14 FEAR BOMB TEST - WILL NOT BE REAL Airmen Believe Rules Will Hamper Attack on Ger- i man' Ships. BY HERBERT COREY. Remember the old-fashioned tie- backs that girls used to wear? They Were a:sort of a ribbon hobble around the knees, you know. The idea was 0 give the wearer a nice little minc- ing gait. She could not step more than about seven inches. So she pro- joed on the observer an impression of sweetness and maidenly modesty and general uselessness. {Heaven forbid that any one should nd any relation whatever between old-fashioned tie-back and the nditions under which the Army and ips off Cape Hatteras. uch must be said: Neither service to be allowed to take its full stride. {The ex-German ships are not to be ttacked from the air as they would in a real battle. The operation is be a test of bombs and not a test | f the air-weapon against armored ips. No doubt some valuable con- sions will be reached as to the Examined After Each Shot. ‘“The reason why is that the target ip is to be examined after each it with the largex bombs. Two ex-German ships are to be at- ed and sunk in the course of the perations. Service criticism here ia the effect that it would be only r to permit flotilla attacks against ne ship, and use the other for bomb perimentation. “Why not let the airmen give ‘em they've got?” is the service way | ¢ looking at the matter. “Let the air | rce attack with a real flotilla, as Hey would in war, dropping all sorts ¢ bombs and gas and chemical. Let em attack at what height they wish, Fways preserving the fiction that the ttack is being made under activel rvice conditions.” x ‘The desire of the air forces is to | tove that the weapons to be nched from the air will put a bat- eship out of commission. One bomb, o matter if it weighs 1,000 pounds. hich is the largest bomb to be used this operation, might not succeed this, But if & score of fliers jwarmed overhead and _dropped mbs on and around the target ship, f:men believe they can put it out in ter time than a battleship could ith its heavy guns. Attitude of Afr Forces. “We do not wish to be judged by e results of a one-bomb-at-a-time mbardment.” they say. 2 It is even possible that no bombs at 1 will hit the target ships. Under e rules, “attacks by aircraft will be ade at an altitude of not less than 000 feet, and at the maximum speed ailable.” This regulation is evi- ntly designed to cover actual rvice conditions in respect to the tection of the bombers, so far as ssible. It is difficult to hit a plane a height of 4,000 feet. But it is 80 true that in war and in attack by flotilla it is entirely possible that e or more daring bombers would se to the ultimate height, and then oop like 2 hawk toward the quarry, pping the bombs at so low a height to insure success even under condi- ~@gons of the utmost peril to the at- ) ing force. Bombers flying at the 7 ht of 4,000 feet and dropping bs at a moving ship which is not juch more than 500 feet long must ve the devil's own luck as well skill to make any hits at all. Fear Public Won’t Understand. On the other hand, the reason for examination after each hit is ob- us. The surveying officers wish to w precisely what damage a bomb n effect against @ heavily armored jhip. One 100-pound bomb penetrated the lightly armored deck of the old ndiana, but that is a different matter THE EVENING - STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1921, A POPULAR VICTOR DANCE b RECORD Home Again Blues—Med- ley Fox Trot.
