DID HE DO RIG HIT OR WRONG?

81 An Old question has been raised by a sanguinary
I3say that took place in Covington, Ky, Tuesday eve
r., says the New York Times. Five directors of a To-
and Loan association were holding a meet
Ta to adjust accounts, and on a table before them was
.ssething over $1,000 in cash, dues received from mem
NAs. One of the directors happened to be Covingtcn's

ssaHtles, three men armed with pistols who appeared on

Hs@ore the robbers, after making a hasty grab at the

ONE MAN BRINGS
DOWN 81 PLANES
OF THE GERMANS

Paris. March 14.-Lieutenant Nun
gesser, who became the French lace
of aces after the death of Captain
Guynemer, has just brought down his
thirty-lirst enemy machine. News of
his latest exploit is hailed with de-
light by the French press because it
comes after months of comparative
inactivity on his part during which he
has been recuperating from the eff
fects of serious injuries received in an
automobile accident.
Nungesser's ability as an aviator
coupled with his numerous injuries
and remarkable recuperating powers
is rapidly gaining for him the title of
'superman." He has been repeatedly
injured since the beginning of the war
and twice the French army physi-
sicians have classified him as unfit
for further service" but his robust
constitution and strong will power
have enabled him to overcome all OBJ
stacles and he has steadily found his
way hack to the escadrillc.
During one of his periods of con
v~alesence'' at Dunkirk he brought
down nine enemy machines.

SOCIALIST DlSLOYALTY

In an article in Harpers, Charles Edward Russell dis
cusses Socialism in its various relations, saying in part:
Many Of the fundamental things contended for by
the Socialists he says, willie come now by evolution and
changed conditions. The Utopia may still be far off, but
by different designations the practical essence of the
socialistic doctrine cannot be averted. These changes
will probably be with as little reference to organizations
as to him of the soap box. If a party that in time of
war and national emergency deliberately sets itself
against the country and the government could be much
of a factor in the political field the American voter would
have to me remade, and the Socialist party of the United
States was sufficiently handicapped even before its recent
adventures in disloyalty."
: Mr.. Russell has been and is one OF the most prom
inent advocates of socialistic doctrine in the country. He
was for a long time a prominent member Of the Socialist
political party of this country. Retaining his economic
belief, he has severed his connection with the Socialist
organization, not solely, but chiefly because Of the evil
dent fact that the organization was being used as an in
strunent Of disloyalty.
He was largely instrumental in the organization Of
the Nonpartisan league. He performed very effective
service in that work. But the considerations which
caused him to withdraw from. the general Socialistic or
ganization govern his attitude toward the society which
was started in North Dakota as an outgrowth of the So
ciaist party. Russell is first Of all an American. If the
requirements OF his Americanism are such that the work.
ing out OF his economic theories cannot be accomplished
without injury to the cause of the nation, then the theo-
ries must wait. He has as little use for Townleyism as
he has for any other sort of German propaganda. s
Inere IS a diferenceI between the Bolshevik p.an
and the Townley plan of government. Under the Boil
snev1k plan the individual members undertake to handle
everything directly, and get themselves all tangled up.
Under the Townley plan the individual members have
nothing to say. Townley has attended to all that.

Says Expert.

London February 26.-(Corre-

"Both the Germans and ourselves

Commenting in the Evening Standard
on the recent air raids on London.
The intensive battle barrage' in
Flanders is crossed n recrossed IN
cessantly by airplanes.. Our raids on
Mannheim and other German towns
show that the men cannot bar our
machines from reaching their ob5ec-
tive, and the recent raids indicate
that Germans can penetrate the Lon
don d%efenses.
But there is a tremendous change
in the conditions governing the raids
as compared with those existing less
than q year ago. OF the many air
planes which may now approach Lon
don very few indeed get through. h
massed fleet raid a given away to
attacks by single machines or very
small groups. Never again are we
likely to have the humiliating spec
tacle of a big formation of enemy ma
chimes moving with impunity above
our capital.
I'm this respect we have reduced
the danger very considerably. for
with modern bombs, and modern inn
provements in bomb release, a fleet of
raiders could now do terrible damage
in London. The massed attack has
been broken up, however. and now
our danger comes from units and very
small groups. We cannot make light
of this development, all the same, for
the Germans ave formed the habit
of running their raids in a kind of In
dian file, group after group coming
over to England. and, each ~endeavor-
ing to send one or more machines
over London.
"The single or small group of raid
ers is most elusive, and no agency
yet put into practice has been able
to stop this form of attack. The
daring pilot, and. so immense is the
sky space and so defective is visibility
at night that great fleets Of pursLers
often fail to bring him down.
But our airplanes are growing
more skillful in breaking up the
fleets. and with further experience,
aided by more liberal S of very fast
machines, we should be able to give
every sole raider 81 terrific chase from
For this chasing we require the hest
brain work. coupled with a lavish
supply of the best machines. Until
this system is carried to perfection we
must continue our gunnery barrage.
The object of this fire is not so
much to hit the raider as to drive
him very high as thereby we force
him to come rather lightly loaded
with bombs and in addition his ac-
curacy of aim is diminished" T.
