Capt YTrgtnlus Hi Clark, attached to fhe Urnal corp, aviation section, be lierea that if tha United State ! ever called upon to protect Ita coast line from the atack of a foreign ene my the hydro-aeroplane VlU play a moet important part. ' In The Coast Artillery Jonrnal, Captain Clark gives in detail what can be expected of efficiently manned and operated' hydro-aeroplanes. He believes that it is not only- possible, but highly probable, that In the near future hydro-aeroplanes wilt be de signed that will be able to ."get off." make extended flights daring which Implicit confidence may be placed 'in the motor, and land with opt damage in almoflt any weather in which the navigation of a destroyer Js practic able. ' ' "On a day of average atmospherlo transparency an observe!" in a ' ma chine flying at a height of 2,000 feet could make out a fleet of vessels at a distance of at least 50 HaUtical miles." he says. "In' case of an ex pected approach by hostile men-of-war or transports, three hydro-aeroplanes might effect a more complete reconnotssance of our North Atlantic coast waters by making, back " and forth, daily flights of three bourr duration, than would-be possible hi employing a score of the fastest de stroyers. - ' ,. ''f "The report would, at the - Terr least, give the coast artillery person nel at New York, Fort Monroe, Bos ton and Philadelphia if hours, and. at the other-fortified points within the tone eight hours in which to pre pare powder, fire trial shots, and even, possibly, move troops from the points not threatened to those: that appear to be in danger. In . the meantime, the enemy would be ut terly unaware of the presence of the air scout' It is impossible to see pr hear an aeroplane at distance of even 10 miles; " 4 V"-c 1 "In many of our harbors low fog banks, broken by many rifts, gad ex tending only a short - distance ' out from, the fortified - shore,' are ' very common. Should a. coast defense commander hare reason to expect an attempt to urt by from hostile Tes sels behind such a fog bank, the ser vice of a hydro -wlghfrprove inval uable. The flagship would be located by circling over the harbor entrance; the observer ' would make "a prepara tory signal and then the pilot should describe a series ot regular circles,' keeping his altitude -constant, and passing during the course of each circle Vertically over the target snip: The observer should cause puff, of smoke to be emitted, . when directly over the target" ' ' 1 MANY STRANGE NAMES FOR POLISH TRADES Military Tribup2,; WnS Pi Strangely Named.
