Where will the great battles of the

is the strategy Of the great aerial
campaign sf 1913 through which the
allies hope to hasten victory? What
part will Uncle Sans liberty planes
play?
Up to the present air fighting has
been on a plane with guerrilla war
fare-a matter of scouting, indivi-
dual combats and bombing raids.
But with the spring 1t passes into a
new phase. Then We shall see pitched
aerial battles and huge bombardments

placing shells and shrapnel. Great
Industrial cities 800 miles from the
