Weather Bureau
Asks Lookout
For Pordchutes
By tbe Associated Press.

By tbe Associated Press.
The Weather Bureau has issued ar
advisory warning" to be on the
lookout for parachutes.
The bureau is sending up minia-
ture broadcasting sets twice a day
from 40 weather stations in the
United States and Alaska to get
accurate information on weather
conditions up in the stratoSphere.
Each set. weighing less than 2
pounds, is attached to balloon
and parachute. When the balloon
bursts at an altitude from 5 to 10
miles above the earth, the parachute
open and drops the instrument back
TO earth. 1t may drift 100 miles
or more in its slow descent.
There may be money in the find
ing OF such a set. The Weather
Bureau offers a reward of from 81
to $40 for the return of one, de-
pending on its condition when
mailed back. About. As per cent of
all those sent aloft are recovered
and about 81 per cent can be re-
paired and used again.
And it's finders keepers with the
parachute. Reports already have
reached the bureau that the fine
silk has been made up into scarfs
and ladies' underwear.

Nazis Credit Plane
And Speedboat With
Two Ship Sinkings
Vessel 300 Miles West
Of ireland Blown to
Pieces by Dive Bomber
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Jan. ga German COM
bat plane sank a heavily LOADED
8,000-ton mechant vessel approx
mately 800 miles west of Ireland
this morning, informed sources re-
ported today.
The plane made three dive attacks
and hit the ship each time, blowing
1t to pieces, 1t was said.
The German high command re-
ported two other attacks on British
ships. In one, off the Thames
mouth, a German speedboat was
said to have sunk a 2,50O-ton mer-
chant ship in an attack on a closely
guarded convoy. In the other, a
scouting plane was declared to have
scored several direct hits on one
ship of a British minesWeeper
fotilla in the North Sea, leaving
the ship in burning, sinking con-
dition."
The high commands communi-
que said rail and industrial objec-
tives in Central and Southern
despite unfavorable weather con-
ditionS.
The airdrome at Lowestoft, which
the British were said to have re-
built after previous attacks, was
bombed again effectively in raids
yesterday, Nazis declared.
Other raiders, they asserted
bombed a railroad station in Kent
and destroyed tracks at Folkestone.
British artillery positions near the
English Channel were reported
bombed.

Bulgarian Cabinet

Nazi Demands
Furore Over Troops

Seen as Smoke Screen
3v the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. S.-Virtual-
ly the entire Bulgarian cabinet gath
cred today at Cham-Kouria, mount
ain resort, so miles from Sofia, lead
ing TO reports that the ministers
had joined King Boris III there TO
hear report from Premier Bogdan
Philoff on his health" visit to Ger
many.
The King, who has place in the
neighborhoOd of Cham-Kouria, was
absent from Sofia. Official sources
declined to comment on rumorS that
the King and his cabinet had gone
to discuss with Philoff the current
tension arising from the presence
of German troop concentrations on
the Bulgarian border in neighbor-
ing Rumania The Premier re-
turned from Vienna last night.
Although Philof's trip was said
officially to have been for the pur-
pose of seeing a physician, diplo-
matte observers expressed belief
he went there 10 learn the meaning
of the Nazi concentrations on Bull
gariaS doorstep and what part
Bulgaria would be expected to play
in any axis intentions
Phllof went on to Cham-K -Kouria
after brief stop in Sofia. Other
cabinet members known TO be there
include War Minister Gen. Theo-
dosSy Daskaloff and Foreign Min
lister Ivan Popoff.
The hubbub caused by the flood OF
German troops through Rumania to-
ward the Bulgarian frontier was re-
garded by some Balkan observers to-
day as possibly only Nazi smoke
screen to mask preparations else
where for blow at Great Britain
or Gibraltar.
Pointing to the unconcealed
massing of perhaps 100000 troops
across the Danube in Rumania,
these sources commented it had not
been the practice of the Reich to
publicize its blitzkriegs in advance.
They added that the Balkans had
been used before to divert attention
as last. May when German troops
appeared near the Yugoslav and
Hungarian frontiers just before the
Nazi armies Of the west struck into
the Low Countries.

lation as to the purpose of the
Nazl troop movements through
Rumania. an authorized German
spokesman commented in Berlin

is to consult with the United States
authorities to achieve the maximum
possible amount of agreement in
connection with the types Of aircraft
useful to both services, and a COM
mon standard of equipment insofar
as a common standard is possible.
Il don't come with the idea that
everything We have is the best.
There are certain respects in which
American equipment is ahead of
ours. For instance, in blind-fying
instruments, which some time ago We
adopted lock, stock and barrel from
America; in navigation instruments,
which are very good, and in bomb
sights, which are excellent here.
Also have at the present mo-
ment an up-to-date knowledge of
the practical side of air flying. This
knowledge is freely at the disposal
Of the United States authorities.
The course of the war up to the
present has consisted of a number
of phases.
Preliminary to Invasion.
"The fourth phase was perhaps
the most testing phase for the air
fighter command. There were heavy
day attacks delivered against South
eastern England as a preliminary to
invasion. There was no attempt at
invasion during this time. The Ger
mans sent over heavy bomber forma-
tions, and they just tried to crash
through. They courted interception
in order to beat down our defenses
at home and pave the way for inva-
sion.
"As you all know, that attempt was
unsuccessful and the great battle to
prevent invasion was won.
THE fifth phase saw the shift of
employment of German heavy bomb
ers to night attack on industry and
cities. That phase is still continuing.
After the night bombing menace
has been met there will still be other
methods in which Germany would be
able to use her heavy bombers--
most obviously, in wholesale attacks
on shipping approaching our coasts.
Guard Against Surprise.
"In air fighting it is necessary to
look ahead, and I think that in this
case we are looking ahead and will
not be taken by surprise by the Ger
mans in any fresh use of their bomb
er aircraft.
IT would like to say something of
the very valuable contribution which
the countries of Europe have made
to the defense of England, especially |
the Polish and Czech squadrons
operating in the firing line the past |
six months or more. They are mo-
tivated by a passionate hatred Of
the Germans, and they have fought |
like demons with great success be-
cause they have fought intelligently |
and methodically. They are mag
nifcent physical specimens with
most acute eyeSight.
About American aircraft taking |
part in our fighting-the outstand-
ing instance is the Hudson, which is
a Lockheed-type craft slightly modi-
fled by the addition of turret. The
Hudsons have performed most valu-
able service in the coastal command.

construction of a new incinerator
In Northeast Washington.
For the Health Department the
Budget Bureau recommended funds
for employment of rs additional
workers and an addition to the
domestic service house at Gallinger
Hospital.
While the budget did not contain
an item for the purchase of a site
for health center for the northwest
central area, as urged by Health
Officer George C. Rutland and other
health authorities, it was said the
Commissioners would suggest
project when they appear before
congressional committees.
Small amounts were recommended
for continuing improvements in IA
cilities at the Home for Aged and
Infirm at Blue Plains-the institu-
ton which last year was subject to
an investigation by a special sub
committee of the House District
Committee at which Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt made her first appear
ance as witness before a congress
sional committee. She had visited
the institution and testified many
improvements were needed.
Larger Amount Involved.
Although the net appropriation
called for in the budget estimates
for the 1912 fiscal year is S51. .765, ,236,
excluding trust and special funds
amounting to S3,818.685, the Budget
Bureau report to Congress shows
that obligated expenses of the Dis
trict for the coming fiscal year
would total s57,O46,123
The difference between the
amount recommended by the Budget
Bureau and the anticipated total
obligations represents items to be
placed in other supply bills and
an allowance of S500,000 for sup
Elemental and deficiency appropria-
tions which later this fiscal year
may be approved by Congress. The
items to be placed in other supply
bills include $685. $50, which repre-
sents so per cent of the costs of
the United States Courts in the
District; s378.152 as the Districts
half share of the cost of maintain
ing Freedmen's Hospital. $1,000 for
the Districts share of the salary
of the Engineer Commission and an
accounting of s3,818,685 in the Dis
trict's miscellaneous trust fund. the
latter of which do not have to be
appropriated.
Any way. District officials have
figured, the municipal government
will not end the new fiscal year in
the red.
