"The German seldom displayed anything approaching genius in bis methods of carrying on war in ihe air, but his display of sound common sense has been truly remarkable," observes C. O. Gray, editor of The Airplane," writing In the Illustrated London News. "One may fairly siay that, lacking originality of any kind, the German ' xs a genius for the ob- vious." And he continues: â€" "When Zeppelins raided England early in the war there were no anti- aircraft defences of any kind, and the Germans knew it perfectly well. There were no guns, no night-flying airplanes and no ammunition suit- able for use against airships. There- fore the German did the obvious thing, and raided London at will. The really surprising thing is that he was so long thinking about it be- fore he started. And it is still more surprising to find how little damage he did. "Then, when the London anti-air- craft defences began to develop and he began to lose a few airships, he gave London up as a bad job and took to wandering about the country seeking for any big town on which to drop bombs. "Then, when the anti-aircraft do- fences became well developed all over the country, the German left England alone for a period. The air- sliipK which he then possessed could not rise above 10.000 to 12,000 feet, where they were easily reached by airplanes and comparatively easily reached by airplanes and compara- tively easily seen by gunners on the ground. Therefore, the German did the obvious thing and used his Zep- pelins for scouting at sea and for raiding undefended places in the eastern war area, such as Bucharest and places with impossible names in Russia. "Meantime he turned his genius for ilie obvious on to the task of building new types of Zeppelin which would fly faster and rise higher. "When the German had produced half a dozen or so of sucli machines he waited for a suitable night, so misty that it was impossible to use searchlights, and he sent them over to bomb London. Unfortunately for the German, the mist w^as particular- ly thick in the vicinity of London and he failed to find his objective. The general officer commanding London aircraft detente area, having a gen- ius for the unobvious, instead of turning on vain searchlights and il- luminating the fog for the benefit of the German, or letting his guns fire at the sound ot engines, and thus disclose th^* position of London, acted like the gt^ntleman in Mr. Kipling's story and 'lay powerful doggo.' so that the German failed to find Lon- don at all â€" all except one of him who drifted across by sheer luck and dropped three fairly innocuous bombs. "Meantime all the airships cruised about and burned much petrol. As they returned they were chased up high by gunfire and airplanes near the coast, where the air was clearer. There the ships ran into a strong wind from the north, which drove them down to the centre of France. Kor various good reasons their di- rectional wireless apparatus failed there, so most of them kept on steer- ing rtist and drifting south till at daybreak they had used all their fuel and found themselves still over France. Whereupon the lost ships landed and all except one were de- stroyed by ilieir crews. Two or three of the whole fleet only escaped with difllculty back lo CJeruiany. "This was another lesson to the German, who is always anxiou.s lo learn. So he worked out a new plan of campaign. It seems that his u\<v. was to cruise ovei- the North Sea at night â€" a dark night for prefer- ence â€" and make little dashes at coast towns which he believed to be only lighily defended, or which had been left in peace so long that their defenders had gone to sleep. Having dropped a few bombs, and thus liav- Ing lightened himself considerably, so that he could go up high, he pro- ceeded lo wander about the country at a considerable altitude, where he could be heard and not seen, hop- ing to terrorize munition centres. "From the German's point of view the Kcheme was obviously sensible, and he kepi it up till be lost a few of bis nice new 'high level' airship.s through their Heeting airplan.s which could fly higher still. That completed the activities of Germany in the air during the war." llravo Cliildi-en. "I thought I had told you every- thing." says Mrs. June R. Lucas in her book called "The Children of France." "1 haven't. To-day at 11 was almost the most thrilling mo- ment of all at Evian. .Sir hundred and eighty lielgian children arrived on Ihe morning train. Two-thirds of them had been taken from their par- ents because their fathers would not work tor the Germans. Those poor children, thin, sickly looking, alone, calling 'Vive la France,' then 'Vive la Belgique,' for Ihe first time in throe years! How they ate! They Just stuffed that good dinner. I shall never forget their hands, little bird- like claws, so thin, and when they sang they waved those pathetic lit- tle hands. Such a column of song as came from them: 'Le rot, la loi, la liberte!' No one could bear It; the French, the Americans, the Belgian otUcials who had come to receive them, all stood with tears on their facets. " Denotes Prlvliego Title. "Von" before a name in German denotes a privilege title, either in- herited or bestowed by a monarch \ipon his subject for nieritorious ser- vices. While formerly this prellx was found In millttiry or feudal funiilies only, many commoners, caii- t.tins of industry, scieuti.sts, finan- ciers anil artists were so honored 6y their monarchs. The title la either hereditary or ceases with the death of the distinguished person. The great calhedral whiih stands near the national palace in the city Of Mexico has sixteen bell towcis.
