28 YOUNG AIRMEN INCUR ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITIES French Aviator Says Detailed Sears of All Works of Enemy Is Needed The vast responsibilities which de volve upon youthful airmen before a successful infantry attack can be made on the western front are set forth by an experienced French avi ator in the following communication to the National Geographic Society, issued from the society's Washing ton headquarters as a war geography bulletin: "The time has passed when one could make an improvised attacK upon the enemy, relying upon supe rior numbers and the morale of the attacking troops to gain the victory. "To search out. in all their details, the defensive works of the enemy , (barbed-wire entanglements, trenches, blockhouses), the position of all bis batteries; to lacte the trails, rail ways, munition and supply depots and headquarters of the comman ders; such is the work to be per formed by the scout planes before every offensive operation. "To direct the tiring of all the ar tillery, whose task is to destroy the barbed-wire entanglements and the batteries; to locate the trails, rail and destroy the larger part of them, I to set on fire the munition depots within its range, to prevent or ren der perilous any passing along the roads and railways, to delay traffic in the supporting railway stations; to control the destruction of objec tives and the efficacy of long-range firing such are the principal tasks of the scout planes during the pre paratory period of an attack. PrK r am Depend* on Kyew "Moreover, they assume the enor mous responsibility of the faithful execution of this program, which is carried out entirely through the in termediation of their eyes. "Finally, on the day of attack, if they who, llying at a low attitude over the assaulting waves of the in fantry, signal its progress to the su perior command; it is thejy* who dis cover the active batteries and re duce them to silence by causing them to come under destructive fire; it is they who cause the dispersion of wagon trains and troop columns ven turing along the roads and trains near the battlefield; it i 9 they who watch for the possible launching of a counterattack, always to be feared, and which they must announce at the right moment to the infantry and to the commander in charge. "Thanks to the promptness of their reports, sent by radio, the com mander is enabled to make his au thority felt during the progress of the operation. When, in the midst of the hazard of battle, the energies of the combatants become scattered, causing confusion and disorder, the scout planes, by the accuracy of their reports, permit the harmonizing of effort necessary to the final victory. "To describe the airplanes used in scouting, the details of their arma ment and the devices with which they are equipped, would carry me beyond the limits of my space. Evi dently it is the obse.rver who must have charge of the mission of recon naissance, of photography, of artil lery adjustment, or of infantry com munications; but he is aided by the pilot, whose skill and decision con tribute in no small measure to the successful development of the aerial task. "This, then, is a brief sketch of the immense task of the scout avia tors. You can understand why both France and Germany first organized this class, so indispensable for con ducing land operations, offensive as well as defensive." Twins Born in Two Different Maine Towns Auburn, Me.—The twin cities of I_ewiston and Auburn have the dis tinction of having for the first time twins born, one to the credit of each city. These two infants are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Brown, of 350 Main street, this city, and are their lirst progeny. The twins are boys, neither has yet seen the 'other and the mother lias not seen'the first. The elder was born and has al ways lived in Auburn—a matter of a few days—and the younger was born in Lewiston and has always liv ed in that city. The former arrived in the Brown home and has never basked in the limelight; the other was born in a hospital and is the pride of the whole institution, doc tors and nurses alike. Neither is yet named, but Senior will always have the call on Junior because he arrived on earth an hour earlier. Mr. Root Argues Well Pro or Con, Is Tribute \>w York.—Glihu Root's ability as a lawyer was conceded in peculiar fashion ln the Supreme Court by an attorney opposed to him in an action which was being argued before Jus tice Guy. A dispute over 1,400 shares of American Sugar Refining Com pany stock brought Mr. Root into court. When Mr. Root had finished his argument, Anson McCook Beard, attorney for the plaintiff, arose and remarked: "In another action which came up before the Appellate Division Mr. Root argued forcibly that we should be on the equity side of the court. Now that we are suing on the equity side, the Senator just as ably argues that our action ought to be one In law." • When both lawyers finished Justice Finch said he was inclined to agree with Mr. Root, but said he would ex amine papers submitted and announce his decision later. Mother Gets Married So Son Can Lick Kaiser Bill Kantian City, Mo.—"Ma, why don't you and Henry get married, so I can help lick the Kaiser?" This question, put to a mother by her strapping son, her only support, caused the woman to say "yes" when Henry asked her the momentous question for the "steenth" time. And the son is now ln the Army. The woman who told the story ap peared at the license bureau here with her intended. She told the clerk the story: "I'm going to get married again so my son can go to war. After his father died he has helped me all he possibly could. He is so anxious to get Into the aviation service, but ho thought I needed his help. Henry here has been hanging around a long time. asking me to marry him."
