WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-German
trickery in breaking the Ukraine
away from the bought-and-paid-fo
Bolesheviki government, plots against
loyal Russian soldiers and their lead
Iers to insure complete German sway
after the false peace conference at
BrestILitovsk and further evidence Of
the precautions of the Teutons against
Bolshevik preaching in their own
ranks are shown in today's Install
ment of secret documents from Rus

Government.
Communications written in January
disclose that the Bolsheviki were

were doing in the Ukraine and knew
that peace treaties with the Ukraine
and Roumania were coming. They
Ialso learned quickly enough that Ger

see their revolutionary propaganda
take root ON German soil. q
Turk Watched Russian Commander.
Notes from the German Intelligence
Service to Trotzky, the COMMISSIONER
OF Foreign Affairs, show first that
Turk with Russian passport was
sent to Petrograd to keep watch over
the Russian commander-in-chief and
that month afterward, late in Feb
ruary, removal of the commander-in-
chief, General Bouch Bruevick, was
demanded. Bruevick, whose continu-
ance in the position was particularly
no longer desirable" to the Germans,
was turned out and General Parski,
named by the German Intelligence Ser
vice, was appointed to command the
Petrograd district.
Another note from the intelligence
Service complains that .'the agents
sent to kill Generals Kaledin, Bog
aeysky and Alexieff were cowardiy,
TO That OF jury 10, says the Amester-
document shows that as long ago as
December, 1917, former German pris-
oners OF war were being dressed in
Russian uniforms to fight loyal Rus
sian soldiers.

SOMBWlfIFlRE IN FRANCE, Aug.

fire is the chief requirement OF the
successful combat aviator, allied ev-
iation experts agree.
1t is interesting to note the prog
ress made in the weapons used by
ayiators. At the opening of ihistilitles
airplanes were used mainly for OBJ
servation work. Their pilots were
armed generally with carbines, and
sometimes only with an automatic
revolver. Then came the fighting air.
airplane and the single and double
machine gun
But these never and more deadly
weapons are useless unless properly
aimed, and this is no small task as
the pilot must aim not his gun, but
his whole machine. He must use his
alrplane as a gun mount 1t is easy

culties when the gun mount is man
euvring and travelling twice as fast
as amy express train while it target
is in similar action.
Nor is that all the difference be-
tween aerial and ground gunnery On
the, ground, ammunition is practically
unlimited. in AN airplane, every ounce
of weight counts, and ammunition is
therefore strictly limited The greater,
consequently, is the need for accur-
acy in shooting.
1t is important that no ammunition
Shall be carried which is not abso-
lutely reliable and ali is selected and
tested. Guns are vigorously inspected,
for a jam at q, critical moment might
prove fatal. In training, ON the other
hand, ammunition is carefully selected
for it's badness; the object being, by
means of frequent gun jams, to make
the clearing OF stopage automatical-
ly simple to the pilot.
The successful air fighter must be
ia good pilot, but evenfthe most bril-
liant trick flyer, the "stunter" whho
can throw his machine about in the
air and make it a supremely difficult
target for his adversary, is neverthe-
less incompletely equipped as a fight
er unless he can combine brilliant
| flying with brilliant gunnery. Foch' s
rule that Offence is the best defence"
applies even more in the air than on
land, and it is by following that rule
that the allied fighters have won
! thei raseendancy over the Germans.

squeals and suggests the end Of the
war may be near. Brutal fighters are
