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."
