AIR LANE PATROLS
Britain Already Looking Into the
Future.
Necessity Of Having Force to Guard
country's Merchant Ships in the
Clouds Against Sudden Attack
Is Pointed Out.

The Dutch paper Telegram report
ed that on November Is alrplanes
dropped bombs on the castle at Swal-
men, where the ex-crown prince of
Germany is staying.
No suggestion is made as to the
nationality of the airplanes, except by
the parenthetical remark that Swal-
men is only three miles from the Ger
man frontier. The report does not
mention any casualties, nor does 1t
say how the ex-prince bore himself
under fire. though 1t would have been
interesting to have known, since, ac-
cording to popular report, he has had
no previous experience during the war
of being under fire, having left all
that to the German cannon fodder"
which he so recklessly and cynically
sacrificed.
The report is vague in the extreme,
but whether or not true, it suggests
various exciting possibilities in the
future. Piracy and smuggling by air
plane are possibilities not to be over
looked. OF course, while all Europe
is still armed, and the German army
resembles pack Of wolves without q
pack leader, nothing could be easier
than for some German airmen who
dlsapprOve of the ex-crown princes
conduct in general and are resolved
that no counter-revolution shall ever
make him emperor, TO paint out the
national marks on their machines, fly
high above the clouds into Holland,
dive upon his residence ard release
their bombs. In any force still retain
ing its discipline and the discipline OF
active service at that, such action
would be wildly impossible.
In times of peace such raids would
be less easy. All airdromes and their
airplanes will of course be registered;
the movements of aircraft will be even
more strictly under observation than
those of seagoing ships, for the simple
reason that their periods of absence
from terra firma are necessarily much
briefer.
Moreover, air pirates could never
stop a commercial airplane and call
on It to "stand and deliver" They
could never get away with booty, and
therefore their operations could only
be destructive and not profitable.
But one must not overlook the pos
sibility that a power as evil disposed
and reckless as Germany was In 1914
might suddenly begin q systematic at
tack on all the aircraft of rival. The
experiences of the past warn us to be
cautious in the future.
II will be the task OF the royal air
force to guard the air merchantmen
of Britain. For years their work may
be as bloodless as was the work OF
the navy from Navarlno TO 1914, but
the navy was needed at last, and II
would be very rash to declare that the
royal air force will never again send
a foe down in flames.
We must remain prepared on land,
on the sea and, last but not least, ID
the air.-Lond0n Mail.
