with tho lack of communications, Is
sorely aggravating the food und .supply

Meanwhile a Turkish column of un

ultimately down the Tigris to Itagdad.
The operations of the northern and
southern wings, however, are closely In

SINKS TURK TRANSPORT
U. S. Expert, Commenting on Feat, Urges Defence of
Coasts by Means of Aeroplanes
Carrying Projectiles.
Wasminuton, 1Vj!i. 21. A high official
of tho American navy has learned
through a private letter from a, friend In
Uuiopi) of the successful Utilization of
an aeroplane In torpedoing a Turkish
warship In Ihe Sea of Marmora.
This letter, a portion of which was
made public here to-day, conveys the
llrat Information which has reached tho
- -bat Is regarded
I slg.u.lcaut development In naval
as a
war
fare. The tmsnlblllty of the development
of an adequate number of toipedo carry
ing aeroplanes to defend the coasts of the
I'ulted Siatts Is now under consideration
b Navy Department experts.
The Incident refcrrtd to occurred
so mtii I months ugo. It Is described In
the naval oltlccr'e letter thus:
"A friend of mine, for some time a
guest on the IlrltlMi licet In the -ttgean.
told mo that a, llrltlsh hydroaeroplane
carrying a torpedo between pontoons.
Hew over the Halllpoll peninsula and
alighted In the Sea of Mamora heading
for a Turkish transiort. It released Its
torpedo and sank the transport."
.eT L'uast Protection.
A Navy Department expert says It
would bo practicable to turn out In six
months a sulllclent number of hydro-
aeroplanes to proti-ct the coasts of the
Liuteu Mali's. This is mo only instru-
Slates.
inent of naval defetxc whleli could bo
pnliiceil with sulllclent rapidity to meet
n. sudden Invatluii under prejent con
ditions. It Is said that Inasmuch .is the torpedo
itcrnpl.imt Is the newest Instrument of
naval warfare, no method has been dn
vls.il Tor meeting t attack. In tills
rispect the torpisln carrying aeroplane
differs from the submarine tut an arm of
linfeine. It 1 pointed out that the Itrit
ish navy apparently has sucvec.li d In
coping with die .lermaii submarine and
that the ettlc.iey of the submarine Iti
naval warfa-e ,s now open to more ser
ious question than It w.ih six fnnths
ago.

tide printed In Tun iivu August 27,
IMS. He said:
"The torpedo carrylnf flying machine
having started the weapon straight tiiton
Its course would signal from time to
time back to the directive base, order
ing the torpedo's rudder to be moved
to the right or left to compensate for
any shifting of the quarry. Hovering
In tills fashion over the dirigible mis
sile which It had launched this flying
machine could make sure that the
weapon would find Its mark, turning In
Its course If needful to bear down upon
Its pre j-.
Wireless to (.aide Torpedoes.
"Such a system would make It feas
ible to use at tho directive base very
powerful wireless apparatus, and this
at the relatively close range permissible
would be strong enough to resist any
effort on the part of the foe to 'Jam'
the Impulse by working Its own wire
less In order to prevent illegibility.
"We can go still further In this
matter of the marriage of aerial and
subaqueous warfare. There Is nothing
to prevent a dirigible airship being used
for tho carriage of several torpedoes
and tho necessary wireless directing
mechanisms. This ship of the air could
lj suitably convoyed by a squadron of
protecting aeroplanes and some of these
at least could carry short range auto
anoblle torpedoes, such as I had In roind
when applying for by 11)12 patent.
"As vet there no wav of b ock ng

selves with these facilities wo shall

The llrltlsh officials came In possession
of one of these letters which had been
sent to Mrs. V. Hanker Hilton of lit!
Last Hlxt -third street.
The letter read:
Madam t It Is understood that you
Intend to sail within the next few
days upon the steamship Hsp.igne for

fully awaro of the Intended submarine
policy which U to come, Into effect

Ignatius T. T. Lincoln, who Is de
clared now to be Hn Internatlomil spy
"iil.v In his own Imagination, spent yes
terday In strict cotillnement In May
inoiiil stieet Jail. He became so lonely
that n, eit word to Joseph A. Maker,
acting head of the local nftloo of the
special Investigators of the Department
of Justice, that In. had something Im
portant to tell him.
Hut l.lni'oln lenuilned In seclusion.
No Federal agent went near him. Mr.
Hiker himself win too busy delving
Into other pints or Lincoln's activities
during his freedom to bother with Lin
coln In prison. Kvery precaution bad
been taken to see that Lincoln .lid not
even read a newspaper or get any
letters.
An Investigation Is In progress which
may reveal Important things iiiiicernlnsj
Lincoln. Tiie agents are making u thor
ough examination of the saloon keeper
who gave Lincoln the lettir of Intro
duction as Linger to go to Herman
Itltiau. a fanner three miles from lied
Hank. N. J. What they liavn learned
they decllisd to say.
Charhs Fox. counsel to the llrltlsh
onsmaie. Kim yesterday that Lincoln

hn was. He asserted that the llrltlsh
ilovernment wanted Lincoln only for tlss
charge of forgery. Il pointed out ar-

UD0, regarding th" extradition of rer-
sons ar.-us.il of crime. This article
says :
"No person, by or either of the high
contracting parties, shall be triable or
be tried for any crlirsj or offence, com
milled prior to his extradition other
than tho olTcneo for which he was ur
rendered."
Mr. Fov will go Ufore the t'nltefi
States Supremo Oairt In Washington on
Friday ami ask that Lincoln's case be
put forw ird on the calendar for early

It Ms denied by tiie Federal authori
ties that Itlt7.au gave the Information
that led to Lincoln's arrest. It was ad
mitted, however, that Mich Important In-
I form ition had been obtained several
dais ago that Lincoln's arrest for three
days had been only a question of catch

Information eoncvrtillig Lincoln has.
been furnished by the woman running
the lodging house where Lincoln lived
for i lii- o days III Manhattan.
Lincoln's letters to his wife, written
from Itaymnnd street J.rl prior to his
Might, have been printed In an English
newspaper. In one of them, signed
