Air Service Attracts Them.

Air Service Attracts Them.
Army officers have noted one curious
thing. Every time that there is print
ed detailed account of particularly
Interesting fight above the front in
France, the number of Americans who
aspire to service in the aviation corps
increases. There is q lure about the
air service which some people per-
haps will find it hard to understand,
but 1t exists and there is seemingly no
room left for doubt that America can
secure as many volunteers as it wishes
for the literally high service of fight
Ing in flying machines.
1t is not permitted to tell, even If
one should happen to know, how many
aviators America already has sent to
France, but it can be said that already
some of Uncle Sam's nephews who
have not been connected with the
French aviation service, as some of
their fellow countrymen have, already
are being trained to undergo their first
ordea! of battle. 1t is Il real ordeal
and the fact that it is known to be
such makes the Washington officials
particularly gratified that so many
young Americans seem TO prefer
branch of the service in which they
are to give battle with no foundation
of earth under their feet"
Statistics of casualties compiled by
the French and British governments
go to show that the aviation corps is
not the most dangerous branch of the
service. 1t is understood that more
or wounded than aviators, with of
course due regard to the difference in
numbers of men in the three branches

Neutral Diplomats Uneasy.

Ambassadors and ministers accred-
tied 10 Washington by neutral coun-
tries are having unpleasant days of it.
The recent disclosures of correspon-
dence from Argentine and Mexico
transmitted for Germany by neutral
diplomats have had their effect in this
city. Every representative of n neu-
trial country here feels that he is un-
der suspicion, whether he is or not,
and the whole thing makes for discOm-
Tort.
1t probably Is hard for persons liv-
ng away from the sphere OF Washing
ton life to understand thoroughly just
what it means to have suspicion stalk
Ing through the streets and sitting at
some of the dinner boards in war
time capital. Washington essentially
is social place and as its society
largely is of the official kind, the sus
pected and the suspicious must meet If
not daily at least weekly in social
way.
1t would be altogether wrong to say
1t is certain that the state department
suspects the neutral diplomats of any
acts which would violate their obliga-
tions to America as hostess country,
hut the feeling elsewhere throughout
the city is one of suspicion, and this
fact cannot we'll be discounted. It is
known that the state department keeps
a searching eye out for diplomatic vio-
latfons of neutrality

Makes Them Uncomfortable.

1t is easy enough TO see, therefore,
how uncomfortable some of the diplo-
mats representing neutral countries
must be In these harsh days. 1t
should be taken for granted that none
of them is guilty of having done the
things which II has been proved one
or two of their brethren serving in
other countries did in behalf of Amer
ica's enemy. but so long as misdeeds
are done here and there, just so long,
Of course. 1t must be expected that
suspicion even of the innocent will be
kept alive.
The hardest experiences which fall
TO the lot of some of these neutral dip
lomats come when they are paying
social calls which in effect are calls
of official duty, in the afternoons, or
attending dinners given by members
of the residential society or by officials
of the government living here tenn
porarily.
Since August, 1914, Washington Of
fetal or residential hosts never have
invited to the same gathering the dip
lomats from any two of the warning
countries. Therefore there never was
any danger that at an afternoon tea or
at dinner Germany's ambassador
would meet the British ambassador;
or that the ambassador from Austria
would meet the ambassador from
Italy; or that any other awkward
meetings of like kind would take place.
1t always has been the custom, how
ever, to invite neutral diplomats to
functions attended by representatives
of either the allied countries or the
central powers. This custom has to
be kept up because, as war does not
exist between the United States and
neutral countries nor between the al
lies and the same countries, IL is
supposed that the representatives Of
all can meet and be cordial one to an
other.
Today the difficulty lies in the fact
that the representatives Of one neutral
country in other lands have been
shown to have been dealing with the
enemy in n diplomatic way. When
the mission of neutral country in Ar
rentine consented TO do something for
Germany that 1t ought not To have
lone. It hurt not only itself but its
brother missions in every country in
the world. The act of one man cast
suspicion On the diplomatic lives OF
dozens of other men.
