Anxlously Await Action.
AMERICANS LONnON.

London. .--( Correspondence. - Sew
eral detachments of American sol
diers 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, Bond
street, or in the shops around Oxford
circus.
To the British eye, the notable diff
ference between the Americans in
training and the British squads along
side them. is a somewhat more demo-
cratic 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 command of a senior
non-commissioned officer. He is COM
monty called "sergeant-maior" about
the camp, although his correct title
which suggests the navy rather than
the army, Is master-signaling electric
ian.
When the United States came into
the war. this officer was in charge OF
group OF men on CONSTITUTIONAL warb
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 deyoting its time to learning
the construction OF an airplane The
men are at times little impatient
about the deliberate methods Of The
English instructors. and would rather
have little less theory and a little
more practice. But they know that tn,
practice is only matter of few
weeks now.
In the matter OF discipline. th,
Americans are a little less observan
OF the letter Of the law than the Brit
ish recruits. ''For instance" said one

Julia Lively told something of the
wonderful story of Mary Reed, who

disease Of leprosy. She tore herself
away from those who loved her. with
out trusting herself to say good-by
and finally consecrated her life to the
relief of the lepers of India. Her
spirit of conservation in her lot of
suffering and isolation is one of the
