AIRCRAFT WARFARE

With an active military air force Of
SO squadrons, the United States is
nearly 40 per cent ahead of Great
Britain in military air strength, ac-
cording to an article in The Nation,
and second only to France. France
holds an air strength greater than
that of all Europe combined" writes
the author, M. w. ROyss's. "The
strength of her 40 active-service
squadrons, totaling 1160 machines, is
nearly 4 times the total British air
strength"
Mr.. Royss's articles, Of which the
first will appear in The Nation for
May 9, are the result of probably the
most thorough comparative survey
that has yet been made. Since his
service as an army pilot during the
war, he has devoted himself to study
ing aircraft preparedness Of the great
powers, investigating not only the mil
itary air forces of various countries,
but the great commercial fleets, which
he asserts can be converted Instantly
for military purposes. These fleets
are too expensive for profitable COM
mercial use and they are therefore
maintained throughout Europe on gov
eminent subsidies.
Describing the next war in terms of
the technique of killing, Mr.. Royss
explains how much more deadly bomb
ing planes are today than they were
at the close of the European war
"Speed and range of aircraft has
nearly doubled" he writes. "No one
dares prophesy the limitations or ca
pacities Of a large-model airplane.
Of the use of even present models in
the next war, however, he makes the
following prophesres:
"Long distance raids into the very
heart of the enemy country, extending
fve-hundred miles or more beyond the
actual battlefelds, will be carried
destructive ostensibly against military
establishments, but actually will

DINNER PAIL EPTCS
By BILL LLOYD

That day in Europe is sure lost
when there amt held at some big cost
a conference to adjust the earth and
give the peace dove a new birth.
The premiers or their delegates
meet to arrange the nations fates.
Of smiles and bows they is no lack;
each with a knife behind his back.
They's out for profit and for loot, each
one a-threatening he will shoot. Each
one is looking for some soil which is
plugged full with lots of oil.
Wherever oil is found to flow, some
nation thinks that it must go to help
some folks who is oppressed or help
some national who's distressed, to
save the Christian from the Turk, OF
do some other righteous work. Where
oil amt found, things seem to be as
good and peaceful as can be.
Where there is trouble, you can tell
it amt far from a big oil well. AnC
when the fighting all has ceased, you
know that things has been well greas.
ed by Anglo-Persian or John D., anC
that oppressed folks now is free. It's
then reflected in the news that they
has broke the widows curse and pour
ed oil on he statements feet, beneath
the guns of some big fleet.
They meet first here and then out
there wherever hotels serve gOOC
fare, until the map of Europe looks
like one of Tom Cooks travel books
Each conference seems to be the worst
but they is seeing Europe first. While
the results we cannot see, they study
their geography to find new towns il
which to meet, to juggle boundary
lines and eat, to wine and dine anC
talk and smile and cheat each other by
the mile, all looking forward to the
day when bankrupt Germany will pay
and Uncle Samuel with a grin vii

To the visitor who knew the great

my days and who has watched the
gradual decline of the past few years,
the present atmosphere of optimism
brings a feeling of keen delight.
There is a new spirit Of "get-there''
abroad, one that is leading prospector
and small operator out into the terri
tory surrounding the producing area
on the big hill, and with good results.
Business leaders are opposed to
another period of infationa and real
ize necessity of keeping commercial
activity within sound confines. If pro-
ducton costs can be held to reasonable
figures and prevent undue price rises
