noughts are used in the general en-,
gagement. But another element
must be considered. Recent develop.
ments IN air navigation have given
to aircraft an important role in
every phase Of modern naval bat
| tie.
In these days Of high-power guns
sea battles are fought at great
ranges-ten miles or more. A cora
mander of a large fleet can see only
a small part of his own forces or
the enemy force from the deck of
his flagship, either before or during
the battle. Since it is impossible for
commander to dispose LIS forces
properly before battle or to maneuver
them intelligently in battle against
an enemy he cannot see, it is essen
tlal that he should have some means
OF getting accurate information con-
cernlng his own forces, as we'll as
those of the enemy, as the battle
lines approach each other and while
they are engaged in battle. Aircraft
are invaluable for such observation
work. Maneuvering at a suitable
height, they can observe the enemy
and send full information back to
the flagship by radio. Submarines.
preceding the feet, can obtain in
formation also.
If the commander could see for
himself he would have a tremendous
advantage. Inasmuch as he could
see from an airship, it seems prob
able that in the near future the bat
tie commander will be forced to take
his station in such ship. Certain
it is that the battle commander who
controls his forces from an airship
high over the battle area can
handle his own forces far more eff
fectlvely than he can from the deck
of any ship. Granting this, we may
anticipate that battle commanders
IN the not distant future will con-
troll their forces from dirigibles spe-
cially deeigned for that purpose. But
1T is by no means improbable that
the commander may have a iitney
seaplane attached underneath the
dlriglble in which he may at any
time volplane down and go aboard
his surface flagship should he wish
for any reason to do so, leaving a
staff officer in the dirigible to COM
municate with him by radio.
But aircraft will have manv
other functions in the naval battle
OF to-day. Owing to the long range
OF modern guns, the fall of shots
cannot be seen or Spotted" ac-
curately from the decks of the firing
ships. In order to make hits even
at short ranges spoilers" must be
sent aloft to positions from which
they can see the falling shells and
can report the changes in range and
detection that are necessary to hit
the target. And when the range is
creative or ten miles--it is only

Smoke Screens in Battle


From what has gone before the
reader may have drawn mental
moving picture of modern sea
battle between heavy fighting forces.
To view it from an airship would be
awe~inspiring. The thunder of the
heavy guns, the frightful explosions
OF shells, the darting hither and
thither Of the cruisers and destroy
ers, the swarms of aircraft overhead
and the blowing up and the sinking
OF ships by means of heavy shells,
bombs, mines and torpedoes must
undoubtedly make all other specta-
cles appear insignificant. The
smoke screen has become an i'm

Too much love making in the
Philippine Island has inspired
the lawmakers in Leyte Province
to pass a blue law for bidding
anyone to court school girls I'M

says:
1t shall be illegal for all males
to court, make love to or main

solicit love from any woman who
studies or attends any school,

manifest that the recent reduction OF

estimated at from 10 to II per cent
In no sense meets or solves the prob
lem of labor costs and in no way
makes 1t possible for the railroads to
afford reduction in their revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five
thousand individual reductions in
freight rates. On some railroads the
reductions in rates have amounted
to more than the reductions in wages
so far made, and on many other rail-
roads the reductions in wages allow
ed no net return on operations, but
merely provided against the further
accumulation of a deficit.
The point is often made that agri-
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate diff
culties as the railroads, why, there
fore, do not the railroads take their
medicine like anybody else? The an
swer lies in several facts:
1. The railroads were not per-
mitted, as were other industries, to
make charges during the years of
prosperity, making possible the ac-
emulation of surplus to tide them
over the present extreme adversely.
According to the reports of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, the rate
Of return on property investment Of
the railroads of the United States
for the past several years has been
