suffering and starvation that those trench denizens must contend with" The Zeppelin is not to be decried. It is a regular battleship when it comes to armament and can ascend much nor easily at great attitudes than can an air plane.
 ] EFFECTIVENESS OF ZEPPELINS We in America do not know how eff fective those Zeppelins are,'' he said. They are so tremendous that they are veritable battleships, large enough to carry two-inch guns. On board, a crew of 28 men may live and cast bombs and eX- piosives downward. They carry wireless outfits and, although they cannot make more than 5 miles an hour, have been cutie valuable in conveying ships in the Black sea. They can rise to great heights and their gunners have proved effectual in bringing down airplanes. "The only hope of the flyer is to get above the Zeppelin. Then there is a chance for, although guns are mounted aloft, they cannot shoot well above them. ] shall never forget the day was flying

 GERMANY HARD TO BEAT I T do believe that Germany will fall, but it will not be accomplished in few ] months During my service, went into Germany for purposes of making ob- ] servations I flew nearly 300 miles. All the way from the firing line in northern France to Berlin, the Germans have built great forts and strongholds which will be difficult to batter down. They evil dently felt that sooner or later they would be forced to withdraw and are prepared to do it.
 If Germany is starving, I do not be- lieve it. In the fields, one sees where they have planted corn, vegetables and various foods. The allied soldiers, who have been captured, have been forced to till the soils and 1t is hard for me to believe that Germany will ever be starved into submission.
 "The Germans have the greatest fight ing machine in the world, but the valor of the French and British is wonderful" 'Left-tenant' Thompson-as he says
 the flyers jocularly call hin-was born in Montgomery and is 32 years old HIS looks would belle his age as he looks
 younger. He has been an aviator for six
 years Some of the feats which he has accomplished are, according to the avia- tor, introducing the first Hoop the

ASK GENERAL STEINER TO LOOK OVER SITES FOR MOBILIZ ATION
Civic Association Hears Birmingham to Be Center for Alabama, Mis-
 sissippi and Tennessee

Information having been received by the Birmingham Civic association that Birmingham has been decided upon for the mobilization center of Alabama, Ten nessee and Mississippi in event of war, committee was appointed to- investigate the matter of sites. Furthermore, this committee, after securing site which is fully 400 acres in area, will notify Brig Gen. R. E. Steiner and invite him to come to Birmingham to inspect the site.
 In case the United States goes to war with Germany and the government de- termines to raise a large army, fully 10000 soldiers will be assembled at the mobilization point for the three states. Therefore Birmingham will make every effort to get the camp.

COMPANIES GIVING
 BONUS TO MINERS

There will be no concerted action upon the part of Alabama coal operators in the giving of bonus to the mine work CTS of the state. In all probability a number of the operators will agree upon the bonus to be given.
 Announcement has been made by two or three coal operators that they will increase the wages of the miners effec- tive April 1 by per cent. While vari- ous companies will employ the several methods of increasing the pay of the miners, there is to be no uniformity. Some have provided the increase in the nature of a bonus, while others are go- ing to give percentage raise.

MONTGOMERY BOY BACK FROM
 AIR SER VICE IN FLANDERS
Frederick Thompson pein Suddenly Emerging From the COuds-Six Months
 FuOugh Because of

Crushing Germany will not be accom- plished soon.
 Frederick Thompson, lieutenant In the Royal Flying corps of England, declares that the war lords of Germany have pre- pared to withstand the onward rush of the allies by construction of forts, strong holds and Notifications that are as near impervious as the ingenuity of human be- ings can construct. This chain of forts extends back from the Somme front nearly to Berlin.
 Perhaps no one is better qualified to give information concerning the Teutons than Lieutenant Thompson, for this dar- ing Alabamian, native of Montgomery, spending more than year aloft in the skies of Flanders, where the two opposing armed multitudes were yielding their lives for scanty plot of terrain During his service with the flyers of England he battled with the Zeppelins, the 'battleship of the skies,' directed the fire of the mighty artillery of England and flew 300 miles into Germany.
 In a Dieppe plane, he declares, he flew nearly 300 miles into Germany, in an eff fort to acquaint his superiors with the positions that the allies are now storm ing, and to learn of the strategic move ments of the troops.
 HE IS WOUNDED
 In Flanders last July he ascended and was lowering over the field where the forces of Germany and England were engaged in a titanic struggle. He was seeking to find whether the artillery fire was going awry or whether it was deal ing wholesale death to the Teutons. From an altitude of 12,O00 feet, he ventured a dive to view the fire at closer range, for clouds of smoke that followed in the wake of the great howitzers had surcharged the heavens with their dense, grimy fog.
 Miscalculating, the airplane shot down. ward until it reached the 3500-foot alti- tude zone-within the shell fire range and rain of shrapnel hit the air craft. There was sting and burn," said Lieutenant Thompson, and I knew that was hit. My observer, Roy Mason. was killed. Though l was wounded in my left arm, side and shoulder, I managed to guide the airplane back behind the British lines to the hangars Following this injury I was given a furlough for six months and returned to America, where I think I shall remain. In event of war with Germany, l shall offer my service to the United States

the planes that have been such a great factor in modern warfare, according to the aviator, and the Zeppelin has been far more successful than we of America have heard.
 Since the outbreak of the war, the airplanes have been developed to a. high degree of efficiency. The Germans, I am sorry to admit, have the swiftest planes Their Fokkers can speed through the air at the rate of 1S0 miles an hour. The allied armies have not produced a ma chine which will exceed 13O miles The American planes-the Curtiss, Wright and others-are not as dependable but they are used largely in training aviators for the service.
 "The most dependable motor for air planes seems to be the Lorene, which is 100 horse power, with nine cylinders. It drives the planes at a pretty neat clip The Dupertson, Dieppe and Marie Antoin- cites make about 125 miles an hour The Farman is a very reliable biplane The tendency is to get away from the mono- planes"
 DIRECTING ARTILLERY FIRE 'In what phase of warfare has the airplanes been most effective?' 'In directing artillery fire the airplanes have done wonders. These air craft as-

On the planes there is attached soot box This contrivance is arranged so that, by press ing a key, the aviators can cause cloud Of black to be produced. By sort of se- cret code the information is conveyed to the observers and the range is changed If necessary. The airplanes do not carry wireless, but some of them, the military tractors, are armed with machine guns. which are operated either by the aviator or his companion.
 From heights up to 12,0O0 feet it is possible to drop bombs and hit within hundred feet of where the bomb was aimed. An indicator automatically takes into consideration the altitude, speed and angle. and hence the bomb dropping is a scientific art
 Because of the airplanes, strategic movements of big armies have become impossible, and hence the prophecy of a peace without victory seems to have been profoundly wise. Victory will come by force of greater ornaments, by over- whelmingly larger numbers or by exhaus- tion. I am inclined to think it will be the last.
 "The flyers watch every movement of the opposing armies They report im- mediately and the game is just exactly like checkerboard. It is move against move. Achievements against reinforce ments. l have served in many phases of the service. I was at Bordeaux as member of the city patrol. was sta- toned near London in that flying corps.
