Three Zeppelins Accounted For.

Last week was singularly unlucky
for the German air fleet. Three Zeppelins
were lost in as many days: one off the
Norwegian coast, one off the coast of
Schleswig and third near Salonica. The
first was apparently wrecked in gale
while attempting to make a German port
after raiding the English and Scottish
coasts; the other two were destroyed by
gun fire. Mishaps of this sort are certain
to occur occasionally, and though it may
we'll be doubted whether the injury done
by Zeppelins in the last week is nearly suf-
ficient to compensate so grave loss, yet
upon the whole the airships have proved
less vulnerable than was expected.
That the Germans could not for long af-
ford to lose vessels at this rate is mani
fest. According to the most trustworthy
reports, the whole fleet of Zeppelins cannot
number much more than forty, and most
of these are required for patrol service In
conjunction with the navy. But it must be
remembered that a considerable number Of
raids on the coast of Britain have been
conducted with perfect impunity.
Though the series of disasters last week
may encourage the defenders, Il can hard
ly be hoped on the strength of evidence so
slender that the problem of defence has
been solved. So notable an authority as
Mr.. Manchester believes that so far
we have mot witnessed an attack by afr
craft on an important city on grand
scale, such as, without doubt, the future
has in store He was referring probably
to large fleets of airplanes rather than air
ships, for he holds that in a military sense
the Zeppelin is a failure. The important
point, however, is that no way has so far
been found to prevent an enemy from in
hicting enormous damage in attacks from
the air, provided he has instruments
enough at his disposal.
Few particulars have been published
about the attacks on the airships brought
down in the last few days. The Zeppelin
destroyed at Revigny about two months
ago was hit while flying at height of
/ 500 or 1000 metres Most of those that
have reached London appeared at
greater height, but, as NJ. Georges Prade
has pointed out, they probably arrive over
England at low altitude and at reduced
speed. This was the procedure in the
latest raid on Paris, when it was calculated
that the Zeppelin rose to height Of more
than 5000 metres on reaching the city.
The most hopeful way Of dealing with
the raiders is to attack them in their sheds,
or at least before they reach their destina-
ton. Many raids have undoubtedly been
aborted in this way, but the defenders so
far have rarely had the good fortune to
do much damage to the raiders.

What Has Been Done to Prepare?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The army and navy authorities are
quoted as having said that it will take at
least five years 10 place this country in an
adequate condition 10 defend itself from the
attack Of an invader
Two years will have elapsed this coming
August since the beginning of a worldwide
war.
How much has been done to safeguard the
nation by those in authority? How many
years will it take, at the present rate of
progress, to prepare for preparedness?

Honest Advertising.
lFrom ~ PhiIadsIphla Led0sr

From The Philadelphia Ledger
If farm will grow apples, the would-be
seller Of that farm may boost that fact
freely and without fracturing the law If,
however, he advertises that the farm will
also grow oranges when it will not and so
sells the land he commits fraud That is
the new and righteous opinion of the Uaited
States Supreme Court. 1t is a good time to
draw a sharp line between clean and unclean
advertisements, that is between advertise
ments which give legitimate publicity 10 a re-
liable commodity and advertisements which
brazenly endow articles with merits they
never possess To pretend through printers
ink that soap or an automobile or break
fast food or an overcoat or spring hat or
a bond OF a particular stock has all the vir-
tues and that like articles of rival firms lack
them is no better than selling green goods TO
country yokel. There is no more or better
excuse for a merchant to misrepresent the
goods upon his counters than for news
paper deliberately TO inject words in Presi-
Dental message which were not written there.
That is why the hand of every honest mer-
chant and every honest advertising agent as
well as every dent newspaper, should be
ready to smite the faker who fills his own
pockets by swindlng customers. This de-
cision OF the Supreme Court will make it far
easier in future TO strike down maker as
we'll as peder Of fraudulent advertising.

Sir: Knowing that you believe in sceu-

to make a correction of an article in to-day 8
issue headed "Throg's Neck Is Busting
Railway Yard Balks Van Nest Trolley Line.
The heading is absolutely correct, but we
are lighting for 100-foot viaduct to carry
Morris Park Avenue over the New Haven

your article says. If you will kindly print
this you will oblge the taxpayers who are
striving to get an adequate thoroughfare and

ago American men, women and children
were slain wilfully, wantonly, to serve a
German end, slain without regard to sex
or condition, slain in the broad daylight
by German naval officers and men whose
countrymen hailed the killing as the
supreme evidence of German courage,
manhood, Kutur.
But as we view the thing without pas
sion we must see it without illusion. If
the German idea prevails all that we be-
lieve in government, in humanity, in the
thing we call civilization, is doomed. If
Germany succeeds in this war then it is
not again time, as Pitt said after Auster-
litz, "to roll up the map of Europe" but
it is time to burn our ancient parchments
and dismiss our hard won faith. All that
there is in the German idea was expressed
in the Lusitania Massacre, it was ex-
pressed in the killing of women and chill
dren, innocent of all offence, entitled to
all protection as helpless, unoffending, as
the children of race not at war, at least
entitled to immunity which hitherto was
reckoned the right Of women and children,
neutral or beligerent
The war that is being fought in Europe
is war for civilization. The battle of
Great Britain, Of France, of Russia, is our
battle. If it is lost we are lost. If it is
lost we shall return to the standards and
the faiths of other centuries. The truth
of this is written for us in the Lusitania.
