Foreign countries have come to re-

as aid and there Is an international
Law on the other side which prohibits
the aeroplanist OF another country

Balloontsts and the destruction of the

the reader. Time and again this has

country seems to be suspicious not
only OF all other lands. but those In
authority seem to fear even their own
subjects who are not allowed to soar
anywhere near fortifleations. So far
the only regulation against flying in
this country is the order of the Presl-
dent, which forbids flying over the

on air equipment.
That our army and navy are not
better equipped along these lines Is
due to the "douhting Thomas" Con-

much toward gaining better equip

bandaging the limb and then using a
rifle and bayonet as splints; straw,

rifle bayonet spllnts. This keeps the
broken bones from grinding together

Evacuation Hospital A Reality.
Heretofore the Evacuation Hospital
in the United States Army existed only
on paper, but now one has become
a reality and has been organized at
Texas City. These evacuation hos
pitfalls are to be located at points ac-
cessible to railroad tracks from which
points the patients may be evacuated
by train to the base hospitals. The
hospital trains as authorized by the
Medical Department, will have q ca
pactty of two hundred patients, eight
cars being used for that purpose.

might have located the Japs and their
work and saved the Russians at least
from the great loss which occurred in
the battle that followed. Perhaps, in
deed, an aeroplane might have turned
this war into Russian victory. Again,
when the Spanish fought the Moors
in Morocco an aeropIane sent out from
Mellia could undoubtedly have located
the Moors in their ambush in the
hills. Photographs of these places
would certainly have prevented the
slaughter Of the Spaniards which oc-
Cured SO many times Spain was
compelled to depend upon Moorish
spies for her information and these
were far from reliable. On one oc-
casion the Moors dressed up number
Of dogs in white muslin in order to
draw the fire of the Spanlards. They
succeeded and then surrounded and
slaughtered whole company Of
Spanish soldiers. An aeroplane would
without question have prevented this.
During the war between Turkey and
italy the air scouts 'snooping' about
located the enemy time and again, and
on several occasions prevented battles
from taking place in which thousands
of lives might have been sacrificed
