Anh-Aircrdf Barage
Is Most Dreaded Weapon
The Aviator Has to Face

Somewhere in Franco, Dec. 90
Correspondence of The Associated
Press.)-The anti-aircraft barrage is
today the most dreaded enemy
weapon which the airman has to face
in his flights over the lines. In the
midst Of a sea of bursting shells, the
airplane bobs up and down like a
ship in a violent storm. The con-
cussions which the shells make in
bursting produce a swift succession
Of air pockets and air bumps, and
1t is absolutely impossible to keep a
machine steady through them. Mean
while there is the strain Of knowing
always that the next instant one
OF the thousands of flying shell
splinters may reach a vital spot in
either machine or pilot.
Yet ii is not possible to avoid fly
ing through a barrage at times. The
latest type OF anti-aircraft guns can
place a barrage as high as $4,000
feet, and 1t is not practical to turn
about and try to climb over the bar
rage. 1t takes a very highly spec
ialized scout machine to climb to a.
300 feet, and the heavier machines
cannot achieve that altitude under
any circumstances.
The longer the airman hesitates to
run the barrage. the longer he is ex-
posed to the fire. Anti-aircraft gun
lery at the front has now reached
/ point where the range is calculated
% a nicely almost instantaneously by
processes of triangulation and,
therefore, the flyer who hesitates is
ost. The only thing he can do is
o take his chance. just as a ship at
lea takes a storm and accepts its
,hances of weathering the gale.

Next to the barrage the most fear
ed Of the ground defenses is the
Cluster" This is a group of six
anti-aircraft shells, sent up together,
and placed just ahead Of the ma
chine, with one shell aimed to burst
the tip Of the fuselage, two on each
side Of it, two on each side just
ahead, and one farther and directly
ahead.
The side-slip is the favorite pro-
lection against these clusters. The
anti-aircraft gunners get their range
nowadays so accurately that the
slightest move out of range is fairly
certain to get the machine out of
dangers way,-unless the gunners
have anticipated this move, as they
sometimes do, by placing another
cluster at the most likely spot for
an expected side-slip.
The slide-slip is produced by tip
ping the plane down slightly, and
while flying ahead. slithering over
sideways, and down, thus changing
the range without seeming to do so,
for the gunner looking up see as
much Of the machine as before and
is justified in estimating its height
to be the same. In reality the ma
chine is a little to one side and
several hundred feet lower as the re-
suit of his skilfuI side-slip.
Below a height Of 5000 feet anti
aircraft guns cannot be used to
but machine guns and
rifles provide equally dangerous
enemies. A machine gun playing a
stream of 500 bullets q minute is no
mean foe, even though the bullets
are not explosive.

DRUG Law HAS
ACCOMPLISHED
GREAT RESULTS
Ten Years of Enforcement
of Law Reviewed by
Bureau Chief

Washington, ID. c., Jan. Item
wears of enforcement or the Food and
Drugs act of June 80. 1906, are re-
viewed in the current annual report
of the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture,
which says that the acts chief con-
tributions to the safety of the peo-
pies health have been its corrective
effect upon the drug and patent
medicine industry, its control Of
trade in unclean milk, polluted, de-
composed or filthy foods, and pro-
lection of foodstuffs from contamin-
alton with pOisons likely to be met
in manufacture.
The general effect of the Food and
Drugs act may best be estimated,
says the report, by considering its
effect upon food and drug control
by the states; upon development of
the food and drug industries and by
the principal abuses thai have been
corrected. But to illustrate the scope
OF the work through figures and facts
the report points out that more
than 5000 prosecutions have been
terminated in the courts in the first
decade of the act; that manufac-
turers have been cited at hearings
more than 10000 times, that many
thousands of factory inspections
have been made, and that more than
750, 900 shipments Of domestic or i'm
ported food and drugs have been ex-
Special attention has been given
to shipments of polluted or spoiled
food Milk shipped in interstate COM
merce and imported from Canada

profoundest influence on the coun-
try's industrial and social develop
ment.
Abuses Corrected by Law.
The best evidence, according to
the report, that many of the abuses
formerly occurring in the food in
dustry have ceased is found in the
fact that the violations of the Food
and Drugs act today are hardly COM
parable, in degree, with those in the
first few years following the enact
ment Of the law.
Most Of the staple-food products
now found in violation either are Of
a higher grade than formerly or are
products of clever adulterators who
have more or less anticipated detec-
ton so that the authorizations have
been found only by the most pains
taking chemical analyses and factory
inspection.
Consequently there has been a de-
cided change in the direction of the
work. In recent years it~has develop
ed quite noticeably in the direction
Of factory sanitation: of the study
of spoilage and decomposition of
foodstuffs and Of Improvement
through laboratory research of meth
DDS Of detecting the more refined
types Of adulteration.

JEW BATTALION
TO SEE SERVICE
IN PALESTINE

London, Jan. 1.-(Corresponden
OF The Associated Press) The new
Jewish Battalion OF the British army
is now encamped for its final train
ing period on a hillside in the West
OF England. Early In the new year
1t will leave for the Palestine front.
The battalion is under the COM
mand of Col. j. III. Patterson, an
Irishman and a great lion hunter in
East Africa in the days before the
war. His experience in command OF
Jewish troops dates back to the
GallipoH campaign, where he was in
charge Of the famous Zion Mule
corps, formed in Egypt OF Jewish
refugees from Palestine. After the
close of the Dardanelles campaign,
the Zion corps was disbanded, but
some Of its members managed to
make their way TO England and form
the nucleus OF the new Jewish
battalion.
AS at present constituted, about so
per cent Of the Jewish battalion are
British born or naturalized. The
remainder includes the members Of
the old Zion Mule corps, a large num-
Der of Russian Jews, and a curious
melange from several allied and neu-
trail countries. The level Of physical
fcers, is very high, particularly in
such matters as teeth and eyesigllt.
The battalion is practically tee
total, and a wet canteen which was
opened in camp few weeks ago was
closed in fortnight for lack of BUSH
ness. Colonel Patterson himself is
an ardent temperance advocate
Crime in the army" he said the
other day, els due to drink and moth
ing else. This is shown by the fact
that our guardroom has been empty
practically from the start. and you
would have to travel around many
training camps to see the like. The
disused cells have been turned into
bedrooms for the guards"
A great variety Of trades and pro-
LESSONS are represented in the
There are more tailors
than any other single trade, and this
fact is reflected in the excellent fit |
and smart cut of the battalion's uni |
forms. There are several artists and /
sculptors,. the latter including a lead
ing British sculptor, Jacob Epstein, |
whose work has been o. center of |
interest in England for the past three
years. A prominent concert violinist, !
Anton Tchaikov, is in the same \
company with Epstein, which also !
numbers young Russian who claims

RegimentaI orders for the new
battalion are issued simultaneously
