We Can Be Bombed, Says Officer of Coast Artillery;
 Anti-Air0aft Guns Required

Most irksome were Major Phil lips comments about the U. s. three-inch anti-aircraft guns. Too small, was his verdict.
 Ten years ago." he said. "the American anti-aircraft artillery man could report, with justice. that his gun had the bomber stopped. The three-inch gun was effective at attitudes well above the capacity of loaded bombers at that time.
 Since then the speed and ceil- ing of bombers has doubled. Load ed bombers can fly at 28,000 feet. Our own air corps is bombing at 22;O00 feet more accurately than it was bombing at one-third that altitude 10 years ago. Speed has increased from 100 to 300 miles an hour. Anti-aircraft artillery now being manufactured should be able to cope with 300-mile-an-

ATTACK FROM THE SEA

Major Phillips hammered on the idea that seacoaSt cities must de- pend on artillery not airplanes for protection
 Planes. he said, can sweep off carriers 300 miles out at sea, to bomb coastal cities before defense planes can get into the air to stop them.
 Our anti-aircraft coast defense cannot be supplied by interceptor aviation" he said
 On the contrary he reported, experience in the Spanish and Chinese wars had demonstrated that artillery can disrupt bomb- ing operations. even though the toll of planes is not high. He cited an attack of Chinese squadron against a Japanese aircraft car

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-When you read that British embargoes are shutting off one-third of our tobacco export market and are hit ting our cotton, wheat. and fruit growers, you're just getting new examples of the fact that war is hell even on people who aren't in it.
 The moves that hit American farmers where it hurts are part of an economic triple play devised by British economists to win the war within a year. If American economists are right in their de- auctions, the play works like this:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-"Today we can be bombed"
 "Airplanes exist that can make the round trip from Europe to the United States with small load of bombs"
 The only rational and effective defense of an objective against night attack is provided by anti aircraft artillery"
 A cluster of such statements has served to demonstrate once more that there is no solid front in the War Department about the best way to keep alien bombers off our backs-if war comes.

THE MAIL is COMING.

Don't you hear Mr.. CARROTS wheels
hulnmjng?
He is driving just as hard as he can
go,
And he would drive little faster
But he's fearful of disaster.
The farmer wants his mail on time
you know.
He got letters for the master,
For the sick, some pill and plaster
He got lots of things they all enjoyed
to read.
He has patterns for the ladys
And some pictures for the baby,
He is the man that all the country
people need.
Every day in every weather
He must get the mail together.
Make no difference how the slect and
rain may fall.
When the zero winds arc blowing
And the air is thick with showing,
No excuse to Uncle Sam at all.
And he thinks it such a pity
Can't be forced this round in slop and
mud.
But there is one thing sure as thun-
der
They would have to don some plum
der
For they'd spoil that starchcd I'M
maculate Sunday dud.
He is always out with letters
Sound he is by U. S. letters
And he never gets d day he calls his
own.
But he is glad to do his duty
Finding some delight of beauty
Now and then along his checkered
pathway.
SO each day he is always going
Never thinking, never knowing
OF the Joy or sadness streWn along
his line.
Some he leaves in tears and sadness,
Some he leaves with mirth and glad
ness;
Still he is going, coming, leaving all
the time.
