiser, destroyer
and submarine types"
1t is believed that these expert
ments carried out at sea will demon
state the effect of an airplane bonn
bardment of naval craft more effec-
lively than experiments conducted
with the vessels at anchor in shall
low water.
The results of these experiments
and the conclusions drawn there
from will be held secret by the War
and Navy departments until passed
upon by the joint board, and all Off
GERS concerned in making these ex-
periments will be instructed accord
ingly.

DROP LABOR COMMITTEE.
Railway Executives Regard It's
Services No Longer Needed.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The National
Association of Railway Executives at
a meeting yesterday voted to abolish
it's labor committee, asserting that it
had virtually completed it's work and
that it's further maintenance was a
constant invitation to seek a uniform
settlement of labor matters which
ought to be settled between each
railroad and its own employees.
The association also decided to
stand clear OF national boards of ad-
justment. declaring itself in favor of
decentralization in labor relations.

To Use Non-Standnrd shoes.

Instead Of throwing the thousands
of pairs of non-standard field shoes
on the, market for what they will
bring, the salvage branch Of the
Quartermaster Corps is developing a
plan for the redyeing of all these
shoes bought during the war and
now in stock. The iron heel plate or
rim will be removed, leather heel
substituted and the shoes made fit
for issue to the troops. 1t is esti-
mated that this work can be done at
nominal cost. and, when completed
the shoes will be ready for immedi late
use. instead of being sold for what
they might bring. This is in fur
therance Of the War Departments
policy of utilizing non-standard ar
ticles until the supply on hand is ex-

The foundation of free gov
ernment is in the expressed
will Of the people, and hold
it fundamental that all quail
fled citizens of the govern
ment should have the power
of expression as electors.
In the United States the
only statelike division in
which there is no right to
vote for President and Vice
President, members of the
electoral college and repre-
sentatives in Congress is the
District of Columbia.
This is because the federal
Constitution provides for the
exclusive jurisdiction of Con-
gress in the District of Co.
lumbia and makes no pro-
vision for the votes of its
citizens or for their repre-
sentation.
This exclusive power of
Congress was thought wise
because unpleasant expert
. ence made it necessary for
the capital to be such place
hot of such a place-in
which the national authority
would be supreme, and there
would be no clash of jurisdic-
ton between municipality or
state and nation.

privilege of service on either
the appropriating committee
or the legislative committee

Airplane Carriers.

In contemplation of the possible
authorization by Congress of two air
plane carriers for the Navy, designs
for these vessels already are in course
of preparation, and in their produc-
tion consid GRAFTON is being given to
all the information available concern
ing the characteristics and perform
ances of the several types of craft
used as carriers in the British navy.
Our carriers will be vessels of about
10000 tons displacement and a speed
of between thirty four and thirty five
knots. and so far as known they will
be larger and swifter than any car
riers that so far have been in service
in the British navy. among which are
the Argus. Pegasus. Ark Royal, Fu-
rious and Eagle, with the Hermes
building. The carriers for our Navy
will have a practically unobstructed
fying-off and landing deck for the
airplanes. elevators for carrying
planes to and from the deck. complete
set of shops for erecting. repair, en-
gine testing and overhauling of
planes. cranes for picking up planes
from the water, storage for fuel and
other airplane supplies ammunition
storage and handling facilities. etc.
Capt. Thomas T. Craven will be re-

Senator Shields believes that this
Is matter which should be handled
by the federal government He points
out that II state has a law against
the sale of pistols within its borders,
still any one in that state may have
pistol shipped in to him and thus
avoid the law. Very much as in the
days before the eighteenth constitu-
tional amendment was adopted, liquor
was shipped from wet to dry terri
tory.
A glance at the most recent figures
available for homicides in the United
States indicates that the ha bit of killing
is becoming more and more common
in this country. notwithstanding the
efforts made in other directions to
preserve human life. For in the year
1919. in thirty-one American cities
having an aggregate population of
20,065.s57, there were 1881 homicides.
or 81 for every hundred thousand
population. In 1900 the population
of these cities was given at 11,990,999.
and the number of homicides at 609,
or 81 for every hundred thousand
population.
Census Report Shows Killings.
A report of the census bureau
shows that. in the registration area,
lHcIuulnS a nUnDer OF states ana
many large cities. where homicides
are recorded as such. there were 1867
such killings in the year 1913. Quite
sizable number. The latest census
report shows a far greater number,
however.
Washington, D. c., is by no means
the most difficult city in which to
stop Il bullet or otherwise get your
self killed among the thfrty-one from
which statistics have been obtained.
In 1919 the rate of homiCides was
14s for each hundred thousand pop
ulation. With the population nearly
100000, IL is easy TO see that the
number Of persons killed in Washing
ton in that year was siZable. In the
period 1909-1913, however, the num-
Der of homicides in the District aver
aged IL to the hundred thousand
population.
Senator Shields is determined to get
some action in the matter of suppressine
the ready sale of firearms. SO far as
the District of Columbia is concerned
lie points out that Congress has eXclu
sivc jurisdiction over II, and can enact
laws 10 prevent the sale of pistols here.

Army and
Navy News
BY Capt. Arthur G. Duncan.
THE ARMY

N N ONTHS ago the matter of
M Army promotions was dis
cussed by members of the
Senate military committee.
There has since been no apparent
change in their policy-merit con-
sistent with the good of the service
and in a broad sense the elimination
of party politics--and credita BILE
showing so far has been made in the
confirmation of appointments and
promotions.
overcome in appointments and pro-
motions under the recent reorganiza-
ton act, the writer in December last
secured several signed interviews
from members of the Senate military
committee on this subject, which at
that time were printed in these col
umns. In the light of subsequent
events. it may be well to review some
Of them.
Senator Wadsworth, chairman, Sen
ate military committee, said: Those
appointments and promotions which
seem proper and advisable should. in
my Judgment. be confirmed for the
good of the service. II some prove to
be undesirable they should be re-
Jected. The political complexion of
the administration should have no
bearing upon Army and Navy ap-
polntments Each case should be con-
sldered upon its merits. according to
my way of thinking"
And in liberal Interpretation of
the method of appointments and pro-
motions to be made. Senator New
stated: Il am very much in favor,
not of interfering with. the War De-
partment. whatever may be it's po-
iitical complexion, but of co-operat-
ing with it in the best sense-giving
careful consideration to it's appoint
ments before approving them Neither
do | object to, but rather favor, the
theory of selection. But the very
basis of this theory is that the selec-
ton Will be made because of special
qualifications, and not in any haphaz-
ard fashion. or for any Interior mo-
tive. | favor careful consideration of
appointments that have been made, or
that will be made
When the final selection for pro-
motion of the limited number of gen
eral officers is made, and the present
tangle in junior officer promotions
has been Strengthened out. it is be-
lleved that the consensus of opinion
will commend the judgment of those

Increase Service Facilities.
Service schools at Camps Knox and
Benning and at Forts LeavenWorth
and Riley are being equipped with
salvage plants, where laundry and re-
pair work will be rendered gratis to
enlisted men. and at government ex-
pense = to officers and their families.
The facilities for each school COM
prise a laundry. shoe, clothing and
hat repair shops. The laundries at
Camps Taylor and Gordon have been
transferred to Camps Knox and Ben

been installed at Fort Riley. A laun

care of the post proper, the disci-
pIinarian barracks and nearby re-
cruiting stations. The work at this
post is operated by prison labor. The
installation of these plants is under
the direction of the salvage service
of the Quartermaster Corps Officers
of this service say that with ma
chimes and equipment taken from
abandoned camps cash outlay of
only approximately $4,000 is required
to install d plant. which. if purchased,

excess of 100000.

Back to Clothing Allowance.

return to the old method of
clothing allowance for enlisted men
rather than an issuance in kind has
been approved by the Secretary of
War. This change was made because
of preete- economy in the cost of
clothing, as soldiers will have an in
centiye to take care of their uniforms.
The present system of issuing clothing
10 enlisted men imposes an additional
heavy cost because of the absence of a
fixed and definite allowance. In addi-
ton. legislation enacted by Congress
REQUIRES the quartermaster general to
issue certain articles of clothing to
honorably discharged enlisted men who
did not draw clothing at the time of
their discharge. Between the date of
the armisticc and April 20. 1919. the
adiutant generals office estimat tied
there had been discharged 100000
men who were under the law entitled
to retain their uniforms. 1t is esti-
mated that of the same number ap-
proximately 100000 did not send their
uniforms back, and therefore are
equipped. Approximately 100000 ap-
plications have been received and a
full issue completed. Accordingly
there remain approximately 100000
to whom uniforms are yet to be issued
The Senate military committee pro-
poses to amend the Army appropria-
ton bill by eliminating this issue of
clothing to men in the Regular Army
and providing that emergency men will
have until July l next to exercise
their right under the law. 1t will cost
