Members of both the House and SEN

up their hands in horror at the sug-
gestion OF naval airplane carriers
They were frowned on as a means to

frowning.
From a most unexpected source
Thursday came the prediction that the
navy would now be taken care of in
this respect.
AS the old Ostfriesland stood poised

sweep the guiding planes from the

without such a force the wireless

bombing is nothing more or less than
coast artillery. Coast artillery has an
effective range Of twelve miles at
the most. The airplanes which sank
the Ostfriesland Thursday had an eff

many miles further. Surely the vast
difference of effectiveness there must

be moving; that smoke screens would
