Show PROVES SUCCESS OF AEROPLANE II WAR Scouts of the Air Cause Abandonment Aban-donment of the British Army Maneuvers." Special Cablo to The Tribune. LONDON', Sept. IS. The efficiency of the aeroplane in war scouting was so well demonstrated here totlaj that It resulted re-sulted In the abandonment of the Great Britain army maneuvers before any battle bat-tle had been fought. The reconnoltcring of the aerial scouts made the movements of the opposing armies futile and the sham engagement which was lo have taken ta-ken place In East Anglira was dropped as Impossible of accomplishment In actual wa r. King George, who followed the maneuvers maneu-vers all day, was disappointed at not being be-ing able lo soe a general engagement terminate the operations. Thc actual result re-sult of the maneuvers is a draw, neither having an advantage of position. The aeroplanes bringing news of thc enemy's movements each minute to the respective commanders caused constant changes In tacllcc. The advancing bodies of cavalry cav-alry played lildo and seek monotonously, capturing and recapturing positions until the situation became ludicrous and a general engagement Impossible. As soon as one general had hi? troops In a position to strike, his opponent was warned off by the little scouts of the air and had time to move his men and thus avoid thc blow. |
