NEW YORK, Aug. "a complete
story of the naval battle of Monte
video last December between the
German pocket battleship Graf Spec
and three British cruisers shows that
an airplane played one OF the most
critical roles.
The plane was British, from the
light cruiser Ajax The spotting of
this plane enabled the two little
cruisers, Ajax and Achilles, with
nothing larger than 6-inch guns, to
Outright and chase off the battleship
after the latter had put the cruiser
Exeter, with 8-inch guns, out of
action.
The story is told in the Chemical
Warfare Bulletin, by Capt. Carr P.
Kitchen, Mineola, Tex, Reserve
officer of the United States Chemical
Warfare Service, stationed on active
duty at Edgewood Arsenal, Mary
land. He obtained the data from
official and news accounts.
Graf Spec Laid Smoke Screen.
Contrary to early accounts of this
sea fight, the little cruisers did not
protect themselves with smoke
screens after the Graf Spec, with her
1l-inch guns, had only them to deal
with. 1t was the Graf Spec which
put up the smoke screens. With
smoke pots cast upon the sea and a
stern smoke apparatus, the German
vessel zig-zagged, laying smoke cur
tains, and lodging out from them
to fire at the British cruisers.
This maneuver was calculated to
destroy the British, for both sides
would have to spot their targets
after the German emerged, both
would be expected to make about an
equal number of hits, and the Ger
mans with big shells should be
victorious.
The Ajax plane spoiled this plan
for Capt. Langsdorff of the Graf
Spec. The plane was able to keep
the British cruisers informed of the
pocket battleship's position so we'll

Express Confidence
OF Trust vindication
U. S. Charges Attempt
To MonopoIize Supply
Of Electric Bulbs
ny the Associated Press.

~ TIE Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Corn
ing Glass Works and the General
Electric Co., named in a Federal in
dictment as conspiring to monopo-
lie this country's supply of electric
light bulbs, asserted today they
looked forward with complete con-
fidence" toa court determination of
the matter.
In an indictment yesterday, the
companies, two foreign concerns and
six individuals were accused of vio-
lating the Sherman Antitrust Act
and the Wilson Tariff Act through
"a patent agreement which gave the
1two American firms a monopoly in
this country.
1t was charged that an agreement
to run for 10 years, was reached in
1886 by which Corning was to have
the benefit of all American patents
owned by the N. V. Philips Gloei-
-1ampenfabrieken Dutch company,
for $4,000 to s25, 1000 annually. Half
the amount, the indictment charged,
was W NC pdlu ny ItIlcrdl EIleCtTlC.
Corning and General Electric pro-
f1duce all the glass envelopes which
go into the making of electric lamps
in this country, the indictment said.
\ According to the indictment, the
unlawful part of the agreement was
q provision under which the Philips
organization undertook not to ex-
-port the bulbs or tubes into the
United States or to any country
north of Panama.
The other corporate defendant
was the Nieuwe Nederlandsche
-Maatschsspij Tot Vervaardigen Van
Spiegelglas, N. w., another Dutch
firm, which served as an interme-
diary to meet provisions of American
Santi-trust laws, it was alleged.
Individuals named are Joseph E.
'Kewley, vice president of General
Electric: Amory Haughton, presi-
dent, and William H. Curtiss, vice
president of Corning; Vernon M.
Dorsey, Washington ID. c. patent
attorney, and Herman F. Van Wal

pointed out, did not need spotting
plane so long as the Exeter was in
the fight, since she was on the OPP
posite side Of the German from the
other two British cruisers, and the
British on each side could spot for
their guns on the other side.
Capt. Kitchen concluded that the
German pocket battleship is not the
invincible fighting machine it was
supposed to be. The Graf Spec was
supposed to be able to outrun the
light cruisers, but failed, and her
armor was supposed to be protection
against their smaller guns, but was
not.

him to carry on, to spread His
message.
Only the other day he found a
new JOY, new reason to believe that
life balances pretty well. Yes, it
was happy occasion when he saw
his brother, William, for the first
time in 40 years.
The reunion took place Mt
william Curran's home, l21
So. 96th ST., Tuesday evening,
and by Thursday the brothers
were quite well acquainted.
As they stood on the front lawn
waiting for their picture to be
taken. the Rev. Currsn observed a
large. silver-winged plane off to
the south.
That's one of those bombers
from the new McChord field" ex-
planned the photographer.
At once the Rev. Curran took on
a grave air.
wen need all of those we can
get" he said simply, and his audi
ence well knew what he meant.
The Rev. Curran nudged
his brother playfully in the
ribs.
you always were bigger than
I. When we were boys. you were
larger. and you still are"
WA Curran surveyed his waist

Meeting a brother for the first
time in nearly half a century might
seem unusual enough in any case,
but not In the Rev. Curran's. He
has yet TO meet q sister he hasn't
seen since childhood.
YES, l have q sister In Min
nesota that l haven't seen for
more than 50 years"
Unquestionably the happiest mo-
ment of his life came in 1882 in
Lansing, Mich, when he was re-
united with his mother, Mrs. Anna
J. Guthrie. after having been sep
arated from her for SO years.
Mrs. Guthrie. who visited in Ia
coma last year, had thought her
son had been killed in an sutomo-
bile accident. Likewise. her son
had believed his mother to be dead.
He frightened up like boy
when he recalled the reunion.
