Spanard, who was not himself an avia-
tor, but was marooned at Burgas, on the
Black sea, during the earlier part of the
siege. He merely commented on the use
of aeroplanes by the allies and said that
they seemed TO create as much appre-

Greeks in the Foreground.
1t Is known through the Greek lega-
ton here that at the outbreak of the war
Greece was the only one of the allies
that had an organized flying squad. This
consisted of.eight or ten machines, most
~ of French make. There were nearly
twenty OHlceFS QClH1eQ TO use Inen1.
Later in the war there were thirty ma
chimes in commission among the allies,
more machines than there were aviators.
Reports to the Aero Club of America
said that the use of bombs among the
ayiators had proved unexpectedly effec-
tive. The avtators and observers used
castiron shells loaded with high explo-
sives with a short. feathered tail like u
dart to keep them straight in flight. They

effect against some of the Turkish Lat
teries, but there were no details availa-
bic.
1t was admitted by the commanders
among the Bulgarians that much of the
information brought back by the aero
plane scouts was invaluable. Flights up
to forty-five miles were made from the
Bulgarian camp over the Turkish posi-
tons and return. There were several re-
ports of the machines being struck by
rife fire, but without material damage.
One dispatch said that a machine was
struck at height of 5000 feet. There is
no way of confirming these figures, but
they may be a mistake in transmission,
because the general military belief is that
an aercrlane is safe from small arm fire
at a height of 5000 feet. At $500 feet
even a big biplane is practically out of
sight.

Facts About Medical School.

Dean w. G. Borden was then called
upon by President Gordon to tell about
the medical school, Some plain facts
were given by Prof. Borden. He de-
c1ared the problem Of medical education
was a difficult one and that it was
growing more difficult every year. There
Is a great change now going on in this
country in medical education. He told of
the work Of Andrew Carnegie's medical
endowment institution in eliminating the
weaker schools and leaving only those
schools which give efficient medical edu-
cation. He said he was not going to
predict great things for the medical
school when he knew that there were
difficult times ahead in view of the ad-
vancements which are being made in
medical science which are making the
requirements more severe.
I'm not here waving any banners" he
said. Il am speaking plainly. There
are difficult problems ahead of u.s.
In order to keep up with this advance
ment, he said, the university, beginning
January /. 1914, will require one year of
college work in addition to the four years
high school work for admittance to the
medical school. This was necessary, he
declared. IN view of medical advance
ment. and must be required to keep up
the standard,

AMERICAN AND AZTEC

If the United States interferes in
Mexico, and a bloody war results,
who will cause the trouble, and who
will suffer most? A majority Of the
Mexicans are an ignorant and some
what lazy but naturally peaceful peo-
pie. Their besetting sin is lack of
ambition. They can fight and fight
we'll, but they would rather remain
in their humble homes and lead
peaceful lives, frightened by as many
festas as possible. If left to them
selves. they would never fight any
one.
The very best element Of Mexico,
its business men, largely foreigners.
but including many of-native birth,
though principally OF Spanish de-
scent, are like business men the
world over. They have nothing to
gain and much to lose by war, and
they prefer peace.
In our country, who wants war?
Who wants to hurI the tremendous
might Of our powerful nation on our
weak and distracted neighbor and at
the cost Of thousands Of valuable
dives extend our already unwieldy
domain and vastly add to our per-
picking race and economic troubles.
IN Mexico there is a small but tur-
bulent proportion Of the population,
Hhe best Of them professional SOL
djers, but a majority professional ag-
itators, bandits, cut-throats-men
who could not make living by hon
est work. They are armed and in
the saddle-they incite some peace
jul people into disturbance and drive
many more. They make the trou-
bic on that side Of the Rio Grande.
and if the might of our nation could
be directed against them alone. it.
would be a righteous work to crush
them.
And on our side of the Rio Grande.
who is making the trouble?
The men whose idea of private and
national honor is gagged by the dol
lar. The men who tear the flag to
ribbons and twist the ribbons into
reins with which to drive the horses
that are yoked to the car of Mann
mon. The men who time and again
have used the American navy abroad
as catspaw to pull their chestnuts
nF q ,1vhD
ner the necessities OF life and pile
colossal fortunes on the poverty Of
the common people. The men who
hope to make slaves Of the Mexican
poems. and who will make slaves of
our own people if we let them-the
men who melted and financed the
revolution that upset the best gov
eminent Mexico has had since the
their first calculations have failed
are now trying to use the lives of
American soldiers as figures in a
final summing up.
If there is war between America
and Mexico, it will be fought by men
who desire no war. 1t will be fought
by our best young men, whom we
need in the work of peace and good
government, and by the good-natured
poems, who never had real cause for
\ quarrel with an American. Their
bodies will fill the trenches on the
days after the battles, or their tor
tured limbs will writhe for' months
in the hospitals, their shoulders will
chafe under the rifles and their feet
be weary on the rough roads, while
their mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts wait and pray in an agony of
suspense at home. Meantime, the
