BRITISH kiRMEN WING 55 GERMAN
 AER0S IN 3 DAYS
Daring of British Exceeds Anything Known in
 Aerial Warfare.

British Headquarters in France, May 4.-The British. airmen, taking advantage of the good weather, are continuing their offensive aloft day and night. Within three days they have accounted for 55 enemy ma chimes and have carried out many en- terprises behind the German lines The German soldiers plainly dislike the continuous presence of the Brit ish aeroplanes, for many unposted letters captured during the infantry attacks dwell on the uneasiness that the machines cause. One man wrote:
 ''The air activity is very great. The English vii soon be taking the very caps off our heads"
 The daring of the British aviators in flying so low in the enemy country is one of the striking. phases of the air tactics. During recent night raid the British swooped down on their dimly outlined target and drop ped their bombs, barely escaping from the upward blast of the resulting ex- plosions. During this raid the Ger mans defending their supply depots brought into play a powerful search light, whereupon a Britisher prompt lyNdropped a lightweight bomb direct ly over it, and the lamp went out.
 The British raiders go lover the line" to upset enemy trains. blow up ammunition stores. rout sleeping sol- diers out of their billets, throw trans port columns into endless confusion and scatter general demoralization from Athe skies for hours at time.
 Some of the best fighting the Brit ish have had recently has been with a flock of brilliant scarlet German machines. At first there were four of these and all were handled with con- summate skill, indicating that some of the best German pilots had been gath cred in this particular fighting unit. Ot the first encounter the British brought down one of the fred devils. .' leaving the three remaining to scout about for several days. Yesterday the second of the red machines Yell in flames. This second machine met It's fate while helping to defend a large German forhnation which had been at tackled by four British triplanes. The fight was not ended until six of the enemy machines had been sent down, while al four tripanes returned safe- ly. They reported that the pilot of the crimson scout handled his n1a- chine with great skill. deliperately Sen- Itefingea combat which he could easily have avoided.

SEES SUBMARINE MENACE LOOMING
 AS DANGER POINT
Walker Sounds Warning at National Security Lea
 que Meeting.

New York, May 1.-The Central powers may have 200 submarines af1oat-and I believe that it is possi- ble that they have many more than that-and if, as Is more than likely, they have 500 on the ways at the present time, this would mean that in six months they would have 700 U-boats available, and 1900 by next spring."
 That was the deliberate and well considered statement made by J. Der nard Walker, editor of the Scientific American, chairman of the Navy Com mittee of the National Security League at the annual meeting of the National Security League at the Astor Hotel. MT. Walker spoke as an expert who had been making a deep study Of his subject He gave statistics of the number of German shipbuilding yards and their capacity, so far as they are known today, and under estimated rather than over-estimated. in his de- auctions.
 Continuing, he said:
 'tBut, you ask, can they supply crews for such a large number of sub- marines? I answer that the German naval personnel numbers over 150,- 900 men. Her idle batt1eships can supply all the men required to man the submarines as they are success lively set ahoat.
 Here, as I see 1t, is the immediate danger point in this great conflict into which we have now entered. It Is here that we should apply, and should at once apply, our whole effort. Ii we refuse to do this and elect to fight a purely defensive war, and the Allies should have to make a peace favora- ble to Germany, we may ultimately find ourselves. face to face with the high seas fleet of Germany-of twice tn estrength of our own to-day-an6 the veteran armies, 10,000,000 strong of the four nations of the Central powers

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES

It is curious to think of it today but on this day in the year 1702 war was declared against France and Spain by England, Germany and Holland. A great event in the conquest of India by. the British took place on May 4. 1799 when Seringapatam, a city of Hindoostan fell before Gen. Harris. Tipoo Sahib, most powerful of Indian potentates was slain and with him 5000 of his men. Within the city the British captured 100000 pounds in gold. and 2,000 cannon. On this day in the year 1776 Rhode Island passed declaration of Independence On May I, 1796 Horace Mann, the noted educator was born. In 1865 on the fourth day of May the confeder- ate naval forces at Mobile surrender ed. and on the same day in 1886 the great Haymarket riots took place in Chicago.
