 While here and there instances undoubtedly occur Of thoughtless and inconsiderate conduct on the part of officers and unreasoning complaint on the part of the men, I am still persuaded that in our great army there is a growing realization that it Is both possible and useful to be faith full to military discipline and, at the same time, to the democratic ideals of our country"

LOW ARMY RANK NOT SOCIAL WAR,
 BAKER ASSERTS

Washington, Dec. 20-'Distinctions of rank in the army are solely in the interest of military discipline. They Imply no social distinction. Indeed, in a country like ours the advantage of education and culture will very fre- Quently be found in favor of the sol dier, and yet 1t is necessary that the soldier should acquire by continuous and unvarying practice the habit of Instant obedience to his superior. This is as trite of officers as it Is of men,"
 This statement is made by Secretary of War Baker in communication to Vice President Marshall in response to the Senate resolution asking what rules and regulations of the War De- partment prevent commissioned of hcers from having intercourse with privates and mingling with them in social affairs, or which tend to caste distinction.
 MT. Baker quotes a paragraph i from the army regulations as the only rule on the subject and which forbids superiors ito tnjure those under their authority by tyranntcal or capricious conduct" and which enjoins officers to keep in as close touch as possible with the men under their command md to build up such relations of con- 1dence and sympathy as will insure the free approach of their men to them for counsel and assistance" " While always maintaining discipline.

U. s. AVIATION CAMP ELICITS
 WARM PRAISE

Paris. Dec. 2o.lThe. wonders of a vast American training camp for av- iators- in the center of France are de- scribed enthusiastically in the Petit Parisien by Paul Ginisty, who has just visited the camp. With the ex- ception of a few huts, all the material was brought from America. The work was begun in September under the direction of 25S men, experts in vario us branches, and the driving power which they are putting into their tasks was evident on every hand. From this camp fully trained pilots will be sent to the front. French ayiators are there to give the benefit of their experience.
 The arrangements which have been made for the comfort and entertain ment of the American soldiers in all the camps are praised by M Ginisty, who also was greatly impressed by the highly developed administrative organization which has been perfect ed. He was especially struck by g. ta- b1e at the aviation camp which re- cords the progress of each pilot from the time of his first flight until he is performing acrobattc tricks in the air.
