Four OF them came upon AdjutAnt Luf-

Lufberry pulled through unframed.
He was unable to get" any fhis Ad-

The Score IL Even
So far the score with the Germans
is even-the ten haven't dropped an
American and not a one OF the Lafay-

down one of the ten.

EXACT JUSTICE, /"

Government Boards to Show
No Discrimination.

Exact Justice" will be exercised in
taking conscriptS into the military
service OF the United States, according
to Brig. Gen. Enoch Crowder. provost
marshal general Of the United States
army.
Fears on the part OF parents that
friendship or personal considerations
might cause the county and city regis
tration boards throughout the country
to discriminate between young men
liable to service are unfounded, said
General Crowder today.
There II no ground for such q
fear" he said. "The law IL specific
and allows no latitude to the boards
either In the matter OF registration or
In the matter OF exemption from serv-
ice. Every man within the age limits
fixed by the seleotivs service act
must register. and the penalty OF the
law for evasion OF registration will
fall not only on the man who fails to
appear, but on any member OF the reg
istration board who may be shown to
be in collision with the person who
attempts to escape his duty.
Further than this, the registration
boards will never act as exemption

WITH THE AMERICAN AIR
CORPS WITT THE FRENCH ARMY.
May 11.-Francs proposes to show her
appreciation Of the American flying
squadron's work by giving It the
finest equipment OF any similar corps

It was learned here today that the
Lafayette escadrille f. Ehortly to be
re-outftted with new French aero
planes, which are the highest power
ed and fastest yet invented 1t IL a
graceful expression OF the universal
French tribute that the American fly
ers are the equal OF any similar aerial
force in the French army and that
means in the whole world.
The Lafayette escadrille will be
glad to get the new machines-out
they would be happier IL they could
get American uniforms. No one Of
the members has yet been able to as
certain what sort of a uniform an
American aviator IL supposed to wear.
Because OF this, the corps is still
clothed in the issue OF the French
Quartermaster's department

But Edward Hinkle, Of Cincinnati,
corporal in the squadron and q
graduate of the Paris Bsaux Arts, has
designed a new symbol OF the corps
to be worn on the uniform and paint
ed on the Lafayette sscadrille's
planes. Everywhere they are carry
ing this symbol into the lighting for
America as well as for France. Ev-
erywhere the Germans have learned
to recognize It and concentrate their

tween the Americans and q certain

The ten are never sighted apart,
and they have been nicknamed "the

peculiar battle formation which they
adopt They fly in . huge circle,
their machines alternately winging
high into the heavens and then low

In the fight on the cemetery road. it
