Military observers watched the Battle of the Ebro today as 
an excellent test of the effectiveness of the airplane as. 
a substitute for artillery. The success of tho Loyalists in 
pushing ahead under bombing by an air fleet of 150 planes has 
proven the argument of those who claim that air bombers cannot 
displace ground artillery. On the other hand, a strong force 
of air bombers sent out by the Rebels to halt the advance of 
the -Loyalist army has failed to halt the advance of the militia 
men, due, army experts aintain, to the fact that planes must 
return frequently to their bases for more bombs, whereas an 
artillery unit can spread a continuous curtain of shell fire.
