former German battleship Ostfries-
land was sunk off the Virginia
Capes at 1?:40 o'clock today by
army airmen who used giant bombs
to accomplish what lighter bombs
failed to do.
Exactly nineteen minutes after
the airmen launched their attack
with 1000 bombs the ostfriesland
turned on her port side and dis
appeared. stern first.
Bombs Crush Shell.
Not a 1000 bomb made a direct
hit, but all exploded close enough
to the ship to crush her thick shell
and send the water pouring into
her hold.
Prior to the launching of the
giant bombs. airplanes tried out
five 1.00O-pound bombs. Three di-
rect hits were registered. Just
what damage these bombs inflicted
was not noted. for when it became
APPARENT that the survivor of the
battle of Jutland had escaped q

pounds was ordered.
Vessel Rocks Like Chip.
Sweeping over the battleship at
a height of about 1900 feet the
division of Martin planes loosed the
great engines of destruction. The
first one landed close to the ship
and exploded with a terrific explo-
sion. throwing fountains of water
high into the air and rocking the
Ostfriesland like a chip. In quick
succession the other six great
bombs were dropped. all striking
close to the battleship, each one
apparently dealise a fatal wound.
A few minutes after the last bomb
was dropped the Ostfriesland turned
over and started to submerge. stern

from sight. leaving nothing but
rapidly vanishing bubbles to mark
the spot where she made her stand
against the death-dealing wasps of
the air.

the location of the regional war service
bureau for Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky

Mr.. Reynolds TO Senator Harry S. New.
Mr. Reynolds latest message was the
result Of reports that the Government

resentattve visited Indianapolis and
looked over ground. Wainer, Of bis
office, IN conversation with me indi-
natl at whatever cost Of Government
money necessary. basing his specious

count Of removal. feel Forbes has
broken faith If decision has been reached
and can hardly accept this as fact be-
cause telegram from him yesterday dated
Detroit states he viii surely have repre-
sentative visit Cincinnati and Indianap
oils July or 6. Wainer advanced argu-
ment that if Seventh district headquar-
ters were moved other districts would
begin 70 clamOr and further insinuated
that If our insistance became too great
he might recommend consolidation of
Seventh district with another, removing
headquarters from present district en-
tirely. If Forbes. Wainer and others
making decision We're spending their
own money they would consider the
financial end considerably more impor-
tant than they do when they are spend

showing practical application Of Admin
