Superior Air Power Could
Force Peace, Colonel Says

stripped the leaves from trees within
radius Of 300 feet as cleanly as if
they had been taken off by acid In
an attack on a fleet we would first
send out the observation planes to
locate the enemy and then send out
the pursuit ships to clear the air.
The observation planes could operate
for about 800 miles at seq.
The pursuit ships would not only
clear the air Of the enemy but would
drop small bombs, smoke bombs and
noxious gases of all kinds and phos-
phorous to blind the fleet. 1t is a
peculiar fact that while you cam see
up through the smoke the planes
could see down through it.
"Then- would come the bombers.
We would figure on sending three to
five bombers to each capital ship and
when they reach a ship it would be
mighty interesting aboard the vessel
at that time.
Anti-aircraft operation has a har-
assing effect on aircraft but it never
has repulsed a determined attack by
bombers.

Washington Is Silent on
Anii-American D e M

May Leave as Protest

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 17.-Al-
though the Washington government
maintained complete silence on the re-
cent demonstrations in Peru against the
abitral award made by President Cool
idge Of the Tacna-Arca controversy. it
was Learned from other sources that
these anti-American demonstrations
were of widespread and serious nature,
and that Herman Velarde, the Peruvian
ambassador here, may withdraw from
Washington as a personal protest.
Reports also have reached Washing
ton that Peru might take some step
toward seeking re-argument of the
CASE The state department, however,
has received no official intimation to
this effect.
Should the Peruvian ambassador give
up his post here, it is regarded likely
that the move would be entirely a per-
sonal one on his part and would not
be tantamount to a severance of diplo-
replaced would depend on the govern
ment at Lima.
Co-incident with the unofficial ad-
vices of anti-American demonstrations
in Peru, a message to President Cool
idge from the Peruvian president be
came available here last night, declar-
ing Mr.. Coolidge had favored Chile,
the guilty party to the dispute. The
message has the formal endorsement of
both houses Of the Peruvian congress.

Grass Girl Winning
Battle for Health
(By The Associated Press.)

SAM ANTONIO. Tex, March IL
Little Jimmie English is winning her
battle TO get well. Reports from the
hospital at st. Louis advised that San
Artonio's little grass girl was doing
even better than was expected.
The operation on Jimmie to remove
the blade of grass from her lung was
begun shortly after 1915 Monday. At
1915 it was announced the operation
was successful but it was thought that
probably second operation would be
necessary. The. operating surgeons
state that it is a little premature to
make any definite statement regarding
Jimmie's actual condition other than
that they are well pleased with the re-
suit of Mondays operation. They ARD
closely studying the case in an attempt
to avoid second application Of the
knife.
