The certainty that any war air craft
that ventures within firing range of
a hostile force will be promptly
brought to earth is raising considera-
BILE doubt as to whether airships will
prove as great a factor as was pre-
dicted during the early stages of the
European war.
The aeroplane and the dirigible
balloon are proving useful in scout
ing and in making observations from
a safe distance. But the terrible swift
ness with which these vulnera bic
craft may be wiped out is limiting
their sphere of usefulness, at least
in offensive work.
Here are quotations from recent
news dispatches:
"A Zeppelin laden with explosive
shells was sent across the plateau to
attack the HerVe forts, but it flew
too low. and Belgian gunners, get
ting the range, were able to destroy
