Even IL the German air-raiders
are sighted the second they cross
the coast line, there are only 90
minutes to mobilize British air
planes to repel the attack. This
would be enough II 1t we're GER
tain London would be the point OF
attack; but there are scores OF
other points besides London --mu-
milton plants, army and navy bar
racks, and industrial towns
within easy striking distance.
Odds Against Pursuers
Generally the German bombs
have done their deadly work be-
fore the British planes can locate
and engage them, and then II is
"a running fight with all the odds
against the pursuers.
Now look at the French map. IL
is only 40 minutes flight to
Paris; but SEQ how the condi-
tons differ.
The second a squadron of Ger
man planes take the air, they are
spotted by the French or British
filters. who can mobilize at any
point on the front an airplane
squadron of equal strength in less
time than Il takes to tell II.
Then the German planes must
cross the Franco British trenches
and run the gauntlet of anti-air-
craft guns.

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA. -
London and all England are at
the mercy OF periodic visitations
of frightfulness from German air
raiders.
Paris and France are practical
ly immune.
WHY?
Is it because British airmen
are inferior and French airmen
superior?
Is the kaiser venting his spleen
on the arch enemy" England,
and showing mercy to France?
Or has the kaiser some great
strategic plan.
No!
Geography Reason
Geography and geography
alone! Look at the map.
From the German airplane
bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend on
the Belgian coast 70 London Is
1870 miles, a little more than an
hours flight. From :he German
front to Paris is only Is miles.
BUT in the flight to London the
first 80 miles is over the water,
with little danger of attack and
no danger of detection except
wireless messages from patrol
boats and seaplanes.

FORD HIT HIM, CLAIM
Says Plaintiff Was Intoxicated And
Was Using Profane Language
In Presence OF Ladies'
Did His Duty, He Says

Denying that ne assaulted John ID.
Ford or struck him with club and
affirming that whatever he did was
in his line of duty as police officer
in preserving order and in subduing
Ford while arresting him, Albert Ais
dorf, suspended patrolman. has filed an
answer and cross-petition in common
pleas court to the suit brought against
him by Ford.
Alsdorf admits that he was po-
lice official on Feb. IL and alleges
that "in answer to a police call and
in the performance of his duty as
such officer, he arrested one John d.
Ford. plaintiff herein; and further
that said John D. Ford. the plaintiff
herein, was in an intoxicated condi-
tion and was using vile, vicious and
obscene and profane language in the
presence of ladies and further that
said plaintiff resisted arrest and as
saulted this defendant in vicious
manner"

action against him. He is represent

TORE FLAG FROM WINDOW;
WAS THOUGHT D|SLOYAL

iousness had probably been magnified
by over.e enthusiasm.
Mr. Serr admitted that under the
circumstances he had been indiscreet
in tearing the flag off of the window
without first consulting some author
ity on the matter and on suggestion
of Captain Blue, in order to leave no
doubt as to his loyalty, he placed
another flag over the door of his
store
The men who placed the flag on
the window were acting entirely be-
yond their powers and without the
support or sympathy of any recog-
nized authority. The incident re-
suited from a wrong conception of
what constitutes patriotism and the
only thing attained was to cast an
unpleasant reflection on an American
citizen who has had his naturaliza-
tion papers many years. A repetition
of such acts as caused ii should be
avoided and discouraged by all sober
minded citizens.
