DAUGHTER OPERATED UPON.

The reason for Mrs. Zachary Lans-

her to suggest that she be allowed to

America partners among the great

or unified air force. France and
Japan adhere to the system In ex

and Italy have unified" services In

Experience Of Britain.
The anti-unif1cat tionists plan to
counter effectively against the
Mitchell party by showing that Great
Britain, which now has a united
service under an air minister, Is doing
her best to get rid of that system.
Opposition to it is led by the navy.
The latters experience has proved
that a united service fails to meet the
requirements of the fleet In the air.
Until April l. 1918. the air services of
Great Britain were organized on lines
similar to those in effect in this
country.
The immediate cause OF the change
to a united air force was the critical
situation on the western front in
~F ,t,.nf
every available airplane to meet the
German menace. Although the Ger
man fleet was practically broken in
strument. confined to it's naval bases.
the German army was sweeping for
ward in France. So the British navy
gave up its naval aviation to the army
to meet a war emergency. After the
armistice the British navy sought to
regain control Of it's air arm. The
struggle to do so has continued until
this hour. Repeated concessions have
been forced from the united air min
istry until at the present time 100 per
cent of all observers and 20 per cent
Of all aviation pilots are royal naval
personnel. In addition. the airmen Of
the royal air force on board airplane
carriers are now being substituted for
by royal navy ratings. 1t is believed
only a question of time before COM
plete separation takes place between
the fleet air arm and the royal air
force.

France. which ranks as the ''su-
