GERMAN AIRCRAFT SUPERIORIIO
THOSE OF ENGLAND and FRANCE

LONDON. March 31.-The superb
ority OF the English and French air.
craft, which was frequently asserted
in official statements from the en-
tente side last year, is less pro-
nounced this year, according to the
British correspondents at the front
This is due to the appearance OF sew
eral new types OF German machines,
chiefly modelled, 1t is said, on French
and British designs, and know as the
Albatros, Halberstadt, Ago, Roland,
and the new Fokker.
The majority OF them have fixed
cylinder engines, giving about 160 to
200 horse power. A few retain the
rotary engines with which the Ger
mans achieved some success in the
Fokker two years ago, but these ro-
tary engines are seldom of more than
$50 horse power
The new German machines have a
speed of about 120 miles an hour, but
their chief feature is their ability for
climbing. Ordinarily they frequent
the 400 foot levels, and they have
been observed on picket duty as high
as 10000 feet. The latest German or
der for airplane engines is said to
have specifications designs to give
their machines radius of action up to
at least 10000 feet
Meanwhile the British Air Service
is putting forth strenuous exertions
to keep ahead OF its rival Only in
| part is this a question of planes and
engines. 1t also involves the prob
lens OF more skilful pilots, and in
this direction of training the British
service has expanded extraordinarily.
After a class of military aviators
! have passed through their course OF
| training on the slower types of school
machines, those who show special ap-
titude are passed on to the scout
schools" where they are given a spe-
cial course in what is commonly
called "aerobatics." which envolves
the use of the highest speed ma
chimes and handling them acrobatic-
ally in the air. as is necessary in air
fighting. The instructors carry on
sham fights in the air with their pu-
pills. armed with cammeras instead of
guns.
Then there are the postgraduate
aerial gunnery schools. The most
expert pilot in the world is useless
as a fighting man If he does not thor.
oughly understand his machine gun,
for a perfect flyer with a jammed gun
is of little use against merely mo-
derate pilot who is a crack shot and
real gun master. A combination of
the two is the desideratum, as, for
| example, in the case of young pilot
recently mentioned in dispatches
whose engine stopped dead at height
| of $4,000 feet when he was being at
| tackled by two German aeroplanes
Despite this loss of motive power, fore
| ing him to descend constantly. he shot

all about that log, and that some one
lived there. That Is what he had tried
to tell Bobby Coon. He could hear Bobby
declaring:
1T won't move a step. not a single
step. You can stay right where you
are until 1 finish my nap. II you come
any nearer I'll
Peter did not hear the rest II. indeed.
Bobby had finished what he had started
to say. You see Bobby was interrupted
by a great rafting and rustling and a
grunt that sounded both angry and very
buSiness-like. Once more Bobby growled
and snarled and declared he wouldn t
move a step. but Peter noticed that Bob
by's voice seemed to come from nearer
the open end of the log than before.
Again there was a grunt and a rattling
and rustling.
Then out Of the end of the old log
backed Bobby Coon, still growing and
snarling and declaring he wouldn't move
a step. 1t was too funny for Peter to
hold in any longer. He had to laugh.
He couldn't help it. Then the black nose
and little dull eyes of Prickly Perky the
Porcupine appeared. In each OF those
little dull eyes there was just a wee
spark Of anger. which made them less dull
than usual. 1t was plain that Prickly
Porky was provoked.
As soon as he was outside he made the
thousand little spears which he carries
hitten in his coat stand on end and made
a quick little rush toward Bobby Coon.
Bobby turned tail and ran. The sight of
those sharp pointed little spears was too
much for him. He was afraid of them.
Everybody is afraid Of them. ever Big

brushing against the inside of the old
log that had made the rafting and

grunted Prickly Perky, rafting his thou

AS for Bobby Coon. he realized now
the great mistake he had made in not
first finding out whether any one wal at
home in that old log before trying 10
take a nap there. 1t mortified him 10
think he had been so careless as to make
such a mistake. and II mortified him still
more to know that Peter Rabbit had seen
all that had happened.

April Fool day. or All FOOLS day. as
the first day of April used TO be called,
is one of the festivals that has come
down to us from the middle ages. Orig
inally the idea was that on this day
every one, from the king down to his
lowliest subject. was privileged to play
the Jester, or fool; but in these prosaic
days, kings and kingdoms are giving
way to democracy the world over, and
the romance of royalty with its noble
courts, OF which the testers or fools
were a part. is gone from the earth, and
We have almost forgotten the Slgnlh-
canoe of this ancient festival OF the
fools.
However, children are wont to observe
April Fool day by playing jokes of all
kinds on others; in other words, they re-
gard this as the day on which they have
a perfect right to fool people, and
such time-honored jokes as placing salt
In the sugar bowl, making candy with
sawdust "inSides,' and various others,
are permissible on this day. So the idea
OF April Fool day has come to be that
1t is the day when We are supposed TO
play jokes on people and fool them.
Our topic applies this idea in a new
way for the development of another
Observation-Disclosures. on this day
we fool others-are We fooling our
selves, too? We take careful pains not
TO let some one else fool us: are we
watching lest we be- the victims of our
own folly? This applies to our charac-
tiers generally. and to our Christianity
particularly. We think we are Chris
. tians-are we "fooling" ourselves?
You can fool some of the people all
the time; you can fool all the people
some of the time, but you can't fool all
the people all the time said Lincoln;
and he mig well have added, you
can't fool God any of the time" But If
the highest Importance that you your
self are not fooled in your relationship
TO Him and dealings with Him.
II you are trying to fool yourself. you
are in the position of the lawyer who
exclaimed to his opponent: you are
making a fool of yourself" to which he
received the reply, The Lord saved you
that trouble"
How can we tell whether we are fool
ing ourselves? II believe my body is
sound and healthy, ! gan prove whether
] am correct by having a doctor make a
mind is sound and healthy, I can learn
whether IL is SO by having mental tests
applied, and having my mental develop
ment with that of a normal
person, and if / am satisfied hat my
soul is sound and healthy and normally
developed. an examination is the only
PROCESS by which / can determine
whether / am fooling myself in his
matter. We have no doctors of the sou
to make this examination for us, but
we are furnished the standard by
which We may ourselves measure the
health and strength and development,
OF our souls-and see whether we are
foolipg ourselves in regard to ouI
Christianity. That is the life
Of Christ-not the lives of others who

too late to warn them. is to appear not
to know Of 1t at all. So 1t wasn't nice
at all of Peter Rabbit to hang around
watching that old hollow log into which
Bobby Coon had crawled for a nap. You
see. Peter knew hat Bobby lar made
a mistake in going in there. Peter had
tried to warn Bobby. but Bobby was too
sleepy to heed what Peter said. Now
Peter was waiting for something to hap
pen.
Presently Peters long ears caught
sound from inside that hollow log. First

there was a rafting and rustling. Then
there was n series of grunts and squeaks.
These were followed by growlS and snarls.
The latter were from Bobby Coon. He
was insisting that he was going to stay
right where he was and wouldn't move
an inch for any one. Peter clapped one
hand over his mouth to keep from laugh
ing aloud when he heard that. and he
fastened his eyes, very big and with
expectation, on the opening in the end
of the hollow log. You see Peter knew
