WAR IN THE AIR

A Dutch woman. returned tom a
visit TO Germany. reports:
"Ihe impression gathered fr"a
wha, saw and heard in G--many
was " : of real despair. The Ger
man retreat makes the worst pos
sible impression. especially on the
Rhine. The idea that German soil
would be inviolate to the last has
completely disappeared. and on the
Rhine everybody expects sooner or
later foreign invasion.
The ravages made by the ailies'
aircraft are simply terrific. Nobody
is allowed to print word about
them. But you mag be sure that
when you read that there has been
some material damage done,' 1t
means that whole streets have been
torn up, with terrible casualty list
to complete the picture.
Germany as l Just saw 1t is the
saddest country in creation. One
never sees anybody laugh"
To supplement this picture. we
have an announcement from Eng
land that in the past month the al
lied airmen have dropped more
bombs and done more damage in
German cities than German airmen
have done in England in four years.
The allies have taken up Ger
many's challenger, and carried the
war into the air. We are winning
there, already. as signally as we are
on land. Conviction grows that ul-
timately the real decision will come
in this new field of warfare.
For that, all the allies are now
preparing with eager haste, and
America most of all. Though la
mentally slow in starting, there can
be no doubt that by next summer
our contribution of planes and filters
will give our side overwhelming afr
superiority. Our present plans,
slowly coming to fruition. call for
hundreds OF squadrons operating
continuously.
1t is terrible, the work Of those
air squadrons. 1t will become more
and more terrible until the supreme
moment when Germany, who sought
to win and rule the world by terror,
is herself terrified into absolute SUBJ
mission.
It is dreadful but necessary task.
We must stifle, for a time, the die
tates of human mercy, as the Ger
mans themselves have stifled 1t in
their wanton attacks. We shall not
laugh and shout at their suffering,
as they have laughed and shouted
when their Zeppelins and planes
blew to pieces the helpless women
and children Of England and France.
But we shall not pity them. There

MAY FOOL FRED
Frank Moran Is No Easy Nut
for Dubs to Crack.
FuItOn's Showing With Him
Will Mean Great Deal.
BY JACK VEIOCK.


New York. Jan 1s.-OId Frank
Moran is not overstocked with any
thing that resembles heavyweight
championship class. but he's tough
nut to crack and it will not he sur
prising to see him give Fred Fulton
all and more than he wants when
they meet at New Orleans.
Champion Jess Willard was unable
to knock Moran out over the ten
round distance when they met in New
York. and as Fulton is depending on
a victory. to strengthen his claims to
championship class, it will be up to
him to trim Moran decisively,
thing which a good many fistic fans
are doubtful whether or not he has
the class to do.
May Fool Fulton.
In Moran lanky Fred is going to
meet a different kind of a battler
than he has been facing lately. Moran
Pittsburgh battler will fight fairly.
Ole Frank says that his celebrated
Mary Ann" packs just as much
punching power now as it ever did
before, and he is going to try every
thing in the fistic calendar to put
MARY Ann" across
There are a good many fight bugs
who have seen Fulton in action who
are convinced that he has no love
for punishment. And these same
bugs are predicting that if Moran
proceeds to massage Fulton's com
plexion or his midsection with
wallops Frederick will do just as
he did in his bout with Harry Tate
end the fracas by swinging low If
he does he will be thru as recog-
nized contender for Wizards title.
and unless he defeats Moran decisive
make afterward will be greeted with
laughter
