 WW (special)-The disposition of
 forces and the order of battle employed by allies and Germans in their air battles are graphically described in a communication to the National Geo. graphic society from Capt. Andre de Ber- roeta of the French aviation service. His description of the manner in which the opposing forces are aligned above the trenches is made public by the society in the following war geography bulletin issued from it's Washington headquar- ters
 "I will explain in a few words the methods of the pursuit or fighting planes and the special duties which the aviators of the pursuit squadrons have to per- form. To understand the tactics of ouI machines you must be acquainted with the methods of the enemy-that is, with the forrnatlcn adopted by the Germans for the execution of their work. 'In normal times the German planes are disposed in three stories, the most elevated being also the farthest from the front.
 .1 The spctting and infantry planes. at a height of about $500 feet and at least half a mile from the front These are protected by:
 ''2. A defense (barrage) of two-seat- Iers, at a height of about 5000 feet ant | from two to three miles within their 1 lines.
 | sao ba tUhn utilizing the best single-seat and few two-seat planes, hoid themselves at height or about l2.O0O feet, between three and four
 miles back Of their lines.
 /, "In periods of crises, when an attack 1 is believed imminent, or when photo graphs are to be taken within our lines,
 the Germans launch large groups of ma chimes over the affected points. In par l ticular. reconnaissance missions are ex-
 ecuted at heights of 1s.5oo to 15.5oo feet.
 ITO this rigid and defensive arrange ment we oppose a war of movement by the employment of. offensive cruisers, terraced like the enemy's machines. which it is their duty to attack. 1 aOur fighting machines are at pres ent swift single-seaters, flying from lzo | to 40 miles per hour. each armed with one or two machine guns, rigidly fas- tened< to the airplane and capable or shooting only in the direction of the axis
 of the machine, not pivoted like the guns | on war vessels.
 "The pilot must therefore fly straight at the enemy in order to be able to fire at him. He must be skillful in aiming land steering at, the same time, so thai at the moment for firing the hostile
 plane will be in the sighting line of his machine gun. I leave you to imaglne i inc skill required to attain this result, 1 when one attacks an enemy flying at an average velocity of 12o miles per hour. witir his own machine going at an equal or greater speed.
 .The following are the principal cases of attack for fighting planes

Tillman's Death
 a National Loss

E1NHE death of Senator Benjamin
 0 Ryan Tillman of South Carolina lis a distinct national loss.
 As chairman of the Senate commit tee on naval affairs he led success ful movement for a stronger navy be- fore the United States entered the war, and to his foresight and con structive activity were due in no small measure the administration splendid achievement in it's preparedness pro- gramme when the final break with Germany came.
 Having made a close study of our sea-fighting establishment from the time he became a member of the naval committee, no man in Congress in recent years had proved himself so well equipped for handling large legislative problems affecting the navy department as Senator Tillman. During his long career in the upper house he had been an indefatigable worker and at the age of seventy, feeling that his strength was waning, announced his purpose to retire from public life at the end of his present I term in 1919. But in view of his I ripened experience as naval chairman
 there was urgent need of his con tinued service, and inspired by lofty patriotism he revoked his decision not to offer as candidate in this years primary election. While languishine | in the last weeks of his illness sup porters in South Carolina were mak. ing a determined canvass for him confident that he would win over his bitter political foe, Cole M.
