ATTACHMENTS OF AMERICANS
 IN TRAINING

LONDON, Nov. 7.-Several de- tachments of American soldiers in training for aviation work are now located at aerodromes within the confines of Greater London, and are seen during their leisure hours sight seeing about the city or doing their shopping along Regent street, or in the shops around Oxford Circus.
 To the British eye the notable difference between the Americans in training and the British squads alongside them, is somewhat more Democratic flavor in the American ranks. In one American camp, the spirit of self-government is carried so far that no commissioned officer is on duty there at present, the detachment being under the com many of a senior on-commissioned officer. He is commonly called Ser geant Major about the camp, al though his correct title, which sug- gests the Navy rather than the Ar my, is Master Signalling Electrician.
 When the United States came into the war this officer was in charge of a group of men on constructional work in the United States The men under him have been recruited chiefly from automobile factories with a sprinkling of young collegians. The squad is at present devoting it's time to learning the construction of an aeroplane. The men are at times little impatient about the deliberate methods of the English instructors, and would rather have a little less theory and little more practice. But they know that the practice is only a matter of a few weeks.
 In the matter of discipline, the Americans are a little less observant of the letter of the law than the British recruits "For instance" said one we temper judgment with custom. If an officer looks as if he was tired of raising his arm we don't bother him. We don't go around the streets salute-hunting.
