When an aeroplane is flying Lagainst the wind, it thus offers an almost stationary mark. The Ger- 'mans, 'of course, know this as well 'as the British do, and therefore -- | apparently hold their fire till they see the machine is flying against the wind, and as a result they are now getting very much closer to their targets than they did during the early part of the war, when the weather was practically calm for weeks at a time. consequence is that when British pilots are flying against the wind, and find the shells coming too close, they promptly turn and sail off down wind, and then, of course, their speed is so terrific that it is almost impossible to hit them. es Are Hard Times Coming?
