USE OF AIRPLANE OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
German Newspaper Admits
Work Being Done Is
Playing Havoc.

Behind British Lines in France Thy
maiD-The uses OF the airplane as an
auxiliary to infantry in action are be-
ing continually extended. 1t is tho
opinion of military leaders here that
the need for more and more machines
and raine men is shown by the sue
cess of the low flying airplanes in
operating against the Germans during
the past w months. On the western
front, this spring, two Acknowledgement
recklessness of life and the success of
the allies in holding back the German
airmen-gave the opportunity of de-
veloping on a large scale this method
of harrassing attack.
The success OF the low flying air.
plane is of two kinds, the slaughter
they infiict and the REORGANIZATION
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
alrplanes are seen, the terror is mys-
FERROUS. When they are seen, with the
irresistible implication that, the Ger
man planes have failed to drive them
off. the psychological effect is very Sc.
veree.
The work of the British airmen re-
ceived a reluctant tribute in a 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 the British flyers, said:
Never before have the English thrown
their Airmen in such great masses be-
! our front as they are doing at
the present."
But the higher command of the Bvit-
1sh air force is by no Means satisfied.
A high official pointed out to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent in discuss.
ing this phase df airwork, that never
before was the need of the aid force
for trained men and finished material
so urgent as i. is today" He added:
ut has been slid loosely that the allies
are masters of the air ana have
achieved supremacy in flying. But the
aerial situation is too fluid to justify
such words. AS q old fact, complete
masterymasyery Of the air could only
come if thore We're no German ma
chimes able to take the air.
Superiority is another matter, and
it is true that at the moment this may
be claimed by the allies. For example,
the British record of bombs dropped in
April shows ~ to one against the Ger
mans. The present superiority can be
maintained and must be maintained,
not only on general grounds, but par
ticularly for the development Of the
new tactics Of the low flying aiyplane,
What is needed is more machines
and trained men. and it il the
people; tho men and women of the al
lied countries, who in the last analysis
must give or withhold effective super.
iorty in the air.

WAR BRINGS ABOUT
UNION OF CHURCHES


New Haven. Conn.-At least temper
airy union of churches in 1s Connecficut
towns has been accomplished within "a
year owing to circumstances resulting
from the war, reports a committee Of
the Connecticut federation of churches.
Denominations Joining in the movement
were Baptist. Methodist, Congregations
al. Free Baptist. Lutheran and Inde-
pendent Methodist. Thirty seven
church organizations now are combin-
ing services in 10 buildings. In one
town Baptists and Free Baptists united
under a Methodist minister.
Each church organization has re-
tanned it's own officers adheres to
it's own UNCONVENTIONAL beliefs. In
most cases the union is considered q.

The plaintiff, Alfred G. Erkenbrecker,
of Cincinnati. alleges thru his attor-
neys that the proposed amendment is
invalid because it was not passed by a
two-thirds vote on both houses of con-
gress. The petition alleges that the
resolution on the amendment obtained
a two-third vote Of those senator's and
representatives voting but that the
law holds 1t must have a two-thirds
vote Of the total membership Of both.
houses, which it failed 10 obtain. and
therefore the resolution was invalid.
