suggestion .en its treatment of the subject by declaring—which is no doubt true per se—that anti-aircraft guns are of very little use, and insisting that we must have " teelt-organized aerial patrols." That we must seek out and destroy the German aeroplanes wherever •
ahoy are .to be found is of course perfectly sound, but we take very strong objection to the suggestion of " organized aerial patrols." That iu effect, if not in name, means the evil naval heresy of keeping'
your ships to guard your coasts instead of sending them to destroy thq enemy's vessels. Upon the injeuendoes,nod suggestions of the Vintea that warning should have been given we do not intend to entero for we know noneeof the. facts. We van only say that if proper provision has not been made for listening-poste, it ought to be.
