BILLION DOLLAR GAMBLE - I Ships for Targets in Airplane Bomb . Tests. ( Army and navy experts on aeronautics and superdreadnaught armaments, members of the -house and senate and high government officials will gather off the Virginia Capes this week to watch the beginning of tests to determine whether the newer en- j gine of war, the bombing airplane, can make junk of the finest surface battleship. "While the test proper will be comparatively inexpensive, since ex- ( German craft are to be destroyed, the ( project is spoken of in army and navy i circles, as va $1,000,000,000 gamble in ! armaments." For i several weeks the army and navy air services have been practicing for the tests at the bases near 1 Norfolk. While navyaviators have been reticent the army fliers have stated that preliminary tests convince 1 k them that a fleet of airplanes dropping 1 B hnmhs ran annihilate a fleet of surface 1 battleships as now designed. Should . tests confirm the opinion expressed by i army airmen it will mean dhe- revolutionizing of naval warfare with a heavy loss on ships in commission or contracted for. > The test begins today with army and navy fliers bombing the former i German submarine. U 117. On June 22 destroyers will shell three'U boats, the 140, 111 and 48. .< On Tuesday, June 28. the U. S". S. ' Iowa, a battleship, unmanned, will be operated by radio controlled 'steering apparatus and engines ' to : 'a point about 100 miles off the Virginia capes. , Army and navy fliers will seek to locate the ship and drop dummy bombs on ' her to determine accuracy at a rapidly moving target. Other tests will be made on July 13, when airplanes will bomb former German desiroyers; on July 18 with , the bombing of the former German cruiser Frankfurt, and on July 20, with I the bombing of the former.. German k battleship Ostfriesland. In . this last B test the flyers must register at least K two hits with the largest bombs. If the vessel is still afloat it is to be H sunk by big guns of.the battle fleet. The naval air forces will be under command of Capt. A. W. Johnson and the army air force under Brig. Gen. W. H Mitchell. Wf ?John Henry Williams, a negro, was F burned at the stake at Moultrie, Ga., H last Saturday. His crime was criminal V assault and murder; There was no possible doubt about the negro's guilt. I His victim was a 12-year-o!d white girl named Lorena Wilkes. She disappear ed on Monday .of last week and Wilw liams was arrested . shortly after her ' disappearance. He confessed his guilt, f He went with the mob to a pond, waded into the water and. showed.where he had concealed the body,, which was then recovered. The negro would have been lynched at once, but a deputy V* J ymt In + A or* n utAmnKl In on/1 OiiCUIL f>UL liitli, I iifcu an uuwi*?vi/uv| uuu ran with him almost into Florida. Later he was put in jail at Columbus, from which place he "was .taken to Moultrie last Saturday morning-. The evidence was conclusive and the negro . was convicted. He ..was sentenced to be hanged July 8; but a mob took him from the deputies and carried him back to the scene of the crime. Here he confessed again, saying that he had seen the little girl pass and had waylaid her. She had begged for her life; but he killed her to keep her from telling, and weighted the body d,own in the water. He said that the devil made him do it. The mob chained him to a stump and piled brush about him. He smoked a cigarette while the flames were mounting and then began singing, which he continued until, he was strangled. with the smoke. ? The chamber of commerce of the United States on last Saturday opened a campaign against the proposed cash bonus for former service men. sending a statement of Its position to the president, the cabinet, members of congress and 1,400 trade and commercial organizations. While insistent on the physical and mental rehabilitation of disabled men, it said, the organization seriously doubted benefits which might come from cash pay. ments to physically capable veterans. The world war has laid a "mortgage" of approximately $1,135 on every family in the United States, the statement said, and the chamber could not subscribe to a program increasing this burden. I ?

YORK AND ROCK HILL I Practical Thrift? AN EMINENT WRITER on the practical, every day affairs of life says: "No man has reason to say he | cannot be thrifty, #annot protect himself and those who must look to him . for protection. It is my humble opln- . ion that the life insurance companies , have contributed more sound sense to < the system of saving- and the plan of ' procuring protection than all the banks J east and west of the banks of the Mississippi. Thrift, as taught by the insurance companies, preserves a fine upstanding independence in American j citizenship." i , The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., has been the leader in promoting and teaching thrift in the United States since 1845, and the man or woman who fails to investigate its standing, record for square dealing and policy contracts will make a serious mistake, and one that will cause regret later.
