To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In an article which appeared in your issue of November 8, under the title, What Ireland Is Doing for Kitchener's Army" the attitude of the Irish peo- pie toward the present war was entirely mlsrepresented. The article referred to seems to be from your special correspon- dent in Dublin. I would imagine from the tone of the letter that it is from the pen of F. x. Cullen or from some other in dividual equally unsuited to express the sentiment of Ireland It is no wonder that the press of this country should find it difficult to get the real facts from any country in Europe at the present mo- ment since in the words of Will Irwin. "at the present moment the journalism of Europe is a journalism of lies, "
 From what I read in the English and Anglo-Irish press during the first two months of the war 1 would have conclud- ed that Ireland had become violently loyal to England From what I observed in going about amongst the people in Ire land in city and country concluded that the new born loyalty was confined to

GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF ARMY AVATORS' HAZARDOUS LIFE Binder Writes of Perils of the Air-HOw Tactics Are Worked Out by
 Birdmen

Berlin, October 25.-(Correspondene of the Associated Press IA graphic description of the hazardous life of army aviators has been written by Heinrich Binder. one of the best known German aviators on artillery recon naisance. He writes:
 "At an average height of about 5000 feet our aviators circle in huge el- 1ipses between our batteries and the hostile position. The aeroplane vibrates The motor rattles and roars and huns and huns. This music soothes the nerves of the aviators. It is so loud in the quiet upper air that it drowns the thunder of even the heaviest ar tillery. With their field glasses, the flyers observe the hostile positions and note the effect of our artillery. Signs are given-fell to the right, fell to the left fell short and over shot mark but these signals are a secret.
 ''The French follow their well known tactics of changing their battery po- sitioDs continually. But the aviators return again and again, dashing along at over 50 miles an hour. and report the new positions.
 Murderous Flight
 Tt is murderous flight. As a hawk cir cling around chick before seizing it, the aviator circles around the artillery DO sltions of the enemy. heralding deatf and destruction. When he approaches the hostile position batteries spray theiI shrapnels upon him, and the infantry concentrates it's fire upon his aeroplane The aviator goes higher and higher til he can no longer see a man and the trenches appear as mere scratches on the ground A sharp red line marks where the French infantry lies. Their fine, rec trousers and bright colored caps betray their position.
 "rhe motor continues it's roar and clat ter. Suddenly a little French aeroplans emerges from a cloud. It Is smaller and lighter than our kind, of the type knowr as the Peasants Terror It makes ar average speed of 10 miles an hour, ant 1t is armed. Now there is chase, as oi one bird by another. They try to ap proach and then to elude each other Neither hears the shots fired by tn, other. The aviator can scarcely fee when bullet strikes his own machine.
 ''The two aerial combatants soar higher till one or the other disappears in a protecting cloud, that closes white ant moist around him. If the danger become. too threatening a gliding landing bring the aviators within their own lines. TheN must take care, however not to get into the line of fire of their own army, fol some of the big mortars throw their shells q mile or more into the air.

MENACE IN HIGH BUubINGs
Man Who Should Know DecIarsr I hat
city's Chief Peril Is in
Its Sk~yscrapers.

"Quit building 'skyscrapers,' " was
the advice given to the convention OF
the National Association of Building
Owners and Managers by Franklin N.
Wentworth of Boston.
Mr.. Wentworth, who Is secretary OF
the National Fire Protection assoc
ton, declared that excessively higA
buildings are becoming a menace to
the larger cities Of the country.
1T is said that the up and down
traffic on the elevators of New York
city is almost as great as the hori-
city has been very fortunate. No dis
aster more ho%rrifying could be ina
gined than that which would occur II
New York city should have an earth
quake; just enough of a shock to
break water mains and gas mains and
to snap electric leads. The loss Of
life would be appalling.
Imagine the panic that would occur
IL such a disaster came during the
rush hours when 100000 persons
would be in the subways or when pam
ic-stricken occupants of great build
ings were attempting to make their
way down to the ground.
THE skyscrapers have made the
subway a necessity. A great confla-
grafton, such as is possible in New
York, would bring the same disastrous
results as an earthquake and choke
the subways.
New York is beginning to realize
the menace and steps are being taken
to limit the height of buildings. Other
cities not limited in space as New
York is should set a limit on the
height Of buildings. 1t does not make
a city any greater to have / gh build
ings."
