But In that group of allied military
strategists assigned to service here
which believes that the war will be
won in the air the events of the past
thirty days have been thrilling in
their promise of results far surprising
the fondest dream of those students
of modern warfare who see in aircraft
the master weapon of the battling
armies. Day by day the reports from
,,., ~, utll4g fronts aud from the naval
bases of Franco and England have
continued TO tell in brief sentences Of
the work of the men in the air. Daily
these reports have grown more and
more significant. But 1t Is not until
one totals the achievements of a
single week that the true realization
of the superhuman efforts now being
put forth by the allied aviators Is
brought home.
As yet no sign has come from Ger
