DAILY TIMES-PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 191 Sidelights on the War (By Frederick Palmer). -British Headquarters. France, Aug 4--A crack and a whlsh through the air! No sound is more familiar at the front where the artillery is never sil- Mt--the- sound of a. shell breaking from a gun muzzle and its shrill flight toward the enemy's line to pay the Germans back for some shell they have sent. Only this which did not pass put over the landscape in a Jong parabola or toward the German lines It went right up into the heavens at about the angle of a skyrocket--for it was Archibald who was on the job.

Six or seven thousand feet over the British trenches Uvre was something as 'big as your hand against the light blue of the summer sk. This was the target--German aeroplane. By the cui. of' his wings you knew It was Taube just as you knew a meadow from a swallow. So was it that it seemed al- ibost stationary- But it -was going somewhere between 50 and 90 miles an.

hour. It seemed to tJl the heavens to itself; and to the British it was a sinister pring eje. It -wanted to see if they were building any new trenches, if. they were moving bodies of troops or of transport in some new direction and -where their batteries were in hiding That aviator miles abcve the earth had many would let loose on the target he Indicated. Other features of life at the front may grow commonplace but never the -work of the planes--these wings of the army's Intelligence.

In the hide and seek, digging aud dodging and countering of siege warfare the sight of a plane under shell fire never loses its thrilL If the planes might fly as low as they pleased they might know all that was going on over tho lines. They must keep up so high that through the aviator's glasses a man on the road is the size of a To descend low IB as certain death as to put your head over a parapet of a trench when tho enemy's trench is only a 100 yards away. There are dead ines the air no less than on the earth, Archibald, the anti-air craft gun sets the dead line. He watches over it as a cat watches a mouse. The trick of snwudnsj up under the cover of a noonday cloud and all the other man- tricks he knows.

A couple of seconds after that crack a tiny puff of smoke bleaks about 100 yards behind the Taube.

The aviator knows what is coming, fie knows that one means many once lie is in range Archibald rushed the fighting; it is the business of the Taube to sidestep. The aviator can not hit back except through its allies, the German batteries, on the earth. Thev would take care of Archibald if they knew where he was. But all that the can see It mottled landscape. From his side Archibald flies no goal nags Ke is one of ten thousand 'tiny objects under the aviator's eye.

Archibald's propensities are entirely peripatetic He is the vaga bond of the army lines Locate him J--and te is gone His home is where night finds him and the day's duties take him. He is the only gun which keeps regular hours like a Christian gentleman. All the others--grea and small, rancous voiced and shril Toiced--fire at any b.our, night or day. Aeroplanes do not go up early. Why ho was named Archibald no body knows.

As his full name Is Archibald, the Archer, possibly li comes from some association with the idea of archery, if there were ten thousand anti-aircraft guns in tho British everyone would be known as an Archibald. When the British Expeditionary Force went to Franco It had none. All the British could do was to bang away at Taubes with thousands of rounds of rifle bullets which might fall in their own lines and with the field guns. It was pie in those days for the Taubes. It was easy to keep out of the range of both rifles and guns and observe well.

If the Germans did not know the progress of the British retreat from on high it was their own fault. Now the business of firing at Taii'bes Is left entirely Archibald. When you see how lard it is for Archibald after all his practice to get a Taube you understand how foolish it was for the field guns to try to get one. Archibald, who Is quite the swell- est thing in thft army, has his own private car built especially for him While the cavalrv horses back of the lines grow sleek from inaction the aeroplanes have taken their places. All the romances and risk of scouting are theirs.
