the propeller implies the same principles of
flight; we know that the inventor of this DO
sltlon was Roland Garros, made prisoner by
the Germans before he had chance to dc:
stroy his machine.
On the Fokker the gun is also fixed: it is
set above the hood, a bit to the right, almost
IN front of the pilot. 1t can, however. fire
only In the circle described by the propeller.
On account of the fixed character Of the gun
the pilot has to swing the entire acroplane in
order to bring it to bear upon his opponent.
Hence come the difficulties of aiming already
mentioned The original idea of the system
OF hrlng through the propeller lies in the fact
that the mechanism of the rapid-fire gun is
automatically hindered during the passage of
the propeller in front of the barrel. This
barrel is placed directly behind the propeller.
Inc motor is attached to the gun by cam reg
uiated so as TO fire the gun with delay not
exceeding 1900 of a second AS soon as the
blade OF the propeller is not in the trajectory
OF the projectile the system is liberated
When the pilot wishes to fire he presses on a
very small lever, placed in the centre of the
double handle Of the directing lever, which
acts by means of device on the trigger
of the gun.
The German aeroplanes for two, like the
u. v; r., for instance, are provided with two
rapid-tre guns-one fixed, located on the up
per plane, the other movable. placed on the
framework, behind the Observers station.
Mounted on q revolving base, this gun has
wide range of fire. The guns in front and
rear are both operated by the observer. On
more recent type the front gun was placed
between the two supporting planes, the barrel
next to the motor and parallel to it. This is
fired by the pilot, who controls it with his
right hand
All the German aeroplanes arc armed with
one or two rapid-fre guns, Maxim, Lewis or
Parabelum some of them have three. These
weapons have been specially adapted for and
to aerial service Some, such as the Parallel
lum, are provided with belts Of cartridges
holding not less than thousand loads
Two Of the most serviceable French ma
chimes are the Newport and Spad biplanes.
The Spad biplane is. the fastest avion in the
French service. 1t travels at the rate of 1875
miles an hour. Another plane of the French
type is dreadnought carrying two machine
gunners and five machine guns.
The postgraduate course in the school of
instruction for French army aviators calls
for aerial acrobatics which few years ago
were used only for exhibition purposes.
Looping the-loop is one of the simplest

jumping at the other sometimes at
an angle Of 80 degrees. Under these
conditions the air pressure may be
30 great as to break off the planes
with snap.
The state Of the atmosphere plays
great part in these aerial battles.
Calm days, without the least wind,
when the sky is covered by largo
gray clouds, are very favorable for
surprise attacks. The clouds act as
a screen and allow the aviator to
hide himself until the very moment
which seems to him most opportune
to dart upon his surprised enemy.
The Germans seem to like method
which they introduced and which has
served them well on occasion. When
the clouds lie low, one of their aero
planes dashes around below tho
clouds, only two or three hundred
yards up. This machine acts as a
bait. 1t is usually slow machine, of
an old model, with little armament.
1t seems a relatively easy prey for
the enemy. AS soon as it is seen by
a French aeroplane it is pursued rap
idly, even far over the lines of the
enemy. But at the very moment
when the fight is about to begin un-
der conditions most favorable for our
pilot, unexpectedly three or four
German aeroplanes Of the latest
model and fully armed surround
him. Flying above the clouds, they

WASHINGTON. December l7.-Rules
to be followed by the public In it's
treatment OF army airplanes which may
be forced down by accident are con-
tanned in resolution adopted by the
aircraft board and made public to-
day
When machine comes down the
public is warned to keep away from
1t as soon as 1t is established that the
aviator Is uninjured and not to touch
it's controls or instruments.
Guards will be sent promptly from
nearby military camps or posts when
machine falls or makes a forced
landing. If no military guard Is avail
able, however, local police are re-
quested to protect the machine.
When a machine falls out of control
and Is wrecked. the authorities are
urged to see that no part Of the wreck
age is disturbed. except to the extent
necessary to free the aviator. This Is
to allow an examination to determine
tho cause of the accident and avoid
others.
Railroads are requested to ask all
employees to keep watch for aviators
landing in isolated regions and furnish
assistance. All trains or steamships
arc required 10 take on stranded avia-
tors and also to stop at whatever point
the aviator may desire to leave the
train or boat
