The past 11 months of warfare have jllustrated how the air force works. In ain operation like the Polish ‘campaign, the army would request a certain number of planes and anti-aircraft batteries for local reconnaissance, artillery observation and protection These units would be temporar= ily detached by the high commana and placed under direct command of the army. Meanwhile, the main body of the air force would be operating in its own sphere, bombing enemy lines of communications and air bases and fighting enemy airplanes mn an operation over diffieult ss a body of water, as in the Norwegian campaign, the air force would be closely ¢o= the navy as well as with the arm) In a mixed campaign, involving Jand as well as water operations, as in the western offensive against France and Great Britain, air power would be used constantly both independently and in ¢oordination with land and sea forces. At the outset of the drive, acting in its own realm, the air foice would strike en masse against en= emy air bases with a view to seiz= ing air superiority at once If success met this attempt, large units might then be detached for army service to aid ground forces to smash their way deeper nto enemy territory. Always, however, function of the moment, the air force is co-operating with its brother services in driving toward some zpecific strategic objective, “> # N France, apart fiom its “nor= . mal duties,” the air force was called upon to attack enemy land troops and bomb enemy tank con= centrations and fortifications, The air "orce’s anti-aireraft battories were employed against en= emy tanks and even warships as well as against enemy airplanes. Im all instarces the greatest flexibility of operation was main= tained. There was no adherence to set schemes of action merely for the schemes sake . As the Army moves into enemy territory, the air force moves along with it.

Deputies Unable to Serve Ghost With That Subpena

LOS ANGELES, July 28 (U. P.). —Two deputy sheriffs appeared in Judge Clement Nye's court today to report that they have been unable to serve a subpena upon Sheland Shaimond, alias Sho-Sha, a ghost. The apparition testify in the contested divorce case of Mrs. Lillian Boyce. Her husband, Dr. Willham A. Boyce, a wealtiyy eve specialist, has named the ghost as co-respondent and says he has stolen his wife's love. S. 8S. Hahn and W. O. Graf, Dr Boyce's attorneys, have insisted that Sho-Sha is essential to their case, If the deputies were unable to serve the summons, they said, they would ask permission to stage a “concentration” in court— to darken the room, set a trumpet on a table before the Judge's bench and try to question Sho= Sha through it Dr. Boyce
