WASHINGTON, June 16 (United | Press)—The American Navy will be| put to its severest test of history next ‘Tuesday, it was believed here to-day, When tests will begin on the Atianiic Coast to determine which weapon of War is superior, the battleship or the airplane. The bombing tests between the Army and Navy air forces and the American warship forces as at pros- ) @nt constituted and represented by the latest types of German war ves- @els, are to last about a mont) As the finishing touches were put #0-day on the final plans for these tests beginning next Tuesday, Briga- @ier Gen. William Mitchell, As- @istant Chief of the Army Air Ser- ice and in command of the Army Air Forces in the tests, was deter- mined to make good his statements @hat America in the future must look % airplanes as the most effective Means of defense; while high naval @fficers were confident that the com- fag tests would explode Mitchell's theories and would leave the su- perlority of the modern dreadnaught unchallenged. Admiral Henry B, Wilson, Com- Mander-in-chiet of the Atlantic Fleet, to-day was assembling the Pattleship squadron of his fleet in the Southern drill grounds off Chesa- Peake Bay for the tests. Captain A. W. Johnson, Commander of the Atlantic Fleet Air Forces and in charge of the Naval Air Forces in the maneuvers, was preparing his fleet of aircraft at the Hampton Roads naval air station, Gen. | Mitchell will leave W ton to- | |day for Langley Field, Va, where there Is the greatest concentration of | army air forces ever assembled, to} take personal charge.
