THE TRANSFORMING FACTOR. The high military authorities in this who explain the ription of the offensive by the extraordin dry progress of the Allies in air warfare have reason on their side," says the Mail, The world stands on the threshold of tremendous events, and the immense power of aircraft, which hitherto was visible only to the eye of faith, now to be demonstrate in the field. We are about to witness one of those trans- formations which come only once in ce turies when a new order of weapon con clusively proves its power.

ས་ In the first stage of the German offen. sire there were signs of the rule which air craft are now going to play. General Pétain stopped the great gap in the Allied line near fiam by directing every avail able Allied machine to that point and ordering the airmen keep back the enemy with machine gun and bomb while the French troops were marching ug

This task was brilliantly performed. The line was held. At the most critical moment in the whole war aircraft pre vented the enemy from using his advant

age.

In the second crisis at Kemmel Hill the Germans were held back for several hours by the work of the airmen. In these two affairs aeroplanes were used, not auxiliaries of other arms, but as an in. dependent arm--as something of a totally

new nature.

SIEGE OF GERMANY..

For two years after we began to build aeroplanes on a considerable scale the Allies refrained from attacking the enemy in his cities. "Now at last they seriously, are beginning the siege of Germany in real

earnest. There is no point in West ern Germany which they will not be able to reach. Instead of blowing up damp of shell it will be much simpler to bomb to destruction the shell and powder fac. tories. We shall carry the war in its mos: demoralizing form into German ter- ritory.'

Have we a sufficient air force to exaggerate that expense to the hint of inanition before the armies have doubtful point which the next week or achieved a "decisive effect? That is the two will resolve. We sincerely trust we have the force, and recent events have given us some hope."

It is an this side, and in this direction, that our main efforts mast tend, but as we man already invade Germany by way of the air, it is obviously our object, subordinate and secondary though this object may be. to penetrate deeper and deeper into Ger. mapy mouth by month, to provoke com- more powerful long-distance bombing petition among constructors to devise squadrons of fast aircraft, and to bring home the war to every palace and hovel in the German Empire. The Azmics come first, and deserve our concentrated and sustained attention, but the air is on broad highway of invasion into the beast of Germany, and nothing can stop us from using this highway when we will.”.

Without counting the figures for the p sent month, which would make the com parison even more telling, we have 60,079 bombs against 4,498 from the enemy- superiority of twelve to one.?

HOW TO DO IT. Sir William Weir, the new British Air Minister, says: -

Let the observers watch artillery arc, the air had combatants to track it and let every enemy machine which rises in shoot it down, let our aeroplanes shell and harass infantry columns, destros convoys, devastate lines of communica tion, and prevent revictualling; let them go on distant expeditions and drop tons of explosives on enemy towns, and a. this with increasing intensity; ani "The recent raids upon the Rhine especially let the BaitedStates bring us towns give a hint of possibilities that quickly their illimitable resources on may turn the aerial service into some fand and sea and in the air-then the thing more nearly approaching a decisive problem as to when the war will end will factor than has been hitherto appreciat|be nearly solved."'

say's the Nation. The raid on London, despite the unbappy casualties, is much more than offset by the raid in Broad daylight on Cologne, and the cumulative effect of the Allied air raids upon Germany is striking and suggestive, While the German armijes have succeeded in invading part of France, the Allied navies have invaded every enemy house hold and factory, and at a certain point aerial supremacy would accentuate this porosity of the field fronts.

War has changed fundamentally, and before the advent of mastery of the sir it would have been possible for Germany to win all the battles without winning the war. But now that something an. proaching real air masters is with us the enemy may lose at Essen, Hanover, and a host of remote towns all that he gains on the battle fronts.

Cologne has remained a fortress, nud that is the salient fact whence comes the necessity for, preparing our nerves withstand unpleasant aerial surprises, Air raids on fortified towns are among war methods which cannot be abolished in a day,

KING GEORGE'S FUND FOR SAILORS.

"A new sort of investment becomes pos. sible; but it is a more terrible one. The Navy and Army attempt to invest from without. The Royal Air Force stakes on an investment from within.
