ARCRAFT TO PLAY BIG PART IN FUTURE WARS (Continuea From Page 1) put whole tank crews out of action by shocks. Many experts claim that the next war will last but a week or two at the most. There will be one or two enormous explosions, they say, and then the war will be over. | Guns and gases—the guns firing projectiles which on bursting will dis- charge death-dealing Yumes over huge areas, gases released from enormous spheres which will be loosed by the opposing armies—these will be the principal factors in the land war. The air is of course a different field. Armies will have little or no chance when the great bombs come whistling down from the skies. For that reason special air intelligence planes—heavily armored and fitted with the latest radio devices—will be attached then to the land armies in order to warn them when the enemy planes are winging on their way above them, As soon as the warning is received, the land armies will make -for their tanks and their portable steel tunnels. When they are caught by surprise there will be no hope. Down will come the bombs. Thousands will perish, blown to pieces by the high explosives, or left dying only to be finished off by the “last touch” ma- chines which will, knowing ones say, deluge the blasted areas with poison gases. . Later at night the “‘quicklime plahes” will drone overhead smother- ing the area with quicklime—destroy- ing even' the deag where their frag- ments lie. . Electric Heat Blasts Giant guns with ' hundred mile ranges will fire electric heat blasts setting fire to the cornfields and towns in the enemjes’ country. On the sca experts tell us that we dre to expect battles much as they were in the last war—only intensified in horror a hundred times by the teriffic hitting and piercing power of the projectiles. ' The air here, too, will play a large part. Indeed it is highly probably that a fleet action will ‘be fought in the air above the warring fleets, the victors swooping down on the enemy battleships and monster submarines, sinking them with their huge bomibs. But the long suffering civilian will have the most unenviable time. Un- able to fight, chained to his job, in office or on the soil, he must wait patiently for one of the thousand deaths which the war gods will deal out. With his food supplies reduced to minimum, the very animals of the fields destroyed by poison and shell fire his lot will be a terrible one. Then the plague makers will come on the scene. These highly trained scientists will take a flight’ upwards . over the ecnemies already depleted country and let fall numerous’ little glass boxes which gerin laden will ‘cause while states to die of plague.

There are 400,000 described specles of insects against the single human species, says a writer in the New York Journal. The human species has less than 2,000,000,000 individuals in the whole world; while a single housefly may in the course of a summmer have 6,000,000,000 descendants fighting for existence against every kind of com- petitor, including themselves. It is true that the life of the insect 18 brief, but that fect is more than -counterbalanced by the effect of num- bers. A hundred thousand ants, or perhaps only 10,000, could kill a man. A swarm of bees, guided by a fixed common purpose, could disable or probs ably kill a man or several men. Ex- plorers have been routed hy mosqui- toes. Great arens 8f fertile country have been rendered uninhabitable by the Incessant attacks of blood-sucking insects. But the warfare between man and his insect competitors Is only to a small degree waged at the point of the bayonet; It is generally a struggle for the means of subsistence. Man has many times been beaten by locusts de- vouring his pastures, meadows and buzzers in the alr, moths with wings Alke silver down and caterpillars with briiliant regimental stripes flutter about the gardens and orchards and march up and down the trees and shrubs, either devouring as they go devourers will spring, The Insect is a most efficlent ally of the disense germ. It is his potson gas with which he undermines the strength of his chief enemy, the oniy one intelligent enough to comprehend him and effectively to combat him.

In a Spiritual Sense, According, to Magazine Writer, Country Dass Not Rank High. Are the people of the United States truly great? Great we are in material things; great in world power. But what when, like the other great po- litical entities of the past, our na- tion, too, “goes west”? What will have been our national contribution to the sum total of human happiness, which, in the last analysis, means “gpiritual” happiness? asks Lindsey Blayney in the North American Review. With the eyes of the world centered upon us, the mighty colossus of mod- ern _political history, can we point to any nonmaterial achievement which will be termed by a grateful poster- ity the spiritual bequest ' of the United States of America to the sum total .-of - highest human igood? - Im rt, literature, I and_ science. SURE, WELL DROP th’ P e YA LIKE A FREIGHY APLES VEHRE achievements, while commendable, have not been outstanding. In none of these fields of human endeavor have we assisted man to take a great on- ward and upward step on the slow and toflsome journey towara his ultimate destiny; in none of thege departments have we given to man a sSpigitual as- set which will go far toward lifting him above the commonplace realities and sordid selfishness of everyday life. In a word, the highest idealism of the United States has not yet expressed itself in immortal terms in auy or these fields.
