NAVY TO TEST new
TORPEDO OPLANE IN
WAR OFF CAPES
Officers Disagree Over Eff
ficacy of This Type
OF Bomber.

Fifty miles east of Cape Henry
just after daybreak Wednesday
morning an aerial armada will
launch a vicious attack upon a por-
tion of the Atlantic Fleet.
On this battle ground" several Of
Americas finest "battle-wagons"
will attempt to repulse the on
slought of a score of torpedo planes.
a type of winged destruction barely
out of the experimental stage and
still in the process of development.
Naval officers look upon the tests
with keenest interest as marking
the development of the latest
weapon of sea warfare. The exact
Importance attached to these tests
is evidenced by the fact that n num-
ber of high ranking officers. includ-
ing Admiral II. T.. Coontz, Chief OF
Operations; Rear Admiral William
Mocett. Chief of the Bureau Of
Aeronautics. and Capt. Chauncey
Shackford. director OF gunnery ex-
erciseS. will leave Washington to
night to witness them.
The attacking force will consist
of twenty planes, eighteen of which
will carry standard 1S-inch
Whitehead torpedo. minus only the
warhead. which would change the
projectile to a weapon of wide
spread destruction.
A wide difference Of opinion eN-
lists over the possibilities of the tor
pedo plane. Both sides point out
that to all practical purposes 1t Is
still in the cradle
Service discussion of the proposed
tests has brought out wide range
of opinion as to the deadliness CT the
torpedo plane and its relative value
as a war weapon. Supporters de-
clare that. attacking by surprise. the
torpedo plane will be able to wreak
havoc among an enemy fleet
More conservative officers point
out that the inherent weakness in Its
attack Is the necessity for the torpe-
do plane to swoop down within
twenty or thirty feet of the water
before launching its missive. Furth-
er. the torpedo must be elected at
distance not greater than 1900 to
$4,000 yards from the objective. a
distance within range of the dread
noughts' big guns.
Its exponents counter by saying
the attacks would be surprise at
tacks launched under conditions
which would catch the enemy una
ware and thus prevent such a bar
rage. Great Britain recently has
completed similar experiments. ia
pan is likewise conducting erperi-
ments and recently has ordered a
number of up-to-date planes from
England which are now under con-
struction.
