ATTACK IN WEST
M'ARIII.VOTON', Deo. 8. (A.P.)
Th nnvy today drew nonp. thn gihI of
Uh testimony before tho army court
martial trylnK Colonel William Mitch
fill, as a rewult of hiti charxeH of 111'
competency In nianagomi'ut of avia
tion. Lieutenant Commander II. II. fOHt.
naval HtrateKlst expert, tetifled that
in IiIh opinion an air Invasion of the
l'nited StatoH by an Asiatic power Is
InipoHBlhle wltliout ue by it of Kim
ulnn and Canaillan territory.
"Kven with Russian and Canadian
assistance," ho said, "the invadlnK
Iiower would require a very superior
naval strength, at least three to one.
over that of the United States.
"We have no reason to become con
cerned over the possibility of an air
force attacking tho United States
ncross the Pacific."
Krost mild thnt the nlr InvadlnK
force would undoubtedly start from
KiisnmiMuura. about 40 miles from
Tokio, and proceed north ulonK the
line followed by the American round-the-world
fliers. The flight throuKh
the Aleutians, he testified, was not
imprnclical. but was extremely diffi
cult and uncertain. Long; non-stop
Jumps would be necessary over Ice,
mountains, and through dense fog
hanks, hut these could be ovolded if
Russian territory was available for
bases.
Froat recited at length tho troubles
and delays that the world fliers en
countered In the north Pacific and
recounted the international assistance
which, he said, was necessary to the
Hiiccess of the flight.
Scientific data and north Pacific
navigation and . weather data were
read Into the record to emphasize the
contention thnt no nlr Invasion of the
United States need be regarded ser
ious ns a menace at the present time.
Replying to Mitchell's charge that
"the way America will he reached
from Asia Is by way of Alaska," Frost
said: '
"I do not believe any nation could
seize Alaska under any conditions
whatsoever."
He agreed, however, that Russia
had seized It.

OF LOST CYCLOPS
NORFOLK. Va., Pec. (A.P.)
The naval collier Orion, caught In a
hurricane off the Virginia Capes
Wednesday night barely escaped a
disaster which may throw important
light on the loss of the ill-fated Cy
clops, a vessel of almost identical
type.
Wrenched by the tremendous seas
as she attempted to round Cape Henry
after leaving here Wednesday after
noon for M-elvllle. It. I., with II, BOO
tons of coal, the collier is believed to
have been saved from breaking In two
only by the swift decision of her
skipper to put back to port.
Kven though closer" bulkheads gave
the Orion slightly greater strength In
her longitudinal bracing than the Cy
clops, her frames amtdsblp are known
to have buckled and twisted In the
Htorm and nho was leaking badly to
day as she lay at a dock In the navy
yard hero.
The better longitudinal bnyhiff was
the only difference In the two ships
and the study which tho naval au
thorities will make of the storm's ef
fect on the Orion may throw consid
erable light on the fale of the Cyclops,
which has remained a sen mystery
since her disappearance In March,
1018.
Many marine authorities have held
to the opinion that the Cyclops which
was loaded with manganese, and car
ried f7 passengers , twenty officers
und m crew of 213, broke In two and
went down before she could even flash
a radio signal. The theory that she
might have fallen thn victim of a
German submarine was denied by the
German authorities. She was last re
ported at ItarhadocH In the British
West Indies where alio put In for
bunker coal.
