AMERICANS TO AVOID
MISTAKES OF ALLIES
Rules and Regulations Of Provost
Marshal's Department Are
Changed in France.

PARIS, Tuesday. September IL ode
layed) Notwithstanding the increased
size Of the American Army, together
with necessary changes in the rules
and regulations of the provost mar
shaTs department, the principal duties
of the department will consist as here
tofore in traffic control. maintenance
of discipline and the care of prisoners
of war.
Traffic control, which consists of reg
ulation of the movements of troops
munitions and supplies in the war zone
and surrounding territory, has become
of prime Importance in this war be-
cause the field of operations is limited
and speedy and orderly troop and
transport movements are necessary to
insure the success of huge armies. The
American system of traffic control will
be patterned largely after that of the
British, which has been found most ef-
f1cient in the war zone. Thousands of
pamphlets with the rules and regula-
tions are being printed and will be dis
tributed for the guidance of members
of the provost marshals department
The maintenance of discipline in the
American Army involves the use Of
military police, which also are under
control of the provost marshal. The
provost marshals of the allied armies
has been of great assistance to the
Americans in formulating new rules.
Their experience has proved useful and
will enable the Americans to avoid the
mistakes made by the allies in the
early stages Of the war.

No Unemployment There.

There is practically no unemployment
in Norway. The latest government re-
port declares that in the whole country
there Were only 116 unemployed labor
erS in excess of vacant jobs and that
there would have been no unemployed
but for the sudden closing down of
factory at Frederikshalf on account of
inability to get coal.
The socialists said that the recent
demonstration was against the gov
ernment and the storthing, who have
not dared to restrain the food specula-
tors. On the contrary. Gunnar Knud-
sen and his fellow ministers have been
warning with all their might against
these gentry. The Norwegian minis
ters demanded cheap tonnage but the
ship owners and investors clamored for
the maximum freights against which
the rest of the world is struggling.
Then an epidemic of greed reaching
down to the little country potato farm
er had to be fought. Up to June l.
1917, the Norwegian government had
spent 51.000,000 kroner Cs142sOO0O) in
lowering the price of necessities. 20

rect contributions to local provisioning

provides for still larger state contri-
buttons, even if it is necessary to issue
a loan to provide the money.

PARIS. France, September II ode
layed) Corporal Charles j.

went to the front to fly with the French

letter just received of his first air bat
tie:
IT had a BATTLE two days after I ar
rived here" he writes. but the Ger.
man was yellow ! was flying at
pilot. Near Pont- -Mousson I noticed
shrapnel bursting high in the air. I
quickly notified my. partner by prear-
ranged signs. shaking my machine
from one wing to the other.
Heard Shells Bursting.
I'VE started toward the smoke balls
and soon heard shells bursting. Then
us about 1900 feet away. 1 got my
machine gun ready and dived on him.
l started to shoot at about 800 feet dis
tarce, but instead of returning my fire
the German began to dive. We fol-
lowed him. but he had the faster ma
chine and we could not reach him.
Finally. thinking we were far
enough within the German lines. we
started for home: I knew what 1T was
to be under bombardment in the
trenches but in the air 1t is different.
suddenly heard an explosion and .my
machine made rough jump. looked
aorund and saw puf1S of black smoke.
Then I knew that German gunners
were after me. The first few shots
made me nervous but after a while.
flying in zigzae fashion, did not mind
them at all. When we descended and
told my captain about it he laughed
and wished me better luck next time"
Flying "the Real Thing"
Il liked the legion. but flying is the
real thing. The pilots in my squadron
are all as brave as they make them. al
ways wishing to fight. But it Is hard
to get chance. for as soon as the
Germans see US they beat it" We for
not get a combat. so now we are only
two. Soon we will have to &C alone
to get a scrap once in while"
