To assure the full co-operation of the United States in an air offensive on the scale hoped for, Gen. Brancker recommends thi establishment in this country of a distinct control corresponding to the Air Ministry which in England manages everything which has do with air fighting on land or sea. “It is within the realm of certainty,” declares Gen. Branckcr, “that we can bomb Berlin in the spring, if not in the fall, with a'r planes which we have building, as we have already bombed Cologne | and the Rhine cities, but we have not the numbers for a really bi offensive, in my understanding of the term.” Yew ericans will have to ask themselves how they feel atou an air offeasive which must involve the killing of a considerable number of Germans who do not bear arms. | It was no plan of Allied warfare which began the bombing o school children, the murder of women and old men, the devilish) destru | The people of the United States would have been the last to| tion of helpless non-combatants. regard the deliberate inauguration of such methods as anything bu most despivable violation of the laws of humanity and civilization But German airmen have not only murdered peaceable citiz*i. of London and Paris and continued to murder them, They have done worsv.

With Russia no longer fighting, the selfishness of rman schemes of ex ploitation ia the near east begins to clash with the sordidness of Turkish aims in the same quarter, Strained relations between Germany and its “glorious ally” the Turkish Empire only show the profound truth of the words spoken by the President of the United States last Fourth of July at Mount Vernon: Opposed to them (the Allies), masters of many armies, stand an isolated friendless group of governments who speak no com- mon purpose, but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands, The strength of a Turco-German alliance is directly proportiona te the size and certainty of the loot.

H. ‘Cassel | Stories of Spies By Albert Payson Terhune Covrright, 1918. by The Prose Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), NO. 45.—COL. RIDL; the Spy Who Almost Started the European War Ahead of Time. OL. RIDL was a clever and dashing young officer in the Austrian Army. Also, he was @ man of mystery. To this day mystery hangs avout his deeds, and even about his real name, In 1912 Rid] was sent to Russla by the Austrian Government. He went, apparently, as a military tache of his country’s Legation at Petrograd. But he had much more spending money and fewer duties to perform than fall to the lot of most members of @ diplomatic staff. Ridi used this money and this freedom from duty to mingle freely in the highest military society at the Russian Capital. He made shrewd use of his eyes and his ears. He managed to meet the people | he wanted to meet. And he managed to make those people talk. In brief, this accredited dipiomat discovered many valuable Russian military secrets. And he transmitted them to his own Government at Vienna, which was his real mission in Petrograd. One of his favorite methods for gaining information, It is said, was to make love to some woman high in official circles ana to persuade her to find out for him the secrets he sought. Presently, just as his activities in Petrograd wers at their height, Col. | Rid] was recalled to Vienna. There he made full report of his work, and went on furlough to his home at Prague. Al« he arrived there he was ar- rested and tuken back to Vienna on a churge j most as soon Ridi Is Accused of Treason. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny of treason. He was accused of playing the spy in a triple capacity—not only of stealing Russian military secrets for Austria, as he had been ordered to, but of selling Austrian military secrets to Russia, and of peddling to Russia some important secrets of Germany which Aus trian spies in that country hac brought Lome, In other words, he was accused of profiting from three services by his secret service work. Whether or not he was guilty will never be known, But an odd tn- ternational complication arose. A complication from which the Vienna plotters could find only one way out. Af Ridi should be put on trial Russia would learn oMecially that Austria had smuggled a spy into Petrograd in the guise of a diplomat, and that | knowledge might very readily cause a breach between the two nations. The present world war was already smouldering. Any act of unfriend- iiness might set it prematurely into a binze, Rid! would almost certainly do so. Then there was still another horn to the dilemma, Austria and G ineny were overwhelmingly friendly toward each other. The official know!- | edge that Austria had violated this friendship by sending spies into her ally's country might cause a serious break between herself and Germany. Altogether, there was much to be feared from the results of Col. Riil's ,, (lal Ril could not be trusted to keep nis ————_——w—-? mouth shut, from patriot!s scruples, if he were } The Man Who Could } on trial for his The eyes of all Burope Not Be Tried. were upon him.

The three chatted and smoked and drank, in the mnest convivial way, for an hour or more. Then the two officers took their leave. Next morning Rid! was found lying dead upon the floor of his room, a | putiet hole through his head. On the floor beside him luy a pistol. ‘And announcement was made that the accused man had committed suicide sooner than endure the disgrace ot his trial.
