WASHINGTON, Nov. d9.--Where VIII
the great battles OF the war in the air
be foughtY What is the strategy Of
the great aerial campaign Of 1918
through which the allies hope TO hast
en- victory What part will Uncle Sans
Liberty planes play2
I'd 10 the present air fighting has
been on plane with guerrllla var
fare-a matter Of scouting mdlNidusl
combats and bombing raids. But win
the spring it passes into a new phase.
Then we shall see pitched aerial bat
ties and huge bombardments with
aerial bombs and torpedoes replacing
shells and shrapnel. Great Industrial
cities 200 miles from the western front
will be subjected TO "a bombardment
as destructive as II they lay within
range Of the allies great siege guns.
The allies have four great detectives
In their 1918 air warfare plans
M-To destroy or drive away from
the western front, the German air
scouts aud lighting planes thus blind
ing the eyes OF the German army ana
rendering their artillery ineffective
(2)-To destroy and prevent the re-
building Of, all railroad bridges across
the Rhine, thus forcing the Germans
TO retreat across the Rhine to protect
their lines Of communication and sup
plies.
(3)-To maintain a continuous bonn
bardment OF Essen and all the other
munitiol manufacturing centers OF
the Iron Country"
ll)-To lombard continuously the
submarine factories and dry docks Of
the great U-boat harbors, Bremen
Hamburg and Kiel, incidentally des
iroying the locks of the Kiel Canal anC
damaging Heligoland as much as pos
sible
II This means the air warfare OF mex
year Will be concentrated IN four grea
zones. which we may call the "Battl
Zone" the Bridge Zone the "Muni
tions Zone" and the "U-boat Zone
Fighting for aerial supremacy In tn
battle zone Is, Of course, going on TO-
day as II has been for three years, bu
It will not reach its full intensity un.
Oil next spring. Then the allies plan tc
have twice and, IL possible, three
times as many fast fighting planes In
this zone as the Germans and to make
the fghting so furious that no Ger
man aviator will dare to take the air
within 90 miles of the trenches
The United states will not be ex-
pected to furnish any Of the fast fight
ing planes for this part Of the CAM
palgn, our expert aviators being sup
piled with lighting planes by the
French and British Bombardment dur
ing this phase Of the campaign will be
concentrated on airplane sheds anC

BRITISH VIEWS AS
GERMANS SEE THEM.
The Brunswick Volksfreund prints
as absolute fact" the following as
tonishing farrago Of fiction.
"A few Of the more intelligent
among our English prisoners have
favored us with their opinions on the
outlook generally.
The English do not believe IN any
war after the war They do not take
their countrymen for such fools as to
allow their patriotic sentiments to
sway their purses and TO pay more for
goods when they can obtain them
more cheaply from Germany.
According to the views OF several
officers, the feeling is gaining ground
daily in England that the war is a
'shipwrecked enterprise which cannot
pay. The yoke OF a military and on
cial socialistlc system is pressing with
intolerable weight on the people. 50
that the moment the war ends a strong
individualistic reaction, If not an ao-
tual revolution, will be inevitable"

.The new gas restriction order is

THE MORTAL SIN

George Anderson, struggling
young author, is working desperate
ly on novel he expects to be a
masterpiece. It is called "The Mortal
Sin.,, The story deals with a wife's
sacrifice of her honor, in order to
help her invalid husband.
Anderson develops tuberculosis.
He goes West. He needs money. And
then his brain story becomes one in
real life. He returns to find his wife
in the home of wealthy man. In
the book which he wrote Anderson
had his hero forgive the wife.
But in his own life, he is over
come by, rage and jealousy. He kills
her. That, however, does not end the
play, which has a startling and pleas
ing climax. This is one of the most
powerful productions in which Miss
Dana ever has appeared.
This wonderful feature will be
shown at the Opera House tonight.

St. Mary Parish Makes
War Record
Furnishes More Men For
Army Than Were Asked
Says Official Order
from N. 0. States)

St. Mary parish in Louisiana was
held up by the War Department in
Washington Tuesday as the only sec
lion of the state which has furnished
more men for the army than were
asked. Webster parish was cited by
recruiting officers as the other ex-
treme.
In an official order to all second,
third and fourth class postmasters
in the state, the War Department in
cluded the following preface:
''The enclosed statement shows
the number of physically fit men
furnished by your parish and enlist
ed in the military service of the re-
gular United States army for the
period April l to May 20, 1917; also
the number to be furnished"
1t was pointed out that the parish
Of St. Mary is the only one which
has not only furnished its full quota
but surplus of sixteen men," The
notice stated that this did not nec-
esscarily signify the other parishes
were not patriotic, but that possibly
they had not been forcibly impress
ed with the vital need of men for
the army.
"The army needs men, the need is
urgent, and the need is now stated
the order. "The full quota for each
parish should be rendered not later
than the middle of June; there is
very little time left and you entire
effert should be devoted to getting
recruits"
New Orleans was about half way
in the list. 1t is asked to furnish
1000 men. There have been 493 ac-
cepted thus far and 507 still needed
before June Is.
One town, Sharp, La, has sent all
it's men to the army that are avail
able, according to the following let
ter from the postmistress, Miss
Amelia Sharp.
Sharp, La, May 26, 1917.
Thos. J. Lewis, Recruiting Officer.
New Orleans, La.
This is a little country Office and
all the boys who want to enlist al
ready have enlisted; there are -four
enlisted from our little settlement
so | can't get any more to enlist at
present.
