He Believes the First Step in a European War Would Be a Gigantic Battle of the Armies of the Ain,

| INCINNATI, O., Sept. 27.—If the hellward trend in Burope goes fo its worst conclusion, war bee | tween the democracies and Burope, what will be the first step? The answer must be something of a guess because there is no pat military precedent for a clash of mass armies equipped at the very outset with great | armadas of the air. Air fighting was and | gradual development in the World War. In its bee ginning aviators were merely observers. Toward the end, the new strategy and tactics of aerial combat had been well developed but the flying forces were ine | sighificant in comparison with those today of France, | England, Czechoslovakia and Russia-—maybe—on the one hand, and Germany and Italy—perhaps—on the | other. There is ho precedent in China because the Chinese never had an important air force. There is none in | Spain where there have been insufficient concentiae 101s to serve as an example.

| |

” ” n

UT in this possible case there are actual air ame ies, maybe 10 to 12 thousand planes oh a side. Of how they will fight nobody can be quite sure. One much emphasized use of an air force is t | tack industrial areas thus paralyzing supply and “breaking the morale” of the eivil population. Ane | other certain putpose is to use the air force to ob | Serve enemy movements and to keep him from obServing your own. Finally, there is the use of aircraft as a fighting force against troops on the ground. The best defense | against any of these uses is to drive off or destroy the enemy's air force. | Here we get back to basic tactioal principles which | Bre very old and well understood. Before aircraft, the military branch that was used for at least two of these puiposes was the cavalry. Tis job was to screen the front of the army, to obtain information of the enemy and even to raid behind his lines. The first | clash of arms was usually a cavaliv combat. The | essential principle was to seek and if possible de | Stroy the enemy cavally force as rapidly as possible,

0 alt=

® T seems almost certain that exactly this principle will apply to air forces in any such a stupendous | clash as mow threatens. Therefore, before a mass assault on any of these strongly fortified lines, we can expect, I believe, the first and greatest air-battie on & massive scale in the history of the world. Nations are not very frank in giving information about military and maval aircraft. But Crechoslos vakia alone is supposed to have 2500 oxoellent: fight ing | ships and while Germany may have four or five | thousand, she would have no superiority against the | combined British, French and Czechoslovakian squadrons. That is a fact that makes Hitler's swashbuckling seem so Tash and dangerous. If, the first aerial onslaught, ‘Germany should lose her airfleet or have it wo badly crippled that the command of the air would pass to her enemies, her chances of victory | could be cut in half in a single week. The air arm has become so important that it may now be like a great naval fleet, a threat rather than a weapon, the “fieet in being” even mole important | than the fleet victorious but hopelessly crippled. Be | that as it may, Der Fuehier is certainly shooting craps with destiny.

Watching Your Health

B¥ this time many hundreds o ousands of people have had their tonsils removed, and it has become possible to sum Wp In general the end-resulls of obliteration of the tonsils. In cases in which there is chronic inflammation or infection of the tonsils and adenoids, it has been found that removal has a good effect on the general health. Moreover, there are fewer instances of sore throat and disturbances of the nose and chest. The ¢hild who breathes constantly through the mouth because of the presence of tonsils or adenoids will be found after their removal to breathe through the nose. This has an excelient effect not ony on the childs frame of mind, but also in aiding sleep and improving the individuals appearance. Much has been written in the publie prints about the method of removal of the tonsils, Such methods include not only surgical removal, or removal by the use of dissection, and final removal by a snare, bus also the use of the electric coagulation or diathermy method. Im certain people for whom the taking of an | anesthetic or even the period required for surgical removal might be serious, the electric coagulation method is now recommended.

It is not recommended generally, however, because | it is tedious. Only a small portion of the tonsils can be removed at one time, so that five or six or even more visits to the doctor may be necessary. More recently there has been exploited the use of X-ray and of radium for removal of the tonsils. It | is not at all established that treatment of tonsillitis by X-rays is a method that will actually heal the tonsils or prevent disease.
