FEELING THE GAFF

Now that allied airmen are ralding
German cities, munitions centers and
supply stations with increasing fire.
quency the Kaiser is beginninf to
whine dolorously 1t is quite a differ
ent story, this dropping of air bombs,
now that the shoe is on the other
foot. 1t was fine business when the
Germans had a monopoly
Every time one of these centers of
war activity is shaken up by an al
lied bombing party the aKiser makes
haste to convey his august sympathy
to his nerve shattered subjects and
incidentally to bewail the allied bru-
tally. And of course the German
hoi polloi is expected to suffer gladly
for the Kaiser's~ sympathy
Both Germany and the Kaiser are
beginning to feel the gaff
And neither like It,
What both have experienced to date
is but a foretaste of what is yet to
come. For more rapidly than most of
us appreciate the allies are gaining
ascendancy in the mastery of the air.
1t will not be many months until Ger
many's air fleets will be wholly upon
the defensive.
When that time comes the raiding
of London and the English coast
towns, and the long distance Smelling
of Paris will be mercilessly avenged
And the naval centers as Kiel and Ze-
brugge, the Krupp munitions work at
Essen, and the several airplane sta
lions scattered from Lake Constance
to the Holland border, will all be fair
game.
The walls of allied wrath will de-
scend upon Germany from the heav-
ems as il were. And before It is half
appeased Germany will be curslng the
day that the first Zeppelin was sent
winging its way toward London.
Our big part In this work is to fur
nish airplanes by the thousand. Amer
lea is expected to supply the great
bulk of these. And she win not dis
appoint
And individually our part Is to fur
nish the money, for each airplane
costs something near $4,000.
