His statement that the Germans

generally agreed that the total
strength of the German air force at
the time of Munich was approx
mately $500. His opinion that the
United States and Britain could not
defeat Germany is at variance with
that of every other nom German
military expert in Europe. So were
most of the other opinions which
he produced for the benefit of the
Congressman.
For the sake of the record, it may
be noted that nobody in England,
which boasts of several thousand
military people who know more
about British prospects in this war
than Col. Lindbergh, has the slight
est doubt that Britain and the
United States together would be
able to defeat Germany, from either
without or within, by the end of
1912.
Col. Lindberghs general attitude
toward Britain surprises his British
former friends because he always
gave the impression of enjoying
himself here. The shy boy, who
impressed the world by his modesty
when he arrived in Paris, had be-
