Will Our Navy Be Total
Less When Bombing
Planes Arc Developed?
(Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
hies of naval aeronautics, in a se
cs of three interviews authorized by
secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby,
for the first time official./ presents
the navy’s side to Uie following ques
tions:
Have the hundreds of millions of
dollars spent in building our great
navy been a total loss?
Can a $15,000 bombing airplane
wreck a $15,000,000 dreadnaught?
What defense is the navy building up
against attack from the air? Do re
cent bombing tests prove the battle
ship obsolete? his is Interview No.
2.)
BY W. BRUCE MacNAMEE
WASHINGTON—"We must fight
fire with fire," said Admiral Moffett,
with emphasis.
"If aircraft are going to shower
bombs and poison gas on surface
ships and stab them with torpedoes,
we must endeavor to develop anti
aircraft artillery to a point where
bursting schrapnol, poisonous chemi
cals and gases, incendiary projectiles
may be thrown around aircraft oper
ating above ships, and we must reach
a height which will force aircraft to
such an altitude that accuracy in
bombing will be difficult.
"No single ship could he expected
to keep off a fleet of aircraft, but it
could bo hardly expected that an
enemy would send out a great force
of aircraft to chase a single ship, any
more titan he would send out a huge
fleet to attack a single transport.
"What will happen la that large
fleets will be attacked by large num
bers of nireraft nnd large fleets will
be protected by great numbers of
anti-aircraft defense artillery. Air
craft will .o forced, then, to pass
through successive barrages: first,
from outer screening ships, including
cruiser squadrons, and then destroyer
lenders and destroyers before they
can reach the battleship body of the
force at sea. Then they will be con
fronted by concentrated lire from
these ships. The efficacy of anti- i
aircraft must always come within the
range of the anti-aircraft fire to hit
their target.
Defenses Efficient
“It is quite true that along the
western front during the war aircraft
I urst through anti-aircraft fire with
very little damage to themselves, Hiut
in such concentrated defenses ns
those prevailing at Bruges. Ecehruggo,
Ostend and IJla, anti-aircraft de
fenses were so efficient that day
bombing had to he dispensed with
and our bombing activities were con
fined to night bombardment squad
rons.
"Not alone was tlie rudimentary
equipment of that day mitigated
against the damage done on these
fortified centres, hut darkness nnd the
inability of pilot to distinguish ob
jects at great distances below them
reduced the accuracy of their bomb
ing so that their net results were
practically reduced to the terrorizing
of local inhabitants and the workers
in the navy yard workshops.
"It would seem that night bom
bardments of fleets would be affect
. ed by the same conditions—tremen
dous anti-aircraft activities and the
limitations of vision during night
flying. How *ar w ® may he aide to
proceed with anti-aircraft artillery
and the final effectiveness which It
may attain is a matter of conjecture
and we are forced back on the main
fact—that the real answor to aircraft
attack is defensive aircraft.
"There Is one thing which we must
not forget," continued the admiral,
"and that is. if we ate to maintain
a huge merchant marine tho dream
of our people since we lost our su
premacy in sea-borne commerce, it
will he impossible for us to furnish
convoys for all of them and maintain
a huge fleet at sea.
Cost Prohibitive
"Tho cost will be prohibitive.

Therefore. In order to protect mer
chant ships in tho turn on the high
seas, we must provide them with
nireraft for defensive purposes, say
two or three pursuit planes on their
decks and anti-aircraft artillery of
exactly the same typo ns that carried
by navy vessels. It is the only logi
cal defense measure which can be
taken tor merchant ships generally.
"This hrlngS us to the thought that
our naval reserves must be strength
ened in that class which furnishes
us with an auxiliary reserve of avi
ators and aviation r chanlcs. What
ever measures are taken to rehabili
tate and re-organize the reserve force
there must be provided a large num
ber of aviators nnd aviation mechan
ics and facilities provided for their
training in order that the fliers may
not go stale and that the mechanics
may keep up with the developments
in equipment and engines."
In regard to the claims of tho poi
son gas enthusiasts, tho admiral
brought out the fact that gns attacks
on tho western front during the war
were minimized by the use of gas
masks. Men provided with gas
masks were Immune from its dan
gers. In tho same manner, he said,
ships at sea can be provided with ap
paratus at all their air intakes so
that gases would be passed through
chemical solutions nnd the ship’s air
intakes would become in effect huge
gas masks, Mon in the fighting tops
nnd certain men about the decks in
tho navigating detail or manning an
ti-aircraft guns would be subjected
to a deluge of gas is hostile aircraft
were” permitted to get in striking po
sition overhead. These men, of course,
would be provided with gas masks,
nnd it is not too much to suppose, he
snid, that many of them would sur
vive even a concentrated blast of gas
Lord Mayor of London
Rules Richest Square Mile
LONDON.—At his inauguration
banquet In 1842 Sir John Flrle, Lon
don's Lord Mayor, said:
"I little thought, forty years ago,
when I came to London a poor lad
front the hanks of the Tweed that
I should ever arrive at so great a
distinction.”

ferred upon the chief magistrate com

self can not enter his domain with
out first asking permission, and His

Church Congress Is Urged to
Revise Marriage Form
BIRMINGHAM, Eng. Following
Lord Dawson’s sensational speech, In
which he sold that tho attitude of the
marriage service toward sexual love
Is in striking conflict with tho prac
tice of life throughout the ages, Dr.
R. J. Campbell urged before the
Church Congress tho need for a re
vision of the marriage service.
In will be recalled that Lord Daw
son suggested that there should be
added to th" causes of marriage In the
Prayer Book ’’the complete realisation
of the love of this man and this wo
man one for another." The Lambeth
conference, he said, "envisaged a love
Invertebrate and .Joyless," and his dic
tum was: “Natural passion In wedlock
is not a thing to be ashamed of or
unduly repressed.”
Dr. Campbell submitted that there
aiis no real reason why there should
not be a thoroughjy revised Prayer
Book.
‘ The marriage service, for ex
ample," he said, "Contains express'ons
and things which are offensive to
modern delicacy of feeling. These
should he removed."
THE CHIEF TOPIC
Lord Dawson’s paper was the pre
vailing topic of discussion at the
Church Congress. He has received
Influential support, mingled wtlh the
criticism, of his advocacy of a
broader consideration than the Lam
beth Conference "attitude of repug
nance to artificial birth control.”
"It seems to me," said Canon Hop
ton, An hdeacon of Birmingham, "Unit
Lord Dawson’s speech opens up an
entirely new point of view on an ex
tremely difficult question— a point of
view which must receive the earnest
and eareful consideration of church
men.''
Bishop Wclldon, the Dean of Dur
ham, said: "I nm not one of those
■who would suggest that the total oh-
J'-et of marriage Is the propagation
of children, but no theory or Ides
must be allowed to override the
great responsibility of matrimony,
which Is parenthood. In the physical
enjoyment of the state of marriage,
people must not forget their respon
sibilities.”
Meanwhile Dr. Campbell provided
a shock for the orthodox by his
frontal attack on the Inadequa'ky of
from an exploding gas bomb.
Shipping Sunk By Submarines
"In the case of submarines It
should I e remembered that they had
developed far and beyond any defense
against, them, resulting In over 13,000,
UOO tons of merchant shipping being
sunk and about 1,000,000 tons of war
ships. all due to submarines.
"Then defense against submarines
was developed, so that In tho Sum
mer of 1918 an answer had been found
to their activities. it is not un
reasonhale to suppose that a like coll
ection in the next war will obtain
in respect to aircraft, if defense
against aircraft It not made paral
lel to their offensive development
,Consequently, while we tiro concen
trating on the offensive technical
use of such weapons, we must at
the san e time, for our own protec
tion, Increase anti-aircraft defensive
methods in the same ratio.
Naval aviation suffered during the
War, both in the United States and
abroad, by reason of the fact that It
was empoleyed almost exclusively in
combating submarines. We had a
mere handful of naval aviators at the
time we entered the war, and the
same eon he sflld of the Allies, as the
major effort of the Allied nations had
boon along tho western front in ex
tending land aviation in an effort to
gain tho mastery of the air from
Germany nnd the Central Powers.
The place of rigid airships In naval
aviation, tho Admiral stated, Is In
long distance patrol. Their great
radius of action nnd carrying capa
city will permit them to fly for hun
dreds of miles in advance of a fleet
nnd also patrol remote areas practi
cally unreachable by surface craft
without the disruption of fleet organ
ization. Their development should
be continued as fast as funds can lie
made available, he declared, adding:
We now have helium in q anti
ties to take care of the Inflation
of any unmber of llghter-than-alr
ships that we can expect to build
for seme time to come. Officials
In the Bureaus of Mines are respon
sible for the statement that there Is
now in sight In the United States
slfficlent helium to keep In commis
si .. twenty ships such as tho Zll-2
for a period of fifty years."
or rs an emblem of his authority;
the Black Sword, used on fast days
and at the death of any member of
the royal family, and the Sword of
Justice, which Is placed before the
Lord Mayor's chair at the Central
Criminal Court.

to have been richer in good fare than

chronicler of the time each guest

wrath was aflame over the Reform

the Prayer Bonk. He thought that
the burlai service should be entirely
rewritten.
PAGAN NOTE
"It strikes an almost pagan note
of hopelessness ami gloom and con
tains nothing of hope for the he

Insufficient attention was |>ald to
sermons safd Dr. Campbell. "Th'
true preacher,” he added, "in one in
whom God speaks to man. We hav<
the pleasure In earthen vessels, but
all the same, It Is the Word of God,
or else we have no right to occupy a

If they come at all in any great num
bers.
"We do not train our preachers
properly. There Is no more crying
need In the church- to-day than for
preachers, as contrasted with mere
chatterers or deliverers of Inconse
quential addresses.”
The Bishop asked for a wider as
sortment of hymns, and tho use of
choruses. He recalled In un anec
dote of his days as vlear of Bethnal
Green how more men decided for
God during tho singing of “Where
Is My Wandering Beg’ To-night.?”

Only Anti-Military Men ~
Have Been Sent by France
to Armament Conference
By NABOTH HEDIN.
NEW YORK.—How French polities’
m ntiment has changed since the Peace
Conference is indicated by the fact
that none of the delegates to the
Washington conference, except Mar
shal Focli, had anything to do with
the framing of the Versailles Treaty.
Tho Marshal himself, though lie acted
as rlflef military expert, had nothing
to do with the shaping of the cardinal
political policies incorporated by the
treaty. On tho contrary, ho was rep
resented at the time ns dlsplensed
with some of the provlsluns.
And yet the very same Chamber of
Deputies that recent y gave such a
large majority to M. Briand ami his j
colleagues was not elected recently'
enough to reflect fully (he sentiments
of France on the subject of the "Con
ference to Limit Armaments," as some
satirists have already begun to dull
the Impeding arms parley.
The present French popular repre
sentatives, the "Six Uncrowned Kings
of France," were elected under the
Clemeneeau regime In the heyday of
military g ory. It was the Tiger's con.
f.'dentiat man, Georges Maude*., who
"managed" that election. The machin
ery was In his hands, ami that means
about the same thing in France that |
it does In the United States, The re
turn to power of Aristide Briand was
not provided for; far from it. II B is
not. a member of the "Bloc National."
that was then formed, comprising the
all-powerful majority of the Deputies.
On the contrary It was Amine Tnr
dlen, the »nnn who last vainly led the
late attack against Briand, who had
cause to hope for the mant e of t'lem
enceae, Including the leadership of the
"Bloc National "
M. Tardleu is an able and coming
man. It was no stuffed man of straw
that M. Briand hnd against him in the
oratorical tournament. I doubt wheth
er there Is ar, abler man. Intellectual,
ly, In French politics today, Ilian M
Tardleu. I hope I will not hurt his
feelings by calling him liy a Gorman
term: "Zunkunftsmann," or "Man of
l the future.” He Is young, gifted, well
1 educated, well connected, handsome,
; ambitious, practical minded and level
headed Even ns a school boy he al-
I ways 'ed his classes and carried <>ll
[ the most coveted prizes. For ten years
I previous to the war he was the ::For
| elgn Editor" of the ::Temps," the
[ leading and semi-official organ of
j Paris, writing almost daily tho first
I column editorial on the first page,
| dealing with foreign affairs. He Ims
; also written several authoritative
hooks on French foreign policy, not
ably at the time of the Morocco dis
pute with Germany.
TARDIEIt IN POLITICS.
Wlnle still nn editor of the Temps,
he was elected n Deputy of a district
near Paris. Ills elevation to the (list
political ranks came about In n dra
matic way It was early In 1917, when
Alexandre Rlbot was premier. One day
M. Tardleu wrote a signed article for
the first pnge of the "Petit Parlslen,”
a non-poiltlcu! daily with the largest
clrcn'atlnn of any paper In the world,
claimed to he about three mllllop a
day. In a summary, snappy way he
advised the Government to appoint a
single mnn ns commissioner In Ihe
United States, so as to prevent the
various purchasing agents from bid
ding against each other. As soon ns
M. Rlbot had read the article, he sent
for M Tardleu and said:
Later he was recalled and made the
head of the various agencies In France
dea’lng with the American forces
This led to appointment ns a Peace
f'ommlsisoner, and in power and abil
ity, as well as responsibility, he was
second only to Premier Glemenceau.
Now, of course, tie regards the United
States as his particular field, Just as
Rene Vlvianl does, and he knows very
well that a bright future awaits sny
French public mnn who can hind the
politics’ ties of France and the United
States more closely together. Russia
Is a broken reed, and tho relations
with England since the armistice have
been one squabh’e after another over
conflicting Interests. "Sam” Is the
uncle to cultivate herenffer.
That was why M Tardleu so bitter
ly opposed M Briand’s going. Logic
ally he should havo won out. But pub.
j lie sentiment has changed since the
e ectlon.
I M. Tardleu’s policies, evidently, do
M Tsrdleu’s policies, evidently, do
not accord with the present trend of
public opinion In Franco. Though the
stage was set, so to speak, In Ills fa
vor, M. Brian*! won out, two to one.
M. Tardleu Is n Nationalist; probably
ca ls himself a realist. Befora the war
no public writer did more active work
In warning his countrymen against
: Germany, keeping up the spirit of the
I "Revanche " Events, many will say,
proved him right. For the future ho
sees no other hope for France than to
keep the Watch on the Rhine, armed
to thfc teeth, unless Great Britain and
the United States will pledge them
selves to Intervene again.
Perhaps M Rrland’s avowed rollcy
does not differ greatly from this pro
gramme, hut the backgrounds, the
antecedents of the two men are dia
metrically opposed.
The connections of M Tardleu are
! r«l’ conservative, big Industries, big
mom y, traditions of pnwir and wealth.
CON OF CAFE KEEPER.
M. Brland Is a son of a Brittany
nf(keeper, brought tip In small cir
cumstances, Imbued with the spirit of
*cvolt. Much b« he may have chang
ed, lie inn never become the chosen
spokesman of th*- old order, or that
part of International finance which
profits by putting one nation satirist
another.
At heart, I believe M Brlsnd Is for
a reconciliation, International under
standing Hut on the other hand. If
the conference falls sml M Brlsnd Ims
to return empty handed M. Tardleu
's his loglesl successor. which means
armaments without limitation, al-

though M Tardieu believes in the
League of Nation, with the Big Pow
ers In contro’.
Politically M. Vlviani is even mora
radical than M. Briand. OfQcitihy he
belongs to a group of deputies known
as "Independent Socialists," which
means its members nre not affiliated
with the "Unified" or International
Party. Just before the war the "Inde
pendents," though f :w, exercised a
certain balance of powei In the radical
wing of the Chamber, and so it hap
pened that M. Vlviani, anything hut a
militarist, was premier when tho war
began. He continued in the office dur
ing the first year, and under M. Bri
and's administration was Minister of
Justice,
Upon tho accession of M. Clcmen
ccau he lost touch with the ruling
opinion, and though he did zealous
work in favor of the League of Na
tions he had little to do with the
actual terms of the Versailles Treaty.
Fonder than M Briand of magnificent
theories and ambitious schemes for a
new order of things, he is all the more
opposed to tho Clemeneeau plan for a
perpetuation of tho balance of power
as a preserver of peace. •
lie is more forward 'coking, mors
internationally minded than the cyn
ical Tiger. A comparatively young
man, he may be classed with M. Tar
dlon as a man of the future. Above
all things he is not content to leave
things ns they are. His previous vis
its to tiie United States, his work as
a contributor to the American press
(Tho Universal Service was the first
organization to serurc his collabora
tion during the Peace Conference)
make him particularly qua'lfled to act
as representative In Washington.
Albert Sarraut, the third civilian
member of tho French delegation was
during the early part of the war a
member of one of the radical groups
of the Chamber. His special qualifi
cation comes from having recently
been Governor of the French colony ofi
Indo-Chlna, which makes him famil
iar with Far East problems.
Thus we are confronted by the ap
parent paradox of seeing France, th*
I ending military power of the world.
represented by a decidedly nntl-mill
! tarlstlc delegation. The explanation.
Obviously, Is that Franco keeps a big
army only because she has to In self
defense. She is looking for a chance
to reduce. Will the conference help
her?
