A Swoop From the Sk y, and Misailo Is
Sent on Its W ay, D-opping From A ir
C ra ft at High Speed— N aval G uns of
Present Day Cannot Be Train ed on
Aeroplane W hen Going S w iftly .
Officials Aroused by C h arges Made by
Hour Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. un­
til recently iu command of the Urst di­
vision of the Atlantic fleet, uow ou
duty as aid for operations in the navy
department at Washington, has invent­
ed an apparatus which is believed to
make possible the tiring of submarine
torpedoes from aeroplanes. The device
can he fitted to any type of aeroplane.
Naval officer» who have seen the
model in the patent office in Washing­
ton are enthusiastic over the possibili­
ties o f the Fiske invention as u means
of defense.
The torpedo which the aeroplane at­
tachment is designed to discharge may
he of any of the standard types and
is curried in chocks ou the liottoiu or
lower frame o f tile aeroplane. A strap
connected with the aeroplane passes
below the torpedo, holding it. and is
then agaiu connected with the operat­
ing part o f the aeroplane proper. The
torpedo is belli rigidly in place. Its how
pointing In the same direction as the
airship. The projectile is released by
a lever apparatus operated by the foot
of the aviator, the torpedo falling hori­
zontally out o f tlie chocks into the wa­
ter anil then speeding on Its way to
the ship against which it is aimed.
The lobby is out o f business so far as
national legislation is coucerued. It
i has ceased lo embarrass the adminis­
tration. When the present luvestlgu
tiou cuds lobbying us u profession will
be classed with the dodo and other
things extinct
That is the view taken by President
Wilson. When he saw the newspapei
correspondents following the recent ex­
pose o f the lobby In Washington fos­
tered by the National Association of
Manufacturers, the president wore an
expression that was distinctly one of
pleasure at the revolutions. Ills Aral
remark indicated that he was greatly
pleased with the latest lobby develop­
ments. although he did not care to dis
cuss them in detail.
How Torpedo Is Directed.
In directing and delivering the at­
tack the naval aviator flies at a com­
paratively high altitude to a point
about 1.500 yards distant from the tar­
get. He then swoops downward at a
high rate of speed and us nearly ver-
ically as possible until within ten or
flfteen feet of the water, directing Ids
flight so that on reaching the desired
low elevation the bow o f the torpedo
hears on the target. The aviator then
throws his lever which starts the pro­
pelling mechanism in the torpedo, aft
er which the projectile drops into tin*
water and thereafter performs its
work.
The advantages of the Fiske inven­
tion are that the torpedo is held firm­
ly to the airship and practically be­
comes a part o f it. ao that the direct­
ing o f the aeroplane toward the tar­
get also directs the torpedo. It is sus­
pended in the position which it as­
sumes in the water—that is. horizontal
—and retains that position after being
released. The releasing device is un
der the control o f the aviator at all
times.
The advantage of approaching the
target at a relatively high elevation
and then rapidly descending to a lower
one before releasing tbe torpedo is.
supposing the target to be a battle­
ship. that It is practically impossible
with present day naval guns to hit an
object falling from a great height ow­
ing to the resulting change iu range
and the consequent elevation of the
guns.
A d v an tag e, of Invention.
The advantages obtained by proceed­
ing to within uliout 1.500 yards o f the
enemy ure that the chances o f the tor­
pedo getting home are increased and
the aeroplane is nble to carry torpe­
does of lighter than ordinary weight
since torpedoes designed for long
ranges ure much heavier than those
tired at shorter distances.
W lille the Fiske invention is attract­
ing the attention o f naval officers here
ami abroad, there comes news o f still
another wonderful invention, the ob­
ject of which is to protect wnr vessels
from torpedo attack. This invention
Is o f Gerrarn origin. It is nn •‘illumi­
nated shell" loaded with calcium cur-
hide. The shell is fired in the usual
way.
On striking the water the shell sinks
n few feet, and the water, entering the
shell through apertures, sets up chem­
ical action which generates gas. the
resulting buoyancy driving the shell
back to the surface, after which the
gas Is automatically ignited, shedding
nn equal light over a lurge area. The
light Is equal to 3.000 candle power
and will burn for nn hour. The object
of the Inventor is to surround a battle­
ship at night with these illuminated
shells, thus rendering practically Im­
possible the unobserved approach of
torpedo craft o f all types.

National Association of M anufactur*
ers— Lobby Out of B usiness In C a p i­
tol Is General Opinion.
D iscusses tile Expose.
The president made it very plain that
he is behind the move for a full and
complete inquiry into every phase of
the question.
He believes that the
charges of Judge I.ovett anil others that
an attempt has been made to hold up
Wall street's interests on behalf o f cer-
tain lawyers, that the National Assocla
tiou of Manufacturers crushed or made
congressman at the whim of its officials
and that subterranean methods have
been used in creating terrorism in na
tional legislative halls should all be
thoroughly Investigated. And the presl
dent himself Is the authority for the
statement that the public must know
the truth, no matter who may be be
smirched or what their political beliet
may be.
President Wilson briefly discussed
the Mulhall charges made recently
against the National Association of
Manufacturers, which have since had
wide circulation.
When Mr. Wilson made his first dec­
laration that “ a numerous and lnsldl
oils lobby" was operating In Wash­
ington he had no Idea that such
charges as made by Colonel Martin
Mulhall would bo brought out, but he
saiil he W'ns 111 favor o f investigating
all charges and had no doubt the sen
ate committee would have a free hand
The president told Ills callers the accu
nations In the Mulhall statement had
been called to Ills attention Just before
their publication
A Searching Investigation.
A searching investigation not only
by the senate lobby committee, but by
a select committee o f the house also,
promises to lie the first result o f the
charges made by Mulhall, who has
been the general field “ lobbyist” for
tlie National Association o f Manufac
Hirers.
