London.?The progressive effectiveness of the allies, both in the construction of airplanes and In the air flphtinjr, has never before been more cleary proved than In the receriT^operatlon* ?n me western rront. In last month's iffenslve the harrying of German cavilry. marching infnntry and transport *)y low-flying airplanes was the first jxample of a really large scale counter-offensive from the air.

It is routine work for the low-flying |mci ir- !< iiii <ti ii|n uermnn worsing parties far behind the lines with machine Run fire, and when one remembers that the same parties are likely to be bombed in their billets from the air by night, their heart for work may he Imagined, for both day and night the bombing of railways, airdromes, camps and dumps goes on with its simultaneous effect upon supply, communication and morale, and far behind the lines the sources of supply on the Rhine are being persistently devastated. And this is almost by the way. The soldier comes before supply, and It Is the soldier who Is the objective of the low-flying airplane, the soldier who sufTers In person and morale, by the ceaseless bombing of billets. It Is the aggressive air war of the entente which steadily and accumulatively depreciates the morale of the German soldier. MAnd an ammunition dump was blown up."

Here Is just one little Incident told by Lieut. L. Walmsley of the R. A. F, which may serve by way of Illustration : The Germans were reported to be concentrating at the village of X. A little chaser was run out, and the pilot wnirmi to connrin me report, to harass the enemy as much hr possible with machine gun Are; also to use his precious light bombs on the best available target. Ten minutes' flying brings him to the trench lines, and the deafening noise of battle drowns even the sound of the engine. The Germans are attacking and a long, ragged, gray line of piled up corpses, which the airman at first mistakes for sandbags, shows the terrible price they are paying. But sheltering behind this ghastly rampart of human flesh are living Huns, and the pilot dives down until he Is only f>0 feet above them. Then, as he skims over the line, he opens fire with both guns, pouring out n hall of death that soon visibly thickens the Inanimate gray masses. But there Is even more Important work at hand. The village of X la quickly reached. The market square Is crowded with artillery and ammunition carts. Diving to a height of less tfian !W0 feet, the airman drops a bomb, and turns. Just In time to avoid the force of the concussion caused by the tremendous explosion that follows. A direct hit lias been made on the ammunition cnrt. and the havoc wrought in that market squure baffles description. The roads lending backward from the village ore now carefully reconnoitered. There Is no sign of Ufa until n large wood la reached. Here a squadron of Uhlans Is found. A second bomb la landed right in the midst of Them, and In a few seconds the adjoining fields are brown with stampeding horses. The Unloaded Gun.
