THE BEE: OMAHA, FIJI DAY, NOVEMBEK 10, 1915. Nebraska GUARD AYIATORS TO FLYJATURDAY Nebraska Air Squadron to Come from Lincoln Equipped with New Bomb. FIRST L0NO.DISTANCE TEST (From a Ftaff Correspondent.) 1-tNCOI.N, Nov. .-( Special.) Tha hor rors of war wilt be brought home to the peopl of Nebraska when, on next Bun day morning:, every town between Un. r 'In and Omaha will be blown up ant the country between the two made a line of deoolatlon and deatti. when Captatn MeMlllcn and hts war aeroplane make a raid on the country between the two points. Of course, nobody Is going to get hurt and no town will really be blown t kingdom come, but that Is the way tha thing would be If Nebraska was infested with an army from Kansas bent upon getting even for the foot ball defeat last Saturday of Its much-loved university eleven. The trip will be made principally to te.t out a new bomb Invented by -aJor Arthur K. Hayeel, assistant adjutant general of the Nebraska Ouard. Major Ilaysel was formerly a druggist before lie took up the war game, and his knowl edge of chemicals has enabled him to In vent a tomb which can be carried and dropped from an aeroplane without dan ger to the driver of the machine. Avoid lap of Matrhra, Heretofore It was always necessary to light the fuses of the bombs with a match, which was a dangerous as well as diffi cult proceeding, dangerous because of the proximity of gasoline and difficult be cause of the wind. The bomb Invented by t?xr Ilaysel can be lighted without tho aid of a match and carries no danger to tho driver of the aeroplane. If the experiment la successful It Is probable that there will be a great demand for the Invention by the army aviation corps for experimental uses as well as for actual service, as the arrangement can be used lit the regular bombs for war purposes. According to the order Issued by Adju tant Oeneral Hall, unit No. 2 of the aero company of the Nebraska National Guard will leave the state fair grounds at Lin coln equipped with bomb, photographic apparatus, etc., about 10 o'clock In the morning.
