WILL THIS GUN

HOSTS or THE SIX !?

ative1y small forces of aeroplanes, has
the best disciplined force in all Europe.
She has about 10 aeroplanes, accord
ing to the last reports, but these are
in the hands of experts who know
every phase of their work.
X X
Italy has a fairly we'll trained aero
plane corps and few dirigibles Her
airmen received their training mostly
against the Turks and Moors along
the coast of Tripoi. and none of the
army officers is convinced that this
training was excessively valuable.
Russia has anywhere from 200 to 400
aeroplanes, most of which are ready
for service.
One interesting point Is that the Of
the belief that air battles must be
fought in the air-in other words, that
no conclusive combat can be held be-
tween airships and troops on the
earth. This was explained by one OF
the officers:
THE attack of artillery and infantry,
since the time when gunpowder en-
tered into European warfare, has been
built around the theory of trajectory.
The gunner has been trained to ele-
vate his sights so that he may counter
an entirely different style of shooting.
The gunner Is firing straight into the
air. Gravity no longer his aid, but his
enemy's aid-for the force which he
once used as an aid now draws his
bullet back. At the distance of one
mile an aircraft might consider itself
reasonably safe and could, at its leis-

the forward. propeller of his airship tore
the balloon bag into tatters Nothing
was left Of. the airShip,- or the dirigible
when they struck the earth but a mass
of tangled wires and charred wood. for
the dirigible had exploded. That one adj
venture was Homeric, but, army officers
say, it was not conclusive. The fact
that single Frenchman killed twenty
five Germans is to be conceded as an act
of bravery. But it does not indicate in
any way the respective merits of the
machines.
s. IT, .t 4s.5.
An official of the War Department
was talking about the secrecy thus far
preserved by. the European nations
Said he:
The experts of the United States
have been pondering over this ques-
tion since the aeroplane and the dirf-
gible came into modern warfare. We
Nave been making unceasing efforts 70
determine whether there is a mark ed
superiority in the dirig.ble over the
aeroplane, or vice versa"
But" the question was put to him,
''how can this be true if the United
states army has never yet spent money
for a dirigible?"-e
This government" he. replied, has
not yet bought a dirigible because there
were other branches of the service
which needed the money more. On
several occasions, in the estimates that
were made, the War Department has
urged the. purchase of dirigible. But
invariably this item was cut out before
the estimates left the department, for

Substitutes for Bread.

THERE are parts of the world where.
for various reasons, people do not
eat bread, but turn to- some service
able substitute. In certain parts of
Italy and Austria and in the agricul-
tural districts of Roumania baked
loaves of bread are never seen.
Not very far from Vienna at Ober-
steirmark, the staple food is "sterz," a
sort of porridge made of ground beech
nuts. At breakfast 1t is taken with
fresh or curdled milk. at dinner with
broth or fried lard and at supper with
milk. This dish is substituted for
bread in Carinthia and other parts of
the Tyrol
Polenta is the name of the bread SUBJ
stftute in northern Italy. This. too. is
a kind of porridge, and ii is made of
boiled grain. 1t is not, however. al
lowed to "granulate." like Scotch por-
ridge or the Austrian sterz, but is
boiled into a solid pudding. cut up and
distributed in portions by means of a
string. 1t Is eaten both hot and cold
and is In the broadest sense many an
Italians daily bread.
Mamaliga, the favorite food of the
poorer people of Roumania, is a varia-
tion of polenta. 1t resembles the latter
In that Ii Is made of boiled grain. but
II is unlike polenta by reason of the
fact that the grains are not permitted
to settle into a solid mass. but are kept
distinct as they are in oatmeal por-
ridge.

ure, drop bombs or fire guns upon its
opponents below.
Therefore the artillery and infantry
on earth are under handicap. Not
only this, but the fighters on earth are
under the additional handicap of a
surprise attack. They must be con-
stantly on their guard against an at
tack from the air-swift, sudden and
deadly-ended before they can get
their own troops into position.
Let me give you an example Of this.
An air scout will advance over the
enemy's. camp, take Photographic maps
and disappear. He will then return to
the aviation headquarters and report
the exact position of the enemy. AS
sumo that twenty-five airships are en-
camped. They will at once get under
way and head for their opponents, hav-
ing perfect knowledge of where they
may be found. At night the fires Of
the camp make perfect targets and
troops must have fires. From a dis
tance of 5000 yards the aeronauts can
drop bombs. and with their tremendous
speed can escape before anything like
an organized defense can be estab-
lished."
This brings another phase of the sit
uation which is deeply interesting to
the officers of the United States Avia-
tion Corps. Will the superior speed
of the aeroplane Offset the advantage
stay up in the air longer? On this
point the officers of the War Depart
ment are divided. One faction con-
tends that the stability of the dirigible
would enable it to fire accurately over
camp and depart while the troops, in
panic to escape the death dealing
blows from above, were rushing to

men will not make an attack upon the
camps Of the invaders?
What would be the result of the at
tack? Would the bombs from the aero
planes wipe out the Germans below
them, or would the dirigibles assail
the aeroplanes with their heavier guns
and drop them as a huntsman shoots
pheasant?"
The War Department is interested in
this question. Upon the events of this
great international war hang the fu-
ture reforms which the United States
will have. While the department does
not claim to have absolutely accurate
figures concerning the strength of the
different European powers 1t has, in a
their respective standings. France is
easily the leader in aeroplanes. She has,
according to the best authorities OBJ
tainable about 700 aeroplanes Of differ
ent types. She also has about fifteen
dirigible balloons in various. stages of
preservation. They are largely regard
ed as obsolete. however, for France
than-air type of craft is the only
one which can be used successfully.
Against this force Germany has about
twenty-five dirigibles and 400 aero
planes. The former are divided into
the rigid, semi rigid and non rigid type

German service, nine in the army and
three in the navy are of the rigid

looms which are owned privately, but
which can be requisitioned by the Ger

When the food supply is so essential

Although the country is SO largely

been some industrial development. This

Industrial development in the future will
be further halted by the debt that will
be piled up.
The Turkish war added materially to
the debt, although when 1t began the
Servian government had considerable
cash in its war chest which had been
accumulated for just that purpose. The

Real "Dogs of War"

GnOGS Of war Is a phrase which once
Ameat a thing as real as the war
horse Dogs have played their part in
battles and campaigns and in the old
wars between England and Scotland dogs
were used by both combatants for pur-
suing and killing fugitives- after a de-
feat It is related that Wallace and
Bruce each had close escapes from cap
ture by English bloodhounds. Bruce is
said to have thrown the English dog off
the scent by the now well known expe-
dent of wading up stream far enough
to battle his pursuers and Wallace evad-
ed the hounds by having recourse to a
trick more or less common in those
bloody times of killing a follower and
leaving the body in the dogs path for
them to come upon. The dogs finding a
body believed that their task was done
and discontinued the hunt.
In the history of the wars of the mid
die ages one finds reference to the use
pose of throwing the horses into confu-
sion and not alone for causing panic but
casualties, for these fierce canine parti-
sans were clothed In coats of mail stud
ed with spikes and having scythes fitted
to their harness.
Instances are recorded where war dogs
with fire brands fastened to their coats
of mail have been set on an enemy's
camp with destructive results. Henry
VIII must have found dogs useful In
military ways, because in English history
ii is written that he offered the use OF
10000. auxilfaries and 1000 war dogs to
King Charles v of Spain to aid that
monarch in his war with Francis ].
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth when
the Earl of Essex entered Ireland Tor
the purpose of suppressing insurrection
there his army was accompanied by one
hundred bloodhounds.
