Battle of Planes.
With the beginning of the war he
pictures a huge fleet of dirigible bal
loons soaring high above the ocean
and, from nests on the tops of, these,
; tiny airplanes .are launched, 'locate
the enemy fleet and return with the
information. The chief air officer,
working in contact with the army
and navy, sends his air force against
the enemy.
' The American fighting planes
drive from the sky the enerrtv our-
; suit and combat plaiTfcs launched
from the decks of enemy battleships.
- 'Then comes the main attack by
cur air forces against the hostile
fleet." said General Mifchell. ' "The
battleplanes are in squadrons of
25 and four of these constitute an
attack ' group. Circling over the
enemy fleet they maintain a heavy
j6re, destroying personnel and anti-
trart equipment,

Senator BoTah also read from the

declaring that Dan R. Hanna of
Cleveland had undertaken to raise
$600,000 to nominate General Wood
and that 10 men had agreed td con
tribute $1()U,UU0 each to such a tund.
Reading from the article, Senator

donors were all men of great for
tune and financial importance, nam
ing among them Edward L. Doheny.

resumed, "whether Mr. Doheny is

Senator Sterling of South Dakotu
protested that the statements ot
Senator Borah "might give the im
pression that the electorate has
been corrupted."
"I do not make any such charge."
declared Senator Borah, "but there
is always a large class of people,
who can be bought and alwavs a
large class who can be influenced
by the use of money. Had it not
been. for the extra vaeance and un
conscionable use of money in South
Dakota, the result in that "state
would have been different.
Senator Moses referred to the
newspaper articles read by Senator
borah and said:
I do" not deny money i beine ex
pended in behalf of General Wood,
but not a dollar is beine exoended
illegitimately."
Senator Moses declared that in
