	The St. Mihiel Salient
		In fact, the airpower portion of the battle of St. Mihiel was important more for its preparation and planning than for its actual execution, which was hampered by poor weather.
		At the battle of St. Mihiel, Billy Mitchell (third from left in this photo taken in Germany, just after World War I) applied his principles of airpower--amass airpower assets and concentrate their use on the enemy right from the start.
		There would be other battles in the months to come, and more casualties as well, but St. Mihiel had established the Air Service as a fighting command, willing to take losses to learn its job and able to take on both aerial combat and ground attack duties.

		But the "Religious Societies" founded by Doctor Smithies, curate of St. Giles, and Dr. Horneck, of the Lower Palatinate, together with the writings of William Law-the father of the religious revival of the eighteenth century-had prepared the minds of many Englishmen for stronger spiritual food than that offered by the established religion.
		The compact was chiefly due to the concessions made by the Calixtine party; it found little or no favour with the Taborites.
