Folks OF all classes seem to regard us in
abont the same way. The men who have
little stores here all play golf and they

GERMANS ADMIT
BIG LOSSES IN AIR
But Say 1t Is Due to Transfer of Men
from Eastern Front and the Larger
Participation.

New York, Sept. l2.-Steady increase
Of German airplane losses is admitted by
Captain Otto Lehman in an article pub
lished in the Berlin Tageblatt, reviewing
the progress Of aerial warfare during
the year l9l7-l9ls. Captain Lehman
attributes the growing losses to two
causes Development of the fighting air
plane as weapon against enemy infan-
try, and the enhancement of the number
of fighting machines due to the transfer
of those on the eastern or Russian front,
to the western front.
sit will be noticed that since January
and February, 1918, our figures for losses
show steady increase" Captain Leh-
man writes. 1.-THE reason for that, how
ever, is the increased participation of
airplanes resulting from the fact that
the German flyers who have been operat-
ing on the eastern front migrated to the
western front when fighting ceased in
the Russian theatre. The increased
participation, of course, resulted logical
ly in larger total loss.
"The eastern flyer, who had been ac-
customed to quite different fighting CON
ditions, in the beginning, undoubtedly
had to pay bloody apprenticeship In
fighting with French and British. The
Russian as an aerial opponent is no.
wise to be compared with the French
man and Englishman.
1t would be fundamentally wrong to
draw the conclusion from the rise in
German losses at the beginning of 1918,
that our superiority had waned. Still
another factor explains our higher losses.
As an infantry plane the aerial weapon
is taking part in considerably increased
measure In fighting the attackers on
land. Entire squadrons of battle planes,
so called infantry flyers, accompany the
storming of the never failing infantry
and by taking full advantage of their
speed, attack the enemy reserves at
low altitude with bombs and machine
guns.
These attacks are made often at the
ridicuously low altitude of 100 meters
and even 10 meters. II is therefore. at
first glance clear, that these new tasks
expose the airplanes to every shot fired
from the earth, and must increase our
loss account"

Sir Harold Stiles operate 1t happened
! Sir Harold hadn't much operating on
hand, but he had a good four cylinder
! Overland car and some trips TO make
about West Lothian, and that was very
instructive because you can ask ques-
tons about nerve operations and such
and see the country at the same time
In about week along came an order
for me to 60 to Liverpool for a confer
ence on fractures. That was cut short
because ] happened to ask Gen. Sir Rob-
ert Jones when he was coming to Aber-
deem again and he said, Tomorrow, and

he was a doctor was a stonecutter in

great fun. Like everyone else, he has
lost son in the war, but like the Others
/ he goes ahead and does not let that keep
him from doing lot more for the coun-

This is a jumbled letter, but before
! forget it, two things have made very
profound impression upon the people here
and have done wonders to create good
feeling toward the states. One was the
genuine generosity of the people at home
in saving wheat, etc, to allow more fof
export this year. 1t means that at the
real crisis, which | think is passing or
has passed, this people didn't have any
real starvation to break their determi.
nationSto hang on until American troops
could come to their aid. The other thing
was the willingness of the American
troops to be brigaded with British regi-
ments when that was the way they could
do the most good. 1t seemed like the
natural thing to do, but it struck these
people as wonder of unselfshness on
/ the part of the Americans. On the
whole, you see, we lucky chaps here are
getting the thanks for what you at home
| have done.
please give my kind regards to all
our mutual friends and tell them that
from here it looks as though the war
were slowly but surely coming out the
right way. Fred Fassett."
