"CAVALRY OF THE
CLOUDS" EULOCIZED
BY LLOYD GEORGE

London, Nov. 2S.-"The Chivalry of
the Army" was the title bestowed upon
the British air forces by Premier Lloyd
George in a tribute he paid to them in
recent speech in the House of Com
mons. The Premier was moving a vote
Of thanks to the British armies and
navy. OF the aviation service he said:
The heavens are their battlefields
they are the cavalry of the clouds.
High above the squalor and the mud
so high in the armament that they are
not visible from earth, they fight out
the eternal issues of right and wrong
Their struggles there by day and night
are like Niltonic conflict between the
winged hosts of light and darkness.
They fight the foe high up and they
fight him low down, they skim like
swallows along the ground, attacking
armed men in their trenches. They
scatter infantry on the march and de-
stroy conveys. Every flight is no.
nance, every record is an epic. They
are the knights of the war, without
fear and without reproach. They recall
the old legend of chvalry, not merely
by the power of their individual ex-
ploits, but by the nobility of their
spirit. and among the multitude of he
roes we must continuously thank the
chivalry of the army
