which he didn't need in Egypt, but
which would have been rather useful
in Mesopotamia, in the opinion Of
Chambe berlain. Some one had seen Bal
four before Chamberlain learned about
the cars. Chamberlain was disap-
pointed. So was Balfour.

said Balfour. "And l never thought
the navy had armored cars to give
away" replied Chamberlain.
Balfour and Chamberlain are states
men, just as some persons are bank
ers, because that was their fathers
business. They hold the same political
faith and have the same high sense
of honor and duty. They are Etonians
and graduates of Trinity College,
Cambridge. Balfour always has been
interested in matters of foreign policy;
Chamberlain has specialized more ON
domestic affairs, though he served a
considerable time in the India office.
Lloyd George is not likely to tell
Chamberlain humorous stories as they
sit in front of the fire at No. 10. Cham
berlain is serious, restrained, though
not reserved and timid, as was Bonar
Law. No one would expect Chamber
lain to crack = joke or to double up

Army and Navy Air Forces
Making Preliminary Tests

The aviation force of the navy has
made fine record Of accomplishment
in peace and in war There were only
forty-fve trained aviators in the navy
when we entered the World War. bu,
this small band distinguished itself in
building up bases on the French and
English coasts and in bombing Ger
man U-boats in European waters
Owing to the failure of the Wilson
Administration to properly provide for
the aviation branch, the personnel Of
the navy have worked at great disad-
vantage. Despite all discouragements
however, long flights across the At
lantic and the Panama Canal on both
coasts have been gallantly and sue
cessfully accomplished. Bills now be-
fore Congress which provide for Il
bureau OF aviation and for up-to- date
airplane carriers will give impetus 70
naval aviation and place this valuable
auxiliary service in the battlcaeet for
offensive and defensive purposes.
In anticipation OF the bombing ex-
periments against ships at sea. the avis
tion forces of the army and navy have
been actively carrying on many prac.
ticai exercises for months, boeh W.;
dummy and live bombs. The result
Of these tests have not been mad
public as rule. The army has boeN
given much greater liberty than tie
navy in this respecs But it IS known
that grea; accuracy in hitting has been
attained b. navy aviators in these pre-
liminary tests at different heights
above the target. And the army has
made remarkable records with dumme
bombs on a tareet representing the
area Of battleship's upper deck
The result OF the projected expert
ments will be awaited with impatience
both by those who doubt and by those
who are confident in the ability OF
aviators to land heavy charges of high
explosive on a ships deck

are surely worthy of respect. are con-
fdent that they will make large per
centage of hits. They insist that the
attack can be made under such con-
ditions that anti-aircraft guns would
be ineffective and that by using smoke
screens the gunners will be blinded
while the ships will remain in full
view. Under these conditions they
declare that the aviator will not remain
up in the clouds-he will come down to
such q low altitude that he can hit
with certainty. Give the young Amer
lean a chance and we shall see.

By Quarterback

TINE War and Navy departme nts
are perfecting arrangements and
revising the rules that are to
govern the projected bombing expert
msnss by the aviation forces of the
army and navy against the captured
German vessels and two obsolete bat
tleships of the United States Navy.
These experiments are to take place
between June l and July Is, 1921.
There are three main objects in view:
l. To demonstrate the ability Of
aircraft to locate the feet Of an
enemy approaching the coast.
2. To determine the chances of
hitting, with dummy bombs, from an
airplane, a vessel under way at sea,
maneuyered by radio from another
ship,
g. To determine the damage by live
bombs against modern vessels Of the
battleship, light cruiser, destroyer
and submarine types.
The original plan agreed upon by
the War and Navy departments has
been somewhat modified by the fact
that the conference Of ambassadors
has decreed that ali onetime German
vessels are to be destroyed before
August 9, 1921. A further change in
the plan may result from the request
Of the army air service that the
bombing test shall take place at some
Point off the coast within reasonable
striking distance of an army aviation
deld.
In the test to determine the chances
Of hitting ship in motion the old
battleship Iowa will be sent to sea and
will be kept under way by radio con-
troll from 90 to 100 miles offshore
She will be attacked by army as we'll
as navy planes using dummy bombs,
the fall of each bomb being observed
and plotted as accurately as possible.
The minimum height for the planes in
this experiment will be 1000 feet.
Ships of Various Sizes
Selected for Experiments
To determine the destructive effect
Of the airplane bombs the following
onetime German craft will be attacked
With live bombs Of various sizes:
Battleship Ostfriesland, light cruiser
Frankfurt, three destroyers and four
New-York tribune., 1921-04-17

submarines. The army air service has
been invited by the navy to take part
in these tests.
From the nature of things these ex-
periments will extend over period of
several weeks. There will be many de-
lays and interruptions owing to the
necessity of examining the vessels
after the explosion Of each bomb, in
order to discover the resisting power
Of the modern ship against such mis-
New-York tribune., 1921-04-17

The uses of aviation in coast defense
are self-evident. 1t must be plain that
a hostile fleet cannot safely approach
coast unless it maintains control of
the air above itself at all times. Should
1t lose this control it will be subject
to bombing attacks by day and by
night. Thus the attack overseas has
been made much more difficult and the
defense of a coast has been greatly
strengthened by the introduction of

The strength of Coalition govern
ment depends upon the measure of
agreement among the leaders of its
component parts. The personal ele-
ment is great factor. The tempera-
ment of the leaders weakens or
strengthens the union. Chamberlain
is not of the same temperament as
Bonar Law. who has been Lloyd
Georges teammate for five years.
Chamberlain is ambitious, proud !;
Bonar Law is satisfied to play minor
part. Bonar Law was loyal to his

ME Right Hon. (Joseph) Austen
Chamberlain shed the Joseph
and now he is the leader Of the
unionist party. which holds the ma
jority Of seats in the House of Com
mons. Son of an illustrious father,
his progress toward the highest honor
in the gift of the party has been slow
and often interrupted. In ms nifty
ninth year, Austen Chamberlain moves
into II Downing Street, next door TO
the house Of the British Prime MINIS
ter and a house which he called home
when his father was directing the af-
fairs Of the nation. The political ques-
ton Of the hour is whether Austen
Chamberlain will be the next tenant OF
No. lo.'
Joseph Chamberlain was considered
hard, bitter, merciless politician. In
debate ne was often cruel, playing on
the weakness of his opponent so
ieioasly that his victim sometimes had

which leaves raw places. His mouth is

and rather prominent nose. He al
ways is fussing with a monocle and
twisting his neck as if his high collar
enafed the back of his neck. He wears
morning suit, silk hat and spats,
even when he is pushing a tram around
hyde Park. He has three children-he
married at forty -three-and is de-
voted father.
There isn't much about the game Of
politics or the profession of statecraft

Ten and primary courses and then ne

ST. LOUIS WILL
SAIL ON TRADE
PROMOTION TRIP

New York, Sept. 2.-The American
steamship St Louis, fitted out as d
floating exhibition hall with samples
of the products of three hundred lead
ing American manufacturers. will
leave New York next January on ar
American sales promotion trip to 80
foreign ports. The slogan Of the en-
terprise, Til Tell the World will
fly from the forepeak. The trip will
take a year. The exhibition space is
equal to that of Madison Square Gar
den.
Although there are few misgivings
about the present being auspicious for
such a trip, j. Herbert Andson. the
promoter, says it should be remem
bered that business conditions in some
parts of South America are good and
will be improved in 1922. Japan,
China, India. Australia Norway and
Sweden have been to a degree free
from much of the financial worry that
followed the world war he says, and
the Balkan states should be a fertile
field for the exchange of commodities.
All those countries will be included
in the itinerary of the st. Louis.
1t is claimed that many of the
smaller countries have considerable g
wealth and buying power and that the
American manufacturers will lose Ola,
in those fields in competition with
Europeans unless they get busy. In
terpreters and credit men will be car
ried on the trip to assist the manufac.
turers' representatives in presenting
their goods to foreign buyers and es-
tablishing sound financial relations.
The ST. Louis is at present being con-
verted into an oil burner.
