J. LI. RIGBY, The Young Reliable,
ADMIRAL FISK HAS PLAN
TO RUIN GERMANY'S NAVY
New York, June 23.-A detailed
plan for the destruction of the Ger
man fleet in Kiel canal and Wilhel
shaven by a mighty squadron of tor
pedo planes and airplanes is outlined
in a letter Rear Admiral Fisk, V. S.
N., retired, made public today by the
Aero Club of America.
The board of governors of the club
endorsed the plans and suggestions of
Rear Admiral Fisk. 'It was stated
by the board that it "believed this
to be as among the .most definite and
promising solutions of the submarine
menace yet proposed." The program
will be laid before the Council of Na
tional Defense and military and naval
affairs committees of both braryjhes
of congress.
Rear Admiral Fisk's letter says in
part:
"The English torpedo planes which
sank four. Turkish ships in the Sea
of Marmora in August, 1915, were of
considerable size. The German tor
pedo planes which sunk the British
steamer Genoa off the coast of Eng
land May 1, 1917, were also of consid

Most Powerful.
"The torpedo plane embodies a
great concentration of power and mo
bility than does any other mechanism
For its cost. The torpedo plane is the
most powerful and mobile weapon
which exists at the present (lay.
"An attack by allied torpedo planes,
armed with guns to defend themselves
from fighting aeroplanes, would be a
powerful menace to the German fleet
and if made in sufficient numbers
would give the allies sdch unrestricted
command of the North Sea that Ger
man submarines would be prevented
from coming out from German ports
and the submarine menace abolished
and all chances of German success
wiped out.
"An inspection of the map of Eu
rope shows that in air raids over the
land the strategical advantage lies
with Germany because her most im
portant towns, like Berlin, are farther
inland than the most important towns
of the allies, in order to reach Berlin,
would have to fly over greater dis

Near Base.
"However, the strategical advan
tages lies with the allies, because their
control of the deep part of the North
Sea allows them to establish a tem
porary aeronautical base of mother
ships sufficiently close to the German
fleet to enable the British to launch
a torpedo plane attack from it on the
German fleets in Kiel and Wilhelm
shaven, while the Germans could not
possibly establish an aero base suffi
ciently close to the British fleet.
"This gives the allies the greatest
advantage in offensive. It would seem
possible provided a distinct effort is
made, for the allies to send a large
number of aero mother ships to a
point, say 50 miles west of Heligo
land, and for a large force of fighting
aeroplanes and torpedo planes to start
from this place about two hours be
fore dawn, reach Kiel bay and
Wilhelmshaven about lawn, attack the
German fleets there and sink the Ger..
man ships. The distance from Heli
goland to Keil is about 90 land miles

and to Wilmshaven about 45.
"Of course, the atack would be re
sisted by German aeroplanes and
fighting would be needed, but no war
up to the present time has been won
without fighting and in the present
case the allies, now that the United
States has joined them, could unques
tionably put an overwhelmingly large
number of aeroplanes in the field."

STORM SWEEPS WAYCROSS
One Death and Damage to Property
and Crops.
Waycross, June 25.-J. S. Craven
was killed and J. R. Hall was prob
ably fatally injured this evening when
a heavy wind and electrical storm
demolished a shed at the Atlantic
Coast Line shops here in which they
were working.
The storm was the worst of the
year. Fences and trees were blown
down, an unoccupied dwelling was
wrecked by lightning, many tele
phones were put out of commission,
and the heavy hail, which fell for
ten minutes, did much damage to
crops in this section.
