BRITISH AlRMEN HAVE
LEARNED HOW TO ATTACK
THE GOTHAS All NIGHT
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 1.-THE activity OF
British airmen in connection with re-
cent air raids on London indicates
taat they are learning rapidly the art
of fighting the Gotha in the dark.
Until few months ago there was
little air fighting at night, even in
France, and raiding craft enjoyed
marked advantage because their alb
iect was solely to avoid attack while
dropping their bombs.
1t is evident that they are able no
longer to avoid attack. For one thing,
the British polits have learned to SEE
in the dark as a result Of numerous
night flights in search of enemy ma
chimes. Now they are able to spot
.Gothas at distances which would have
been considered impossible in the
early stages of night raids.
They have learned also how to take
the best positions for combating the
enemy, and how to keep these posi-
tions. The Gotha, being an extreme
" heavy machine is adept at slipping
away. By a sudden plunge in front
OF the attacking scout it can create
a "backwash" and leave the attacker
struggling to right his machine.
The British pilots now know now
to cope with that trick and to keel
within thirty or forty yards of tht
raider all the time.
There are many perilous positions
round the Gotha, whose two gunner
can fire in almost any direction. onll
highly skillful handling of the at
lacking machine enables the pilot tt
maintain place in which he can con
tinue the fight until he hits the raide'
in a vital spot.

About the biggest thing we learned at
college was the college spirit. 1t was OUR
school and OUR team. No matter wheth-
er the subject under discussion was pro-
teSsors, equipments, football basketball,
tract or debating teams. we always root
ed for OUR school. 1t is this spirit that
makes a business house succeed. that is,
when every person in any way connected
with the firm boosts the house and stands
by all of their associates. This spirit
makes a town or community prosper.
And it is this spirit which these days
goes under the name MORALE, the
spirit of loyalty TO the company, regi-
ment or camp, loyalty to the great Cause,
ITO officers or men which will make your
company do its best in the Cause for
which it is fighting. 1t will make the
place in which you are living worth boost
ing for. The man who will not stand up
for his company his officers or his men
is just as disloyal and unworthy as the
foreigner who lives in this country and
derives the benefits of this country but
refuses to do his part In helping the
country. 1t is easy, but harmful to
knock your company. Strengthen the
Morale of OUR army by being loyal to
all the interests of YOUR company Help
