CHECKED
BOMBING OF berlin
Inventors of Long-Range Attack Explain How
They Had Been Instructed to Turn
Fifty Planes on City.

fuel tank, Barlow said. In flying to
the objective, the two planes were to
have been q 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 Amer
lean base, Martin explained.
IF the war had continued, Cleveland
would have contributed two inventions
which would have ended it speedily,
declared Benedict Crowell, former as
sistant secretary of war. 'One would
have been this flying torpedo and the
other the deadly gas which was de-
veloped in the 'mousetrap'."
N Says Plan Very Simple
Our scheme to blow to atoms the
German capital-70O miles from the
battle hnes-was so simple that Gen
eral G. o. Squier, American ranking
general of the air forces, was skepti-
CAL" Barlow said. When he was
convinced of it's practicability, his
greatest fear was that the Germans
might hit our planes before we could
get the machinery properly working
Under the plan as adopted, a 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 a half
of I. n. T. or the equivaent of poison
GUS gases, would explode.
In order to assure a thoroughly sue
cessful attack, their hope was to
launch a fleet of at least 80 of these
dual units against Berlin. Their flight
was to be so arranged that they could
approach the city from oil directions
simultaneously.
Two months before the armistice
was signed, the inventors say the gov
ernment ordered them to proceed i'm
mediately with the production of a fly
ing torpedo fleet. A thousand air
plane torpedoes, Martin estimated,
could be constructed and used for the
cost of one modern battleship. He
estimated the cost of one such torpedo
at $4,000.
There is little new to the inven-
tion," Barlow explained. Rather it
is a fusing together of what was then
known" he continued.

POWERS URGED

SMYRNA PARLEY
American Refugees Put
Up CHASTITY Tale Of

Arrive at Athens for
Treatment, Maladies

Athens, Oct. 15.-CBy The Asso-
ciated Press sl-Turkeys suggestion that
the Near East peace conference he
held at Smyrna should be rejected once
for all by the powers, if they have
any consideration for the health of
their delegates, in the opinion of
American relief workers, some of
whom have arrived in Athens from
Smyrna, with strange skin maladies re-
quiring medical treatment. They re-
port that sanitary conditions in Smy
rna are unspeakable; the bodies of
horses and other animals, and some of
the Symrna residents who were killed
in the disaster are still found IN the
streets.

RECEPTION STAGED
FOR LLOYD GEORGE
ON LONDON RETURN
Premier COnfers With Church
i'll at Length; Papers at
Sea on Speech.

London, Oct 15.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press s)-Premier Lloyd George
returned to London Sunday. He met
with hearty reception from crowds of
admirers and had a long conference
with Wanston Churchill, secretary for
the colonies.
Churchill will be in charge of the
Irish debate when parliament takes up
the matter of ratification of the new
Irish constitution and as the necessity
of securing ratification before Decem-
Der 6 makes this task q heavy one, in
connection with an early appeal to the
country, it is assumed that the whole
subject was threshed over.
The premier's speech at Manchester
Saturday leaves political circles com
pletely at loss to prognosticate the
next political movement. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that there will be an
early dissolution, although this suppo-
>:tion does not arise from anything the
premier said at Manchester, but from
general review of all the factors in
the existing situation. and above all
from the conviction that the speeches
of the prime minister and chamberlain
from which so much was expected, have
in point of fact left things just as they
were before and have done nothing
whatever to arrest the progress of the
revolt in the conservative rank and
file against the continuance of Lloyd
Georges leadership.
First commentators on the speech
Of Premier Lloyd George in Manches-
ter, writing IN the Sunday morning
papers, make strenuous efforts to read
between the lines-to discover what the
premier had in mind as to his personal
intentions.
Anti-coalitionists refuse to accept
the speech as an answer to the vari-
Gus charges laid against the govern
ment of mishandling affairs of state
especially of the Near East problem.

New York, Oct. 15.-It has been
safety week. electric show week, fire
prevention week, election registration
week and Sulgrave institution week.
1t has been in other words, a fairly
well filled little week.
We started off gaily with the idea of
safety. 1t developed that the main
thing was to save 10 lives a day. 1t
looked a bit hard until legislation
came that saved the lives as you save
money when you don't buy hat: it
saved 'em by not killing 10 day.
Everything discussed
Scarcely had the tumult and the
cheering for safety died when attention
was attracted toward the convention
of the Federation of Women's Clubs,
whose 500 delegates met at Hotel Com
modore. The delegates discussed
everything, from art TO movies and
Boy Scouts, but the unusual and out
standing fact was the tentative intro
duction of tattooing as a means of
boosting ones home town club.
Mrs. Robert Macyntire did not have
the emblem of the Peekskill women's S
club tatooe1 on her arm, but she
thought it must be a good idea. What
she did have was a Masonic emblem,
an inch wide scimitar and car at the
base of her thumb. Il let my husband
tattoo it 20 years ago." she said, land
it never fails to win courtesy and con-
sideration for me when 1 am living
alone"
Finds Booze In Violin
A cynical detective noticed the fond
ness for violin music evinced by merry
makers at a local dance. He stopped
the third violinist on the way TO the
party and made him open the violin
case. Inside lay violin which the
detective ordered opened And in
side the violin lay the source of the
LIQUID music and also of the merry
making; lots of bottles of gin.
Prohibition agents, by the way, are
closing places along Broadway under
common nuisance" provision of the
dry act. According to the agents a
place that sells liquor is nuisance.
Well between going to the electric
show and being careful not to kill
seven people day, and registering
for the election the other thing that
had ones mind on was the Eng
lish delegation from Sulgrave institu-
ton. Sulgrave institution is the
Anglo American society Wnlch D0ugnt
and keeps in repair the home of
George Washington's ancestors in
England. The delegates came here to
present bust of the late Ambassador
Bryce to Trinity church and to pre-
sent to the American branch of the
Sulgrave institution a hitherto unpub-
lished letter to Washington.
The letter. written from American
revolutionary headquarters in Norris
town, N. J., contains one sentence
that ought to be printed in gold across
the wall of every pacificist room, in
deed it would not hurt our feelings if
it were engraved in the senate cham

LEAVE IN RELAYS.

Adrianople, Oct. 15-The Greek
military authorities have announced
that the evacuation of the Greek army
in Thrace will take place in three
stages, first in the Adrianople dis
trict. second around Rodosto, and
third, at the Martha river. Five days
will be allowed each section to evacu-
ate.
The allied officers have been direct
ed to refuse inflexibly any inattention
of the five day periods.
Greek headquarters will remain at
Rodosto until October 20.
One of the questions which arose
Sunday was concerning the telephone
and telegraph wires and equipment
which the Greeks were dismantling for
transfer to Greece. They said they
found the country denuded of such
means of communication when they en-
tered and that therefore they pur-
posed to leave it in the same state
Allied officials have filed protest.

BETTER PRICES
FOR PRODUCTS
Of FARM NOTED
Rally in Grain Market
Comes When Turkish
Crisis Seems Passed.
Increased Activity Is
Noted in Business and
Industrial Circle e S.

New York, Oct. 15.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. Better prices for farm
products and evidences of increased ac-
tivity marked the past week in busi-
ness and finance. A rally in grain
prices comes oddly enough at a time
when it was clear that the crisis in
the Turkish difficulty had been passed.
It was attributed partly to reports Of
smaller crops abroad. In any event
December wheat rose above $1.09 a
bushel, approximately 10 cents above
the recent low.
Domestic crop estimates made pub
lie by the department of agriculture on
Monday show, on the whole, virtually
little change Wheat is now placed at
S10,000,000 bushels, or only 100000
less than in the previous government
estimate, while corn is expected to yield
2.S53, 100000 bushels, or q 100000
bushels less than was forecast on Sep
tember /.
Cotton meanwhile rallied to above %
cents a pound. Existing prices are
over 2 cents above the recent low and
are materially less than / cent below
the high of last year.
The weeks federal reserve state
ments indicate both an increased vol
ume of business and a movement of
funds toward agricultural districts.
The reserve ratio of the system is now
nearly 5 per cent below the peak which
was reached at the close of the season
of summer dullness.
Oversubscription of the treasurys
new issue of 30-year 4A per cent
bonds is regarded as favorable indi-
cation as to the condition of the in
vestment market.
Industrial returns continued encour-
aging. The railroads have set a new
high record for a year in the matter
Of cars of revenue freight loaded. the
total for the week ending September 30
being 99S,000. Nevertheless, car short
ages continue to represent the limiting
factor in the steel industry and in a
number of others. Steel prices are
slzUNing a tendency to recede.

AV|ATORS
FAIL To SURPASS
AMERICAN RECORD
STAYED i'm Air Over 81 Hours,
Or About an Hour Less
Than u. S. Men.

LIE Bourget, France, Oct. 15.-(By
The Associated Press. The French
aviators, Lieutenant Bossoutrot and
M.Drouhin, who ascended in a Goliath
biplane at Glib Saturday morning in
an attempt to beat the American dura-
ton flight recently made at San Die
go, Calf, by Lieutenants John Mac
Ready and Oakley Kelly, landed at
4:27 Sunday afternoon, having re
mained in the air 81 hours, IA minutes
and 80 seconds.
They thus failed to equal the record
of MacReady and Kelly, which was
35 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds.
The French aerial federation con-
siders the mark set by Bossoutrot and
Drouhin an official worlds record,
contending that the American flight
was conducted under such onditions
as would not be accepted by the In
ternational Federation of with the
United States is a member.
Halfway to America
'T have been to America and half
way back again." Lieutenant Bossout-
rot said to the Associated Press cor
respondent as the latter greeted him
in heavy furs. The aviators were
forced to land through lack of gaso-
line, of which they had taken 4,200
litres when they started. When in
formed that his performance did not
break MacReady's flight, Bossoutrot
remarked:
81 don't see how he could do it,
with the gas he is reported to have
had aboard"
The Goliath travelled $500 miles,
according to the instruments, which
were sealed before the departure and
remained within 600 to 1000 feet alti-
tude for the first II hours. When
the gasoline load hghtened it ascend
ed to 5000 feet and remained there
throughout Sunday.
At midnight, after being in the air
for 18 hours, Drousin complained of
cramps, owing to cold coffee. Boss
outrot took command, remained at the
helm for several hours. He was
then almost exhausted and aroused
Droussin from the camp bed within,
saying: ''rhere is plenty of gas left.
Shall we land?-I am finished"
Men Surpass Engines
At this time they were within sight
of lie Bourget, but Droussin revived
at the thought of landing. Physical
endurance proved superior to mechani-
cal devices, as the engine gave out
before the pilots, although Boussout-
rot was a sorry looking sight as he
alighted with bloodshot eyes and puff
fed face from extreme cold, while
Droussin staggered from the fussel-
age, where he had been attempting to
repair the left motor. This motor
died about 4 o'clock and the plane
continued its flight with only the right
motor for 81 minutes longer

cording to unofficial advices from

No explanation has been forth

by the British government as part

last years interest. Under the
terms of the loans the accrued in

information available locally was
that the payment would be on the
interest account.
