OFFICER
PAYS A TRIBUTE
KAISER AIR men
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.)

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch)
German military air service are paid
high tribute by French officer whose
letter dealing with them appeared in
the Gazette de Lausanne. A transla-
ton reads:
Our enemies have profted by the
war, taking its lessons to heart. They
maintain the best sort of field intelli-
gence service and their general info.-
nation department seems to be getting
the news from all parts of the world.
We did not think that the German fly
ers were so numerous. Whole swarms
of them locate and survey our posi-
tons, and when one of them is shot
down five others put in an appear
ance.
"The flyers on the reconnaissance
work throw red spheres to the ground.
At first our soldiers thought these
were bombs and promptly threw them
selves on the ground. But they waited
/ in vain for the explosion. Instead
| large clouds of smoke rose from the
ball, and a few minutes afterward
came a hail of shrapnel.
The German artillery, though in
ferior to ours, hits the mark. The'plan
to have aviators locate our positions
/ by means of the smoke-ball is a great
! idea. We are now familiar with the
little trick, but while it worked 1t was
I valuable.
