PICKARD ONTKAKY to the opinion of Brig William Mitchell and those who support liis contentions, the bat tleship i;« still tiie backbone of naval defense and the airplane, while a very valuable arm, will always be-an aux iliary instrument of warfare against whose attacks the battleship can be made practically invulnerable. Such is the finding of tiie special board of the navy created by President Cool- idge to investigate the claims of those who asserted that aircraft could sweep navies from the seas. Tlds board, headed by Admiral Kherle, chief of naval operations, re ported last week. Its conclusions, summarized, are these: “The battleship is tiie element of ultimate force, in, the fleet, and all other elements are contributory to the fulfillment of its function us tiie final arbiter In sea warfare. The other ele ments have their important, and at times, indispensable functions. “Aviation has introduced a new and highly important factor in warfare, both on land and sea. It was utilized on an enormous scale and with great effectiveness In land operations during the World war, hut did not seriously influence sen operations. Its“ influence on naval warfare undoubtedly will in crease in the future, lint the prediction that it will assume paramount impor tance will not he realized. “The airplane (heavier than air) is limited in performance by physical laws. ‘‘The airship (lighter than air) has some valuable"characteristics, but due to great vulnerability, is of doubtful value in w ar. “Aircraft cannot operate from terri tory that Is not controlled l>y tiie mili tary or-naval fore** of their own coun try. "Airplanes cannot occupy territory. n«*r can they exercise control of tiie sea. ’ ‘‘Airplanes cannot reach distant overseas areas under their own power with any effective military load, and therefore,- cannot operate there offen sively or defensively'/until supplied with weapons and fneli t —“Tire lifitTtr'ytrip of tod,ay, while not- invttlnerahle to airplane attack, still possesses very efficient structural pro tectlon, as shown by the experiments on tiie Washington. The battleship of the future can be so designed as to distribution of her armor on decks and sides, and as to interior subdivi sion, that site will not be subject to fatal damage from the air. “The effect of plunging long range gun projectile hits on a ship’s deck litis now become closely analogous to tiie effect of hits by heavy aerial bombs. .“By armoring the battleship's deck w ith six or seven Inches of arrnor.we effectively meet any practicable at tack from the air ami also attack by gun projectiles tired at the greatest probable battle ranges. ”'“The Interior subdivision will resist any mining effect from aerial Iwunhs. It cannot he said, therefore, that air attack has rendered the battleship .ob solete. < , “The observation value of the air plane has been extended to assisting gunnery by observing and reporting Hie fall of shot relative to. the target. “Airplanes have dcmonstrafPd their great value to the fleet fn scouting, observatjon and bqThblng.

With this comes reiteration of the French governnA*nt’s position that evacuation of the whole or a piirt of tiie Rhineland would re move France's last tangible pledge for security against aggression without giving anything hut vague promises to replace it. C OINCIDHNT of tills repor with tiie publication eport came the story from Los Angeles of the performance of navy bombing squadron No. 2 under Lieutenant Commander J. Strong. From » height of 7,200 feet the bomb ers made 20 direct hits on a small sea target that was being towed at 15 miles an hour. Strong's comment was: ‘‘Brigadier General Mitchell was cor rect us to effectiveness of air bombard ment on war vessels. We have known it for a long time. Today we proved it.” He added the assertion that ^ his bombers were 1,200 feet above effec tive anti-aircraft gun range and said the test was made more difficult than expected because a hunk of clouds ne cessitated much preliminary maneuver ing to get a peek at the tiny target. T HK tragedy of Sand cave, t W; ASI1INGTON dispatches of the same date declared thut.l’resl- I dent Coolidge hud decided to disci pline General Mitchell for casting dis- I credit on his superiors In the War de- ] purtment and presumably would give him the choice of accepting removal from the office of assistant chief of the army air service and reduction to liis regular rank of colonel, or resigna tion from the service, Mitchell is quoted ns saying he would accejft the demotion and continue to work for a unified air Service. High officers of the army and navy appeared before the house committee on aircraft to tell it the nation’s actual situnHon as to defense by air, and While their testimony was not made public, it was learned that they showed that the country was utterly unpre pared to resist attack, so far as air craft it re concerned. Another interesting witness was Frank B. Gorin, secretary of tiie Chem ical Warfare association, who told the committee in polite language that Sec retary pf the Navy Wilbur did not In Ken tucky. reached its climax and con clusion when the miners sinking the shaft for tiie rescue of Floyd Collins got down to the unfortunate young man and found lie had been dead for several days. To,release his,body from the imprisoning boulder that fell on his foot January 30 would have been difficult, and dangerous to others, so It was decided to make the cave his tomb. Funeral services were held on top of the hill and the entrances to the cavern were filled up. Above the shaft will rise a rock cairn that will stand ns a memento of the unselfish and brave efforts of those who tolled for many days and- nights to extricate the trapped man.

Spartanburg.— What is considered to be the best price brought by munici pal bonds in the state in years jwas secured by the city of Spartanburg when it disposed of $1,350,000 of water works extension bonds to the Security Trust company of Spartanburg and four associate bond buyers for par dnd accrued interest and a premium of $1,- 998, the bonds to hear interest at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent.

Gorin laughed at Wil bur’s statement that It would require 5,000 planes and 3,700,000 pounds of mustard gas to attack a city the size of Washington. From 12 to 10 planes, ihe said, could demoralize a manufae-, turing center like Pittsburgh, and one ton of gas would cover a territory a mile square.

McCormick/—No clue has been found to the slayer of Collie Warren, Negro, who w r a9 mysteriously shot and killed a week ago in his home, the shot be ing fired through a window. There is a superstition here among his race that if the body of the corpse should be turned face down, the guilty person would he captured within nine days Accordingly, though Warren was buried as is the usual custom, rela tives and members of his race came to The sheriff several days since and asked permission to go into the grave and turn the body. Having been as sured that they would not he molested, they proceeded to open the grave and turned the corpse. Their belief is that the murderer can not keep his identity secret; that he will tell some one, so that he may be captured or will break into Jail if need be. So firm is their faith in this belief that they have re quested Sheriff M. R. LeRoy not to lock the outer doors of the jail in or der to avoid having the doors broken down by the criminal. •D ;! „ P RESIDENT COOLIDGE.
