WORLDS INTEREST IN
AER0PLANE WARFARE
Pictures Of Two Prominent Aircraft
Since Destroyed, at Savoy
Tonight


With the interest of all the ma
tons of the world centered on the
great conflict. raging in Europe the
prominent part played by the several
types of air craft in the struggle is
a matter of history.
Both France and Germany from
the very day of the first successful
heavier than air machine have bend
ed every effort to be first in the
conquest of the air. The French
turned more to the plane type with
the mono planes while the Teutons
lent their aid to the great cigar
shaped craft of their countryman
Count Zepplin, the dirigibles.
The latter type, huge gas bags
capable of carrying a score of men
and weapons We're thought by the
Germans to be almost invincible, but
the first of the craft TO encounter
the tiny monoplane of Roland G.
Garros, the great French airman, met
its fate when the pilot of the French
machine drove his Ble:oit through
the bag sending it and its load of
human freight to earth a crumpled
mass of broken strings and sticks
At the Arizona theatre tonight
there will be shown as an added
feature every type of flying craft
ever designed, from the great Yep
pin to the, tiny Demoiselle Roland
G. Gar'os the brave Frenchman will
be shown in several countries before
the breaking out of war, and the
great bag he sent to its destruction
will be seen flying over the harbor
of Kiel. ~
1t Will be the first peep at the
splendid array of flying craft used
by the two nations foremost in the
titanic struggle, and should prove
an added feature of interest.
