The use on aircraft In the war has not
oeen greatly sensational, but II has been
sutlclent TO modlfy warfare TO an appre-
clable extent. Most or the aeroplanes or
tho belhgerent nations are not fighting
cfait, out the dlrigiDies or the Zeppelin
type belonging to the German war equip
mont are regarded as batteships OF tho
air, and terrible results have been ex-
pected when this formidable sky squadron
should get into action. Thus far, most OF
these military adjuncts have been used for
scouting purposes, and as such they have
proved 10 be especially effective. Tho
rapid advance Of the German forces into
France at the beginning Of hostilities was
made possible by these air scouts. which
served 20 point out the way with infalli-
bic accuracy. In the attack on Louvain
ana other Belgian cities German aircraft
rendered effective service by directing ar
ulIery hre by means OF searchhghts and
+ burning material dropped among the Bel
gan troops Ihnt inc zeppelin airship'
