ON BOARD u. S. S. HENDERSON,.
OFF CAPE CHARLES, Va, June 21.
-tBy The Associated Press with
in 16 minutes after the first division
of naval seaplanes had attacked the
former German submarine U-117 to-
day, the submersible was resting on
the bottom of the Atlantic. 90 miles
from the Virginia capes A direct hit
with a 163-pound bomb did the work.
Only three naval planes had a chance
to attack.
The direct hit terminated the first
of the experiments by the army and
navy to test the ability of naval yes
sells to. withstand damage inflicted
from the air.
The bomb that sunk the U-l17 was
one OF nine dropped from three planes
that constituted the first and only
aerial division to engage in the at
tack. A few minutes before the divi-
sion had dropped three bombs to get
the range. The projectiles were hurl-
ed from a height of about 100 feet
while the planes were making more
than 100 miles and hour. It was only
six minutes after the second salvo
was launched that the U-117 made its
last "crash dive"
The quick sinking came as a sur
prise TO most of the officers who wit
messed the experiment, many of
whom had been skeptical regarding
the ability of the planes even, to hit
the submarine. The U-117 was an
chored and the bombing planes were
furnished with charts showing its po-
sition
Plans for the test called for parti-
cipation by "a naval and marine
planes and a later attack by % army
machines if the naval craft failed to
sink the submarine. OF the nearly
200 bombs provided, only II were
used and of the AZ aircraft scheduled
TO take part, but three obtained shot
at the target while three more were
robbed of their chance after reaching
the scene.
The division that sunk the U-117
was commanded by Lieutenant Delos
Thomas. The three planes approach,
ed the target I'm battle formation. AS
the division swung around for the
run past the U-117. the planes drop
ped to about 100 feet and when the
head of the formation was almost
lover the bow OF the U-117 observers
saw three bombs, one from each
plane drop toward the submarine. An
instant later water shot up over the
craft.
AS the spray cleared away, it was
evident that while no direct hit had
been made. the aviators had calcu
lated the range so closely that not q
bomb fell more than the length o.

water by the explosion.

HUGE DAM
BELOW NIAGARA

NEW YORK. June 21.-Repeal of
the federal power act and the general
dam act of 1910 in the belief that
such action would open the path to-
ward immediate hydro-electric devel-
opments was advocated today by
speakers at conference of manufac-
turers with the Water League OF
America
To do away with this legislation
would automatically return to the war
department its former. authority over
the streams, speakers said, and re-
move hindrances to developing the
potential water power of the nation.
T. X. Thompson, of New York, en-
gineer. advocated the damming of the
Niagara river four miles below the
falls so that the tremendous power
of the stream could be harnessed
without marring the beauty of the
waterfall.
The proposed dam would make pos
sible the development of 5000 900
horsepower annually. he said.

night by the timely warning given by
two TRUSTEES serving sentences for

The Jail is on the sixth floor of the

for the officers, but with the night
jailer's keys the prisoners could reach

An hours search of the building re-

Washington Assured Nation

WILL MODIFY TREATY
British To Make Clear That
They Will Not Take Up
Arms Against u. S.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-(By the
Associated Press)-Japan will be no
titled this month of the purpose of
Great Britain to renew the treaty of
alliance between the two nations. ac-
cording to information obtained to-
day from an authoritative source.
: Ii is understood that the state de-
partment has been kept informed of
the plans of the British government
and that it has been given assurances
that in the renewal of the treaty ev-
cry precaution will be taken to guard
against the inclusion OF anything in,
imical to American rights.
According to information here.
while the imperial conference in Lon
don will deal with the subject, dis
cussion will be for the purpose or en-
abling dominion representatives of
Great Britain to express their views
upon the general subject with espe-
cial reference to its relations 10 Amer
lea, and TO suggest amendments. The
British government is expected 10 pro-
pose one amendment, which would
make il plain that Great Britain would
not take up arms against the nited
States in the event of hostilities be
tween this ountry and Japan.
The British position has been that
the present treaty makes this plain,
but to avoid doubt. il is said. IL is
now proposed TO make a declaration
in treaty form by the mention of the
United States.
When the treaty was renewed in
1911 for 10 years provision was in
serted that Great Britain would not
regard as within its purview any ma
tion with which sha had made an ar
bitration agreement. This was done.
it was explained, on the assumption
that the United States senate would
ratify such an arbitration treaty.
When the senate failed TO do so. the
British government let IL be known
that il felt justified in assuming that
its purpose TO exclude America from
the list of possible foes had been suf-
ficiently expressed in the protocols.
But there was still some doubt as
TO the legality of such construction
of the treaty, it was pointed out. and
on the consummation OF the Bryan
peace treaty in December, 1914. Great
Britain made a formal declaration in a
note TO Japan that IL regarded the
Bryan treaty as equivalent to the ar,
bitration treaty described in the An
glo-Japanese convention.

is only when the broken wire is moved
about, bringing the broken ends into
contact and thereby improving the rum

broken cable with a new one that the
trouble is remedied. The insula ton OF
defective cable may be in good condi-
tion. even at the point where the wire

end to end beneath the rear axle of a
car are placed there for the purpose Of
preventing the axle frcm sagging under
strain of vibration and load while the
car is in motion. Tie rods should al

ends. Unless the rods are tight they
will not serve their purpose OF relieving
the axle Of strain.
Of the automobile industry only sixteen
cars were made.
4. The following valve troubles will
cause misf1ring of an engine: Weak or
broken valve springs, springs out OF
place, valves out of time. opening or
closing earlier or later than intended,
bent or sticking valve stem, guide for
stem worn and valve rods or tappets too
