Abraham that the war of the rebellion waa to test whether or not this nation, or any nation, conceived In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, can long- endure. The present European war Is not to that proposition, for our civil war settled it. but this war Is to reestablish a new balance of power in Europe If Germany wins, however, then the result of the war will be to establish a balance of power between Germany and the rest of the world.

New and startllar de velopments in the aeroplane and in aero nautical strategy are euro to develop a a result of the present great eonni:t. Always, even In the old days before gunpowder and firearms wera Invented, scouts and videttes were regarded a the eyes and ears of an army. The aeroplane has given wings to the scout and the vidette with the eyes of the eagle and the speed of the wind. The aeronautical scout, from bis lookout in the sky. Is able to keep headquarter Informed of an enemy's maneuver! and thereby to prevent surprises. Ever since Germany entered Belgium the Belgian and French aeroplanes have teen and reported ever significant movement of the Germans, and the. allies have, consequently, been able to counter with all their force every attack of the Invaders. Had Germany adequately realized the value of the aeroplane In sufficient tlma before the war, and prepared berslf with an adequate number of aeroplanes with trained aviators, to sweep the French and Belgian air scouts from the sky, then Germany would have been able today not only to prevent her own movements being spied on, but rlso would be able, unopposed, to spy upon all movements of the allies an advantage which might easily have turned ths whole tide of the campaign. Even If Germany sueeeeds In her ad vance through Belgium Into France, the cost in men. munitions, treasure, ana time will be enormous. Had Germany sufficiently appreciated the value of the aeroplane, not only for purposes of spjlng upon an enemy, but also to prevent an enemy from spying, and had she built and equipped fifty thousand aeroplanes, we should be reading today a different story of the war.
