BOMBS ON EVERY
PLANE IN FUTURE

With the American Arm In England,
Aug. 9.-Almost every airplane used
by the Allies soon will carry bombs.
Experts in aerialwarfare are con-
WINGED that the general efficiency OF
the corps will be increased II q bomb
ing device is added to every plane sent
out, even though It be of the type once
intended only for reconnaissance work,
and Americans now training in Eng
land, are being as carefully drilled in
bombing as In handling a machine
gun. "
Lessons learned during the resist
ance offered in the recent offensive
have served to increase the already
high regard OF both British and Am
erican officers in the air service for
the low-nying, bomb-carrying craft,
and, over the camps and countryside
where the aviat0rs are being trained,
planes are in evidence almost every
hour, dipping down from high in the
air and skimming the nearby country,
barely missing treetops and houses.
1t S the newer lesson they are learn
ing, and observers back from the front
where the allied planes did such re-
markable work not only in scouting
and d%istracting the enemy, but actu-
ally in breaking up forpations and at
points checking the onward movement
have urged concentration on that form
of training.
British trainers, detailed to Ameri-
a aviation camps, have been lib,
eral in their praise Of the new fliers
from overseas, their only criticism be-
ing that the Americans are "a bit too
Keen" Their tendency has been to
60 in for flying stunts rather too
early in training, but even this. the
trainers have admitted is a valuable
fault, although not one to be encOur-
aged.
1t has been pointed out to the Am
orleans that team work, as well as
individual efficiency, is a prime requi-
site and the Americans have steadied
themselves to the routine their train
ers have found makes for general ad-
vancement, If not for individual ap-
plause. Fancy flying, the acrobatic
work that once found favor and drew
heavy gate receipts at aerial sexhibi-
tions in the United States, still is
taught, but the learning of that form
of flying also has come to be regard
ed merely IS routine and wholly incl
dent to the steady, low flying desir-
able for attacking camps and troops
in formation.
Accidents have occurred in the
camps where the Americans are be-
ing trained and a few men have been
killed, but the records show that the
percentage is far less in England than
in the United States. Those in train
ing here are inclined to attribute the
difference more to luck than to any
thing else, although there also is
pointed out the probability that the
average airplane used in England is a
better made machine than the aver
age that has been used in the United
States.

butt of considerable joking on the

register the father is said to have
made affidavit that the son was the
sole manager of his farm, and that
the productions of large amounts
of food products depended upon his
son remaining at home and farming,
so the son was plhced in deferred
class.
The father is only AZ years old,
and on Sept. IL he had to register
for military service. Now he will
have to go to the front instead of
his son, as he has made affidavit
that he has nothing whatever to do
with the managing of the farm.

with the hope that some good all
