German Air SCOUT Adventure.

Many aeroplanes captured during months
fighting in Europe, but seldom does aeroplane
land on an enemys aviation field without fight.
In the December Popular Science Monthly and
Worlds Advance appears article telling of an
amusing incident which recently occurred "somc-
where in France" At an important British avia-
ton station in Northern France great German
bplane was recently to emerge from the fog.
AS the anti-aircraft guns were about to fire upon
it. the machine circled several times around the
field and finally alighted.
Surprise changed to amazement when the
English aviators, mechanics, and officers saw the
German warplane drive quietly across the field and
enter an empty hangar. When the English reached
the hangar they found the two German aviators,
who calmly told them that they had lost their
way in the fog, and that becoming short of fuel
they had decided to alight. Jokingly one of the
Germans remarked, "If you will kindly give us
little petrol we should be able to return home "
The Germans were taken to headquarters and
placed under arrest. The captured machine was
guns.

Capt. Marlborough Churchill. In
spector-instructor of the field artillery
militia for the District Of Columbia,

quarters at Washington. has been
ordered to New Haven to organize four
new batteries of field artillery at Yale
University During his absence Lieut.
William E Dunn. Third Field Artil-
Iery, will discharge the duties of in
Observation-Disclosures of the District OF
Columbia field artillery.
The new field artillery at Yale Uni
versity will be a part of the organized
militia of the State of Connecticut
Its officers will be composed principal
" of Yale graduates and its enlisted
men entirely of students. II is plann-
ed TO have the batteries go into camp
with the National Guard and be train
ed under the same system of instruc-
ton In all probability the students
in the battery will spend part of their
summers vacation at the field artil-
Iery camp of instruction at Tobyhan-
ma.
This system of maintaining organi-
nations OF the National Guard at the
colleges and universities is being en-
couraged by the War Department. With
such n system the War Department
will be authorized to furnish the stu
dents with equipment and pay them

Tamperins with Marriage.

Z The proposed eugenics marriage law advocated
in New Jersey by health officials provides that ain
the case of persons going out of the State to
escape its consequences their marriage shall be
void. This seems to be considerable step in
advance OF previous eugencs marriage legislation.
Can it be supposed that the law would accomplish
a benefit in any degree equal to the harm that
might be effected by this multiplying restriction
Tampering with marriage does not improve it.
