il the Iuture particularly as II is presented
by the airplane enthusiasts of the army,
which is preparing. at Langley Field, Vir-
ginia to participate in the June demonstra-
tions. This writer, upon visit to Langley
Field, riding in Martin bomber airplane
as an observer, recorded the rema rkable
achievement of the army fiers who, thirteen
miles out over Chesapeake Bay, at an alti-
tude of 5000 feet and travelling at ninety
miles an hour, dropped liz bombs on
target with record of 73 per cent direct
hits
In the face of such an airplane record as

fdence in the superiority of the battleship.
among such officers as Admiral Taylor,
chief of naval construction, and Capt Mof-
fit, chief of naval aviation, and many other
officers who have to deal with the gigantic
subject of operations.
The high navy officers are unanimous in
their assertions that whatever the June
tests will show it will not be that the
battleship is obsolete or even endangered
of being forced out of its long established
place as the most important instrument of
warfare for the United States. The tests
may show, the officers admit that some
notifications may be necessary frem the
present design of battleships to protect
them from serious damage from heavy
bombs dropped from the sky, but very little
more.
In participating in the discussion the
naval authorities are in the peculiar posi-
tion of holding both sides of the argu-
ment-both for the battleship and for the
flying craft, since aviation is part of the
naval establishment, just as is surface
craft. The aircraft used in the navy is
Of a vastly different type from that used
by the army, due to the fact that it must
be constructed primarily for over water fly
ing, equipped To enable ii to float if water
landing is required.

cult that their aim could not be depended
on if the present sighting apparatus were
to be employed. The sights now used are
fixed sights, the value of which Is COM
pletely destroyed If the aircraft is thrown
out of level as might easily be accom-
plished through heavy anti-aircraft fire.
All this, of course, would minimize the
chances of battleship being hit by air
plane bombs under battle conditions. Just
the same, however, the question of even a
low percentage of hits is recognized-for
the value of aircraft which would get
through the counter assaults and actually
drop bombs on the decks of batteships is
a matter that must be considered

Modern Armor Adds to Navy's
Confidence in It's Security

The navy, in its answer to those who
play up the havoc wrought by aircraft
bombs, simply calls attention to the fact
that the armored warship is a product of
years of thought and endeavor to keep ex-
plosions out of the vitals of such vessels
vitals such as the steering gear machinery
magazines, guns and battle communications
such as are placed behind heavy armor
In other words special armor is pro
vided for the essential portions of the mod

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., May 2l.

T HIS, then, is the navy's side of the
story:
The great battle fleet, far out at
sea, is getting into contact with the enemy.
Everybody is on toe, everything is in readi-
ness, awaiting the word to strike.
The fighting lines are formed and the
ships grimly hold their places in the
tactical arrangement as they dash ahead
toward the foe that is not yet in sight.
The enemy is down on the other side of the
horizon, visible only to the seaplane scouts,
who are well ahead of the fighting ships
and high in the sky
off the deck of Il seaplane carrier one
of the fastest vesseis of the fleet. more
seaplanes are hopping one at a time like
birds would do from the open door of a
cage. Still more seaplanes are getting off
the runways built on the pairs of twelve
and fourteen-inch guns, which gisten in
the hazy sunshine as they strain anxiously
out of the swinging turrets AS one gets
away another seaplane is swung. with a
derrick from the deck, onto the runway for
the flying start
The seapanes get into formation above
the fleet, into wedge-shape groups over
the battleships, like angry birds lowering
over their nests to ward off an attack by
other vicious flying creatures. They are
faster than the battleships and gradually
they move forward over the first and then
the second lines, up to the destroyers ahead
The New York herald., 1921-05-23
Big Guns Begin Firing
And Bombing Planes Appear

Huge observation balloons, hooked to the
battleships by heavy cables, are trailing
the fleet. In the baskets are navy officers
with powerful marine glasses. watching
for the enemy Through the cables run
telephone wires. permitting continuous com
munication between the basket and the
battleship. 1t is the fire control through
which, with three rapid shots. it is possible
10 get the enemy range
Even though the enemy is not in sight
the firing begins. The powerful guns. al
most in unison, spit out the armor piercing
projectiles with marvellous accuracy The
enemy Is returning the fire. Shells are
bursting all around The battle is at It's
height.
On one side a smoke screen Is set down
black, heavy smoke, which lies close to the
water, as dark curtain to hide the move
ments of the fighting vessels. 1t is a bust
nesslike operation, with hundred things
IN motion, smoothly and accurately, as If
the great machine had been accustomed to
battle every day when in fact it is the
thing the navy personnel has been training
for and building for through many years.
Over the horizon. now plainly visible
speeding at hundred miles an hour. come
the enemy airplanes-the smaller ones first
but behind them the giant bombers under
which hang heavy charges Of the deadliest
explosives known to science. They are
coming to sink the battleships with bombs.

.PROSPECTOR, GIVING
UP HOPE AFTER 40
YEARS, TAKES LIFE

"Old Man Johnson" as he was
known, one of the Oldest gold
prospectors in New Mexico, finally
became discouraged in his forty
years hunt for the Adams diggings
and and blew out his brains on
Wednesday night at Palomas Hot
Springs. He evidently lost faith
in the policy of perseverance.
Hundreds of other prospectors
have sought out the famous Adams
diggings and with no more sue
cess than the old man who spent
| so many years in the hunt for gold,
Johnson was a we'll known figure
iamong the mining men of the state,
| He is survived by a son who ope-
rated a pool hall at Magdalena.
The Adams diggings are some
where in New Mexico. They are
thought to be in the western part
of Mckinley or San Juan counties,
but no one knows. Since the day
| in the early sixties when Adams
staggered back into Tucson, Ariz.,
with the bag of gold nuggets which
he had found, dozens Of other men
have attempted to locate the place
! Of which the prosecutor was able
to give only a meagre description
Exhausted from the hardships OF
the journey which had killed the
other members of his outfit
Adams told as much as he was able
and then died. The diggings have
never yet been located,
