AMERICAN BATTLESHIP’S FIRE. HOW JEAN BART WAS CRIPPLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 29. How the battleship Jean Bart was hit and crippled by an American battleship from a distance of 26 miles was told by Rear Admiral Hooper to the Radio Engineers' Institute. He said the first broadside directed by radio from an observation plane hit the Jean Bart’s deck but did not put the ship out of action. The observation plane suggested a slight change in the elevation, whereupon another salvo from the same wellnigh incredible distance struck the Jean Bart’s side at the waterline, smashing the hull beyond repair. The radio thus both directed and reported the destruction.
