Cablegrnm to The Sunday Star and
New York Tribune.
LONDON. May 25.-Thc attack by
German aviators on British hospital
camp emphasizes the fierceness of. the
aerial fighting in France, where, out of
sheer desperation, the Germans have
committed crimes as black as any they
have been guilty Of in this brutal war.
There is no longer any doubt that the
allies are clearly superior to the Ger
mans in the air. Each day this ad-
vantage is growing, one in which the
American aviators share. At no period
Of the war has either side enjoyed
such an advantage in the air as that
held at present by the American,
French and British forces.
It is true that the German fliers
are exceedingly active and daring. But
slowly and surely they are being
driven to the earth. The British are
carrying out their bombing expedi-
tions on scale which makes previous
efforts seem insignificant. With the
American forces looming up larger day
by day, the results seem inevitable.
1t is highly probable that the allies
Will have the same supremacy in the
air that they enjoy at sea.
Value Of Bombing.
No leader can estimate the value of
bombing. 1t may be that this great
weapon will revolutionize the whole
system Of land fighting and prove a
decisive factor in ending the war.
Even now the allies are bombing the
enemy's lines Of communication SO
that Ludendorn's plans are being
knocked awry. The Germans are
striving desperately to increase their
output and are driving their men
harder than ever. They are throwing
aside all pretense of following the code
Of warfare.
They know that in their coming
push they will be at considerable
disadvantage unless they can thin out
the fiocks Of allied airmen who hover
over their area day and night. What
Is happening at sea Is being repeated
in the air. The part that manufac-
turers Of war munitions are playing
in the struggle is being demonstrated
daily. Great as Germany's military
organization IL, the recent happenings
on land and sea show that the manu-
featuring genius of America, France
and Britain exceeds that of the foe.
Continue Trench Raids.
The Germans are continuing their
trench ralding In the Lens region, be-
ing especially active around Givenchy
and Lens. and the heavy field artillery of
the enemy has kept up a lively can
nonading. There was considerable
activity along the whole northern
battle front, but the Somme front was
quiet. The weather continues cloudy.
and unsettled and windy.
