RUTH LAW HOME TO
 OFFER HER SERVICES
Woman Fier Has Been Studying
 Aviation in France

New York. April 5-After an absence of several months, passed principally in the aviation camps at Campiesne, villecorblay and Buc, France. Mrs. Charles Oliver, who is better known as Miss Ruth Law. aviatrice. returned to America yesterday with her hus- band on board the steamship Alfonso XII, of the Spanish line. she said. rather ruefully. that she had made but one flight of any consequence. But 1t was the speediest flight ever made in my nfe," she added. Tt was Ut the rate of 11S miles an hour. while the fastest I ever made in America was 1O3.''
 Miss Law said she also had made a flight with Paul Moraine. maker of the Moraine-Saulnfer aeroplanes. fast est and most up to date flying ma chimes in the world. And of the Caudrenne and Peuget machines she was equally enthusiastic. They are not as swift as the Moraine- -Saulnier type, she said, but they can carry a great deal more.
 And particularly the Caudrenne machines" she said, "now carry a B. inch gun, which has the recoil cham bers and is so synchronized with the propeller blades that it can Ire its shell through them while they are making 5000 revolutions a minute.
 Miss Law brought from France. "Poilu." a Belgian police dog. He was muzzled and carried on his head e shrapnel helmet, such as dogs. as well as men, are protected with in the trenches.
 "Poilu is a good, nice dog." said Miss Law, but just look at his molars and canines," pointing at the animals powerful teeth, as he yawned. He makes use of them with telling effect when he is ordered to attack"
 When Miss Law uttered the word, attack" Poilu arose hastily from his reposeful position and ,pricking up his ears. looked searchingly, apparently undecided about the person whom he was supposed to attack. The report CTS discreetly and quickly stepped be- yond the end of Poilu's leash, for. even muxzled, a dog that was able to display 50 large a part of its denture was not to be triiied with.
 Asked why she had not made more flights, Miss Law said: ''The French men are peculiar in that respect. They don't want women to do anything that looks heroic. It's all right for |. woman to run . street car or work in . factory: but when 1t comes to doing something that has . touch of real danger in it, they arc too eal- lant, I suppose, to let a woman tackle it." She said that she has returned to offer her services to her country, either as aviation instructress or in any other capacity.

I. ATKINS EXPECTS
 TO SEE U. $. TROOPS
Believes America Will Send Army
 Across Ocean

From Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press British Headquarters in France, Via London, April 5.- There is much speculation in the British army as to what assistance, in military sense, America might ren- der the Allies. Regardless of what theorists may say. practical fighting men here believe that the United States would want to have represen- tation with the Allied army on this
 front and would send over a consider
 able fighting force within six months,
 provided the war lasts that long.
 One basis for this belief is that both
 Germany and Great Britain are fight
 ing with new armies, Britain because
 she did not have an army fn the Euro
 pean sense before the war began, and
 Germany because her forces are largely made up of classes called to the colors since 1914, a large propor-
 ton having only i've months train ing. It is generally figured now that a good soldier can be made within six months. It is thought here that America can easily meet that require ment.
 It Is also argued in army circles that America might well specialize in such branches as aviation and ma chine gun attachments. The air planes would have. however, to come up to a high standard and must make at least 15O miles an hour to take rank with the best English and 1 French machines. Ono definite thing | expected is that America will un. | doubtedly increase manifold the hos l pital and medical units which she al l ready voluntarily is rendering.

REICHSTACHAS TEN POLITICAL
 ORGANIZATIONS
Members Not Bound But Represent the Whole
 People.

A most unique legislative body is the Reichstag. Under the German constitution, article iv., section la general legislation as to the whole domain of civil and criminal law, and of judicial procedure" is vested in the Bundesrat and the Reichstag.
 By analogy, writes Fred H. Peter son in Case and Comment we class these bodies with our Senate and House of Representatives which, in a general sense, is correct; in detail there is such divergency that conn parison fails. The Bundesrat is the Federal Council, whose members are appointed by the sovereigns of the 25 respective states, and the senates of the three repufbIcs-free cities-repre- senting their particular state much like ambassadors to a foreign court i;
 for the constitution provides that each state may appoint as many plenipo- tentiaries to the Bundesrat as it has votes," but a state must vote as a unit, and the kaiser must guarantee the members diplomatic protection.
 Their term of office is at the pleasure ! of the appointing power. Our Senate
 represents the sovereignty of the states, for it is a Senate of the United States. The House of Representative 1 is of local representation, and is, therefore. nearest to the people, rep kresenting them in their sovereign ca
