Some Proof of the Effectiveness Of
 Aircraft in Modern Warfare.

Aircraft in Modern Warfare.
 Paris-Aerial warfare is discussed in a section to itself in the detailed review of operations issued here to- day. Discussing the activities of this arm of the service, the Review says
 Aerial warfare: In spite of the extreme difficulty resulting from rail, wind and fog, our squadrons of aero planes and dirigibles have done excel lent work. One of the latter on the night of the 17th dropped 15 bombs upon the railroad station of Sarre- fburg, six upon that of Petit Eics, five shells and a thousand arrows upon a train in the railroad station of Sci ming The damage done was impor tant and was acknowledged by Ger man newspapers. On several occa- sions, the 18th, 20th, Fist and 22d, our aviators gave chase to some German machines and obliged them to des- cend. On the 18th one of our avia. tors shot and killed a German pilot whose machine crashed to earth. On another occasion near Arras an avia. tor was put 10 flight by 20 carbine shots. On another, one of our off cers was pursued by an "albatross" which succeeded in crossing our line. The GermaI's aeroplane was badly damaged by fusillade of shells. In spite of the state of the atmosphere some of our ayiators on the 18th sue fully dropped bombs and arrows upon the enemys trenches; upon a concen- traitor Of troops on the 18th and 2)th upon railroad stations and trains the goth and 22d upon a captive bolloon the 2lst; upon the port of Strass burg on the Rhine and the railroad depot of Dieuze the 22u5.

This squadron has effectively contributed toward the regulation of the fire of the battle ships and in surveying the sea for the enemys submarines

to concede from one to two hundred
points in 500 against such players as
