MASTERY OF THE AIR

Germany has the most gigantic
and complete war machine the world
has ever known. It is in good run
ming order right now. The peril Of
the submarine is still acute. Time is
working against 1t, but successful
coping with the problems 1t presents
has yet to be worked out.
It seems that Americas one best
chance to throw deciding factor in
to the contest quickly lies in the
aeroplane. With an absolute mas
tery Of the air over the fighting lines
Of France. the death knell Of Prus-
sian militarism will have been rung.
There was never reasonable expec-
tation that -our flying squadrons
would at once enter upon war duties;
men have much to learn and prac-
lice hare and in the French avia-
ton fields, and our manufacturers
have had no experience with the sort
of machines the French and British
have developed in two and half
years of warfare. The difficulties
the manufacturers have to deal with
are Of more or less technical char
acter. not easily overcome. But 1t
is impossible to accept the statement
that we are unequal to the full task.
Precisely what is under way there
Is no sound reason perhaps for dis
closing. There can be no harm in
affirming, however, that we shall do
better than current reports from
Washington indicate.
Some 5000 young men are ready
for preliminary instruction in the art
of flying. Before very long there
will be groups OF them in France
undergoing training in the real bus
mess at hand.

This is the composite verdict OF

opinion is reflected in the desire OF
