SEAPLANES WERE BUILT TO BOMB GERMAN SUBS Washington, May 18. — American’ naval seaplanes which have under-| taken the first flight across the At-| lantic ocean were built especially. for' bombing German submarines and in{ initlating their design Rear Admiral David W.

This was disclosed today by the| navy department, which made public Lower the following memorandum sent by Admiral Taylor on Aug. 1917, to val Constructor J. C. Hunsacker, “The United States motor gives good | promire of being a success and if wer can push ahead on the aeroplane end it| ssems to me the submarine menace' could be abated, even if not destroyed, from the air. “The ideal solution would be big fly-| ing boats or the equivalent that would! be able to keep the sea (not air) in any; weather and also able to fly across the Atlantic to avoid difficulties of deliv-! ery, ete.” Admiral Taylor, after discussion of the problem with his. assistants, di-! rected the preparation of tentative plans, Early in September Glenn H.
