/AR SERVICE HEADS : AP ATTACK PLANS = Will Show Public Need of Air- planes by Bombing Alabama. Air service officials are concentrat- ing their attention on plans for an independent bombing enterprise against naval craft in September, as a part of their program to educate Congress and the people of the United States to the need of a large and effi- cient aerial force for the country’s defense. The theoretical bombing of Washington and New York recently Wwas a part of their program. Using virtually every type of latest war inventions, including torpedo- planes, mines, gas and missels weigh- ing as much as 4,000 pounds, the air service officers will attack the old battleship Alabama, in the hope of adding a new chapter to the inter- service controversy which resulted recently in the destruction from the air of a number of former German war vessels off the Virginia capes. Army Requests Ship. Selection of the Alabama as the target for the aviatdrs was the re- sult of a request of the Army. Act- ing Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has announced that the Navy De- partment is dismantling the vessel, and it will be ready to turn over to the land and air warriors about Sep- tember 1. The event, it was said at air service headquarters, will be exclusively an Army affair and efforts will be made to simulate actual battle conditions when the Alabama comes under fire. Ior that purpose the Army asked that the ship be turned over in sea-going shape, absolutely water tight, bulk- heads sound, steam in her boilers and ventilating and communicating sys- tems in working order. A request also was made that her magazines be filled with loads of powder and that in all respects save her useful offensive armaments, which are being salvaged, she be ready for action. All Phases of Attacks. It was said that definite reply from the Navy as to the extent to which the Alabama would meet these con- ditions when turned over had mot heen received. nor were the Army men hopeful that they could obtain radio control equipment for her similar to that successfully employed on the battleship Iowa during the recent bomb tests. It is hoped, however, to have the ship in motion, probably under tow, when the Army airmen open their attack. Army plans call for all phases of air attacks at sea. Everything from the 300-pound bombs, similar to those first rained on the German dread- naught Ostfriesland, to missles double the size of the 200-pounders which s.nt her down will be employed, it was said, and in addition new smoke and gas bombs will be hurled at her decks from above. Several new projects of the chemical warfare servi are to be tested out against the Alabama. and penetrative qual- ities of the gases will be measured by means of the ventilation system on the ship. NOTES LAPSE IN COLORED |m POPULATION INCREASE : fm Metropolitan Life Insurance Com-[ pany Discusses the Decrease and the Possible Results. H ! How soon will the colored popula- tion of the United States reach a point where there is no increase in its numbers? The Metropolitan Life In- surance Company in its monthly pub- lication asks this question. The colored population of this coun- try increased at the rate of 6.5 per cent in the past ten years—a lower rate during the decade than ever be- fore. As there is very little emigra- tion or immigration of the colored people, the company says, condition of the population increase depends en- tirely on the relation of the birth rate to the death rate. “Today the colored people are not far from the point where the number | of their births and deaths will be about ! identical,” states the publication. Decline in the birth rate among the whites has been compensated by a very marked decline in the death rate, a condition that does not hold good among the colored people. While the birth rate among the colored is now about the same as among the whites the death rate is very much higher. Perhaps the most unfortu- mate tendency, the publication says, from the standpoint of race increase,l which is manifested among the col- ored people is their crowding into eities where conditions apparently are very adverse to their multiplica- tion. In 1819 the ratio of births to /deaths among the colored people in | the cities was 104 to 100, while in the || rural areas it was 159. “The evidence is very clear that what the colored people need more than anything else for their racial preservation is development of good public health work among them. “There were in the United States 10,463,013 colored people in 1920, who, for their own sake and for the wel- fare of their white neighbors, should be given a greater measure of pub- lic health instruction and service than they now enjoy.” . CLERKS OPEN CAMP. War Department Workers Estab- lish Cabin on Potomac. A number of clerks in the War De- partment have established the Army War College camp on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, just opposite Sycamore Island. It is located in a large three-room log cabin, and is provided with all facilities for indoor and outdoor enjoyment, including dancing, boating, fishing and bathing. A large veranda, provided with a phonograph, affords dancing space for fifty couples. Through Chief Clerk Scofleld, the members of the camp have extended an invitation to all clerks of the War Department to visit the camp at any time, particularly on Sundays, during the summer, and they are told to “bring whatever friends you like, whether they are employed in the War Department or not.” Visitors are asked to bring their luncheons. ‘The campers will provide transporta- tion across the river from the Syca- more 1sland landing, about a mile this side of Glen Echo.
