/ That the German right wing did not

| Paris last September Is said to be
/ largely due to the efficiency of the
/ German aircraft service. Every move
ment of the French and English cav
airy was reported, with the result that
General Won Kluck was always able to
anticipate developments.
/ But the value Of the aeroplane as a
scout had already been shown before
the outbreak of the war, or at least,
sound estimates had been made Of 1t.
! For this reason this type of aircraft,
like the captive balloon. is not an en-
tirely new thing in warfare. For a
! brand-new innovation In field intelli-
gence the German army Is responsible.
! This novelty is the so-called ''lausch-
/ erposten." term of which "Hstening
! outpost" Is the English equivalent.

natural cover near tho trenches of the
French or English. He had with him
| a small telephone instrument and a
reel OF light wire which he would pay
ont directly the load OF the wire that
was being rolled out behind him from
n reel in the foremost German
trench became too heavy to drag.
Very much like the Indian of the
American forest and plains he would
gain the cover that had been selected
! during the day and then would re-
mort whatever seemed OF value. To
understand the languages spoken i'm
the enemys trenches or outposts he
had to know both French and English
Thoroughly.
