/"CONGRESS has now authorized a
project that has been long urged
by citizens of the North and the South
as a symbol of national unity, and by
artists and architects as well. It is
the Arlington Memorial bridge to link
the Lincoln Memorial on the north
shore of the Potomac with the Arling-
ton National cemetery and the old
home of Gen. Robert E. Lee on the
south side. The bridge Is to cost $14.
750.000 and Is to be the most beautiful
structure of the kind In the world. It
will be completed within the next six
years.
Even if cross, feverish, bilious, con-
stipated or full of cold, children love
the pleasant taste of “California Fig
Syrup.” A teaspoonful never fails to
clean the liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for genuine “Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup" which Ims directions

several days. To release hi^ body from
the Imprisoning boulder that fell on
his foot January 30 would have been
difficult, and dangerous to others, so It

TF THE senate has Its way, the sala-
*■ ries of members of both houses will
be raised from $7,500 a year to $10,000,
nnd those of cabinet members from
$12,000 to $15,000. This was provided
for by a senate amendment to the leg-
islative appropriation hill which was
%dopted without a record vote, despite
the warm opposition of Senator Willis
of Ohio and some others. It was con-
sidered likely the amendment would be |
approved in conference and
by the house.
X YrASHINGTON dispatches of the
VV same date declared that Presi-
dent Coolidge had decided to disci-
pline General Mitchell for casting dis-
credit on his superiors in the War de-
partment and presumably would give
him the choice of accepting removal
from the office of assistant chief of
the army air service and reduction to
his regular rank of colonel, or resigna-
tion from the service. Mitchell is
quoted as saying he would accept 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
situation 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 are concerned.
Another interesting witness was
Frank B. Gorin, secretary of the Chem-
ical Warfare association, who told the
committee in polite language that Sec-
retary of the Navy Wilbur did not
know what he was talking shout when
he minimized the possibilities of poison
gases in war. 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 t<^ 16 planes,
he said, could demoralize a manufac-
turing center like Pittsburgh, and one
ton of gas would cover a territory a
mile square.
Eleven planes from Selfridge field
have been carrying out winter maneu-
vers in Michigan that have taught the
aviators most valuable lessons espe-
cially in the quick handling of the
planes in extremely cold weather.

/COINCIDENT with the publication
of this report came the story from
Los Angeles of the performance of
navy bombing squadron No. 2 under
Lieutenant Conithander J. Strong.
From a height of T,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 as 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
ex'pected because a bank of clouds ne-
cessitated much preliminary maneuver-
ing to get a peek at the tiny target

By EDWARD W. PICKARD
/CONTRARY to the opinion of Brig.
* Gen. William Mitchell and those
who support his contentions, the bat-
tleship is still the backbone of naval
defense and the airplane, while a very
valuable ann, will always be an aux-
iliary instrument of warfare against
whose attacks the battleship can be
made practically invulnerable. Such
is the finding of the 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.
This board, headed by Admiral
Eberle, chief of naval operations, re-
ported last week. Its conclusions,
summarized, are these:
“The battleship is the element of
ultimate force in the fleet, and all
ether elements are contributory to the
fulfillment of its function as the 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 nnd with great
effectiveness in land operations during
the World war, but did not seriously
influence sea operations. Its influence
on naval warfare undoubtedly will in-
crease In the future, but the prediction
that it will assume paramount impor-
tance will not be realized.
“The airplane (heavier than air) is
limited in performance by physical
laws.
“The airship (lighter than air) has
some valuable characteristics, bnt due
to great vulnerability, is of doubtful
value in w’ar.
“Aircraft cannot operate from terri-
tory that is not controlled by the mili-
tary or naval forces of their own coun-
try.
“Airplanes cannot occupy territory,
nor can they exercise control of the
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 fuel.
“The battleship of today, while not
Invulnerable to airplane attack, still
possesses very efficient structural pro-
tection, as shown by the experiments
on the 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 she will not' be subject to
fatal damage from the air.
“The effect of plunging long range
gun projectile hits on a sliiits deck
has now become closely analogous to
the effect of hits by heavy aerial
bombs.
“By armoring the battleship’s deck
with six or seven inches of armor, we
effectively meet any practicable at-
tack from the air and also attack by
gun projectiles flrei^ at the greatest
probable battle ranges.
“The Interior subdivision will resist
any mining effect from aerial bombs.
It cannot be 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
the fall of shot relative to the target.
f “Alnffanes have demonstrated their
great value to the fleet in scouting,
observation and bombing. The use of
torpedo planes, gas n|d smoke screens
4s still In the process of development.
Airplane carriers are necessary ele-
ments of a properly constituted fleet
to carry airplanes to the scene of ac-
tion.” '
As to the plan of unifying navy and
army aviation In a separate depart-
BH*nt of the government, urged by Gen-
eral Mitchell end many others, thr
idge selected him from the field of
some 200 candidates after long and
careful consideration, for he feels that
the operations of the Department of
Agriculture will have much to do with '
the success of his administration, as I
well ns with the prosperity of the j
country. Doctor Jardine, who began !
his career ns a cow puncher In Mon-
tana. is a practical as well as n theo-
retical farmer and has a thorough
knowledge of farm marketing.

The board made recommendations 1
for a rather elaborate Immediate
building program to be completed in
three years at a cost of $Si),(MM),000 a
year. For this the President lias sub-
stituted this initial program costing
$30,0(10,000:
1. Modernization of three of
coal-burning battleships.
2. Continuation of the construction
of the two aircraft carriers.
3. Three million dollars for air-
planes for the carriers. (This Is In
addition to $1,000,000 for this purpose
included in the budget for 1926.)
4. Laying down and commencing the
construction of two 10,000-ton cruisers.
5. Commencing the construction of
gunboats for patrol service on the
Yangtze river.
