 But these newer 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 air plane as a gun mount. It is easy to conjure some of the pilots difficulties when the gun mount is maneuvering and travelling twice as fast as any express train, while its 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 ammuni- ton is therefore strictly limited. The greater, consequently, is the need for accuracy in shooting.
 It is important that no ammunition shall be carried which is not absolute ly reliable and all is selected and tested, Guns are vigorously inspect ed, for a jam at critical moment might prove fatal. In training, or the other hand, ammunition is care fully selected for it's badness; the ob- ject being, by means of frequent gur jams, to make the clearing of stop page automatically simple to the pi- lot.

Workmen, engineers and others caught III north of France when the German army rolled through there have grad ually worked their way to Paris as their repatriation has been accom- plished by the Allied arms. In many localities and in almost countless in dustries, nothing remains.
 Coal mines have been flooded, and years will pass before coal will be hoisted from them again. Electric power stations and the transmission lines have in many places been dis mantled, the machinery being carried off by the Germans, and the copper wire sold at auction. Practically all of the equipment in the metal-work- ing plants, all the cotton linen and wool spinning machinery, together with wool-combing and textile looms have been systematically pillaged.
 Repatriated r workers report that machines have been ski1fully taken apart and all the copper and alloys in the bearings sent into Germany for remelting. In many instances after this was done, the iron frame "c@o DI OheI up anu tuIHSu ONGL u German scrap-iron dealers.
 Steel structures have been taken down, and the sheet-iron roofs and steel columns and beams have either been sent back into Germany or used in the war zone. Sugar refineries and | breweries are reported to have beer completely destroyed. Machine shops finished just before the beginning ot | the war have been razed, and if, ir the rear of the battle line the enemy | has continued in operation certain plants that would serve his purposes it is believed that these will be de. stroyed before retreating.
 | The cost of replacing these indus. ] tries today is estimated to be about three times the original cost, whicl would amount to millions. The cost | before the war, of industries knowr | to have suffered worst is semi-offi. | cially reported as follows:
