Friends of Hon. Chas. ]. Warner all over Nebraska are
getting a lot of satisfaction in the triumphant vindication of his
position on the major issues of the campaign of 1893, in the light
of the way those issues were dealt with in the 1899 legislative
session, including some rather vibrant echoes of those issues in
the special session that has just closed.

 In the whole of that war only l 400 persons lost their lives in Eng land from Zeppelin and airplane raids.
 Tcday. air forces consist of bomb ing planes, comparable in function with battleships and possessing striking power far beyond that of the numbering bombers of 1913 and of swarms of smaller craft which, like those on the sea, have supporting missions.
 A wholly new type of warplane the bomber destroyer, has come out Armed with small cannon. it is de- signed to attack and shoot down invading bombers.
 Another new type, glimpsed briefly in the German blitzkreig in Poland and again during the December le defense of Helgoland against Brit ish bombers, is the bi-motored pur- suit or fighting single-seater. The United States army also is eXperi- menting with this type of weapon

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-The ere ation of air fleets having striking similarity to surface navies promises a kind of warfare in Europe-if big air cffsnsives actually are launched in 194O-that will stir the shades of yester-year's flying aces.
 Bombing raids by hundreds of planes operating in waves" are more than a specter Of the future.
 They are possible, even prob able now. Both sides in Europe's "big war have built up tremen- dous air forces. The almost static nature of the air war since last September, the German campaign in Poland excepted, is an unnat- ural lull before a storm, in the op- inion of many competent neutral military men.

protection against defending pur- suits. f"s}aHfiS Wia' 9fs~
 Flnaily, Germany and, possibly, her adversaries are constructing four -motored, long range bombers to reach objectiyes more than l,0oc miles from their home bases. y.
 The aim of all warfare is to break an enemy's will to resist, and to be as economical as possible of blood and money in the process. Teg
 One school of thought contends that to defend on land and attack in the air is. the quickest avenue to a final decision, KY. ,...,. Air War in Spring TX
 The stalemate. on the, Western Front, where armies are living com fortably in huge fixed Qualifications, lends credence to talk that Spring offensive would be confined to air and sea warfare. XXI.
 Germany was in a fair way of winning the war of 1914l8 with her unrestricted submarine attacks in 1917. Germany's counter blockade of England was having deadly ef- feet. Air warfare on 1940 scale might logically have as it's objective the destruction of factories pro ducing vital war materials, roads and highways, nerve ce,iters of cleo trical, gas and water supply ser vices, wharves and, last, but not least, enemy airdromes.
 Air superiority, which would be necessary to vic tory in the air, would depend on neutralizing the effectiveness of the enemy's air force. It is an air force axiom that the best place to bag the eagle is in his nest.
 To Smash Morale
 Air attacks during the World War were made to destroy British morale. Today, both sides would have the same objectives.
 To be economical of both men and materials, the belligerents would choose their bombing targets care fully. Visibility depending on the weather, would be major factor unless navigationa bombing in which bombers would fly at great heights out of sight of the ground, were c-t- | tempted.
 Waves of bombers, loosed a, lrl- tervals of an hour, probably would be preceded by swarms of pursuit or ground-straffing attack planes | to draw the fire of defending air craft The bombers themselves, ap- preaching at great attitudes and gliding down with motors silenced to thwart elaborate warning nets" would drop demolition, fragmenta- tion or incendiary bombs, depending on the nature of the attack and the character of the targets.
 Just what effect such attacks would have is perhaps the biggest question facing the high commands of both sides to the conflict. Ger tainly a mass bombing raid by either belligerent would be repaid in kind, and immediately. And just as cer- tainly the destruction in lives and property would be enormous. re- gardless of what air defense meas ures were taken.

Mr.. Kennedy explained that he
has become interested because of
complaints brought to his Office.
He said he endeavored to adjust
them quietly, but did not receive
much cooperation from members
of the board.
He added that other members of
the District Committee have been
receiving an increasing number of
complaints AS a result he con-

Italy Plans 10 Double
WarpIanes and Pilots
BY the Associated Press.

oy tAC ASoOCldtc0 EECSS
ROME, Feb. 3.-Italy plans at
least to double the number of her
military planes and pilots this year,
Gen. Francesca Pricolo, undersecre-
tary for aviation, announced today.
The size of Italy's present air
force is a secret but the number of
planes has been estimated unofh-
cially to total 1000 while pilots are
variously estimated at 10000 to
$4,000.
Gen. Pricolo, writing in the avia-
tion newspaper LIE Vie dell'Aria,
said the air force would be prepared
to carry out "all tasks which the re-
quirements of the new destinies of
Italy might impose on it,
ITO that end" he wrote, "a pro-
gram has been provided for aug
menting manufacturing plants,
schools for pilots and the renewal of
flying equipment"
Gen. Pricolo said that with ex-
tremely fast fighting planes and
more modern bombers the air force
would be better able to ward off
attacks and reach its objectives.
Since speedier development of the
air force was essential, he said, fewer
efforts would be made to better
records.
