Chivalry Exists in
Aerial War Corps

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Aug. 24-"Though II has
been repeatedly stated that chivalry does
not exist In this war" said a British
aviator This does not apply to tho Brit
ish and German aviation branches,
Whether It Is the individuaIism OF our
work and Its novelty. or whatever Il Is
that 10 responsible. something of the old
spirit Of knighthood maintains among the
riders OF the air. When a British avia-
tor has TO descend In the German lines
whether from engine trouble or because
his engine or his plane has been dam
aged by anti-air craft gunfire the next
day the Germans report to US his name
and whether he survived and II so
whether he IL wounded. We always do
the same. 1t has come to be a custom"
The reports are made In a manner
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 10
called a message bag Is dropped over
the British lines by a German or over the
German lines by British aviator-some-
times when he Is In the midst OF burst

Long Streamers are attached 10 the little
cloth bag. These as they nirouette down
to the earth nom a height OF 1000 or
5000 feet attract the attention OF soldiers
In the neighborhood and they run out to
get the prize when Il lands.
II Is taken to battalion headquarters.
which wires the fact on to the aviation
headquarters. where the fate OF com
rade may be known few hours after
he has left his homo aerodrome; and. In
another few hours, someone In England
may know the fate OF a relative.
That Is one Of the advantages OF be-
longing TO the flying corps" say tho
British aviators. at may be weeks BE-
fore hts relatives and comrades know
whether a man who Is missing after a
trench attack or oOunter-attaek Is a pris-

this don't interfere with your fighting

DEMAND FOR MORE MEN
Three Hundred Thousand Additional
Soldiers Are Asked for by
Lord Kitchener.
CALL BANTAM BATTAILoNs

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 2z.-Iord Kitchener has
asked for half of the available recruiting
material Of the United Kingdom for his
newest army. He wants to raise an adj
ditional 10000 men and an analysis of
census statistics indicates there are not
over 100000 men left in the United King
dow to draw on. n the industrial needs
of the country are taken into considera-
ton.
Army estimates for February provided
for 100000 men. These. and perhaps
more. are serving. According to the
Daily News, It would take another mil
lion to cover the navy, the armed aux
Hilary vessels. the niine sweepers and ap-
plicants to the army rejected as ply
sically unfit.
Lloyd George IL authority for the
statement that 100000 civilians are en-
ployed In the manufacture OF equipment
and munitions and in their transport
Another 100000. comprising policemen
firemen, officials. seamen, miners and
laborers. keep the civil life of the
country going. Great Britain, therefore
Is employing a grand total Of $4,000
men.
VI OhANCO
The last census gave the United King
dom 100000 men of military age, which
is between IS and 70 years of age.
Deducting the soldiers and sailors now
serving and those previously rejected, to-
gether with the necessary civilian war
and industrial workers, there arc only
OO0'Ooo men OF military age left out of
which to raise the new army OF 10000.
The advocates OF the volunteer system
say this can be done. Conscriptionists
are as yet ANAL. II noisy. minority.
Kitchener has been severely criticised
at times for his recruiting methods, but
In one Instance. At least. he knew more
about his business than the public.
When In the early days of the war he
raised the physical standard from five
feet four inches to five feet six inches.
newspaper critics told him that this was
an age OF science and not of Drawn, and
the little man proved the best fighter BY
reason OF Being able to live on less food
Increase in Demand.
But Kitchener was then facing the
problem OF clothing, equipping. feeding.
quartering and drilling the new men.
From a normal peace Issue of 246,OOO mai,
OF shoes year to the British army. the
order was Immediately jumped up 20
$4,000 pairs; suits of wooden under
clothes. from 114,OOO to 100000; 10000
uniforms to $4,000 and other supplies IN
proportion. Besides. training grounds
ana quarters had TO be prepared and OF.
fieers found to drill the men.
and to take cover easier In action.
To shut down on the supply OF recruits
until those accepted could DO cared for,
Kitchener raised the size limit, which he
has gradually reduced to five feet two
inches for the bantam battaIionG
The fact that England has managed ~
accomplish all this without conacrtDtion
Is the chief argument OF the uphOlders OF
the volunteer system
