WORK OF BRITISH AIRMEN.

~ osT Delawareans will admit we feel sure that
INI among the many wonders Of the war nothing is
striking than the development Of the British Royal
Air Force.
Four years ago the British possessed considerably
fewer than 100 aeroplanes Now the Royal Air Force
alone destroys in an average considerably larger
number Of enemy acroplanes than Britain possessed
when began.
The officially recorded figures for a single month
illustrate the combatan activities of the r. A. f., in the
month last the number Of enemy aircraft brought
down (which destroyed by the British alone
3ii whilst the number driven down out OF control
i6s.
As against that total Of 4s2 enemy machines destroyed
or driven down. i6s British machines reported
missing for the period Another month shows
5is enemy aircraft accounted for, and only 1928 British
machines missing.
During one MONTH British airmen fired at ground
gets 953Os rounds OF machine gun ammunition.
During the same month British airmen dropped s53
tons Of bombs over different military obiectves
made fewer than seventfour separate bombing raids
Germany ITSELF apart from work the battle
area and engaging nearly 1000 enemy batteries.
These are figures Of combatant work only. In
single month the Royal Air Force has taken well
10000 photographs over the enemy lines
There is also the work carried out by those airmen
In eo-openatlon with the artillery. by Of which
the fire OF the is directed with precision upon
enemy guns and gun emplacemens. bles transport,
dumps, railways and concentrations Of troops.
During the year ended June 30 1915 British airmen
have accounted for considerably 1000 enemy
craft whilst the number Of British machines reported
missing in the period just over 1000
The Royal Air Force adds 10 its every
few days much its total resources at one period
of war. whilst its personnel has now been multiplied
more than two hundred times.
Apart from production. which is OF course
enormous the Royal Air Force now reconstrucis many
machines in month than Britain possessed alto
gether at one stage Of the war.
It is uncommon thing for British eirmen to bomb
military obJectives in Germany itself three times in one
day.
The visitor TO the battle in France today will
find in single Royal Air Force Motor Transport Repair
Park 1000 hands working day and might on the repair
alone of kind Of Royal Air Force motor transport
Though Important motor transport is but one Of the
minor factors in vast and many-sded industry which
embraces almost every known trade and handicraft
which, far from shrinking, will nightly expand
when victory brings peace and with it the beginning
Of commercial aviation for the British Empire.

If there be flower that is despised utterly by the
farmer it is the morning glory It is big nuisance

And yet townfolk admire the morning glory and
town poets have written mpassoned lines about
'where the morning glory twines:"

have obtained such foothold that the big oornned
