The Hanley Page Plane in Action

naissance machines, can not only blind the
enemy. but they can attack so vigorously
that they can prevent the enemy during
surprise attack from bringing up their
Ieinforcements TO counter attack; they
can also protect themselves by hindering
their opponents from bringing their anti
aircraft guns into position.
Such an important victory for the
British infantry can hardly be compared
with the significance Of the victory of
the small aerial branch of the service,
and it would seem to clinch the arguments
of such men as Mr.. Henry Woodhouse and
Rear Admiral Peary that the war, both
on land and sea. can and will be won by
the side that builds an enormous aerial
fleet.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-01

CCARCELY day goes by without
- seeing the heavier han-air ma
chimes put to some new uses. In
the recent battle of Messines aeroplanes
were employed in a new way. For long
time batteplanes, and especially scouting
machines, had dared to descend upon rail
road trains far back of the fighting lines
where the distribution of anti-aircraft
guns was not so numerous, and with
bombs they often succeeded in derailing
the trains. This was done successfully
on the Douai-Lile main line at Libercourt
during the Battle of the Somme last sum-
mer. Several batteplanes, protected by
the scouting machines located high in the
heavens, descended to within 500 feet of
the train and dropped halfdozen bombs,
derailing the engine and telescoping the
front cars, and as soon as the soldiers
escaped from the teescoped cars the bat
tleplanes opened fire on them with the
machine guns, killing great many. A
second train following the first was at
tackled in the same way and with the same
result.
This same principle of attack has now
been applied on larger scale in the Mes
sines battle. By reading between the lines
Of the official reports of that fight we note
that before the great mines were exploded
on the morning of the battle, and while il
was yet dark, large squadron, consisting
Of scouts. battleplanes and reconnaissance
machines, took their positions in the sky
just beyond the point where the British
barrage was to descend and on the Ger
man side of this curtain of fire.
When the dawn came and the mines
were exploded, the great twin-motored
battleplancs of the Hanley Page type.
mounted with machine guns, descended
upon the German troops which were being
hurried up to support their companions
who were between the British and their
barrage. The aeroplanes descended so
low that they shot the Germans to pieces
or caused them so much confusion that
they could not hasten to the support Of
their hard pressed comrades. This was

Bombing a Train
From La BaiOnnette

Aeroplanes have descended low enough
to bomb trains in motion. During the Bat
tie of the Somme, last summer. train
leaving Libercourt was attacked at ar
altitude of 800 feet near Ostricourt and
six bombs were dropped. The engine was
hit, became derailed, and two or three
front coaches telescoped. A second train
following the first, was also attacked, and
the two aviators fired 700 shots at the
two trains. Seven aeroplanes Immediate!
Joined in the attack and dropped tots
of fourteen heavy and thirty-four smaller
bombs. Many of the German soldiers were
killed and all the machines returned
safely.

gotten its existence and ceased TO speak of
IT, except in commentator or TO wonder why
( had been so long delayed. According to
United States Consul General Hslstead, the
results of the experiment, which began April
80 and finished September 30, proved most
beneficial to the health of the Nennese, due
to the extra sunlight in working hours. and
also did much to save expense for lighting.
1t is calculated that in Vienna alone the
people consumed l5sOOO,OOO cubic feet Of
gas less and saved $4,000. The City Of
Vienna required 100000 cubic feet of gas
less for street lighting
From Berlin comes the report that the
municipal gas works experienced decrease
during May and June, 1916. to $685. cubic
metres, notwithstanding the fact that $4,000
rev gas meters were put up during the first
six months of 1916 and the records from
January TO April showed an increase of "a
million cubic metres output Of gas as COM
pared with 1915.
Congress already has daylight saving be-
fore il i'm several bills introduced on the
subject. Possibly the CHIEF effect of local
action to change the time will be to create
an intelligent public demand for national
application of the idea.

the official publication Of the railway men
in England that the alteration Of the clock
has been followed by an Improvement in the
working of long distance night goods trains.
IL has bcca found that TIE extra hour Of

up and loaded in less time.
As a step in national economy it has proved

To Destroy the
German Harvest

EF THE British should attain the Ger
man mental and moral attitude of
doing anything to weaken the
enemy they probably would not hesitate
to follow the advice of Lord Calthorpe. as
stated in recent letter TO 1.-THE London
Morning Post" in which he advocated the
destruction Of the German harvests by
means of incendary bombs dropped from
aeroplanes. He points out that all food
crops have been taken over by the German
government, and that the course he advo-
Gates would thus not entail making war on
civilians. Says the editor of Flight.
Why We should trouble our heads about
the lives or property Of German civilians We
do not know? The Huns are sinking our food
ships without ruth or pity for the civilians
upon whom they are trying to impose the
stress Of starvation. Why, therefore. should
we concern ourselves about questions Of sim.
pie ethics?

one Of the main reasons why the Germans
were not able to deliver very strong coun-
ter attacks in this battle, and why the
british casualties were so very low.
This aerial attack. however, could only
have been possible because the anti-ar-
craft guns, which are usually located near
ammunition dumps, railroad depots, and
other important places, were put out Of
action or were at such widely separate
points that they could not be brought to
bear on the planes; or the confusion might
have been so great, due to the vast mines
exploded, that they did not get in very
effective work. All these things are quite
possible for anti-aircraft guns are not
usually located in great numbers on the
first line trenches, because of the danger
Of losing them in a local success or be-
cause the aeroplanes cannot do much dam
age with bombs on a line of soldiers hid
den under ground.
The greatest danger therefore to the
aeroplanes of the slower battleplane type
was from the fast scout machines with
their guns geared to the propeller shafts;
FOR, while the battleplanes can fly only at
from 80 TO 100 miles an hour, these scouts
make as high as 1870 miles in the same time.
Besides. the danger point of attack for the
aeroplanes was from the rear and above,
and they cannot defend themselves from
the rear due to the obstruction Of the rud-
der and tail fins. But the German scouts
did not destroy the British battleplanes,
because the atter's scouts were at
higher altitude and in such numbers that
they descended on the Germans the mo-
ment they appeared and drove them off
until the British infantry and the British
hattleplanes had won the battle.
But not only did these scouts keep the
German scouts from attacking the battle
planes; they also defended the reconnois-
sance machines which were signalling
the British batteries and the British Of
ficers the position and the disposition not
only Of the Germans but of their own
troops as well.
This aerial battle, however, has again
substantiated what many men Of magma
ton and aeronautlc knowledge have
pointed out long ago that large squadrons
of aeroplancs operating in three units,
such as battleplanes, scouts, and recon-
