openly discussing military program which embraced
two main feaures-irst starving England into submits

Coming from men, this might be taken Lightly
Coming from a former ambassador whose record has
won him universal respect it commands attention And
there is much incidental evidence to corroborate it.
The anifnus of the German government against the
United States skilfully concealed
Everybody knows how German fleet tried to interfere
with Admiral Dewey at Manila until Dewey called the
German admraTs bluff By threatening war And the
British government has recently made public the fact

The peril mentioned by Mr. Gerard is not the reason
for our declaring war against Germany, is of

7 GERMAN AIR BOATS ARE NOT
MISSING-THEYRE LOST, SAYS
ENGLISH OFFICER.
BY William Philip Simms.
With the British Armies AfieId,
April 9. - British have inaugUrated
aerial warfare on a scale hitherto I'M
dreamed of, even in this greatest Of
wars.
German claims that British have
lost their air supremacy spUrTed a
certain English air general to reply
today.
eff the English losses appear high"
he explained, 1T is because the pres
ent fighting is of an Undreamed-Of
scale. The German boast of numer-
Gus planes dOwned is therefore easily
explained. We are fighting practic-
ally always above the enemy's cOun-
try; therefore a vast majority of all
our casualties are behind their lines.
while we frankly admit the num-
Der of our machines which are mis-
sing, the Germans say none of theirs
is missing. This is probably true.
For even if they lost two to our one,
none of theirs is missing They are
actually lost because they have
crashed down inside their own lines.
"As long as we are able to carry
the fight to the enemy, meanwhile
keeping him away from our lines,
none can tTuthfully say that we have
lost the supremacy Of the air"
