Can't Fire Aloft.
The Germen Zeppelins in war
times are equipped with rapid-fire
guns, but the gunners cannot adan

vided they so manoeuvre as to get
their monoplenes above 'the diris'
gibles b,efore the guns cart be aimed

"The history of that campaign

plish when badly fed end equipped,

"The German opposition to the
