OPERATIONS OF
NAVY AVIATORS
IN NORTH SEA
LONDON, March 1 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Thirty
nine attacks upon submarines were
made by the American naval air force
in the war, and ten of them were con
sidered in some manner successful,
says a summary of American naval avi
ation prepared at headquarters here.
When the United States entered the
war the navy boasted of only thirty
officers who knew anything about fly
ing. When the armistice was signed
the force was composed of 1,500 of
ficers and 15,000 men, according to the
report.
Trials and discouragements of the
United States naval air force in the
war are enumerated at some length
along with “occasional” triumpB. Va
rious causes are assigned for lack of
effectiveness, but many of the troubles
are said to have been overcome and
the service ready to execute what had
been expected of it when the armistice
intervened. The summary of actual
operations is interspersed with ac
counts of the lack of trained pilots
and the difficulty in training them.
shortage of machines, stories of the
receipt of machines from the United
States without propellors, without
magnetos, defective parts, and lastly,
of the failure of Italian machines for
night bombing, for which they were
intended. The United States had
turned for planes to Italy when ma
chines were not delivered from Amer
ica quickly enough.
One of the biggest plans of the serv
ice was the “northern bombing pro
ject,” calling for the co-operation of
Amemricans with the British in al
momst continuous bombing of subma
rine bases on the Belgian coast. A
great many hindrances arose, some of
them shown in the summary being:
Lack of machines, lack of material,
lack of properly trained personnel,
both pilots and enlisted men; neces
sity of complicated negotiations with
the Royal air force in the matter of
supplies of all sorts, and necessity of
ferrying Italian machines from Milan,
Italy, to the north of France. Neither
the night nor the day wings were op
erating efficiently at the time of the
armistice, in the opinion of those who
compiled the sum mar?.’''*
It was planned to have twelve
squadrons, six day and six night. This,
however, was reduced to eight when
it was found that the United States
army could not deliver the planes re
quired. American machines with Lib
erty motors were to be used for the
day work and a contract was made
with the Italian government to de
liver thirty 600-power airplanes for
night work. The Italian machines, it
is stated, proved wholly unfit for night
bombing work.
What is considered by the American
navy the most successful aviation op
eration resulted from the Killngholme
project. This was an agreement .by
which England was to furnish fifty
seaplanes and ijfty lighters and the
United States was to provide forty
seaplanes and thirty lighters by March
1, 1918, for offensive work in Helgo
land flight. The British were sun
ceasfully doing similar work from |
their station at Felixstowe. Approxi
mately 1,000 Americans were sent to
Killingholme to train and assist the
British while awaiting the arrival of
the American planes. By July 1, six
American planes were assembled and
the British turned over the station to
the Americans. It was necessary to
have British planes, however, “owing
to the faults of the first American
machines.” It is reported that the
American propellers were faulty, ra
diators leaked, and that it was July
20 before the first wholly American
patrol was undertaken.
Even under these handicaps, how
ever, the American pilots kept after
the submarines, and the Killingholme
station had several attacks accredited
to it. No case is recorded of where it
was known a submarine was sunk, but
even with this very efficient seaplane
patrol the Royal air force was given
credit for sinking only one submarine
during the four years and a half of
war. A verdict of “probably seriously
damaged” was accredited to American
pilots of Killingholme by the British
admiralty.
WANT AMNESTY
FOR CAPTAINS
OF HUN SUBS
BERLIN, March 1 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Demand
that the peace treaty contain a clause
granting amnesty to German subma
rine commanders for the outrages
committed in the ruthless suomarine
warfare, is voiced by the Allgemaine
Zeitung. The Berlin newspaper evi
dently expects that the allies will de
mand the surrender of all German sub
marine commanders, and endeavors
to present an argument to show why
these men should not be punished for
the crimes they committed on or un
der the seas. The paper also gives
warning that any attempt to hold
them responsible for their murders of
innocent persons might fan the flames
of an international hatred,
“These captains,” asserts the news
paper, “were not responsible for the
conduct of submarine warfare or for
carrying on the unrestricted under
seas campaign. They were acting
within the scope of their orders, and
the entente could not possibly hope
to defend the position that these men
were responsible when they simply
carried out in a professional way the ■
instructions they had received.
‘‘If the entente Is determined to
place the responsibility for the war
on certain persons and make them the
subject of criminal proceedings, an
international tribunal would be the
only competent court; and before this
we gladly await the verdict.
“England and other members of the
entente, however, will do very well to
carefully ponder whether this would
serve as a precedent which might be
followed after the conclusion of peace
to renew the flame of hatred. If this
is to be a peace of understanding and
reconciliation, the treaty to be con
cluded must contain the traditional
amnesty clause."
FINANCIAL ENDOWMENT
FOR MOTHERHOOD
LONDON, March 1 (by mail).—
“Financial endowment of motherhood”
has been definitely proposed by the
family endowment committee to the
national birth rate commission. This
calls for the provision by the state of
a regular weekly income to families
with children under 15 years of age.
Every mother would receive the equiv- ■
alent of $3.12 weekly until her young
est child reached the age of 15 years.
In addition, $1.25 a week would be
paid for the support of the first child
and $3.12 for subsequent children, un
til such children attained “school-leav
ing age.”
The total cost of the scheme is esti
mated at £240,000,000 yearly.
AMERICAN BANKERS IN
SCANDINAVIAN MARKET
COPENHAGEN, March 1 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).—
Representatives of many American
banking and commercial institutions
recently have arrived here because of
the growing interest in Copenhagen p
as the center of business between
Scandinavian countries and the United
States.
A number of important American
exporting companies are establishing
their chief European offices in Copen
hagen, and the greatest interest is
being taken by the press and people
in their enterprises.
“The free port of Copenhagen is of
the greatest interest to the United
States,” said E. B. Filsinger of St.
Lawrence county, New York, "not only
because it is important to the export
trade to Scandinavia, but because it
is going to be virtually the gateway to
Russia, Germany, Poland and other
countries. Copenhagen, I believe, will
be able to compete with Hamburg, if
indeed Hamburg will ever again be as
important as it was before the war.
We Americans want intimate connec
tion with the Scandinavian market,
and if we can conquer that market we
will be able to compete with any other
exporters.”
