Enemy Checked by Air Scouts.

An instance of how aeroplanes might
have been used, but were not, is fur
nished by the French operations in
Morocco. Here the conditions were prac-
tically the same that Italy had to deal
with in Tripoli and the French flying
corps was very anxious to have men and
machines on the ground. For some rea-
son there was great deal of prejudice
against this move the part of the
French war Office.
1t was long time before the French
army officers were allowed to have ma
chimes on the ground, but their opera
tions since then have shown the effect
iveness of Il well organized flying corps
in that desert country.
The tribesmen have almost the same
superstitious dread of an aeroplane as
their coIlea CUES in Algeria. They know
it is useless to attempt any ambuscades
OF surprise attacks while the air scouts
are guarding the advance OF a military
column. Several intended surprises have
there is one notable case on record in
movement of 1900 Turkish troops was
checsmated simply by information of its
movement being brought in by the air
scouts.
1t seems reasonably certain from these
practical experiences that if aeroplanes
are used during our Mexican operations
their value will consist largely in the
ability of the aviators to secure strategic
information rather than in their ability
to carry on such offensive operations as
bomb dropping.

Insanity From Alcoholism,

Persons suffering from alcoholism form
more than a quarter OF the army of in
sane OF Paris and the department of the
Seine and the number increases from
year to year, according to figures just
made public by the municipality. An
additional argument, based on official
statistics, is thus furnished Deputy Henri
Schmidt and others who have been lead

throughoC: France.
Out OF a total of 50. 72s admitted to the
asylums in the department mentioned
from 1897 to 1911 the number of mentally
deficient. victims of the drink habit, was
27,315. The figures also show that insan-

ity is increasing. The combination of al
cohol and strenuous life OF the cities is
among the reasons given for the growing
number of cases of hereditary insanity.

Hanlefs most sensational flight was
over the Adrianople line at a height of
10000 feet. His propeller suddenly flew
to pieces. He never knew whether it was
struck by a bullet or whether loose

touched it. With propeller revolving at

pebble upward that touches it is liable
to shatte' it.
In this case his propeller was gone and
he was ten miles away from the Balkan
