Use OF AIRCRAFT
AS SCREEN Will
BE IMPORTANT.
AirshipS Must Prevent Enemy
From Learning Operations
of Fleet and Land Forces

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. 29.-The
use Of aircraft as screens TO deny a
zone of observation to other aircraft
in war time is development of the
conflict in Europe. Commander
Thomas Drayton Parker, U. s. ~, re-
tired, in a communication to the Navy
League of the United States calls at
tention to the tact.
The general Influence OF air craft
on naval; as we'll as land, strategy will
be this" says Commander Parker.
:. The cards will be on the table,
each admiral VIII know what the other
is doing; there will be no conceal
ment (except for deeply submerged
submarines) until air screening-th
is, the use of aircraft to deny zone
OF observation to other aircraft-has
been developed. When the attack on
Verdun began there were indications
CT such screening; the French avia-
tors, it is said, were denied a view
OF the gathering Teuton masses. At
sea, no doubt, a large fleet will be
surrounded by a curtain OF aircraft
to keep observers a hundred or more
miles away; bat until this condition
Is maintained scouting will be much
simplified, since, relatively to fast air
craft, a fleet is almost stationary
AS soon as scout cruisers carry sea-
planes tas they surely Will search
problems will be easy"

"The visitors were surprised to find

visitors were Japanese fishermen,
since the shelter was constructed from
bamboo and matched straw. Worn

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 29.-Ad-
miral Lord Beresford, the great Eng
lish naval strategist, is firmly OF the
opinion that had Germany taken adj
vantage Of the opportunity offered at
the beginning of the war, victory
would have been gained forthwith.
Admiral Beresford made this very
clear in letter to Col. r. NJ. Thomp-
son, president of the Navy League OF
the United States. Portions Of this
letter are as follows:
Il wish people had listened to me
before the war; think 1t might have
been averted; anyway, we escaped a
most appalling danger as, il the Ger
mans had attacked us first without a
declaration of war and sent what they
could have sent-140 cruisers and
armed merchant ships on to our I'M
protected trade routes, we would have
been brought to our knees in couple
of months; they could have put down
1000 ships in the first week, and If
we had had three times the number
of dreadnoughts it would have availed
us nothing In pointing this danger

UNCLESAM KEPT
BUSY Returning
BOYSFROM FRONT
INV Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, ID. Cor the many
unexpected duties the United States
has found thrust upon it by the world
war one of the strangest is that OF
rescuing adventurous boys who enlist
in the European armies.
There have been more than 1000
such cases since the war began, and
even now letters praying for the re-
lease Of young soldiers of fortune pour
into the state department at the rate
of so a day. II has been necessary to
assign an Official to give special atten-
ton to the subject.
The story almost always is the same.
The youngster, generally between 10
and 90, suddenly disappears and is
next heard'from when he writes home
from Canada or England that he has
enough of war and wants to come
home.
Then follows an almost tornado-like
correspondence in which officials, pa
rents, congressman and persons who
think they can hurry the processes OF
diplomacy, by their influence become
sympathetic, fearful, inportunate or
mandatory. The red tape of govern
mental business, however, unwinds
slowly and finally the consul general
in London or Ottawa, or somewhere
else or perhaps the American embassy
makes representations to the foreign
government and the adventurer is re-
leased and sent home.
Until recently the British govern
ment has been promptly releasing all
Americans under 81 on the request OF
the United States government on the
ground that il is illegal for such a
person to enlist in a foreign army
without the parents consent. Recent
" the British government has shown
a disposition to reduce the age limit
to Is when minors become of age in
q military sense.

RERESFORD SAYS GERMANY LOST
Rig OPPORTUNITY At OUTSET war

out for years have always told my
countrymen as ! have told you, that
an empire, like a man, can be killed
as easily by cutting an artery as by a
stab in the heart. have always
thought that the German emperor
could not have been in Berlin at the
moment the junkers had made every
thing ready for declaring war; II he
had been, he would have sent for Tir-
pitt and on telling Tirpitz that the
British neither would nor could fight,
Tirpitz would have replied: I have
got to think of what they may or may
not do. Do not go to war for another
three weeks; give me time to get all
our cruisers and armed merchantmen
On the trade routes; IL the British do
not fight we can order our vessels
home; if the British do fight, we have
got them
IF the Germans had carried out
that plan, they could have got into
Paris, compelled peace with France,
and then been in Petrograd in short
time, and become the dominant pow
er of Europe and the world possibly
