HUN HIGH
SHOWS UNEAS|NESS
Superiority of Allied Air Forces
Causes It to Make Ridicu.
lous Claims.

British Air Force Headquarters in
france thy maiD-There have been
many signs recently of extreme UNI
%easiness by the German high command
regarding the increasing asccendancy
OF the allied airmen on the western
'front.'. This has been especially evident
since the American airmen have be-
gun to appear in force and nave proved
themselves of the same mettle as the
French n British fliers.
1t has become Il common place
among British airmen that their OPP
potnents will not face combat in the
air unless in strength OF three or four
TO one, and German prisoners have told
OF German airmen being punished by
their flight commanders for returning
TO their airdromes still laden with
bombs n ammunition which they had
been ordered to drop over the British
lines. 1T is becoming increasingly hard
TO flnd a German airman over the al
lied side OF the lines in the daytime.
as is proved by the Germans own ad-
mission that when they do manage to
bring down an allied machine it is al
most always over their own territory.
Perhaps the o striking evidence
of German official anxiety regarding
the allied superiority in the air is to
be found in the official German wire
less news. This, while always imagina-
tive and rarely accurate. has of late
'CGAA ~ y WIN anu .luIl OIL nc
tion regarding the situation in h air.
In an effort 10 counterfeit the depress-
ing effect of the real facts of the situa-
ton n German wireless editors make
the widest statements, bordering al
most on humor.
Thus a recent copy of the German
wireless report says Superior meth
DDS of flying and greater skill nave Sc
cured for the German air force sue
ceSSeS ON a scale such as were never
known before" The same statement
refers in glowing terms Of the "reck-
less attacking spirit" of the pilots of
the German chasing planes-a phrase
which provoked much merriment
among British, French and American
airmen. who OF late LAY found that
even one of the reconnaissance. ma
chimes can rely on putting to flight
any German machine which is not ac-
companied by three OF four of it's own
kind.
IF Germany is really pleased with
her air record for the past few
months" remarked a British squadron
leader TO the correspondent. there is
no reason for us to complain. We ask
nothing better than that Germany
sshould go on having the same kind of
success in future months"
He. took as an example the report for
May, which lay open on his desk. "Thi
British air fighting alone and has no
reference to the fine air work Of the
French, Italians and Americans. Dur
ing the month the British brought
down 398 German machines in aerial
combat and 20 by fire from the ground,
while 100 more were driven down out
of control and probably destroyed.
During the same period 1913 British
machines failed to return to their air
dromes."

Perhaps the removal Of the checks on

acts of the Russian revolution. The fore

warburs's Retirement.
From tho Chicago Tribu

FROM tlO SulCd8O lTtDuIle.
The retirements Of Paul Warburg from
the FEDERAL reserve board and the accept
ance If his resignation by President Will
son &re A source of regret not only to
those who appreciated the exceptional
service he has rendered the country but
to these who believe that the circum-
STANCES constitute a reprOach to the nu-
ton. Mr.. Warburg is of German birth
and lle has two brothers who are serving
the German cause in a financial capacity,
and tyese facts, as far as We know, COM
prise the sum total Of the case that can
be urged against him.
On the other hand. he has unselfishly
devoted his great talents to the upbuild-
ing Of the federal reserve system, both
before and after we entered the war.
His retirement, tho president says, "is Q
serious loss to the public service" and
the president takes occasion to emphasize
his confidence in Mr.. Warburg's loyalty.
We need only read tho current casualty
lists to observe that Americans of Ger
man blood are willing to give their lives
to serve our cause. We need only turn
to our own past history to realize that
relative can fight against relative with
all the ardor of those whofhav no affilia-
ton with the opposing side. Yet we now
allow Unsupported suspicion to. drive from
an important office a nan for whom it
will be more than difficult to find a quail
fled successor. Mr.. Wilson might perhaps
have persuaded Mr.. Warburg to withdraw
his resignation. and there are doubtless
many who will feel that to max the
effort. at least. would have been the wiser
and more dignifed course.
Mr.. Warburg's letter is the one crafty
ing incident in the whole affair. Without
rancor and without bitterness. though we
could hardly blame him IL he SHOULD dis
play these feelings In the circumstances.
Mr.. Warburg states the case Of q good
American ready to serve his country.
whatever might happen, and ready to
resign II by SO doing II appeared that
ne could do q greater service. He realizes
that the aslspfcion against Americans Of
German ancestry is often ''unreasoning."
hut he also realizes that in war 1t is likely
to disturb the mental balance of many
otherwise normal persons.
Mr.. Warburg leaves his office with the
sincere gratitude n sincere regret Of all
thinking Americans.

vERDUN CITADEL.

Elizabeth Frazer in Saturday Evening
Post.
Thanks to my classical education. I
had no proper conception OF what con-
vaguely imagined 1t as a city ringed
around with a very substantial stone
wall. crenelated and turreted, with
dozens OF peepholes for the doughty
gunners to tax pot shots at the enemy
established outside. In the very heart
figured in my mind as < big. round, i'm
%pregnable stone tower bristling with
teethlike rows of cannon, it's founda-
tions naturally extending scores Of feet
underneath.
Accordingly when we set out to
traverse the long series of dimiy lit
reverberating subterranean passages,
descended flights of Shiny stone stairs
TO lower and banker levels. stopped in
gun and ammunition rooms electric
plant rooms, kitchens. messrooms, in
firmaries, chapels, muses., cinema and
rest rooms, d%ormitories, c%avernous
abodes 20. 80 and 40 feet below
ground, l began to wonder when we
were going upstairs.
But there is no upstairs" respond
ed NJ. Martin. laughing in answer to
my query-"not in this citadel. Here
1T all is, just as o see, underground.
You observed those big iron mush-
ground when we were up OF the hill?"
But Thought they were he bser-
walton posts of hidden guns-like that
Of the Big Bertha"
so they areEthey are our wi Big
Berthas. Nevertheless. those observa-
ton posts are all the upstairs there is
to this citadel. What do you suppose
would happen to the superstructure of
a fort II it were hit by a shell which
made q crater as large as the one we
saw. on the hill-50 feet across and
20 feet deep? Not much upstairs left,
eh?"
So much for a classical education!
And. all tie. French troops eat and
sleep andspray and drill down here?
There are lone billeted in Verdun?"
There's nobody in Verdun."

our W number to impose the natural
laws OF industry. commerce, communities
ton, transportation, and SO on, upon the
indians, why don't we do the same for
ourselves?
An Indian child is taught how to raise
corn and cotton. how to ride and swim
and build a shack. Why should not white
children be taught these things?
An honest and industrious Indian can
borrow $500 from the great white chief to
stock his farm and set himself I'D at
housekeeping. Why is III white chief
less considerate OF his own sons?
Are We really civilized? The Indian is
protected from land sharks and stock
Jobbers. Why should not the rest of us
be protected?
Ihe Indian understands that in the ma.
lure OF Things q highway or q watercourse
is a public affair. Why can not everybody
IN the United States be made to under
stand that?
What is civilization, anyhow? We are
trying to give 1t to the Indians, but have
we got 1t ourselves? Certainly we can
ave no very strong hold OF 1T until we
nave grasped the idea that there are
natural laws of social we'll being, laws
that We neither made nor can unmake.
and that liberty and democracy consist
IN obeying these laws, aver in being COM
PEELED to obey them.
we DO no violence to our democratic
faith in imposing these laws upon the In
dians, anybody hat is able to do It has q
right to impose them upon anybody else.
me trouble with us is that we do not
sufficiently understand them or resnect
them. ~
