WHITE To TELL
Of WILSON
AND BRYAN
Striking Drama in Lives of
Two Great Democrats Told
in Monday Times

Woodrow Wilson and William
Jennings Bryan!
Two stellar leads in the great
National drama that began in the
first days of the present century,
with striking climax in the
resignation. in 1915, of Bryan as
Secretary of State in the Wilson
cabinet.
In 1907, Wilson wrote to Adrian
Fl. Joline that he wished something
might be done to knock Bryan
once and for all into a cooked hat. "
And although this letter was
made public during the pre-nomina-
days Of 1912, Bryan, at a Jackson
Day dinner here in Washington
soon afterward, placed his arm
about Woodrow Wilson and gave
him the Bryan benediction.
The stirring days Of the famous
Baltimore convention as well AS
many other interesting sidelights
on the relations of Wilson and
BRYAN are, told in William Allen
Whites story, Woodrow Wilson. :"

STICKS TO

Flying General" Facing De-
motion, Continues Fight for
Unified Service

Hitting back again at mis-
lcritics, Brigadier General William
Mitchell told the House aircraft
investigating committee today
that the reason the battIeship
Washington was not sunk from
the air in the recent bombing test
was that no real explosive bombs
were used.
Only sand-filled projectiles we're
used, Mitchell said, and even
those pierced the armor of the
most modern battleship.
Naval officers had previously
disputed Mitchell's claims of what
had been done to the Washington.
People Being DeIuded.
Every nation knows what a real
bomb will do to a battleship and we
are only deluding our own people
when we fail to tell exactly what
happened to the Washington, said
Mitchell.
THE test showed nothing new
whatever for the Washington was
sent down by charges from the
sides. Only three 1000 pound
charges of T. N. T. were used and
T. N. T. is not the most effective
explosive"
In comparison with the 1000
pound bombs of the United States,
Mitchell said Great Britain and
Japan had bombs weighing $500
and $500 pounds, respectively.
Result of 1921 Tests
I'm 1921, the joint army and
navy board declared that high ex-
plosive bombs dropped from the air
could sink or seriously damage any
naval vessel constructed" said
Mitchell. Nothing has been done
since to change that opinion"
! AS a matter of fact, Mitchell add
ed, "battleships are even more vul-
nerable now because they are big
ger"
| No matter how fully protected,
both under and over water, no
capital ship could hold out against
air attack. Mitchell declared. say
/
in the world, out of water"
Mitchell challenged the testimony
of coast artillery officers that anti
aircraft fire could turn back an
enemy air invasion.
Overseas our casualties from
anti-aIrcraft guns were only one
tenth of l per cent" said Mitchell.
Anti:aircraft Futile.
mo fire from the ground can
beat back an air attack, the only
way to fight airplanes is from the
air" he said. And no fleet can
GET away from a gas attack from
the air"
Mitchell presented a hypothetical
example of an air attack upon New
York
I'VE would come over with light,
fast planes and drop gases ana
parachute flares, thus putting the
anti-aircraft- gunners out OF COM
mission, SO that they couldn't see
when our heavy ships came over
for destruction work., said Mltcnen:
What lesson are we to draw
from all YOUR testimony" inter:
iected Congressman Reid Rep) OF
Illinois.
Just this:
mo battleship can exist against
air attack, and no American city
can stand out against air attack
unless that city is defended by
airplanes.
Navy In Error, He Says.
"The navy Is in when it
rives out information, based on
the Washington tests. that battle
ships can't be sunk from the air
Battleships can only exist under
the loving care of airplanes and
Submarines"
