judgment. 1t is on the observer that
the success or failure of the mission
depends. Too much initiative on the
part of the pilot is not desirable.
In the case of fighting pilots, the re-
verse is true. Their one duty is to hunt
down and destroy the enemy wherever
they can find them. A fighting pilot
must not only be a clever pilot and a
good shot. but as well he must have
degree of courage that borders on
recklessness. Shooting at the Germans
from a safe distance is not sufficient:
he must close in and get his man. or

Doesn't Demoralize Enemy.

Great stress has been laid on the de-
moraliZing effect of such a visitation.
Undoubtedly in the beginning il did
create some such effect; once heavy ar
t1llery. gas clouds. flame throwers and
tanks We're demoralizing factors. but
now that they have become a regular
feature of warfare they have ceased
to exert such an influence. and their
value is exactly proportional to the
actual service they render. The same
applies to aeroplanes- Not only must
an effective demoralizing feature be
new, but. as well, il must be of such
a nature that the enemy cannot strike
back
This is the weak point Of an airplane
'-charge''-the infantrymen can and do
strike back effectively. The aviator
shoots at the men in the trenches and
they shoot back at him. Their chances
of 8 hit are as good as his. Only two
days ago, while one of the men in our
unit was engaged in this pastime. a
bullet fired from the trenches struck
q vital pa5> of his motor. He, his OBJ
server and the machine landed in a
heap a few hundred yards behind our
lines. If he had not been highly
ski1lful, experienced pilot. France
would have lost two valuable and
highly trained officers.

RECRUITING FOR X
co. IN GREENSBORO
CAPT. BEN KING AND NINE 9TH
ERS OPEN HEADQUARTERS
IN OWENSBORO.

Captain Ben King. of Company X,
Owensboro's own representation in
the national army, assisted by nine
members of his command, arrived
in Owensboro Friday and began
making preparations for filling his
company. A regulation army tent
was set up in the plot in front OF
the Confederate monument on the
southwest corner of the courthouse
block soon after noon.
Recruiting headquarters were
scene of activity all of the after
noon and the company was aug
mented by the addition of several
members. Capt. Kings aides were
full of pep" and were out gather
ing in all of their old friends and
showing them the advantages Of
army life. The following were MEM
bers of the company to return with
their captain:
First Lieutenant William o. Sib-
ert. First Sergeant Roy Woodward,
Sergeant Russell Taught, Corporals
Robert f. Lyddane, Thomas +. Bar
nett and Lynn Lumenhouser, Mu-
stefan Ben Edwards, Privates Char
lev Girvin and Webster Snead. The
Young men gave evidence of their
regular habits by their splendid
physical condition and were lound in
their praise of what the army had
done for them.
! One of the most urgent argu-
ments being put forth by the boys
at the recruiting station is that by
! Joining with them now those who
later probably will be selected in
the draft will be with the homo
boys, They will be commanded by
home officers and altogether would
be in more congenial company than
if sent hither and thither and mix
ed in with other young men whom
they had not known before.
The argument has proven efec'
tive apd resulted in the enlistment
of three in the aftrnoon. although
the men and officers were hardly
expecting such quick results. Tho
new enlistments were Otto Jones
Ernest NJ. Whitehouse and Wendal
Walden, all of Owensboro. They
will be attached to the company un
til the physical examination can b'
gone through with. They will thel
be sent forward to join the com
