PROPHECY OF AVIAT0RS
Claude Grahame White and
Harry Harper Write a Book
on Aeronautic Warfare.

The "Aeroplane in War;" by Claude Ora
hame-White and Harry Harper, will not
sllay anxiety as TO Britain's future in the
air.
The development of aeroplanng, espe-
eially for war purposes, the best types Of
machines. the severe training OF airmen,
and the exacting duties required of them,
are all admirably described We are told
BY the authors how opposing squadrons
will meet in combat in the sky.
Armed aeroplanes will accompany each
accommodating machine when II is about TO
set out over the enemy's position. These
armed craft, or aerial cruisers, will most
likely circle around the scouting machine,
80 as to open fire upon any hostile aero
planes which approach.
lone prominent constructor suggests that
such fighting units should be fitted with
gun firing small explosive shell, some
thing like a pom-pom
Speaking of the aerial battles that are
certain TO precede the land actions OF the
future" the authors think that the fast
cruisers" which will carry machine guns
"a gun has already been fitted TO a BIZ
plane) will come into speedy conflict After
maneuvring for position, the opponents
will open fire.
After a preliminary exchange Of shots
the machines will sweep to closer range
and then one Of them, winged by we'll
directed fire, will be put out Of action and
will futter away earthward.
AN ability to climb rapidly, combined
with high speed will, indeed prove invalu-
able to the fighting aeroplane. If 1t can do

an antagonist and destroy It with we'll

AcITYs DESTRUCTION OVERNIGHT

The authors add the following words
grave enough in all conscience:
1T was only the other day, while dis
cussing the destructive capabilities Of mod
ern type aeroplanes. that a famous con-
sructor showed how'll a large feet of
machines were marshalled togetner-it
would be possible for an enemy 10 drop
couple OF hundred tons Of explosive matter
upon London, suddenly appearing from
across the channel by air, and as quickly
flying back again"
The experiment of dropping stream Of
dummy bombs at night on an encampment
Of dragons has actually been carried out
in Germany. The machines planed down
silently. and the bombs fell all about the
camp fires" Then the engines were started
before the dragons had recovered from
their surprise. and the machines vanished
in the darkness.
It is very evident that the nation that
is best equipped in the matter Of aero
planes will have a tremendous initial ad-
vantage-probably a winning advantage-in
war Let us see Great Britain's position
now as compared with other nations.
Take France. the pioneers OF the new
arm. After the historic Picardy mansu-
vres of 1910 the development of military
aeroplaning was pushed forward. Early in
the present year France had 800 pilots and
234 machines. At the end Of this year she
will probably have 400 machines, as we'll

At the end OF 1911 Germany had about

TO FIGHT LIKE BIRDS.

The late Captain Ferber prophesied that
aeroplanes would fight "in the same way
as all fights between birds have ever taken
place"
Speaking Of types of war aeroplanes, the
authors state that in addition TO cruisers
Il is suggested by many experts that
fighting aeroplane, carrying a heavier gun
or guns-a sort Of aerial Dreadnought, in
fact-should be constructed. The aim OF
such a machine would be 70 attack an
tagonists at Ions range.
AS one tries TO picture cloud of these
deadly birds Of prey, rising higher and
higher in the air, like furious hawks. one
thinks Of Tennysons prophetic lines:
Heard the heavens AL with shouting, and there
rain'd a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy naves graphing in the
central blue.
But there will be no "grappling" II the
eombatants can help II. Anything rather
than that!
With regard to an aeroplane attack on
the Thames Valley, between Hammersmith
and Gravesend. the authors quote "a mill
tary expert of high repute' as saying:
This whole fifty miles Of concentrated
essence of empire lies at the absolute mercy
Of an aerial machine, which could plant
dozen incendiary missiles in certain pre-
selected spots

ICEMAN SOUGHT BY COURT.
Short Weight Charge Against Al
bert Mavers to Be Cleared

Another sign that a battle is being
wagsd by the District officials against
Washington icemen who do not give
their customers full measure was evil
denced in the District branch OF the Po-
lice Court today, when case was called
in which the defendant had 500 collat-
eral deposited.
Albert Mavers of lo1+ 9th street south
west and Jelette w Sauer of Al New
Jersey avenue southeast had been ar
rested by Assistant Sealer of Weights
and Measures George A. Howe, charged
with selling eighty-five pounds of ice to
one CT their customers, when the Gus
toner paid for 1870 pounds. Mavers. the
driver OF the wagon. who did not answer
to his name when the collateral list
was called. would have lost $50 collateral
without further question. but Sauer, his
helper. declared that he. Sauer, was not
responsible for what weight given,
since he was not the driver.
Judge Pugh ordered writ of attach
ment issued for Mavers to appear in
court tomorrow morning to clear up the
der the existing laws if IA man can pay
his fine. The maximum fine is 500 for
each offcnse with not more than six
months In Jail II the defendant is unable
to pay the fine.
Officials of the District have declared
their intention OF making ice dealers
give full measure and several cases have
been called in the Police Court.
