Britisher's Efforts to Cause
Artificial Rain by Bombing
Skies Meets With Rebuke.
BY NEWTON C. PARKE
international News Service Staff
C0rrespondent.)

Ii LONDON, Aug. 13.-An entcrpris-
ing London newspaper tried to break
long spell OF drought by sllelling the
heavens on two separate evenings with
blanks and by dropping bombs from
an areoplane into few tiny clouds.
The rain didn't come. And now the
Rev. +. A. Phillips explains why God,
according to the clergyman, was angry
at the attempt to interfere with tbs,
normal processes of nature and with
held rainstorm that actually was on
its way, giving France and certain poT-
tions of England bounteous showers,
but keeping London dry as bone.
1T is not right or proper to attempt
to interfere with nature" said the Rev.
Phillips. Il, with others. was horri-
fled at the thought. God will provide
Us in due time, and He will not fail
us in this matter.~
The first shelling Of the air brought
out great crowds Bombs and the kind
of "maroons' used to warn England
of. .air raids during the war were fired
into the heavens for more than two
hours. The next morning two clouds,
apparently about the size of ordinary
bedspreads, registered appearance in
the blue, but that was all.
The second bombardment brought
no better results, though the sky be-
came overcast. Then the Daily Ex-
press, urged on by a number Of read
ers who advised the newspaper to
shoot the Clouds sent up a plane
equipped with small bombs
The areoplane swung up above the
clouds with bombs fixed at the end
of a fifty-foot cable The bombS-were
trailed' into the center of the clouds
and set off by electricity. The current
of displaced air resulting from the ex-
plosion sent the plane sliding off at
an angle of forty-five degrees. A few
moments later the pilot drove back
through the bombed cloud and emerg-
Aed damp from head to foot, but the
sufferers 5000 feet below were stii1
parched.

dates or unsupported charges would
not stand against the ofdcial records
OF the War Department concerning
the number Of executions. 80
Probably from time to time for sew.
eral years these complaints and
charges on the administration during
the var will. be, brought forward.
Many men returned from France with
fixed ideas Of grievance. Some Of them
had good eausssl Not all Of the officers
of the A. E. F.. were serupulopsly
careful, to observe the rules designed
for protection Of the men. There were
many blunders, due to inexperience
and to Incompetence. There WAS much
suffering due to the fact that the great
machinery Of. supply did not always
function perfectly. The hospital serv.
ice was not ideal, and there were cases
Of neglect and Of maltreatment Incl.
dent to hasty organization. !:
In sitting these charges Congress or
the War Department has to take into
account the fact that many Of them
are based ON misinformation, upon
rumor and upon prejudice. The per-
sbnal equation enters largely into
these matters. In an army. as in any
other large assemblage Of people, re-
ports spread and multiply: exaggera.
ton. is common. Il two men were
hanged for crime after trial BY court
martial on q given morning a story
might easily spread that four were
hanged, and soon 1t might grow into
a report that all Of them were hanged
without trial. These things happen
everywhere, stories growing out Of all
proportion to the truth.
In response to his demand, a select
committee has been named rather than
one of tho standing committees Of
the Senate to investigate the charges
advanced by the senator. There is
every reason to expect full, impartial
inquiry. 1t should be speeded. and
those who have Information to give
should be compelled to come forward
with their statements and should be
fully protected il they are telling the
truth. 49,
