Back to 1913
His mind goes back to 1913 when
the Germany of the Holy Roman
empire was broken up into prin-
cipalities and powerless miniature
states.
To recitfy that mistake he is re-
ported to have chosen Munster
symbolically for the peace con-
ference.
How completely the air force
dominates the situation was ap.
parent to us during the r O S
cournty drive.
Long columns of anti-aircraft
guns, cannon, air force supply cars
and gasoline vehicles were moving
with unabating regularity toward
the actual operations area.
If any column called for t e
short rest, two anti-aircraft guns
were mounted Immediately a n d

to realize how war has been revol

This is how Germany operates
in this decisive area:
First, an air squadron deter.

Meanwhile the air information

Now that Adele Pearce has several

Five years ago while driving to-

wreck with serious neck and face
injuries.
Today she's playing her first

How did it taste?" asked Towne.
