TRAINING AIR FIGHTERS.
Flying tO Begin This Week Oh nli-
nOis Aviation Field.

Flying. will begin this week on the
first of the big new government avia,
tion training fields. at Rantoul, Ill.
Howard Coffin, chairman Of the air.
craft production board of the Council
Of National Defense, announced or
his return from q visit to the training
fields now under preparation at Ran
toul, Dayton. Ohio. and Mount Cle-
mems. Mich. There will probably be
20 fiiers on the ground at Rantoul
this week and all three fields will be
completed by July is.
THE construction work on Chan
ute Field at Rantoul has broken all
records" Mr.. Coffin said. "A half
million dollars worth of buildings
have been put up practically within a
month. They form village a mile
long and the speed with which they
have virtually sprung out OF the
ground has been deeply impressive. A
few weeks ago the big mile-square
space was simply a collection of corn
fields.
'The explanation for ehe speed
with which the work has been done
Is the spirit which has filled the men
engaged In 1t. Union men and nom
union men are working side by side
In the effort to advance the national
interest. The only outward distinction
Is that the union men are working
behind a big American flag which is
advanced as the job progresses. The
sole idea. which has occupied the
minds Of the workmen has been the
desire to break all records on this war
job and there has not been a disagree
ment or row of any kind since 1t start
ed. I was impressed with the fact
that these men were doing their part
In the nations service just as earnestly
as though drilling in the ranks with
guns on their shoulders.
There are 5000 men working on
the Wilbur Wright Field at Dayton
and 1000 on the Sclfridge Field at
Mount Clemens. The Dayton field rs
the most impressive, as 1t is more
than twice the size of the others. 1t
Is intended to accommodate four
squadrons instead of two and is about
1 "a miles wide and 1-2 miles long.
Orvillc Wright is actively superintcnd- :
ing the work at Dayton.
"The preliminary training schools,
now training cadets will be prepared
to send quotas of students to the
training fields as soon as the fields are
ready and the work will be In full
swing by the last of July. Arrange
ments have already been made 70,
training planes and although tho full
quota OF machines will not be avail
able by the 18th the shortage will not
be serious"

I'm Retreat After Dunajcc Disaster
Petrograd, July 11.-Russia is ring
ing with the name of the latest hero
of the war, Lieut.. Gen. l.. G. Korni-
loft. victor of Galicia, whose aston
ishing feat first proved that the new
advance is no mere flash in the pan
Gen. KOrniloff is the most daring
chivalrOus and scholarly officer in the
army For a romantic rise from hum
bic origin, Russian history has only
one parellel-that of Michael Vasi-
lievitch Lomonosof, fsherman's son
poet philosopher, creator of the mod
ern Russian language, in the first half
Of the eighteenth century.
From log cabin to general is the
literal text of the chronicle Of Gen
Korniloff's career. Born 46 years ago
Ia son of a need-stricken Karalins!I
Cossack in Western Siberia, young
Korniloff early began rough forest
work. At the age of nine he received
his first instruction. When barely 13,
he, by his own exertions and all night
studies, qualified to enter the Siberian
cadets corps, largely corr posed of sons
of local magnates. Thanks again to
his own efforts he gained free training
at the Michalilovsk artillery school.
wheer his amazing mathematical fac
ulties brought approval from the au-
thorities. even though he was suspect
ed. with reason, of being a secret rev.
olutionary.
Next Gen. Korniloff was an officer in
the guards and being penniless. he was
obliged to serve in Turlestan. In the
Japanese war he received the rank of
colonel and was entrusted with a des-
perate mission--that of covering the
retreat from Mukden of one of Gen.
Kuropatkin's shattered armies. 1t was
executed with such resolution and
skill he was given the St. George
cross. Later he travelled all through
Turkestan, the Caucasus and Europe
observing and writing in
valuable books on Turkestan and the
countries oficentral Asia.
He speaks not only all European
but also Persian. Chinese
and every dialect Of central Asia.
At the outbreak of the great war
he was I'm command of the Forty
eighth division. In Galica, in 1915
he repeated the Mukden feat, cover
ing under an unexampled month long
hail of Austro- German shells wherein
his own force broke through the en-
circTing foe, but he himself was
wounded and taken prisoner by the
Austrians.
Enemy press related that their
generals were so impressed with Gen.
Korniloff's accomplishments and noble
bearing that the return of his sword
showed greater honor to Russia's ad-
mirable crichton than to their own
victorious commander. After Q daring
flight from an Austrian prison camp
and astonishing adventures he reach
cd Russia.
At the outbreak Of the revolution
he was invited to command the troops
of Pctrograd, implying full confidence
in revolutionary Russia. When the dis
orders arose Gen. KOrnlOff, fearing
the necessity of repressing. resigned
saying he would sooner shoot the foe
than his own cOuntrymen. He took
command of the Eighth army, whose
brilliant exploit is due primarily to
him.
