Planet in War
At Last Regarded
As Indispentible
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
SURFACE fighters. landsmen
and sailors alike, still aren't con- j
vinced that aviation has rendered
them obsolete, but current war de
velopments are rapidly bringing
to the view that the

dispensible one
During the last world conflict j
aviators were mainly observers A
little bombing was done from Zep
pelins, and heavier-than-air craft
also practiced a certain amount of
gunnery against earthling forces
and ships at sea, as well as
between themselves. Principally,
however, a flyer’s business was to
spot suitable places for his side’s
land artillery to concentrate on, ;
from farther away than, down on
the ground, a cannoneer could see
to take aim. Having located the
desired target, the airman then
signalled his earthly battery as to
just where it was, its marksmen
adjusted their guns at the proper
angle, and — bingo! — their shots
landed accordingly. At sea it was
the same way. Aviators served as
a fleet's eyes at long range. On
; their own independent account
they seldom ever tried to sink ves
sels on the ocean underneath.
That forces on terra firms or
afloat needed flyers to keep them
informed concerning enemy posi
tions wasn't disputed, but the air
men weren’t rated as ponderably
formidable as direct, first-hand
combatants.
sequently he could keep on trying
until he scored bullseyes. Naval
j his eX p eids demonstration we re of the would opinion have that fiz
zled if it had been the real thing
Overland air raiding hadn’t con
clusively proved itself, either. Ger
many’s Zeppelin flights over Eng
land in 1914-'l8 war time were a
nu.sance, but they did no great
damage. | I was there while they
were oing 0R
That war being over, surface ex
perts’ verdict was that aviation
wasn’t more than an adjunct to
old-fashioned military and naval
operations. Planes, however, con
tinued to Improve themselves—or.
I from the standpoint of their de
structive possibilities, they got
worse and worse. Airmen present
i ly began asserting that they had
arrived at a stage of development!
where they could WIN wars.!
Groundling authorities still;
thought The issue not. couldh't be decided by, j
•
anything but experimentation un- f
i der genuine war conditions—
which were impossible in peace
time, because folk wouldn't tol
erate 'em except in earnest.
Well, the unqualified test start
ed when this war did. I don't think
army and navy men are quite con
verted to the idea that aviation’s
grown completely up into a dog
that wags two tails, but they cer
tainly, to hear 'em talk, do indorse
the proposition that it's a whale of
a big dog today. They readily ad
mit now that it can raise hades
ashore and sink ships afloat. As
between two belligerents, about
evenly matched on land and sea,
they concede that the deciding fac
tor may be superiority in air
strength.
Marshall Air-Minded
Gen. George C. Marshall, army
chief-of-staff. is recognized by avi
ation corps officers as being as air
minded as they are.
He’s pushed their program, any
way. He’s altered army regula
tions in a fashion to encourage avi
ation interest aniqng groundlings
as well as among airmen them
selves. Obviously he wants all the
potential flyers he can get—not
alone professionals but also serv
iceable amateurs, who can be re
cruited in short order in emergen
cies, and wished into professional
ranks
Don't Show Annoyance
In the meanwhile, provided vo«
and the child are very confidential
with each other, you can show him
how it will be to his advantage not
to let other children know he ia
annoyed by the nickname; that,
indeed, he can do most to bring it
into disuse if he will refer to him
self among hi* comrades by this
name. Then they probably will
think him such a good sport that
they will eventually drop the uaa
of the nickname entirely.
Of course, if he can so control
himself as to rise above being an
noyed by any nickname whatso
ever if he can so manage himself
as not to let any one know that he
cares what they call him, he will
actually free himself from such
annoyance by and by. Any child
who thus lifts himself above a
nuisance has acquired a great deal
by way of character development.
If you don't think so. talk this mat
ter over with some high school or
college student.
Whether our children have un
welcomed nicknames or not, we
want them to desist from calling
other children by nicknames which
annoy them. We want not only chi" to
protect the feelings of our
dren, but we also wish to have
them learn to protect the feelings
of other children. As our children
become more interested in the wel
fare of others, they ought to grow I
top* sensitive to hurts themselves.
