In the meantime 1t must be made
plain that the struggle for the su-

ing in which the United States can
take part. A superiority in numbers
of several hundred. thousand men on
the western front means little COM
paratively under modern conditions Of
fighting. All the men we can send
from now on are needed badly, but
we cannot send an army large enough
the first year TO become the deciding
factor, and we must strike In some
way at once. The air furnishes the
way. ..t~.-a..<
"A vast superiority in aircraft

out and kept out Of the air II means
that he has no facilities for sighting
his long range guns; 1t means that
he has no means Of getting charts
and photographs OF the opposing lines
nor Of preparing and meeting attacks

to complete destruction. In modern
