HEIR SERVICE IS VERY IMPORTANT r.fantry Is Not Disposed To Stand Against A Birdman Who Comes At Then With a Machine Gun. Om of the most interesting features if modern warfare, writes the editor if a British Aerial Journal, is the use f low flying aeroplanes to attack roops on the ground. In this partiular work aircraft becomes in realiy the "cavalry of the air." When fiat phrase was coined most people nerely thought that aeroplanes wouiu lo the scouting work which used to ? done by cavalry when armies had lanks round which it was possible lor . avalry to travel, and few believed hat it was possible for aeroplanes to airy out the actual offensive work vhich in open warfare used to be lone bj raiding parties of cavalry in he rear of armies. Now that it is impossible to get ound the flanks of an army, owing artly to the enormous size ol armies hemselves and also to their extreme nobility, thanks to motor transport ir.il perfected i ail way systtms. ob iously the only thing is to go over hi in, and that is why aeroplanes ire now performing the functions of avalry. Reasonably Safe. When the idea was first suggested t was considered that the casualties imoiig aviators employed in this way vould be so high, owing to the tire of illi'S and machine guns oi) the ;round. that it would practically be mpossible to find enough men or nue bines to do the work. In practice it ieems that the casualties among low lying aviators are rather lower than hose among fighting pilots who are inployed to oppose other aeroplanes n the higher atmosphere. The ronton stems to be the very simple one hat where two machines are fighting ?uh other they both tly at approxinalely the same speed, and conseluently offer one another a reasonilile good mark, whereas an aeroilane traveling at some-thing well iver 100 miles per fiour offers a very >oor mark indeed to a man with a ifle who is standing still on the [round.

There is no reary patrol work, no anxious watchrig of the sky for enemy machines, r at any rate very little of It: in act, the low-flying game has almost xartly the same dash and excitement rhich used to be connected with a avalry charge. Simple Machines. Moreover, machines for this partlc laid Indeed to do any considerable lamage. It seems In fact that shooing aeroplanes with an ordinary seriee rifle is rather more difficult than hooting pigeons with a rook rifle. A Pleasing Change. So far as one can gather, the avittors themselves regard what some of hem call "ground-straftlng" as being luite a pleasing change from fighting nemy aviators in the higher levels. 2ven admitting that the risks taken >y the low-flying pilots are as great A those taken by the pilots in a tightng patrol, there is considerably more ctivity and interest in ground work. To begin with, targets are more easily ound, and, when found, are considrably bigger and more easily hit than yhen a man baa to patrol the Bky perhaps for hours constantly on the lookout for an enemy. When a big attack is in progress, it is absolutely certain that masses of troops and transports will be found on any main road, and there are very few troops who can stand without breaking formation with a fast aeroplane flying straight it them, pumping out a stream ol .bullets. It is not surprising that pilots find even a certain amount of humor in seeing a solid column of men break up and tumble precipitately into the litchos at the side of the road on the tppearance of one lonely little aviator. Surnrised General and Staff. In the days before ground-straffing wis developed as a regular branch of nilitary tactics, one of our machines liad been out on reconnaissance in the farly morning, and on its way home *an Into such a thick fog that the jilot considered that the safest thing ,o do was to fly home along one of the >ig main French roads, knowing that n this way he would be certain of his vhereabouts, and reckoning that owng to the thickness of the fog he vould disappear into it long before iny infantry he might meet would lave time to Are at him. As he was earing along the roads just about evel with -the tree tops, he suddenly nine upon a German general, compete with gilded staff, apparently rcurning from an early tour of inspeoion near the front lines. According o the observer of the machine, the itaff promptly fainted and fell off heir horses, while the general hlmlelf, after one look of horrified suririse, set spurs to his horse and raced lown the road in the direction from vhich the aeroplane had come. Acording to the observer, he and his >ilot nearly fell out of the machine aughing. but the pilot, knowing that lis petrol was running short, eonInued on his homeward way, instead if turning round to have a shot at the lismounted staff. The Morel Effect. The amount of damage actually lone by low flying aviators, is, of oursc, impossible to estimate, but hey cannot be very great, because .viators are numbered in tens where nfantrymen are counted in thouands. But the moral effect is very onsiderable, and certainly does delayhe arrival of fresh troops and of nunltions and food. For ground-sttafflng an aviator leeds considerably less training than ic does for any other branch of flyug. So long as he has plenty of pluck nd endurance practically all he needs s to be able to fly well and shoot traight. He does not need the exensive and prolonged military trainng of the artillery spotter or of the econnaissance observer and 'pilot, lor does he need the acrobatic eduation of the ordinary high-level flghtrtg pilot, nor yet the scientific teachag of the really skillful bombropper. Practically all he has to do ? to pitch himself into the flght, drop is numerous small bombs from low ular class of work are comparative easily and cheaply built, and it even poslhle to use some of the old types of machines, which would n now be suitable for high-level flgh ing. So long as a machine is fast ai easily pitched about it does exct lently for ground-straffing, yuick and easily controlled machines li Sopwith "Pups" or Martinsyde "El Phants" or some of the older Bristt and Havillands come in quite w for this work, although they ha since been superseded for high flyii by newer and improved types ot t same British designers. In these da the British aeroplane manufactur is more man justirying an me iai that wa.s placed in him years ago those who knew his capabilities, that, while the latest Hritlsh aer planes are more than able to Uiet th? best enemy machines in the hig est altitudes, even obsolescent m chines are capable of doing valual "cavalry" work near the ground. DISCONTENT Some of the Thinga Growing out This Frame of Mind. The discontent of Columbus disco ered America. The discontent of Cyrus W. Fie spanned the Atlantic ocean with t cable. The discontent of Alexander Graha Hell gave us the telephone. The discontent of Klias Howe ga us the sewing machine. The discontent of Guglletno Marco gave us the wireless telegraphy. The discontent of the Wright brot era gave us the flying machine, whii it is hoped will Anally win the wai The discontent of the American pe pie. of the thirteen struggling colonii in our early history gave us the Dec! ration of Independence and our d inocracy. Discontent has built our cities, o civilization; has pushed humanity i from the Hottentots to the . l.incoli the Kdisons. Discontent has registered in the pa lent otfice in Washington a thonsai ilovices under Kdison's name. Discontent has done all the gre things which have ever heen done the world.

Birth of Express Company Idea. William Frederick Harnden, when mere youth, often worked sixtei hours a day in the office of the Bo ton and Worchester Railroad. In 181 he went to New York for a short rei There were at that time in tl United States about 2,818 miles railroad. N'ow we have close to 25( 000, but our subject is not pf railroad but men with the rich, red blood wi There was no express company those days, so Harnden said to a friei "an express or package-carrying cc cern is a necessity?I will be one." Harnden bought a couple of ex! large and heavy carpet bags and a nounced that he was in the errn running business, and would transpi parcels between Boston and New Yc or between intermediate points, at i markably low prices; in fact his pri was so low |>eople thought it was hoax. However the idea took. The pe pie wanted it. It was now possible send goods with some surety of tlv reaching the desired point in a re sonable time, instead of waiting un some good-natured traveler, or sta driver came along and agreed to ma the delivery, as was the custom befc Harnden sprung his idea. A certain store in the west, whi utilizes the express service, plac this label on all packages: "It is our purpose that every trai action with this store shall elth make a permanent friend or strengt en one previously made. If for a reason this transaction has not accoi plished either of the above, we ha failed in our duty in some partlculi and we will thank you for calling o attention to any shortcoming.

He hn? nroved this to his R er own satisfaction by actual trial. Nay, ld more, he backs hia assertion with the L testimony of friends. ,le At the risk, possibly, of losing those hc friends, he invited a number of them 0 to dine with him. It was a dinner of ld thirty covers, and the piece de rede sistance was cat. It was supposed to be a rabbit dinr" ner. Everybody enjoyed it "But," 84 ok says Mr. Poponoe, "after.we had pushan T7 ed back our chairs and had lighted* X our after-dinner cigars I told them." ? f It was a psychological moment. ln Each guest, in turn, spoke- frankly. 1 j" Some said that It had occurred to 3 them that the "rabbit" was of an odd iy flavor?"tasted funny," as they ex- ~ ' pressed it The majority, however, ^ st' declared their approval. One confessed to stomach qualms, but these did w >8 not. develop until he was told that he tr M had been eating cat For authorative scientific judgment Gj the matter was referred to "Old Doc" nt Wiley. He had eaten no cat but was 00 !lr ready with a decision. What he said ^ was: re e_ "Cat meat is as nutritious as rabbit Sc >h or beefsteak. It Is Jot as good as rabbit and ought to be equally palat- 0I al able. The prejudice against it is pureIn ly psychologic. By eating cats we ca of could conserve the meat supply, and. te* Incidentally, the expense of feeding th la the animals Would be saved." gi' Dr It is estimated that in any urban ^ n community there to at least one est for every three persona In rural . " v istricts the proportion is certainly noi ess. Thus one may assume that It he Uinted States there are about 35. 00.000 cats. An enterprising householder, eco lomical at the butcher's, can suppl; lis family with all needed meat bj rapping cats. Nothing could bi asier. At the same time, there ii lothing anybody could do that is bet er calculated to engender neighbor lood hostilities. Mr. Poponoe has found it that way Vhat he has sought for food purpose las been street cats?vagrant animal hat are more or less of a nuisance ii iny community. But his neighbor lave believed that their pets were ii langer. Anxious and angered, they havi rone so far as to hale him into thi iolice court. But the police Judgi aid that he could find no law agains ating cats. It was even suggested that Mr 'oponoe's propaganda offered evi ence of mental derangement.
