T0 ATTACK SHIPS WITH AERIAL BOMBS Plans of Aviators for Maneuyers Are Made Public Washington, Aug. 2.—Details are announced of the plans for the de- struction by the army air service in bombardment practice of the old bat- tleships Virginia and New Jersey off Cape Hatteras late this month qr early in September, Since the Ostfriesland tests in 1921 army bombing has gone ahead tre- mendously, The largest bomb used then weighed 1,000 pounds. Army planes now carry 2,000 pound bombs and a 4,000 pound bomb for aerial at- tack has been made. The navy will be prepared to turn both ships over to the army air service about Aug. 20. Martin bombers equipped with two 400 horsepower Liberty motors, sim- flar to those used in the bombing tests in the summer of 1921, will be used. These airplanes are capable of carrylng a load of more than 2,00 ‘pounds of bombs in addition to their regular military load and will bomb from altitudes above 6,000 feet. For bombing at higher altitudes, from 15, 000 to 20,000 feet, the planes- will be ecquipped with superchargers to en- able them to reach higher altitudes with heavy loads: y Patrol Fleet Assigned The 50 fathom curve, 50 miles east of Cape Charles and about 80 miles cast of Langley fleld was the scene of the bombardment tests against the former German battle cruisers in the summer of 1921, but this location is so0 far from shore that considerable overwater flying would be necessary, increasing the hazards of pilots and bombers. This is considered unneces- sary since the 50 fathom curve lies only 22 miles off shore east of Cape Hatteras, and it is contemplated that the battlesitips shall be sunk in this vicinity, where they will be placed at their final anchorage after being tow- ed from Boston. As additional precaution possible accident and for patroling and observing purposes, five or six small seagoing craft such a§ mine rlanters or vessels of a similar type, will be stationed at intervals between Cape Hatteras and the target, The army air service is also taking action to procure a larger sized vessel for the use of observers and officials who may desire to view the exercises. Parachutes and Kapok vests will be worn by the crew of each airplane as an additional precaution in case of forced landings. Major Gen. Patrick, chief of air service, has detailed Brig. Gen. Mitch- ell, assistant chief, to take charge of the tests with headquarters at Cape Hatteras. The present plan is to es- againstY Dr. Stanton attacks Dr. use of pyrotechnics and possibly phos- phorus bombs. Smoke screens laid by airplanes will | be one of the features of the tests, The Martin bombers are equipped | with tank and nozzle apparatus for spraying purposes. A sufficlent amount of chemicals can be carried by one airplane, the Chemical War- fare service states, to lay a smoke screen about 1,000 feet deep and ap- proximately three miles long. The demonstration will be conducted to determine the feasibility of planes choosing their own aititudes for at- tack under cover of such smoke screen. The efnployment of smoke scréens would be made under the assumption that the attack force had control of the air and was able to maneuver, hampered only by anti-alrcraft fire from naval vessels. The personnel and equipment to be | used have been concentrated at Lang- ley Field and wi)l be transferred by alr to Cape Hatteras when the battle- ships are avallable. That part of the program which involves the sinking of the two battleships will not take more than four or five days. The army bill made $50,000 avail- able for bombing tests against obso- lete naval craft. ASSAIL FOSDICK ON. HIS BIBLE VIEWS Preshyterian Official Condemns Work of Famous Preacher Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—The Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Baptist clergyman, who is filling the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church in New York, is making a ‘scrap of paper” of the miracles, Christ's second com- ing and other fundamental Christian doctrines, according to Dr. Horace C. Stanton, secretary of the Presbyter- fan Ministerial association of this city The new attack on Dr. Fosdick is published in the Presbyterian under the caption, “Scrap of Paper Ethics in Presbyterian Pulpits,” and accuses Dr. Fosdick of following the lead of Ger- man theologlans in his ideas. i Fosdick | upon his sucgess as a preacher to young people. The Philadelphia clergyman quotes from the records of | the First Presbyterian church, New York, to show that only a ‘handful” of young people have been received into church membership under Dr.| Fosdick’s preaching. Dr. Stanton cites | a dozen Philadelphia churches whlchl have a much larger number of new| members received *“on confession of faith.” “A young man, with his doubts and difficulties, goes to Dr. Fosdick,” writes Dr. Stanton. “He learns that the Bible is not inspried, the creed which teaches that Jesus Christ was coneeived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, is wrong, the uni- Sterling Cable Nelson Huntington Cameron Radcliffc Stanley Lakesid: Arion De Kalb and Other Standard Makes e Will Announce the ONLY 248 The lowest price we believe ever made in Allentown TERMS Only a Few Left—Act Quickly Store Open Evenings Until 9 Other New Players— Only $385, $443, $495 Closing of Th Big Piano Sale Soon This Big Piano Sale Will Close Very Soon—DON'T BE TOO LATE THIS IS YOUR CHANCE—DON'T MISS IT!
