AIR MASTERY
Mason Says It's on Way

ing pilots than the British.
The British have a heavy advan-
tage over the Germans in that they
began training their air pilots for
navigation in the dark before the
present war began. The Germans,
confident that their large superior
ity of planes would give them air
mastery by daylight attack, neglect
ed night training.
CONDITIONS CHANGE
The fact of Britain's lnferiority
in air power compelled the British
to concentrate on night raiding
when there is better chance of evad-
ing attack. AS the war in the all
now is developing into battles III
the dark, the number of efficient
British airmen who can reach their
targets at night and return safely
ought to exceed the Germans.
Any reasonable estimate of air
strength should show the Germans
still have superior numbers of planes
if all types are included. Whether
the Germans have specially concern
trated on the construction of long
distance bombers, however, is prob
lematiCal.
Certainly it is only recently that
intensive and continuous efforts
have been made to destroy the Brit
ish western ports. At the same time,
the attacks on Glasgow, the most
distant port III Great Britain, have
been few.
Belfast, which is about the same
distance from French bases as GlaS-
gov, likewise has been the object
of few bombingS, and also like Glas-
gov these have been made only re-
Gently. Yet Belfast and Glasgow
are two leading centerS of ship
building, whose launCnings strength
en- Britain's position in the battle
of the Atlantic.
Thus, there is some evidence that
German bombers capable of long
flights, either are considerably linz
tied in numbers or else Germany has
a serious deficiency in pilots cap
able of long distance operations
at night. The Germans conceal their
losses while the British are more
open in their admissions. There has
never been any indication that
British skill in the air is inferior
to the German, SO it may be con-
cluded the damage tC Bremen and
Hamburg at least equals that done
to British ports.

RAF in Greatest
Raids Of War on
Vital Nazi Ports
BY BYRON TAYES

LONDON, May 8. CUP)-Between
300 and 400 British bombing planes,
including the latest type from the
United States, rained bombs on
Germany's great ports and indus
trial centers during the night, and
paid incidental attention to Ber-
lin. 1t was Britain's biggest air raid
of the war.
Hamburg and Bremen, Germany's
great ports on the North Sea, were
the chief targets in an aerial Of
fensive constituting a retort to the
heavy German starvation" raids
on Britain.
Hamburg had been raided Tues
day night and Bremen wednesday
night.
Emden, a big North Sea naval
base and, like Hamburg and Brem-
en-, also a submarine base, was
bombed heavily also and some bombs
were dropped on the German capi-
tai.
The first formal announcement
of the record-breakine raid came in
brief authoritative statement:
Hamburg and Bremen were
heavily attacked last night when
the bomber command sent record
number of aircraft to Germany.
Subsidiary attacks also were
made on Berlin, Emden and several
other targets"
1t was understood that the Royal
air force used nearly twice as many
bombing planes as it mad ever used
before, in its smashing attack on
some of the most important targets
in Germany.
In the previous record raid, sew
eral weeks ago, it was understood
that between $50 and 200 planes
had been used in bombing Hamburg

Clever Acts
To Evade
Draft Nipped
Doctors Defeat Schemes
Of Many Dodgers
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. ID

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID
WE ARE beginning to get
w crops Of stories among the
doctors on draft evaders.
One that have heard lately
Is that a doctor was examining
draftee for the army.
Read the letters on that
chart" said the doctor.
"What chart?" asked the
prospective soldier.
The examiner said:
"Sit down in that chair, take
your time and look ut the
chart"
The draftee said:
"What chair"
The doctor left the office In
the afternoon and went to the
movies and when the lights went
up he was sitting next to the
young man he had examined
that morning.
Quick as a flash the young
man turned to him and asked:
Does this bus stop at Thirty
ninth and Main:"
We had lots Of experience in
World War l with fellows who
weren't mad and didn't want to
fight if they could get out of it.
1t was a hard job TO catch
them and il was very interest
ing to see some Of the clever
tricks used.
THE best detector Of malinger-
l. ing that l ever knew was an
ocuiist.
When he sent for a man who
claimed to have bad eyes. he
would be seated at a desk and
pretend 10 be busy writing.
He would say:---.----------
Hang your hat on that nail"
The soldier would do so, and
he would say:
Examination concluded"
This was startling to the sol
der who wanted TO get out of
the army, but was based on the
fact that the doctor had care
fully measured the size of the
nail and if the man had good
enough eyes TO see so small an
object at that distance. there
was nothing wrong with his
eyes.
Another dodge was for the
examiner 10 drop a small instru-
ment on the floor and the SOL
der. in an effort TO please,
would quickly pick ii up.
Now the object was so small
that at the distance from the
floor to the eyes of a man 5
feet 8 inches in height, it would
not be possible to see it with
poor eyesight.
TN MY hospital we had a whole
i group of men who claimed to
have backache.
They were all rounded up and
taken to the parade ground.
They were the saddest looking
bunch I have ever seen.
They all seemed to be in in

Cling along. with arms hanging

We made a great show of ex-

arranged artillery charge was

began to run in all directions, all
