PARIS, Nov. 23,--No single

When other regions Of Europe

France strenu0usly objects to

out the vast distinction between

the ornaments Of an agricultural
country.

Bomb Tests Related
Mitchell told of the bombing
tests off the Virginia capes. The
planes were forced to fly 100 miles
out to sea, Mitchell said, to reach
the targets. When allowed to at.
tack the Alabama, he said, "our
bombs tore her to pieces in four

direct hit and she went down III

Telling next Of bombing tests off
Cape Hatteras in 1920, Mitchell
said: I'VE were instructed by the

bombardment plane in the whole
world capable of getting to that
altitude and certainly We had no
such bomber in this country.
I'VE took this order as a direct
attempt to nullify our efforts"

is between 1000 and 5000 feet
Anyway, we did get four or five
direct hits at the two-mile altitude. -
IF We went below 1000 feet"
he added, I'VE would be in danger
of getting hit by splinters from our
own bombs"

that direction. The firemen went on
to Woodside and returned without
locating the blaze. In the meantime
the stranger had returned and given
tbe proper directions. The blaze was
practically extinguished by the fam
lily and the four motorists by the
time that the firemen arrived.
When the flames were discovered
Mr.. Soper had just arisen from bee
