They will rejoice that ke is out of ac- tion, but will regret sincerely the death of a gallant gentleman who fell brave- ly doing his duty. "Only a few days ago one of the! best of our airmen expressed the hope that he and von Richthofen might survive the war, so that they might compare notes. Some few months; ago a dinner was given to another of) our renowned fighting pilots by his squadron, in honour of his winning the Distinguished Service Order. returning thanks, the hero of the evening, as gallant a lad as ever flew, stood up and proposed the health of von Richthofen. And the fighting pilots of the squadron stood up and oured an enemy whom they xe- spected. Both the proposer of the toast and his enemy are now dead.One hopes that beyond the shadows they have met, as gallant enemies do when they have fought a good fight and peace has come to them. "These two incidents indicate one believes the feelings of the Royal Flying Corps toward Rittmeister von Richthofen, There is not one in the corps who would not gladly have killed him But there is not one who would not with equal gladness have shaken hands with him had he been brought down without being killed, or who would not have shaken hands if brought down by him. "However, Manfred von Richthofen is dead. He was a brave man and a clean fighter, May he rest in peace." Who can now say the day of chivt alry is past? Our great enemy ace was buried with full military honours, 1n French soil, on April 22, and his per- sonal effects were sent home to his family. brought down 547 areoplanes, with Lieut Rene Fonck heading the list, having a record of 45. Consider the details of Fonch's record. Up to April 3, 1918, he had shot down officially 32 enemy aircraft, engaged in upwards of 200 combats, flown over 1000 hours above the enemy's lines, and yet had never re- ceived a bullet hole in his areoplane! Now he has 45 enemy planes on his tablet, and is the French ace of aces. : But is it a miracle? Let Fonch himself tell the secret. Here is what he says regarding his preparations for combat: "One must be in constant training always fit, always sure of oneself, al- ways in perfect health. Muscles must be in good condition, nerves in perfect equilibrium, all the organs exercising naturally. "Alcohol becomes an enémy--even wine. All abuses must be avoided. It is indispensible that one goes to combat without fatigue, without any "It must be remembered that com- bats often take place at altitudes of twenty to twenty-five thousand feet.

This was the highest record held by any American. There is apparently no real certain- ty that Capt. Georges Guynemer is dead. He disappeared September 11, 1917. His record was 53 planes, and his exploits have been written the world over, A summary of the aviation activities of friend and foe, we find that up till May, 1918, 88 Germans have brought down 1,670 hostile aircraft since the beginning of the war, while 193 Allies have shot down 2,041 enemy aircraft. Our enemy has but forty pilots of the ace class remaining, while the Allies have one hundred and fifty- seven. The dead or retired on the enemy list number 48 with 923 vic- tories, as against 40 still remaining with 747 victories. So not only have our aerial duelists put the majority of the enemy's star fighters out of action, but in accom- plishing this feat we have increased rather than lessened our supply of ex- pert duelists. Add to this indication of ultimate supremacy, the fact that the Allied nations are producing three or four times as many areoplanes as Germany and that the flying schools are crowd- ed with impatient lads waiting for their fighing mounts. The Wharf We have a good wharf at Port Perry. It cost a lot of money. It was well built, and is a creditable piece of work, It Is worthy of proper care. That care is not being given to the building which is being destroyed by persons who leave evidences of their char- acter upon the walls. As the wharf was built by the Federal Government, we presume it will be fheir duty to care for it, and would here- by respectfully bring this mat- ter to the attention of our local representative, Mr. William Smith, M.P.
