The following extracts from the
Army Regulations and Manual of
Courts Martial is published for the in
formation of those concerned, and with
view to having returned to their re-
spective commands the few deserters
from the First Mississippi Infantry
now at large.
1t shall be lawful for any civil officer
having authority under the laws of the
United States, or any state, territory,
district or possession of the United
States. to arrest offenders, summarily
to arrest deserters from the military
service of the United States and de-
liver them into the custody of the
military authorities of the United
States.
Authority of Citizens other than
Civil Officers to Arrest Deserters:
The statute comforting authority up
on civil officers to apprehend and de-
liver deserters should not be construed
as taking away the authority for their
apprehension by citizen under an or
der or direction of a military officer,
but the Legislation could be treated as
providing an additional means of secur-
ing the arrest of deserters by confer
ring authority upon civil officers to ap-
prehend them without military orders,
leaving the former method still legal.
The offer of reward for the appre-
hension and delivery of deserter,
coupled with the act of congress which
provides for the payment of such a re-
ward, is considered sufficient authority
for the arrest of deserter by citi-
zen.
A reward of $4,000 will be paid to
any civil officer or civilian for the ap-
prehension and delivery to the proper
military authority, at military post
or camp.
A soldier absenting himself from his
command for more than ten days,
without lesye from his commanding
nflfrer is considered 3 deserter' -

CUBAN AIR SQUADRON

Havana. Cuba, Sept. Colonel Man.

Cubas alliance with the United States
in the war against Germany by organic
ing an aviation unit which. it is an

complete equipment, in the near future
Though other means Of cooperation
have assumed shape here since Cuba's
declaration Of war against Germany on
April s last, it is believed probably, from
the enthusiasm shown by its members,
that the "Escadrille Cubaine," as the
flying units will be called, will be the
first body Of fighting men from Cuba
to serve on French soil.
Colonel Coronados plans called for a
body of twenty-five trained aviators to
comprise the escadrille. but already
thirty-three youths. who are represen-
tatives Of the best families Of Cuba,
have volunteered to take the prescribed
aviation course and individually to bear
the expense Of their airplanes and equip
ment Many Of the volunteers for the
escadrille are graduates Of French uni
versities. and all speak French and are
aviation enthusiasts. Senator Coronado
has just returned from New York,
where he conferred with officials OF
the Aero Club Of America and airplane
manufacturers over the details Of the
escadrille's organization.
Il believe that the escadrille viii be
the most practical and at the same time
the most appropriate way Of showing

Another important step could be ta-
ken by defining the relative rights OF
driver and pedestrian. Vehicles
should unquestionably have the right
to use the highways and pedestrians
the right to use the sidewalks, yet We.
hicles must pass walks at stree inter
sections and pedestrians have to cross
highways. Would it not be reason
