WAR TO BE WON IN AIR, United States Should Have a Fleet \ By Spring. % ' ; r1 j? "The big need in France is for air? ? ~ ? oimlonoc nnirV Flv v praues aua ? eiybody over there asks when they are coming and how many. This country ought to have a fleet of fighting planes in the air by spring." This is the opinion of Major Robert W. yWood, the eminent physicist who was sent abroad in September by the United States government at the invitation ofx the French government to study scientific problems connected With the conduct of the war. Major Wood returned last week and for the present will devote his tjime to work ill this country. * v "It is not possible to emphasize this fact too strongly," continued f Major Wqpd. "I believe the war will be won in the air and that in the * future offensive tactics will play as great a part as the work of observation, but I am not at liberty to speak . ' of these matters. "One thing about which much popular misapprehension exists, hojvever, , is fighting in the air. People immagine that airplane duels are everyday occurrences. As a matter of fact, they are comparatively rare. Planes J are more apt to avoid each other than to fight. Most of the shelling is done by anti-aircraft guns and when air r\looa ora Menollv cn u^uto laxvu ux v uguwiij uv ' high up as to be invisible to observers on the ground. "Officers' Experience. "I saw an artillery officer who had been on the front for many months and had never seen a fight in the air. When I was outside Nancy one afternoon, just at sunset, I saw a Boche plane come over. It was up in the region where there was still sunlight, and the puffs of smoke from the shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns L were turned to rose color by the glow, f I counted 120 of them, but the Boehe made his get-away. | "The effects of the torpedoes dropi ped from the Gothas are extraordif nary. They go straight down through a seven-story building to the basement, where they explode with a L xl r i T xi x 1 T i uxiiw luse. Any uuuse uia.t uas uetju I liit in this manner acts as an exI plosive- At Nancy I saw a house that had heen struck, and the fragmr mfents of it had wrecked every house in^tfce square on which it stood. I "The anti-aircraft guns are marvelous in their range and comparative accuracy. At St. Clement I saw a Zeppelin that had been brought down from 16,000 feet by an antiaircraft shell. Of course the Zeppelins move more slowly and make much better targets than airplanes. This particular Zeppelin had just 4 * V* - V V'.r,; ' i j r v m been brought do#n and it was still burning. Most of the crew had been carried away, but I saw a hand sticking out from one end. It was a gruesome sight." ' When asked to tell what were just most unforgettable experiences, Major Wood said that two stood out in his memory?a night bombardment by airplanes at Xanc^ and a day at the British front. He continue^ "On our trip to the front we drove in a luxurious limousine down a corduroy road with nine-incn howitzers on both sides firing over our heads. After we had" gone as far as we could we put on steel helmets and gas* masks and walked the rest of the I way. We did not strike any gas, but | the new gases are pretty bad. They are not gases properly speaking, but liquids, that evaporate slowly and give off fumes." Major Wood refused to define the exa.ct nature of the scientific problems that physicists are called upon to solve. Carrier Pigeon's A'alue. "In a general way I may say that some of them consist in devising means of locating batteries and methods of signalling," he said. "It is curious, though; that with all our scientific devices carrier pigeons have been found most effective after all i?n carrying messages to and from the front lines. "I heard a remarkable story about one of these pigeons. It had been struck by a shell splinter and its leg driven up into its body in such a way mk j First Bank of NewYorklj^ N-, ^ From the hand dred thousand atf the tim& of 1 our governmenl practically the of the world is t of New Yorh Ci <[No one of the { national zpetrc careful attenti principles of ba ... 41A savings acc means an eari your money?n< the amount?ai surance of its 4L Get the saving v relief from man va Start a banK acc \ , 4 Per Cent.

"When I was in France I wanted a certain chemi; cal for an important test, and I had j to have it immediately.

So it j is sometimes possible to cut red i tape." "Another thing struck me in ! France, he continued. "The war has not speeded up certain things in France.*. They still take two hours for lunch.
