They have gIimpsed an angel. They
know that while they work and
while they sleep the air is patrolled
by their vigilant guardians.
Rut even in our naive childhood
we knew there were angels Of two
sorts. There were good angels and

were angels that guarded and
angels that destroyed War that has

changed even the angels. No longer
are they OF one sort or the other
but of both. To grateful eyes look
ing into American skies the far
moving spot is a good angel. But
to Prussian eyes, it is of different
aspect. They see it as a spirit Of
destruction.
That was big. significant news

without loss. The departure Of the
