ALLIED PLANES
 USED IN ATTACK
 AGAINST INFANTRY
Thousands of German Sol diers Meet Death by
 Flyers Guns.

Behind British Lines in France June b Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press) The uses of the air plane as an auxiliary to infantry in action are being continually extend ed. It Is the opinion of military lead CTS here that the need for more and more machines and trained men is shown by the success of the low-fly- ing airplanes in operating against the Germans during the past two months.
 On the western front this spring two factors-German recklessness of life and the success of the allies in hold ing back the German airmen--gave the opportunity of developing on a large scale this method of harrassing attack. N
 The success of the lowflying air planes is of two kinds-the slaughter they inflict, and secondly, the disor- ganization they cause. This second factor is of more importance than most people realize. An unexpected check to troops on march is always troublesome. Men wonder what has happened Suddenly bombs begin to fall, men are killed, horses stampede, wagons are smashed and the road blocked. Until the allied airplanes are seen, the terror is mysterious. When they are seen, with the 1rr1- sistible implication that the German planes have failed to drive them off, the psychological effect is very se- were.
 The work of the British airmen re- ,ceived a reluctant tribute in recent issue of the Berlin .Vorwaerts, which was captured in a raid on the German trenches. The German newspaper, in an article full of apparently sincere admiration for British fliers, said: "Neyer before have the English thrown their airmen in such great masses behind our front as they are doing in-their present retreat
 But the higher command of the Brit ish air force is by no means satisfied A high official pointed out to the As sociated Press correspondent Ill dis cussing this phase of airwork, that "never before was the need of the air force for trained men and finished material so urgent as it is today" He added: "It has been said loosely that the allies are masters of the air. and have achieved supremacy in flying. But the aerial situation is too fluid to justify such words. AS cold fact, complete mastery of the air could only come if there were no German ma chimes able to take the air.
 Superiority is another matter, ana it is true that at the moment this may be claimed by the allies. For ex- ample. the British record of bombs dropped in April shows 12 to 1 against the Germans. The present superiority can be maintained and must be main tained, not only on general grounds, but particularly for the development of the new tactics of the loW-fly1ng airplane.
 "What is needed is more machines and more trained men, and it is the people, the men and women Of the allied countries. who in the last analysis must give or withhold effec- tive superiority in the air..

Parrots are playful, but eaglets are not. and no one has ever been able successfully to tame an eagle. Among sea mammals, seals are very playful. sea lions are not, and trained seals are among the cleverest performers of the vaudeville stage. Of the larger animals, thc elephant alone possesses playful character in youth, and thus. while the rhinoceros and hippopota' mus can only be seen from the safa side of strong barred cages, the ele- phant can Dc utilized for a thousand purposes, from that of derrick to . nursemaid.
