BOMBING PLANS
FOR AIR SERVICE

DOMBlNG PLANS
FOR AIR SERVICE
Independent Move to be Made Against
Old Ship.
Washington, Aug. 5.-An independ-
ent bombing enterprise. against naval
craft Is being planned by the army air
service. With the old battleship Ala
bama as a target and using missiles up
to 1000 pounds in weight, the army
f1iers hope to add a new chapter to
the inter-service controversy which
recently resulted in destruction from
the air Of number of former German
war vessels.
The Alabama was selected for the
victim following the request Of the
army for target ship. Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt has announced that
| the navy department is dsmantling
the vessel and will be ready to turn
about September /.
With the event exclusively an army
affair, it was said today at air SER
vice headquarters, efforts would be
made to simulat, actual battle tondi-
tions when the Alabama comes under
fire. For tht purpose thc army asked
that the ship be turned over in sea-
Goirg shape, absolutely water tight.
i'n!khcads sound, steam ~ her boilers
and ventilating and communicating
systems in working order Request
! also was made that her magazines be
filled with full loads Of powder and
that in all respect save her useful Of
fensive armaments, which are being
salvaged, She be ready for action.
1t was said that definite reply from
the navy as to the extent to which
the Alabama would meet these CON
di!:ons when turned over had not
been received, nor were the army
men hopeful that they could obtain
rGdio coh:rol equipment for her, sim
liar to that successfully employed on
| the battleship Iowa during the recent
bomb tests. 1t is hoped, however,
to have the ship in motion. probably
under tow, when the army airmen
open their attack.
| Army plans call for all phases of
air attacks at sea. Everything from
the 800 pound bombs, similar to
those first rained Oh the German
dreadnought Astfriesland, to missiles,
double the size Of the 1000 Founders
which sent her down, will be en-
ployed, it was said, and in addition
new smoke and gas bombs will be
| hurled at her docks from above. Sew
eral new projcCtiles OF the chemical
! warfare service are to be tested out
against the Alabama and penetrativc
Qulitics Of the bases will be meas
ured by means Of the ccntilatng
system of the ship.
| The air service plans TO attack
| the ship with torpedo planes. In this
| phase naval airmen may be asked to
! participate as army development Of
the air torpedocs is not regarded as
fully satisfactory.

was the Ostfriesland, but protected

1t took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble AS we had not

believed that we should let them

the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the

means OF other patients going under
ether and he had been gripped by
fear
His tonsil extraction was to have
been done under local anethesia. and
even this had. not been applied prior
to his death. Physicians at the
hospital said that as far as they
knew the lad was in health with
the exception Of slightly infected
tonsils.
The boys age and the town in
which he lived were the only two
facts about the strange and tragic
episode which hospital authorities
would make known. The chief resi-
dent physician at the hospital said
this morning:
Nobody knows what happened;
naturally we kept the fact as quiet
as possible in order not to alarm the
other patients who were about to
be operated upon. A number Of ward
patients and private cases are sched-
uled to have similar operations per-
formed upon them today. 1t would
alarm them unduly to hear of the
peculiar circumstances of the death
of this boy"
Several Of the physicians who were
present at the clinics last night were
asked to give an account Of the trag-
edy. They said they preferred not
to talk of the case and referred all
inquiries to the hospital authorities
The boys body is reported to have
been placed in the hospital morgue
The clinics marked the annual
meeting Of the section on ontology
and laryngology Of the College OF
Physicians of Philadelphia
