German Critic ADMITS an
Increase In Aerial Losses

(Assoctdted Press Correspondence.1
NEW YORK, Sept. 12:-Steady In
! crease of German airplane losses Is
| admitted by Captain Otto Lehman In
I an article published in the Berisz
Tageblatt, reviewing the progress Of
aerial warfare during the year 1917
1918. Captain lehman attributes h
growing losses to two causes: Devel-
opment of the fighting airplane as q
weapon against enemy infantry, and
the enhancement Of the number of
fighting machines due to the transfer
of those oil the eastern or Russian
front, to the west front.
TT will be noticed that since Janu-
airy n February, 1918, eur figures
for losses show a steady increase"
Captain Lehman writes. The reason
for that, however, is the increased
participation of airplanes resulting
from the fact that the German flyers
who had been operating on the east
ern front migrated to the western
front when fighting cease in the
Russian theater. The increased par
ticipation. of course resulted logically
In larger total loss.
The eastern flyer, who had been
accustomed to quite different fighting
conditions, in the beginning, undoubt-
eddy had to pay a bloody apprentice
ship in fighting with French and
British. The Russian as an aerial OPP
ponent is fowls to be compared with
the Frenchman and Englishman.
TT would be fundamentally wrong
to draw the conclusion from the rise
in German losses at the beginning OF
1913, hat u superiority had waned.
Still another factor explains our high
er losses. As an infantry plane the
aerial weapon is taking part in a
considerably increased measure Z in
fighting the attackers on land. En-
tire squadrons of battle planes, So
called infantry flyers, accompany the
storming of the never-failing infan-
try and by taking full advantage OF
their speed, attack the enemy re-
serves at low attitudes with bombs
and machine guns.
These attacks are made often at
ridiculously low attitudes OF 100
metres and even ten metres. 1t Is
therefore, al first glance clear. that
these new tasks expose the airplanes
to every shot fired from the earth.
and must increase our loss account"

GERMAN CRUELTY
IN HER COLONIES
Official Report Given Out by
Great Britain Regarding
Treatment of Natives

LONDON. Sept. ia report con-
tanning evidences of the brutal meth
DDS employed by Germany in the ad-
ministration of the colonies in Africa
made public today by Edmund II. L.
Gorges, acting secretary of the inte-
rior, Union of South Africa, consti-
tutes the British governments reply
to DIR. w. S. Solf, the German score
tary of state for the colonies that Ger
many would demand the return of her
colonies at the eac conference.
The report is one of the most sem
s%ational ever issued in connection with
German colonial methods and 1T con-
~stitutes an indictment of German fit
ness to rule the black natives OF Az
rtca.
The evidence upon which the report
is based are taken from official Ger
man documents at Windhoek, from
sworn statements by native chiefs and
by Europeans familiar with the coun-
try and from the writings of Gov. Is
lutwein, who held office from 1894 to
1905; DR.. Paul Rohrback, DIR. Karl
Grove and others.
Altogether the reports refute In
detail DR.. Soils recent claim that
"Germany's pre-war humane treat
ment of h native races won for her
the moral rigth to be q great colonial
power" In view of this claim the fol-
lowing statement by Acting Secretary
Gorges is interesting:
The native opinion here is unani-
mously against any ideas of their
ever being handed back to the tender
mercies of Germany. Any suggestion
of a possibility OF an act of this kind
on the part of Great Britain produces
the greatest CONSERVATION"
The report shows that first twenty
five years of German rule in south
west Africa was an unbroken record
of official bad faith, private opinion,
cruelty. barbarities and robberies. cul-
minating in the Herero and Hotten-
tot rebellions. During the first sew
enteen years there was no law for
the natives. Such protection as the
law eventually provided indicated con-
s~ideration of humanity. but tho or
der to exploit the natives as laborers
remained.
They were treated like slaves and
their women folk were habitually
maltreated by the Germans who took
them into forced concubinage. These
were some of the things which goaded
the natives into rebellion, which was
suppressed by useless cruelty result
ing practically in the determination
of three tribes involved.

 State Representative

In another column of the News appears the formal announcement of the candi- dacy of J. w. Richards for the office of state represent ative. It required consider able argument by MT. Ri chards' friends to convince him that it is his duty to make the race for the office, but the eloquence of these friends prevailed and he finally consented to allow his papers to be filed.
 MT. Richards is now serv- ing his second term as coun- ty treasurer. A number of years ago he served two terms in the same office. During the years he has fill ed this office he has made a large number of friends, and these friends will show their confidence by casting their ballots for him at the demo- cratic primaries in Septem- Der.
 No better man could be chosen to represent the va ried industries of the county than J. w. Richards. For years he has been identified with the chief industries of the county, which are stock raising and farming. He is also identified with the fin ancial and other business in- terests of the community, and his election will mean that the county will have a representative in the state assembly who will be some thing more than a time marker.

It is heavy enough in body to form a thick coating over the wound, thus preventing insects and the elements from harming them.
