"The magnificently abvious thing,
then, is to knock out Germany's eyes

idea would be something vastly larg-
er than a thrust. An inundation Of
aeroplanes would better express the
idea in its magnitude. Sweep the
Germans from the sky, blind the
Pussian cannons and the time would
be ripe to release an enormous flock
of flying fighters to raid and destroy
military camps, ammunition dep

kinds. The firing upon troops from
machine guns from aeroplanes is be-
coming commoner and more accu-

flying machines become frightful en-
