there would be a reyersion to the

The lesson Of this great battle Of
The aeroplanes must not be lost upon
our war Department. Aviation is a
branch Of the military service in
which We are backward to a shocking
degree. II is doubtful IL we have any
machines that would have been al.
lowed TO join the British attacking
squadron. On this point Ruth Law,
who made the record breaking fight
from Chicago 10 New York and who
IS Just back from the western front,
can be cited as an authority. "Not one
OF the hundreds OF aeroplanes which
have been sent from this country to
England and France is in use,'' she
says, ''at the front" They are too
slow and cannot be handled and
manoeuvred as easily as the British
machines, many of which attain a
speed Of 1876 miles an hour and rise
under perfect control much faster
than ours.
This report is not pleasing to a
country that originated the practic-
able flying machine, but the Initiated
know how far we have fallen behind
in the development and use of the
aeroplane. We must have the best
machines for our troops, and aviators
as skilful as any, or It will be farclcal
to send divisions TO Europe. Aero
planes are as necessary to an army
rs guns and ammunition. The army
without modern means of reconnais-
sance is at the mercy OF an enemy
well equipped with them. It will be
necessary to obtain the British and
French war models. and then no time
should be lost in turning out ma
chimes and training men to fly them.
