.SUCCESSFU Ill AVIATOR
MUST Be ACCURATE
MACHINE GUNNER
IN THIS CHIEF REQUIREMENT
OF A FIRST CLASS AVIATOR
THE ALLIES EXCEL.
THE FIGHTING PLANE HAS SU-
PERsEDED THE OLD oesER-
WALTON FLYING MACHINE.
TO AIM PROPERLY THE PILOT
MUST AIM HIS WHOLE
MACHINE.

! SoMBWlIII1RIE IN FRANCE, Aug
81 Correspondence of The Asso
ciated Press. )--lAccurate machine-gun
Z 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
aviators. At the opening of histilities
airpIanes 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
lmachine 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
lairplane as a gun mount. Ut is easy
Ito conjure some of the pilots diff
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. i'm an airplane, every ounce
OF weight counts, and ammunition is
therefore strictly limited. The greater,
consequently, is the need for accur-
aey 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 a critical moment might
prove fatal. In training, on the other
hand, ammunition is carefully selected
for its badness, the object being, by
means of frequent gun jams, to make
the clearing of a stopage automatical-
lly simple to the pilot.
! The successful air fighter must be
a good pilot; but even the most bril-
liant trick flyer, the "stunter" whho
can throw his machine about in the
air and make it supremacy difficult
target for his adversary, is neverthe-
less incompletely equipped as fight
/ er unless he can combine brilliant
flying with brilliant gunnery. Foch's
rule that Offence is the best defence
applies even more an the air than on
land, and it is by following that rule
that, the allied lighters have wog
thei rascendancy over the Germans.

trickery in breaking the Ukraine
away from the bought-and-pa:d-fo
Bolesheviki government, plots against
loyal Russian soldiers and their lead
ers to insure complete German sway
after the false peace conference at
BrestIitoysk and further evidence OF
the precautions of the Teutons against
Bolshevik preaching in their own
ranks are shown in todayIs install
ment of secret documents from Rus
STA made public by the United States
Government.
Communications written in January
disclose that the Bolsheviki were
fully informed of what the Germans
were doing in the Ukraine and knew
that peace treaties with the Ukraine
and Roumania were coming They
also learned quickly enough that Ger
many was disposing of their hopes to
see their revolutionary propaganda
take root ON German soil.
Turk Watched Russian Commander.
Notes from the German Intelligence
Service to Trotzky, the Commissioner
OF Foreign Affairs, show first that a
Turk with a Russian passport was
sent TO Petrograd to keep watch over
the Russian commander-in-chief and
that a month afterward, late in Feb
ruary, removal of the commander-in-
chief, General Bouch Brueyick, 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
aevsky and Alexieft were cowardly,
TO that of July 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.
