It was perfectly proper for the Germans to uomb London and the coast towns of England as well as Paris, but the Germans, now that the allies have uecame masters of the air, consider >t barbarous warfare to bomb their towns. The allies, during the month of July made 96 air raids into Ger­ many and the bombs dropped am­ ounted to 81 tons. It looks as though it is getting too tropical for the Ger­ mans when they have to experience some of their inhuman methods uf warfare, and that is why they want io make an agreement with the al­ lies to put a stop to this in the fu­ ture. 'luis is a branch of the service that the allies are going to help win the war and now that the United States is going to take an active part in the bombing business, the Germans have experienced only a small amount of bombing to what will take place in the future. The Germans expected that with zeps and submarines that this would help win the war, but now that the allies are carrying raids into Germany, ter­ rifying the people and doing consid­ erable damage the tables have been turned on the Germans with good ef­ fect. Consequently they don't like their own medicine, which they will have plenty of now that the United States is going to take an active part in those raids into Germany. 1918. asking for the socks.
