might have located the Japs and their
from the great loss which occurred in
the battle that followed. Perhaps. In
deed, an aeroplane might have turned
this war into Russian victory. Again.
when the Spanish fought the Moors
in Morocco an aeroplane sent out from
Mellia could undoubtedly have located
the Moors in their ambush in the
hills. Photographs Of these places
would certainly have prevented the
slaughter of the Spaniards which oc-
Cured SO many times. Spain was
compelled to depend upon Moorish
spies for her information and these
were far from reliable. On one oc-
casion the Moors dressed up a number
of dogs in white muslin in order to
draw the fire of the Spaniards. They
succeeded and then surrounded and
slaughtered whole company Of
Spanish soldiers. An aerOplane would
without question have prevented this.
During the war between Turkey and
Italy the air scouts "snoopins" about
located the enemy time and again. and
on several occasions prevented battles
from taking place in which thousands
of lives might have been sacrificed
Again. photography played its part in
the Balkan War, when magnificent
photograph of the Battle of Adrianople
was made by Bulgarian air scout
This picture was actually taken while
the battle was in progress. The scout
then flew back to the Bulgarian head
quarters and reported the strength of
the Turkish forces. In the end
Adranople fell and the Turks were
defeated and who can deny that the
information brought by the flying

victory.
Value OF Altitude Flying.

The Method of Making Photographs from
Aeroplanes and Balloons How These
Pictures May Change History.

- HE science of photography has
n kept pace with the progress of
the age. and new types of lens,
~ shutters and plates with rapid
emulsion have made it possible to
photog.a phi anything at any time ana
anywhere. Photography really plays
a very important part in illustrating
interesting current events for It is
used in so many ways instructive as
well as entertaining. In the early days
1t was merely the taking of poor
quality Of portraits. Then when the
C.v!! War came on and battlefield
photographs We're made the pictures
were regarded as wonders, and Won
ders they were when one thinks Of
the labor required to make them, for
the photoErap had to scnsitise both
his plates and paper. Then, too, he
required sunlight for printing and a
few rainy days played havoc with his
plans.
When aeroplanes came into fashion
there was much discussion as to
whether or not successful pictures
might be made during flights and
photographers Were eager to try this
out. Picture making from free bal
ioorr had been in a way successful.
but aeroplaning was different. The
popular camera used by newspaper
photographers is Of the rejecting type
and is totally unfit for aerla! photoE-
raphy owing to the fact that one must
