va, June so,-onicers OF the Attain
tic fleet who followed the air attack
upon the discarded United States
battleship Iowa. were confident today
that the test has proved that the
modern battleship is comparatively
safe from aerial bombardment Con-

About eighty bombs were aimed at

and the oficiai report showed only
two direct hits upon the Iowa's fore
castle. There was no defense from
the Iowa The attack lasted hours
and 20 minutes. -
NEW FAITH IN DANIELS
The feet Is splitting up today and
leaving the Hampton Roads rendez-
yous for the Fourth of July. There
are many officers on board who have,
new faith In the declaration OF for
mer Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels that he would be willing TO
stand upon the bridge OF a battleship
and let General Mitchell bomb him
from an airplane.
4 n was frst reported that the
bombers had not scored a single
direct hit upon the Iowa. but that
many OF them fell very close. This.
led to a controversy over the effect
upon a ships armor from bombs ex-
ploding In the water nearby.
The Iowa was travelling at about
eighteen miles an hour during the
attack and was steered In a zig gag
course by radio. There was no one
on board.
The following facts were cited by
proponents of the battleships as OPP
posed to aircraft:
The Iowa was sighted nrst by
blimps which were flying low,
making excellent targets for high
angle guns.
The rrst biurnp was sighted at
1857 o'clock and the first attack
was not launched until an hour
and 80 minutes later giving the
ship under battle conditions and
battle speed ample time for de-
fense and changing her rcourse-'
The FIRST radio report sent out
by the scouting planes gave the
position of the Iowa twenty miles
from the spot where she was sub
sequently located.
BATTLEsHIP STILL SUPREME.
Naval officers contend that the bat
tIeship Is still the supreme sea
fighter.
The proponents of the sirpianes
were not here to present their case.
The. experiment proved the value
of, radio control OF large vessels. for
the Iowa responded without fail 10
the control flashed from the Ohio,
which was miles astern. II Is be-
iieved that this development may be
of great value in operations where
ships are sunk at harbor entrances
for purposes of blockade. Such OPP
erations were carried out by the Brit
ish in the world war at Zeebrugge
and Ostend on the Belgian coast.

all seemed 50 eusy that lie Laughed. :. :.
But there were one or two factors
that he had forgotten, and the first
and most important one was the man
upstairs. The window. was thrown up
suddenly, and the man leaned out WaV-

with the strength Of the ammonia, but
Hugh saw him clearly in the light from
the room behind. And US he cursed
himself for a fool In not having tied
him up, from the trees close by there
came the sharp clang Of metal.
With a quick catch in his breath he
began to run. The two men who had
rushed past him before he had entered
the house, and whom, save for q pass
Ing thought, he had dsregarded, had
become the principal danger. For he
had heard that clang before; he re-

lief as the thing-whatere 1t was

out, lodging through the trees, let
loose by the two men. He heard some
thing crash into a bush on his right,
and give snarl of anger. Like flash
he sweryed into, the, underground on
the left.
Then began a dreadful game. He
was still some way from the fence
and he was hampered at every. step
by the man slung over. his back. He
could hear the thing blundering
about searching for him, and sudden
