france Also Building One.
If the Germans got the start on the
world in this matter, as they have in
most things from the laboratory or
workshop, the allies are not far be-
hind. France is having built big
new armored plane which it is hoped
will be a better air warship than the
German creation. The English have
with great reluctance decided to i'm
prove upon the type of plane they have
used with such great success in this
war 1t is understood they will con-
tinue to place reliance upon their
sturdy biplane. each of which carries
machine gun. But they will so far
bow to progress as to build few big
planes by way of experiment.
1--WE had never fought in the air
BEFORE" said one aviator. I'VE were
at a new game. Now we find that the
underlying principles of war aviation
are precisely what they are in war on
the sea. The best plane must be like
the best battleship, and able to drive
the other ship out of the field.
So that aviation progress has become
a matter of arms and armor. The new
German plane is equipped with motors
ranging from 100 horsepower to ESQ.
It is slow as a wheelbarrow, but that
makes no difference at the moment.
Speed was relied upon at first as
protection against the marksmen on
the ground. 1t was thought that sharp
shooters would be able to bring planes
down as they might pigeons. 1t was
found that not in one case in fifty
is a plane touched by a bullet no mat
ter how many men are shooting at it.
The plane is protected by deceptive
angles and speeds. The gunner has
no background against which to reg
lister his hits and misses. The heavy
armor the new planes are to carry are

but they made up for their lack of
speed as compared with the others by
their extreme stability. They rambled
through the air like farmers buggies.
Shortly after hostilities opened the
English began to mount guns on their
machines That started the chain of
development that may end by the spec

fighting in the air. An unarmed plane

1--WE established our ascendancy in
the air." reported Gen. French before
the battle of Neuve Chapelle.
That ascendancy became lesson
which was not lost on any of the con-
tenders. Gen. French was able to con-
centrate upon an arc of 1000 yards
more than $50 guns of all calibers. No
such concentration of guns was ever
known before in the worlds history

Big Trouble Avoided

1t has been said that "every
one has troubles of his own.
This may be true, but, it is also
true that many of our troubles
could have been avoided. For in
stance, the DeFuniak Springs
Breeze is troubled about having
advertised for the Evergreen
Plant Co., and being unable to col
lect the bill. The Punta Gorda
Herald has trouble, because, it is
unable to get pay for advertising
for an automobile concern.
We have trouble, but, none such
as these. Standing at the head of
the editorial columns Of the News
and printed on our letter heads
are our prices for advertising,
subscription, and terms. The
terms read thus:
Advertising agencies and for
eign advertisers are required TO
lpay in advance and will be given
a discount Of rs per cent there

1t is our deliberate opinion that
a person who intends to pay, will
be glad to take advantage Of our
liberal offer.
When our terms are refused it
makes us like them all the more.
Try it, brethren, and you will
get rid of, at least one, big trouble.
