Your affectionate son. Started With 1,500 Aeroplanes. Before this war began those who took an interest in military affairs thought of Germany's aerial forces in terms of Zeppelins. It was acknowl edged that Germany had some aero planes. but publicly she had not done very much with them. On December 3 last year Count von Arnlm, of the flying corps, told me that Germany had 1,500 aeroplanes, and that more were being turned out every day. When I remarked my amazement, he smiled and said, “We did not build ’them all since the war began,” Ger many' knows how to guard her mill ion secrets well. Just as the 12 centimeter guns were guarded, so was her strength in aeroplanes.’’ Taube means dove, the symbol of peace. Tho Taube, an aeroplane of the monoplane type, made its appear ance over France, Belgium and Rus sia .it the outbreak of the war Bo that the Gerrban soldiers would not !

Thin L**dl to rash deeds; it urged Phil Wurst to fly over Lodz under fire of the Russian guns At Lodz he did more than all the German artil lery had been able to do. He threw the city into darkness. But his story begins in St. Louis. Born in Ger many, Phil Wurst had become a citi zen of the United States and an aviator. I^ast spring he went to Ber lin to see his mother With a laugh ho told her how In the American aviation camps they called him the “Crazy Dutchman.” Phil Wurst had his own ideas about how flying ma chines should be made and loudly he announced them, particularly in St. Ixmis, where he had a school. War came; In Berlin. Phil Wurst volun teered As he said to me, ”It was a fin© chance to learn all about war planes. And It would be fun.” Now every German aviator has to earn a little yellow and black badge, the emblem of the Flying Corps; It Is harder to win than a second-class Iron Cross. He has to prove his fit ness. his ability and his bravery. He has to accomplish severe obnervatlon tests and bomb dropping. Phil Wurst was awarded the badge. lie was sent to the front. He flew over Rholms. dropping "bonbons,” as he calls them. He made many valuable reports to Oeneral Herrlngen. He was transferred to the east On© day when Hindenburg’s army was advancing on Lodz, the Polish manufacturing city, the staff decided that to plunge the city in darkness would be to create panic among the Russian soldiers and inhabitants. They sent for the crazy Dutchman. Destroys Light Plant. “Destroy thn electric light plant at Lodz,’’ were Wurst’s orders. “Jawohl!" Phil Wurst climbed Into his Alba tross and flew across Poland toward Lodz. The Russian artillery sought to halo him with a crown of bursting shrapnel. But Wurst cared more for the Iron ("rose; so he kept on. Above Lodz h© made some observations. He Hew' one way and then made a turn to get the velocity of the wind. He took his altitude and then made a cal culation In which figured the velocity of the wind and the speed of his bomb to Che ground. It told him exactly how much allowance he had to make ' for the wind Then he circled over the electric, plant of Lodz. “My first bomb,” he told me. "missed It only hit he workshop.

LONDON, June 27.—Sir Oliver Lodge, perhap# the greatest living scientist, welcomed the opportunity which I gave him to speak to the great circle of American people reached by the Hearst newspapers. As I was being ushered Into his room 9peclallv set aside for his re searches in Birmingham University, In the heart of England, I caught a glimpse of several of his laboratories. Here were deJicate instruments of strange shape, at the purpose of which the layman could only guess and wonder—weirdly shaped retorts, endless rows of bottles, books of ref erence, notebooks of research, and beyond were the humming wheels and refftlesg tracery of driving belts appertaining to the engineers work shop. The principal of the great British Industrial university is no mere book ish theorist, but an energetic investi gator of many branches of science, j Although his device for dissipating j fogs still is a thing of wonder, his In- | ventions by no means* are all In the I air, as the universal use of the Lodge sparking plug readily proves. Greeting Cordial. Waving me a cordial gretting, Sir Oliver settled down to his cross-ex amination with a zest which gave no indication he was giving up a portion of a particularly busy morning for the benefit of the readers of the Hearst newspapers. While he sat there, a smile on his face, his great frame overflowing the boundaries of his chair, his head bent a little forward by seeming weight of his huge polished dome, with his beard as a support, his face was ir radiated with a boyish gleam which smoothed out the lines of care on th© rugged features. ‘ I would like to know. Sir Oliver.” I raid, “your view* on some of the sci entific aspects of the war. For in stance, the leading papers contained In the last few weeks a wide corre spondence deploring the lack of or ganization in the field of chemistry, physics, mechanics and general in vention. Do you think British leaders In science are alive to these matters, and is the organization with them adequate for the need or equal to that of Austria or Germany?” "Many of the people busy writing papers on these matters,” broke in Sir Oliver, "are uninformed or mis informed. There Is far more organi zation and science in England than the public Is aware of. Laboratories Are Busy. "It is not known, as many recent letter? prove, and I am perhaps giv ing away secrets by saying so now’, that practically since the beginning she keeping pace with the many in ventions in the field of warfare?"

Take, for instance, LONDON, July 3.—At the first meeting of a new' league, entitled “La3y Volunteer Workers,” held at the* London residence of Lady Wan tage, an old friend of the royal fam ily, and attended by the Princess Mary, a remarkable scene occurred, which ended »n the Princess and her governess, Mile.

A diacussion arose is to the position that moment, for he closed up as of America In the war. and the aui- tight as an oyster and no persuasion tude of th.- Unltgd Sta.es Adminis could get him to hint ut the secrets he guards, so I changed the subject. The Students' Part. “As the principal university, what part do you think your students and the institution generally should play In war?” ‘ A) who can.” he said, “have been invited to enlist. The names of those fighting and those dead on the field of battle you will see on the roll of honor in the corridor.” Here Sir Oliver’s words sounded for a few moments only during the inter view like those of an old, carew’orn man. "Yes,” he added, "the university can and should supply fighting forces of the greatest importance." In a war of such magnitude, where science is playing so Important a part, I thought It might be possible to as certain the probable lines along which Inventions might develop, so 1 asked: “Can you give me, Sir Oliver, any indication or even a hint as to the probable line of development of the tration since the sinking •''J the Lusi tania was severely commented on by several of the ladies present, notably by a Miss Davidson, a cousin of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The F^in- cess Mary did not Join In the disci 18 " sion at all until Miss Davidson rt." marked that it was now simply a question of the United States choos ing between honor and dishonor, whereupon the Princess said she did not agree with that statement; to her it seemed that it was simply a ques tion of the United States doing what was the wisest thing in obviously very difficult circumstances. Etiquette gives the members of the reigning house the advantage of hav ing the last word at such dizcusslons. for no on© i* supposed to differ with the plainly expressed opinion of any member of the royal family. Miss Davidson, however, • apparently thought that the considerable dispar ity between her own age and that of the Prim-ess relieved her of the neces sity of observing this rule, and she re Allies’ fighting gear; will it be with th * expression of her opinion, regard to machines on land, to gases.

As a result of the incident, all royal support has been withdrawn from the league, which will, of course, die a sudden death. under the sea, or is it likely someone may harness the force of nature to work destruction on opponents?” Sir Oliver shook his head and re plied : “I am no prophet.” Knows of No Message. “Speaking of prophets,’ I said, “what l.s your opinion of the various prophecies which have been made with regard to the war.” “The prophets have not done them selves justice,” was the laconic an swer. “But you believe, and the public ex pects you. as a spiritualist investiga tor, to believe that future events can be foretold. One would think that a world catastrophe such as the present tvould have been foretold by a me dium at some seance. Has such a message been given?” “I know of no definite message.” re plied Sir Oliver, “no authentic proph ecy. There have been allusions through media and many of us felt something terrible was pending, but there has been nothing definite.” "What do you think of messages in the past that are said to have fore told this war?

Editor of Pall Mall Gazette Declares Allies Have Postponed Their Hopes for Months to Deliberately Prepare for Thorough Victory. By JOHN L. GARVIN. (Editor of The Pall Mall Gazette. Spe cial Cable to The Sunday American.) LONDON, July 3.—Last week marked an epoch in national organi zation, as well as a pinch in the Euro pean struggle. The Allies have post poned their hopes for months and de liberately reorganized their methods to assure thoroughness of a deferred victory. Russia’s emergency has been met by our allies with indomitable for titude and resolution. It means that FTance plays Jor the present the main part of ‘holding an impregnable barrier' in the west. It depends on the supreme exertions of Great Britain during the next few months to provide men and munitions with an effect which will turn the course of the war and vibrate from c*ne end of Europe to the other. The situation, but on a larger scale, is not uni’ke the sterner years of the Napo leonic wars. Aft?r more than a century, this is again situation that suits the British'iwnper- We shall bear it well. The sign^. the last few days have satisfied u? the British temper. With man-£° wer » machine-power and money - power we will rise to th© need with a vigor that will discomfit our enemies, assert the supremacy of the Quadruple Entente and astonish the world. We ha'“ vast reserves, but we have to rnob*Uze them now fully without delay. W> can do it and shall. Grave Vo' ce s Heard. While in Germany and Austria many enthusiasts and some experts declare that the Russian colossus is or soon will be overthrown and finished for the remainder oi. the war, other grave voices in the central empires warn all concerned against thinking it is all over but the shouting. The Russians are describe* 1 as moving back with incredible obstinacy and immovable courage, lading nothing but munitions. The Bear is always ready to maul its pursuer^. Nevertheless, serious and perilous as Potsdam knows the event to be. it is practically certain Germany means to make the crowning effort one way or another to seize Warsaw and the whole lind of the Vistula, and, if pos sible throw Russia back beyond th© more interior line of the Bug and it- key to the fortress and Brest-Litovsk railway junction into the marshes of the Prlpet. Since the fall of Lemberg our allies In the south of Poland have retreated very .slowly to a point somewhfct near er the Vistula. It is well-nigh as great a crisis as that of 1812, and may quite possibly prove the greatest in Russia’s annals Under direction of his sovereign and with the whole Russian nation behind him, the Grand Duke is preparing for all emergencies. Factors of Time and Space. We repeat that we have absolute confidence that the Grand Duke will be the eventual victor, upon the con dition that he be fully supported by the colossal energy of this country in piling up munitions. Against Germany are the factors of space and time. She must succeed before November or she can never succeed. The time is too short for her purpose. Even for a partial 4nd' tem porary success he will have to pay a tremendous price. The deeper she advances into Rus sia the graver becomes the danger of a total reverse. It must be months before the Grand Duke’s armies are so fully reorganized and refitted as to be able to resume the final offensive with huger forces than ever. But even in the meantime the Czar’s troops will be better and better equipped with every month that passes. We do not say too much when we suggest that this is one of the great est dramas in human history. DEVICE FINDS BURIED SHELLS.
