In an interesting communication to the National Geographical Society at Washington, Captain Andre de Ber- ror-ta, of the French Aviation Service, new on duty with the French Military Mission to America, traces the devel- opment of the airman's duties since the beginning of the world war. A part of Captain de Berroeta's com- munication is issued by the society as the following bulletin of its war geo- graphy series: "The preparation, conduct and ro- eults of: an offensive military opera- tion in Europe bear but a faint resem- blunce to those of a battle at the open- ing of hostilities. "'There are at the present time three branches of aviation which differ in the duties performed, in the machines used and in the :imminent provided. These are: "The Divisional or Reconnoissance Aviation, a valuable ally of the stats it serves, of the batteries whose firing it directs, of the infantry it assists in leaning during the battle. "The Aviation of Combat, younger sister of the first, and the most faith- fully ally she has for her protection from the aggressions of hostile air- planes. 'Attack the boche, clown him, or compel hip] to flee,' is its clearly offensive motto. "The Aviation of Bombardment, hitherto chiefly 'employed in reprisals for the aerial raids of the enemy, but now called to a much greater and per- haps a decisive role, Weapon of the Future. "Although essentially distinct, these three branches of aviation can only be effectively employed by the constant co-ordination of their efforts. Let us consider the conditions and influences uttending their birth ana development and the roles they are to play in the battles of to -morrow. "When war was declared the chief strength of the French and German armies lay in the masses of their in- fantry, in the power of their artillery and in the skill of their cavalry. How- ever, it seemed the part of wisdom to put the few hundred airplanes we pos- sessed at the service of the fighting forces, in order to facilitate the suc- cess of their undertakings. The of- fensive strength of both the French and German squadrons was very small in comparison with the millions of combatante ready to clash with each other, supperrted by the fire of several thousand cannon. t DANGER SEASON IS AT HAND. Rangers Ask Public to Help Them Keep Fire Out of the Broods. The danger season for forest fires is near at hand. Rapidly drying soil has left the old grass, brush, leaves, etc., in most perilous condition for starting fires. An effort is being made by the are rangers in this province to keep flown the forest losses this year to a Minimum. They will succeed only if every camper carefully extinguishes his camp -fire before leaving it, if every smoker refrains from tossing away burnt matches or tobacco in or near a wood, and if settlers in the 71'iLslAIlons PARIS SHEI LED BY HUN GUNS. Church, Dating From Middle Ages, Struck on Good Friday. There was from the first a mystery regarding the purpose, the military necessity, of the big gun which the Germans have been tiring on Paris,. the gun which hue added "a new page to the fame and history of Krupp," and which was "an aehievement of German science and labor," for which the Keiser has expressed his imperial thanks, From its position in the forest of St. Gobaln, ft had intermittently drop- ped shells into the French capital, But Paris was depopulated of eoldiers ex- cept the wounded and the invalid after the beginning of the offensive on the western front. The shells had not fallen upon the defences of the city; they had wrecked small buildings in the outskirts or dug holes in the pave- ments, causing less damage than the usual aerial bombardments. Persistence and practice that could profit from failure improved the marksmanship of the gunners. Good Friday one of their shells was drop- ped on a Paris church, demolishing the building, killing seventy-five persons and wounding ninety: "The shell struck the north side of the church, bringing clown part of the f'' roof and opening a breach twelve feet out 1 v high and tweet feet wide.

"Hush 'Hush." Cruisers. The idea that England is secretly constructing tremendous n8 cruisers, car- rying batteries of fifteen -inch g ln s and travelling mach faster than any naval shills now afloat] has become al- most an obsession with the German press, whose naval exports recognize that these ships present a problem that cannot be ]net with submarines, The neve British cruisers are termed "hush, hush" cruisers because of the supposed secrecy with which they are being constructed. Captain von Kuhlwetter, a famous German naval authority, believes them to be 860 feet in length and probably more ef- fective naval units than any yet con- structed. No doubt the prime cause of interest in their building Is the realization that a complete fleet of fast cruisers could annihilate a whole squadron of slow antl ponderous Ger- man dreadnoughts if tho German fleet ever again aspires to the open sea. In the Jutland and other fights such a emit of fast and Heavily armed ships might have out off their retreat.
