extracted text: THE picture below shows a num-
ber of good reasons why the
Germans were anxious to make peace.
In the beginning the Hun used
aerial bombs like these to strafe
London and Paris, in the belief
that indiscriminate murder of ei
vilians would hasten a German
victory. But gradually the su-
premacy of the air was gained by
the Allies, and when a collection of
bombs such as these represented one
night's rations for one bombing
squadron, Germany was. forced to
take her own medicine, The Allied
flyers chose military objects as their
marks, but the air invasion of
Germany was none the less effective
in calling forth the national yell of
“‘Kamerad."
