the cause Of rupture Is usually
the use of laxatives in the pres

the skies is the irreducible first
condition for successful inva-

Examining reports of our

part of 1914. it is clear that as
far as costs in absolute figures
are concerned the Germans had
the advantage No juggling OF

changed in our favor. because
we have been able to expand
the magnitude of the opera
tons. The number of planes
lost in any single attack used
to be roughly 10 per cent. The
number of planes sacrificed is
still the same, but now II repre-
sents roughly 5 per cent Of the
total, since the striking forces
are nearly double in size.
IN THIS - in the scale OF
4 operations-I see the most
encouraging signs of the ap-
preaching victory. We cut our
losses in two or in three when
we double or triple the attack
ing force.
The actual extent of German
industrial losses cannot be
stated in firm figures. The ac-
ton of air power on ground
industrial targets does not show
up Immediately. 1t is latent.
Without knowing the abso-
lutte size of demolition, but with
fairly good indications by recon-
naissance and aerial photog-
raphy, our air leaders can make
decisions as to whether opera
tons are profitable or not in
relation to losses.
Apparently the Anglo meri-
can chiefs of the aerial offen-
sive against Europe are satisfied
both with our ability to replace
losses and with the results
