HOW ARM|sT|CE
SAVED BERLIN
Yankees Ready to Wreck Capt.
tai When Truce Came
PLAN WORKED OUT IN DETAIL
Elan Was To Combine Flying Tor.
Pedo With Scout Type Plane
And To Drop Tons OF
TINT Upon Berlin.

Cleveland.-How the signing of the
armistice saved Berlin from an aerial
attack was related here. with the
| permission OF the Government, for
the hrst time, by Lester +. Barlow
and Glenn l.. Martin. inventors of a
device for long-range attack Only
few persons are said to have known
the secret. so closely was II guarded.
The basis of the idea was the com.
bining OF the flying torpedo. built
principally along the lines OF the dual
motored bombing plane. with a small
plane of the scout type. but carrying
a large fuel tank. Mr.. Barlow said. In
flying to the objective the two planes
were to have been single unit. the
smaller planes engine drawing its
fuel from the torpedo planes tank,
leaving its own fuel supply intact for
the return flight
The range was limited only to the
distance the smaller plane could
travel in bringing the pilot back to
the American base. Mr.. Martin ex-
planned
"lf the war had continued Cleveland
would have contributed two inven-
tions which would have ended il
speedily" declared benedict Crowcll.
former Assistant Secretary of War.
"One would have been this flying tor.
pedo and the other the deadly gas
which was developed in the mouse
trap"
Our scheme to blow to atoms the
German capital-700 miles from the
battle lines-was so simple that Gen.
q. o. Squier. American ranking gen
eral OF the air forces. was skeptical,"
Mr.. Barlow said When he was con.
WINGED OF its practicability his great
est fear was that the Germans might
hit upon the same idea and put II into
effect before we could get the neces-
sary equipment across the Atlantic.
Under the plan as adopted fleet
of flying torpedoes. each of 500 horse.
power, would be piloted under cover
of darkness from the American lines
to within a few miles of Berlin. The,
pilots would return while the flying
torpedoes continued under mechanical
control to the center of the city
There the wings automatically
would be blown from the torpedoes.
causing the whole mass to fall On
striking. the torpedoes. each OF which
would contain a ton and half Of
INT or the equivalent OF poisonous
gases. would explode
In order to assure a thoroughly sue
cessful attack. our hope was to launch
fleet OF at least 80 of these dual
units against Berlin. Their flight was
so to be arranged that they could ap.
proach the city from all directions
simultaneously"

The defeats sustained BY Tom Furey's

terday, defeating Reading 80 to 30, and
handing a reverse to Trenton 20 to 1S,
but 1t was only their ability to cage
foul tosses that landed them a winner
over the Potters.
Both clubs Gagged the same number OF
field tosses, five going to either side,
and It must be remembered that teams
appearing IN New York are under a
decided disadvantage on account of the
net, and a visiting club Is certainly
entitled to at least q sporting chance
In winning on an alien court.
Inc team tndt again looms 10 the
front in the mind Of tho fans is Cam

games. but two were extra period de-
feats on the home floor and by single
point to tho Celts and Trenton.
The Skeetcrs are one Of the hardest
clubs to beat at home, and had they
come through with victories in these
games would have been on top. While
they are In third place. this Is due partly
to the fact that they have not played
rs many contests as tho leaders, else
they might be sharing first place.
Tonight they appear IN Coatesville
and expect to defeat Lou Sugarman ct

day with Reading and hope to soon be
