Air experts say the next war will be fought on “the celling of the earth," and in the saying they give us a new expression. They flx the limit of altitude at 25,000 feet, there by establishing the height of the cell ing above the ground. There is no reason to doubt the statement of the aviators. Indeed. military men gen erally express the belief that the next war will be fought largely in the air. The nation that dominates the air tn the beginning of the struggle will be the victor, they say. Just as it used to be the case that the uatlon which dominated the sea was the victor.
