THE NEXT WAR

AERIAL POSSIBILITIES. (Australian and N.Z. Gable Association.) WASHINGTON, January 28. General Pershing, writing in the “Aeronautical Digest” magazine, declares that recent bombing experiments proved conclusively that aircraft bombs, which can be dropped with surprising accuracy, would sink any naval vessel designed or built at the present time. The air forces of the future will, he says, be most effective against an attacking fleet and hostile transports. He pointed out that the Army and Navy Departments were within the limits of their appropriations in concentrating on the development of the air forces, but the American Air Force must be one adequate to be concentrated within easy reach of any point threatened by an enemy, and superior to that which could accompany any battle fleet which would be likely to approach this point.

Therefore, he urged the encouragement of commercial developments in aircraft.
