Britons Look, On AirFighting f : v As Sport;, Says German Critic

THE HAGUE," Netherlands, Aug." 2. Interesting comparisons of British, French and German methods of airfighting were made recently by Gen

eral Von Hoeppner, Commander of the German flying forces In an Interview 'with the Berlin correspondent of the

Holland News Bureau. General Von Hoeppner admitted that the air forces of the Entente Allies were superior oa the western front and In the Balkans, but eald .that on the eastern front the German, airmen outnumbered their adversaries. Mere superiority in numbers,-however, he professed to believe, meant

nothing -when compared with the qual

ity of machines and of tne men flying them. He added : Takes Rap at French.

The Frenchman is obviously not to

be placed on a par with our airmen from the point of view of morale, but

it is just in flying the Briton proves that he Is of German race and, there

fore has a love of fighting. In general the Frenchman only attacks when he feels himself numerically superior. He avoids a fight under equal conditions. The Briton seeks the combat. The Frenchman only atacks once; If the first attack be unsuccessful, he immediately retires. The Englishman, on the other hand, fights till he or his opponent goes under. In their Spad aeroplanes of 200 horse-power, and .the British Sopwlth triplanes. they possess splendid machines which mostly equal our best machines. "More important, however, than the superiority of the machines is that of the crews. The enemy battle airmen are just as much up to their job as ours. That is not so, however, in reconnoltering airmen. In" the case of the French, their training, which Bhould be of a purely military character, is mediocre ; while the British it is even Inferior. Here are to be found the deeper causes of the better perfonnancs of our fliers. "To Britishers flying Is a sport, the climax whereof is a fight They seek the combat regardless of the question whether the carrying out of the charge entrusted to them renders thia necessary of not. The German Is 'first of all a soldier, who looks upon every flight as a military operation, and that decides his line of conduct. Our proportionately smaller losses, therefore, show that our-.,commanders are too good soldiers to set their airmen impossible tasks. '"' " "Moreover, the airmen are not. seat out singly, for the fulfillment of military tasks is more important than all spirit of sport and all bravery. The century-old German military tradition cannot be caught . up by the three years' warfare of the British." An final Inquiry as to whom the Germans prefer to meet as enemies elicted , the response: "That is a question which may not be put: It is not the .sporting achievement, but the fulfillment of the charge in hand, that Is ' the main thing. With us every soldier wants to be a Boelcke the death of his comrades does not frighten him."

American Diplomat Sees Good Relations Between Two Nations

TOKIO, Aug. 2. Sumner Welles, secretary of the American Embassy at Tokio, who is returning to the United States on leave, was the guest of honor last night at a dinner given by the American community and in a speech, Mr. Welles, referring to the relations between Japan and the United States, said that if the time for the cessation of unworthy suspicions has not come one might well despair of Its ever arriving. "To-day," he declared, "the American people and the Japanese people are fighting together in a common cause. Everything is propitious for a closer friendship than ever before. I, for one, believe implicitly that all that is necessary for that desired end is a clearer vision a greater striving for mutual undestanding."

Looking 'Em Over

On The Boards 1

"Seven Keys to Baldpate," the play that George M. Cohan has built from the story of the same name by Earl Derr Biggers, and which is being presented here at the Murray this week,, Is a farce of seven kinds. It is in two acts that Is one kind. It Is original that is the second kind. It is melodramatic that is the third kind. And there are four other kinds, to say nothing of a prologue and an epilogue that are thrown in for good measure. "Seven Keys to Baldpate" as a play Is continually thrilling and continuously laughable, and critics agree that it is by far the most ingenuous work we have had from the gifted pen of the genius of the American stage.
