There is no lack of enthuiasm and it
may be expected that the Americans
will sirpri-- the Allies by the char |
acter of their achievement. The pro-
gramme appeals to the instinct of
the people of the United States. and.
unless 1 am. very much mistaken.
though there may be at first too
marked a tendency to stands-dize the
engines and planes. the pilots will be
frst-class. Volunteers have for some
time been coming forward in large
numbers, and the real problem will
be to provide them with a sufficient
complement of machines of the f1nest
types for training AS to that point.
it should be added that the authori-
ties in the United Staes are receiving
all the aid which the Allies after
three years of war, can give, and they
are being provided with designs and
plans from this side of the. Atlantic
Consequently, although there will
necessarily be some delay before
| Americans intervene in large num-
hers in the war in the air, eventually
| they: will assuredly make big dem
onstration. The whole programme
has been boldly conceived by the best
brains Of the navy and army. i'll as

fish Waters, Aug. Auth orization
to spend all the money necessary
properly to equip their new club
house with athletic apparatus and
musical instruments has just been re-
ceived by the. American sailors from
the navy department In Washington.
The news was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the men,. It
gives them what amounts to carte
blanche in the matter of providing
for their shore amusements over
here.ig ss se esAs e
The first step upon receipt of the
welcome news was TO dispatch an or
der ITO the United States for $1,000
worth of musical instruments to aug
ment the string orchestra which EN-
tertains the men every Saturday
night in their new clubhouse. Their
order also calls for plentiful supply
of the latest ragtirne and other typf-
cal American music which has made
! a big hit with the native population.
| The next order will he for athletic
apparatus to equip the gymnasium
feature of the club now nearing COM
pletion. This equipment will include
wrestling mats, punching bags, box
ing gloves weight machines, horses,
rowing machines and other fixtures
essential to an up-to-date gymnasium
floor. Besides six shower. baths there
will be a tea room and Sa place where
| the men can purchase tobaccos and
i light refreshments at pre-Var prices.
The concert hall feature of the club
has been playing moving pictures and
concerts to crowded houses for a
month. 1t is generally patronized
not only by the men blu their officers.
The British Commodore of the Port
was the honored guest at show the
other night, the feature of which was
a lecture on flying at the western
battle front delivered by a Canadian
major in the Royal Flying Corps
from Toronto. The major cut short
his lecture tour in a nearby city to
come over to entertain the American

French lines IN France.
The majors active service at the
/ front was cut short last nyear by 8
