SPIRIT OF CHIVALFY MARKS RELATIONS OF
 WARRTNG AVIATORS

British Army Headquarters in France, Aug. 26-.aThough it has been repeatedly stated that chiva1ry does not exist in this war; said a British avia4or this does not apply to the British and German aviation branches. Whether it is the individ- ualism of our work and it's novelty, or whatever it is that is responsible, something of the old spirit of knight hood maintains among the riders Of the air. When a Britf1h aviator has to descend in the German lines whether from engine trouble or because his en- zine or his plane has been damaged by anti-air craft guns fire the next day the Germans report us his name and whether he survived and if so whether he is wounded. We always do the same It has come to be a custom
 The reports are made in a man ner worthy of airmen and they are the only communications that ever pass between the two foes which watch for heads to snipe at from their trenches. What is called a message bag is dropped over the British lines by a German or over the German lines by a British aviator-sometinle when he is in the midst of bursting shells from the anti-aircraft guns. Long streamers are attached to the little cloth bag. These as they piroutte down to the earth from a heighth of

 It is taken to battalion. headquarters which wires the fact on to the avia- ton headquarters where the fate of a connra de may be known few hours after he has left his home aerodrone, and in another few hours, someone in England may know the fate of relative.
 That is. one of the advantages of belonging to the flying corps" says the British aviators. tIt may be weeks before his relatives and com ra des know whether a man who is missing after a, trench attack or coun- ter-attack is a prisoner or dead. Such little kindnesses as this don't inter fere with your fighting your best for you cause; at the same time they take a little of the SaVagery out of war. Of course, the rule could not apply to prisoners taken in trench fighting only to airTnen. There are relatively few airmen on either side and only an occasional one, ever comes down in the enenny's lines.
 With the first flush of dawn the British planes rise from the aviation grounds and frequently just as a car rier pigeon makes circle before orient ing his compass they will make a circle before starting out for 8 recon naissance over the German lines. All

SENATOR PEARCE.

Senator G. F. Pearce, the Australian Minister of Defense, who has recently completed preparations to supply nlu- nitions on a large scale to the Allies, is 45 years old, and began his career as a carpenter and joiner. He has held the post of Minister of Defense in the Australian Commonwealth since 1908, and a Labor party leader for more than 5 years. In the plans of Senator Pearce for Australian par ticipation in the gigantic task of fill ing the needs of the British War Of fee he has been hampered by the fact that Australia's manufacturing facili- ties are comparatively limited. At first it was impossible for Australia to turn out more shells and ammuni- ton than wefe required for the Com monwealth's own needs, but it is un- derstood that the output is now much greater. In this phase of his activi- ties the Australian Minister Of De- fense is aided by a special munitions committee. which he appointed some months ago. It is unlikely that Aus tralia will be able to send any com siderable quantities of munitions to England for some months yet, but Senator Pearce recently expressed the opinion that by Christmas his depart ment will be supplying 9 large and regular quota of high explosive and shrapnel shells. Senator Pearce's s was born in South Australia. In his young manhood he worked as a car penter and for a time was a prospec- tor in the Coolgardie gold fields but was unsuccessful in his quest for the precious metal. He entered politics as representative of the Labor par ty, and in the first Commonwealth election was honored with a seat in the Federal Senate. He was re- elected in 1906, and two years later became Minister of Defense, a posi-

SUNDAY IS ..BLUEy ENOUGH

A recent attempt to get a bill through the Alabama Senate placing the ban on all Sunday amusements met with overwhelming defeat.

Nearly 40, 900 signatures attached to petitions from the larger cities of the state were presented. The bill provid- ed for prohibition of baseball, moving pictures and all Sunday amusements except golf. An amendment was adopted which gave cities of over 25.oQo the power to regulate Sunday amusements through the city com missions.

One can see the wavelike movements
of the stomach as its walls close and
