The German Aeroplanes

 Time after time we read ofe the German aeroplanes soaring over our line of battle and marking for the German guns where they must strike to be eff fective. Now 1t will be possible to write much of the management of the aerial department. It is no secret how great a part the intelligent adventuresomeness of Winston Churchill has played in quick enine this branch of our public service It is no secret that England and the all lies must set themselveD to wrest back from the Germans the lost control of the air.
 It is in the next two months. and in the air, that the fortunes of this great world battle in the west will be turned and decided. There is need for the grim. est resolution; there is need for tre- mendous efforts; but there is no reason at all for despair. In the air hovers the undecided issue of this war. Now let England take this opportunity of achiev- ing the crowning glory that war ever will yield, before she turns her mind to the thought and establishment of peace.
 Let us not leave 1t to the French and Russians to outdo us in this terrible safe island, we can build and launch aeroplanes, train our men and send them out.
 There will be seen in these coming months such heroism as never has been seen in the world before. Even the men in our submarine destreyers will envy these airmen who will 90 up to death or victory.
