pared to sweep out to sea this morn
ing to seek and bomb the former
German submarine C-117 in the first
of a series of tests to prove or dis
prove claims Of air service experts

warcraft.
The attacking force today consisted
entirely of naval planes concentrated
at the Hampton roads naval base in
GLIDING practically all types, from
the fast scouts to the heavy bombers.
With the former German undersea
terror anchored fifty miles OF Cape

initial task OF the airman was to
locate her. Concentric red. white and
blue circles had been painted on the
U boats deck as a distinctive mark

height at which they should fly. al

nearly as possible in carrying out the
tests. Representatives OF the War

men were among the observers. some

Naval Flyers Rob
Other Divisions
of a Chance.
ONE DIRECT HIT
DESTROYS ENEMY
Officers Here Think
Element of Luck
Played Big Part.

The former German submarine
U-117 was sunk off Cape Charles to-
day by the first division of naval
planes sent out to bomb her. the av-
iators scoring one direct hit out of
twelve bombs dropped from an alti-
tude of l,2OO feet. The submersibie
went down in sixteen minutes, and
thus was ended the first phase Of ex-
periments designed to test the effi-
cheney of aircraft against modern
warships.
Three planes made up the attack
ing division. In the first attack each
dropped one bomb. all OF which 1eil
close to the submarine.
The squadron formed for a second
attack and this time each plane drop
ped the remaining three bombs car
ried and one direct hit was scored:
The submarine went down by the
bow. which sank beneath the waves
at 1925 am. The coming tower went
under minute later and the sub
marine was fully under at 1879 am.
The planes. of the F-5-L type, about
half the size of the NC-4. the first
heavier -than-air craft to cross the
Atlantic. Immediately returned to the
Hampton roads naval base. but sent
a radio dispatch in advance that their
attack had been successfr'
The commander of the squadron adS-
ed to his cryptic message OF the sink
ing that il was unnecessary to send
additional planes to the scene. This
ended the first phase of the bombing
tests.
Scarcely Expected to Score Hits.
Naval officers here said it was sur
prising that the first division OF
planes sank the C-117. as il had
scarcely been expected that any of the
first twelve bombs dropped would hit
the submersible. They were inclined
to the opinion that a large element OF
luck had entered into the scoring OF
hits.
Under the orders for the flight. the
planes could drop the bombs in any
manner selected and at any safe al
titude. Naval officers estimated that
safety.
Seven Squadrons Prepared.
Seven squadrons ,or divisions Of
naval Marine Corps planes had been
prepared for the attack. and IL lad been
arranged that il the 1S8 bombs carried
by them did not sink the submarine.
AZ Langley Field would undertake to
destroy the underwater boat. Had
the former German craft remained
afloat after that she would have be-
come the target for guns of division
of destroyers.
The next phase of the bombing tests
will take place on June %. Seaplanes
will search for and undertake to bomb
the radio-controlled battleship Iowa
somewhere off the coast between Cape
Charles and Cape HeniopOl.

ID. c. HEADS OPPOSE
| KING RAILWAY BILL
UnfavorabIe Report on Trac.
ton Measure Sent to Sen.
ator' Ball.

The Commissioners today went on
record in opposition to Senator Kings
bill to solve the street railway prob
lem of the District and again told
Congress they believe their own bill
will best meet the traction situation.
The city heads. acting as the Public
Utilities Commission. sent to Senator
Ball, chairman of the District commit
tee. an unfavorable report on the King
bill. which would empower the Capital
Traction Company to acquire by pur-
chase or otherwise the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
Provisions Favored.
Their own bill. which the Commits
sioners again recommend to Congress,
provides for the following steps:
Would authorize all of the street
railways of the District to merge, with
the approval of the Public Utilities
Commission.
Would give the Potomac Electric
Power Company the right to CONSOLE
date with the merged street railway
company.
Would abolish the 4 per cent tax on
the gross receipts of the existing
street railway companies and substi-
ings in excess of a 6 per cent return
on the fair value of the properties.
Would relieve the companies from
any part of the cost of paving the
street spaces between and adjacent
to car tracks.
Commissioners' Report.
The Commissioner report in op-
position to the King bill is as follows:
From an examination Of the pro-
visions of this bill it appears that
the principal object Of the proposed
legislation is to bring about a merger
or consolidation of the properties of
the two principal street railway
companies in the District Of Column

proposed trackage connections and
financial control, for the joint opera

THE commission has given careful
consideration to the provisions of
this bill, as we'll as to other bills
now pending before the Senate and

which have for their principal object
an Improvement in the existing un-
desirable conditions affecting the
street railway situation in the Dis
