AVIATION SERVICE NOT
THE MOST DANGEROUS
Records of Allies Show 1t Is
Fourth In the Percentage of
Casualties.

Washington. - Contrary to popular
opinion, the mir service Of the army, al.
though perhaps the most thrilling
branch, Is not the most dangerous.
Captain Aubrey Lippincott, In charge
Of the personnel of the signal corps of
the army, says tho records Of our al
lies put mir service fourth In the per-
centagc Of losses. The heaviest losses
have been IN tho medical corps, next in
Infantry and third in artillery.
Although applications havo been nu.
merous for enrolment in the six cadet
schools for flyers recently opened, Cap
tain Appincott says many moro mon
will DO needed before the end Of tue
year. One hundred and fifty mon are
trained weekly. Enough men hayo been
accepted to keep the schools supplied
with recruits for moro than two
months, but several thousand will be
required later on, rs the supply Of men
must be constantly augmented.
Only n small percentage of the men
who apply sior enrolment In cadet
aviation schUols ut 'thv"ullifcrsitfes Ell
California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Cornell can DO accepted. The re-
quirements are stricter than In any
other branch OF tho service. The i'm.
preston that only college graduates
arc admitted is incorrect, but n sub
stantial foundation for intensive tech
meal training Is necessary. 1t has oft.
Ell been found that three years at col
lege or its equivalent gives man the
knowledge which makes the training
como with reasonable rapidity.
