would be strange II We could not,
in one fell swoop, strike one. mighty
blow toward the final victory. and
maybe shatter at the same time, fr-
revocably and definitely, the already
wavering hopes of our bastard enemy.
We could do this even though the
Germans. as could scarcely be avoid
ed, knew full well of the prepara-
tons we were making"
C. G. Grey, editor of the Aero
plane" a lay expert whose technical
knowledge is greater than that OF
the Parliamentary dignitaries l have
quoted, agreed emphatically with what
they had said. "Our army is in
France" he declared, because it is
better to attack the enemy there
than 1t is to stop at home and let
him attack us here. We at home

munitions and supplying food for 1t.
We are attacked by German aero
planes because we have not enough

enemy from crossing the sea.

THE stoppage Of supplies from
these reachable centers alone would
so weaken and embarrass the German
army that its retreat to the Rhine
must quickly ensue; and after that,

perhaps even in six months. we should
be dropping bombs by the ton in Ger

be near at hand.
Sources of supply.
"In 1913 the Navy League plastered
London with a demand for 5000, 900
for aeroplanes. and we Who worked
that agitation were ridiculed for the
hugeness OF our demands. Today ]
could name dozen aircraft firms
each of which has orders in hand
for more than the million pounds
which four years ago was regarded as
impossible for our whole aeronautical
grant.
Our present demands. doubtless re-
garded as absurd by hidebound Of
ficals. are that we shall have an air
feet over land which will go over
the German army and will carry
war into the enemy's country. And
we demand an air fleet over the sea
that will make 1t impossible for a
German submarine to show its peris-
cope within a hundred miles of our
coasts-most torpedoing is done with
in the 100-mile limit, remember. Such
fleets are regarded as impracticable
today.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of
untspped sources of supply for more
and more aeroplanes in this country,
IL the making of minor parts is
farmed out to small firms. and II the
system of production is reorganized
and accelerated. Also there is a huge
output to be had from America, II

London. July 12.-About IL
o'clock last Saturday morning 1
stood on the Thames embankment
and looked upward at the most
wonderful sight that this vener-
able capital has ever beheld. The
whole sky seemed filled with almost
motionless black insects. as though
somebody in the upper regions had
let down a canopy Of dragon flies.
There was a continuous thudding
OF distant guns, varied by sharp
explosions from those nearer. and
the deeper rumble of the explod-
ing bombs, as much noise altogether
as during a sharp "strafe" on the
|, battle front in France.
II all seemed like a revelation Of a
new and more terrible warfare. The
German machines. whose black crosses
I could see plainly with my glasses,
scattered to escape the bursting black
balls Of schrapneL after coming like
a flock Of ducks in triangle formation.
but then they seemed to ignore the
puny efforts Of the little men on the
ground to harm them, as a proud
eagle soaring above a mountain top
would disdain a boy in the valley be-
low popping at him with a squirrel
gun.
Some Of my impressions were quite
false It is now known that the
raiders were Gotha planes, nearly
three times as large as the ordinary
aeroplane, 7S feet long and 10 wide,
and their enormous size fooled all lay
onlookers as to their height. thought
them not more than 1000 feet up, and
guesse5 OF 1000 and 5000 feet were
common. They never came lower
than 1900 feet, and most of the time
were three miles high, and travelling
at 20 to 80 miles an hour, though to
the surprised and indignant crowds De-
low they seemed almost standing
still
But one fact stands out clear as a
result Of this latest and biggest raid.
II twenty-five aeroplanes, each capa-
BILE Of carrying IA bombs can come to
London and get back to Belgium with
loss OF one-seventh OF their number,
there Is no reason why 22O planes and
later 200 cannot at some future time
repeat the journey. The bombs used
in the raids Of today on cities by the
Germans are comparatively harmless; /;
they are not intended for killing people
in streets, or for firing wooden
houses, but for work against defenses,
ammunition dumps. guns, where a
maximum exploding power in a lin
tied space is needed.
There are other bombs that can and
will be made; bombs scattering blaz-
ing pieces Of metal for hundreds of
yards, bombs whirling shrapnel that
will kill any living thing not under
cover for great distance from the
bursting point
AlrpIanes Are Needed.
Standing behind me was a woman,
perhaps a little hystericaL She looked
for some time at the SKI full OF enc
mics, whose apparently insolent de-
liberation so angered the crowds.
There were some British airmen up
by this time, but those she could not
distinguish from the German. She
exclaimed angrily: Where are all
those aeroplanes the Americans said
they were going to send over here?"
Everybody laughed, but the question
set me thinking. and this story is the
result.

Allies Must Use Airships
TOWN War From Germany

England has now been Informed by
cable that Washington proposes to
build 22,625 aeroplanes and send them
to Europe. Nothing since the regis
tration Of ten million Americans for
the army has SO impressed opinion in
London. Since the great raid last
week, have discussed the American
program. and the general air situa-
ton, with as many experts as possi-
Bile. None of them will permit their
names to be used in connection with
advice or criticism directed at the
United States. gather that the fol-
lowing two points are regarded by
them as Of greatest Importance:
1. America should not waste valu-
able time by experimenting with her
own designs and her own engines, but
should accept the patterns adopted
after three years experience by Brit
ish and French makers, and set her
plants going at full speed, standard
izing her construction.
2. The training of pilots should take
place under British and French tut
ton.
1t is recognized that American in
ventive genius will feel aggrieved IL
deprived. at the start, of the oppor-
tunisy Of trying to improve on what
has been done on this side. 1t is also
admitted that American inventors
could. and doubtless will. greatly in
crease In the future the scope of what
was originally an American invention
But the urgent need OF the moment
is haste. 'It Is better to have 10000
aeroplanes by next spring from Amer
lea no better than the best we have
now" said a member of the air board
than $500 better ones, or than 1000
aeroplanes far superior to any ever
turned out"
Lesson of Air Raids.
One great lesson taught by the re-
cent air raids is that academic de-
bate about the ethics of killing wom-
en- and children under the name of
''reprisals" must stop. The air situa-
ton has grown too serious. When
bombarding German communications
and German billets in the rear of the
lines French gunners know they often
kill civilians. but they cannot stop
shooting.
Hitherto 1t has been said that to
drop bombs on German towns will
not stop the Germans from raiding
British and French cities, and will
inflict a moral stigma on the Allied
arms. The experts now consider that
the time has come to put in a word
and they say. 1.-The question Of killing
Of women and children has nothing
to do with the matter. The Germans
began this form Of fighting. They
are forcing US to keep aeroplanes and
anti-aircraft guns at home. To make
an effective defense we must tie up
here many times as much fighting
material as they send on their raids.
We are now compelled, for strictly
military reasons. to force them to
keep many air squadrons in Germany
so that some OF them can reach any
one Of the hundred places that our
squadrons may choose to raid. and to
arm each of their hundreds Of vulner-
able points with guns.
Unless We do this, their raiding
policy will give the man enormous
military advantage. II we begin raid
ing ourselves. the advantage they
gain by tieing up our men, planes,
and guns in England will be counter
balanced by the men, planes and guns
we can make them tie up in Germany.

Gandil led the leaguc first sacllers

Other indians capable of playing
first are Ivan Howard, Marty Kaya-

likely to be retained for substitute
