AERIAL WARFARE OF FUTURE.

What use will be made of aeroplanes
during the wars Of the future?"
They will be sent with the fleet to
act as scouts in locating the enemy. II
would be practicable. also. to send them
out from cruisers on the same duty.
That they will ever be used as fighting
machines is very doubtful IL has been
suggested that they could drop explo-
sives on war vessels and forts. There
are some barbarities, however. that are
even prohibited in war. Besides. Ger
many has a gun that pumps lead into
the air as thick as rain, and an aeroplane
approaching a ship or a fort could be
shot 10 pieces before it got near enough
to work any damage"
