Thirteen Great Raids.

The consequences of this new devel-
opment in warfare from the air is that
since the middle of February there
have been thirteen great raids by
French planes, in which more than 500
planes have taken part. Not a day
goes by that there is not reported a
raid upon some communication point
or fortified place by the French fliers.
The French are unquestionably in COM
mand of the air on the western front.
The Germans may dare retaliation, but
they have not been successful. Now
and then a minor exploit in bombing
BY the Germans is reported but they
are small things as compared with the
French raids on Saarbruck and Vou-
ziers. and Stuttgart and Ludwigshafen
and Dillingen. to mention but a few
The net result of these great raids
has been to awaken the aviation ex-
perts of all nations to realization
that in the next great war the first
blow will inevitably be struck from
the air. Massac Buist. who writes in
the Morning Post of London, has re-
Gently declared that England must
hold command of the air when this
war is over Just as she hold command
Of the sea.
Must Control the Air.
The preservation of peace will de-
pend upon the rapidity with which We
can mobilize our great fleet" Mr.. Buist
says. He adds that for the protection
of the empire it will be necessary to
have aviation bases wherever the Brit
ish flag flies. AT no time will 1t be
possible for us to keep permanently
at any one quarter a sufficient air fleet
to make us invulnerable to attack
there"
