THE AERIAL APPARITION
"It seems impossible to doubt any longer that the aeroplane is a dangerously accurate weapon, and it appears to lie certain that, as they have the .science and skill, no dolonce, whethei of anti-aircraft guns or lighting’planes can prevent them reaching their objective much more tref|uently than nas the case during the war. But if this latter conclusion is admitted, how fa tall v easy it is going to he in the next war to work upon tho civilian morale. AA'hethor it would have had the effect tho soldiers think is not at all certain, since the war astonished most people by showing that raw youths reared in anaemic urban atmospheres could put up with almost unimaginable horrors of warfare on the AYcstcrn Front. Morale is a spiritual thing, and civilisation appears not so much to have sapped as to have strengthened it. But at the moment the fact to he digested is that we shall recpiirc all our morale unless we determine to abolish war. Tho air menace is real, and no one is immune from it. —Westminster Gazette.
