PLANES CAUSE BID CHANGE IN I SEAWARFARE Battleships of Future May V Be Submerging Type, Say Experts. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Fordfa Editor, Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, July I.—Naval warfare, and every ship that is to participate in naval warfare, is in for early and drastic changes, in the opinion of advanced critics here. Thus from a purely practical point of view, the three sea powers now in conference at Geneva will be guilty of useless extravagance in ths expenditure of the taxpayers’ money if they fail to agree upon some fair and sensible program of limitation. Pew, even in the air service, agree with Col. William Mitchell, former assistant head of the Army air corps, when he says navies are obsolete because a battleship can be sunk by an airplane. But everybody save the die-hards admits the victor in the next war will have to be able first to gain control of the air. And while the battleship is likely to continue to be the backbone of naval power it will have to be a radically different craft from what it is today. All Will Carry Planes Every ship, down to and including the smallest submarine, progressive naval opinion holds, will have to be equipped to carry aircraft and to fight aircraft. Rear Admiral William S. Sims, retired, says submarines and aircraft will be” invincible in future naval engagements. And many agree with him. But some go even a -step further and predict that what we now call battleships will be able to submerge to escape destruction from the air. In a sense, then, the probabilities are that new navies will be composed of, submarines and submersible battleships, cruisers and destroyers, each unit being, to all intents and purposes, and aircraft carrier at the same time. Radio, aerial torpedoes capable of carrying death and destruction thousands of miles, picture transmission, listening posts in the air and under the sea, poison gases, and a score of other weird and amazing inventions are already revolutionizing the tactics and strategy of war. Become Obsolete Quick At Geneva the British have suggested that the life of a battleship, for replacement purposes, be raised from 20 to 26 years. Yet the chances are that the Rodney and the Nelson, Britian’s newest and finest 35,000ton battleships, will be obsolete before they have reached half that age. Aviation is just coming into its own. Lindbergh’s non-stop flight across the Atlantic and Chamberlin’s duplication of that feat within a fortnight, are already having effect. The world’s attention is now focused on the air, and, once the public is thoroughly awakened to the value of the plane, like the automobile, its development will be extremely rapid. Existing navies are not yet useless. Aircraft cannot yet take their place, and it may be some time before they can. But naval units are in for. a period of rapid obsolescence during which they must be changed rapidly to keep up with progress in the air. Navies are going to have to dive and fly as well as swim. Like Style Changes The economical housewife does not lay in a large stock of this season’s hats. She knows there will be new styles next season and she wants to be in style. An economical nation will not now lay in too large a supply of this year’s warships, if it can help it, for the world just now is entering upon a period when warship styles are apt to change mighty fast. The! trouble is, a single nation canpot act 'in this matter alone. A navy is no good unless it can defeat the biggest navy which may be brought’against it in given regions of possible,' or potential, danger For lis these regions extend southward as far as Cape Horn, because of our Monroe Doctrine, and to the Western Pacific, because of our S 'Door policy in China, the pines, and so on. .Acting in concert, however, there is ino real reason why nkval tonnage may not be held within reasonable limits thus saving hundreds of millions 6f dollars for each of the nations concerned. In fact, ordinary common sesnse warns us that this is the thing to do. MOTION

Don i t Forget! Marrying on April 1 Is Unlucky Bu v Vfm.ChGtO, j u i y i—william Cusack loved Violet Comstock and theirs was an ardent love affair. They married and Cusack gave his pretty bride a shiny coupe as a wedding'present. Then complications started. Cusack neglected to remember that he already had one wife, Mrs. Lillian Cusack. Mrs. Cusack neglected to remember that she already had one husband, A1 Comstock, at Manitowoc,. Wis. Cusack neglected to remember that his wife’s wedding present was a motor car obtained from a “drive it yourself” rental agency. Mrs. Cusack neglected to remember that she gave her first husband the motor car as a gift. But the rental agency didn’t forget. They presented Cusack with a bill for $921.10 after the motor car had been found near Green Bay, Wis. This resulted in both of the Cusacks being brought into court. The full story of the forgetfulness was brought out in court and resulted in Cusack being held. As an after thought Judge William V. Brothers asked the pair: “When were you married?” They answered in unison: “April Fool’s day.”

Dry League Trustee Says Liquor Law Too Drastic

Adams County Editor Favors Modified Prohibition Statutes. Even an Anti-Saloon League trustee agrees with Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom that Indiana dry laws are too drastic. Editor Fred Rohrer of the Adams County Witness, Berne, Ind., was one of the pioneer organizers of the League and beeh a trustee for years. His paper contained the following editorial: “Attorney-General Arthur Gilliom says publicly that he and Governor Ed Jackson violated the State prohibition law when they followed their family physician’s advice and procured whisky for their loved ones when whisky seemed to be the only medicine from which any help could be expected. “We said many times that the Indiana prohibition law is too stringent. It eventually will be toned down to conform at least with the Federal prohibition law. “Every human’consideration, Mr. Gilliom says, requires that statutory provision to be made whereby reliable whisky may be procured in emergencies of serious illness when attending physicians prescribe it as an indispensable medicine.” LOSE AUTO AT CIRCUS Nine Cars Reported Stolen From Near Show Grounds. Auto thieves who operated Thursday night picked the streets adjacent to the circus grounds as a fit place tff work. Stolen cars reported by nine owners listed that vicinity as the location where they parked their autos and then returned after the show to find their cars missing.
