That's why the Railroads we're ready! That's
why, in America S crisis, the Railroads are

Job Gets Harder

As our onslaught has grown to d.
mansions the world has never seen
before, rising to thousand bomber
raids, and indicting heavier losses
than We ourselves have suffered, our
own Job has become sitter and more
hazardous.
The German defenses are steadily
increasing. Cologne itself is defended
by about 500 guns, both heavy and
light. Berlin has probably got 500
heavy guns in defenses that stretch
forty miles from the capital.
Scalchlight cones are using as
many as fifty lights; one blue search
light acting as pilot and striving to
find the aircraft, and if it succeeds
the remaining fifty passing on to it.
Those searchlights have held the ma
chimes for fifteen minutes. SO deadly
are they that they alone. apart from
any gunfre, can cause it to crash.
250-Mile Belt
There is a belt Of searchlights, for
example, from Emden to Charleroi, a
distance Of about $50 miles, and that
belt is sixty miles wide The Germans
ale using on those ground defenses
fully a million men In addition to all
this are, Of course, the night fighters
and the decoy fires lighted to draw
our bombers to false targets. But
these defenses don't stop us going
to Germany or finding the targets.
Quite the contrary.
The development of this bomber
warfare has naturally enough passed
through different phases. At first
the bombers were superior to the de-
lenses. The bomber captain could fly
low enough to read his map and see
the factories he was hitting
The next phase was one in which
increasing flax forced our aircraft to
higher level For period, the devel-
opment Of defenses surpassed in some
respect the technical skill of the
bombcrs.
Technical Skill
Today the bomber captain must
find his target by means that are not
visual, for he has been forced to fly
much higher. Sometimes, Of course,
he can still get there by map reading
but far oftener, he cannot. The fight
today in this branch Of warfare, as
IN all others, is one of technical de
velopment and skill on either side.
In this new phase in which we are
at present engaged our method is to
bomb by heavy concentrations, so that
a bomb falls on the target every sec
