small number of rivctcrs are needed

are almost no expert laborers OF other

Concrete ships, built in quantity,
will construct enormously to the trans

quickly fabricated, they will help

AMERICAN FIGHTERS
Some Of Them are Slow to Obey Re-

Don't get the idea that it's an easy
job over there. Well win eventually
but not with one hand tied behind the

This view was expressed yesterday
by Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent
for three years. Gibbons arrived here
yesterday. accompanied by Martin
Green, war correspondent to the Ev-
ening World. Gibbons lost his left eye
ut the Belleau Wood trying to save
Major John Berry Of the marines who
had been wounded. He was not aware
until yesterday the Croix de Guerre
had been awarded him since leaving
France.
He bore with him letter from Gen
Foch praising his brilliant conduc
in the Bois de Belleau" and adding the
American army has proved itself tc
he magnificent in spirit, in its rea
worth and in vigor; it has contributed
largely to our successes"
Gibbons said the fiction extaRt1g be-
tween the New York 69th and the Ala
bama regiment at Camp Mills, Mineo'
Ia, has increased in France, with th'
result that these units, brigaded to
gether in the 42d (Rainbow) Division
would rather fight each other thar

though the French generals purpose
was to withdraw them to u main lint
to be established four kilometres to th'

Gibbons continued: THE French ant

REMARKABLE AIRPLANE FEAT
Runs Wild for Eight Minutes While
Aviators Sit Calmly Smilina.

An airplanc running wild in mid
air and cutting all the daring capcrs
that such Il machine is capable OF per-
forming, while two skilled French
aviutors sat calmly in their seats each
believing the other was directing the
flight, recently amazed American avia-
ton officers and cadets who watched
its startling gyrations, according to
u dispatch sent out from Fort WORTH
Texas, u few days ago.
The two French aviators who so
narrowly escaped death were lie
Maitrc and Soulicr who have brought
down several German airplanes in the
fighting on the western front in
France.
L. Maitre was in the back seat and
took the plane from the ground. The
machine had climbed n few hundred
feet when Soulier raised his hands 10
his head, the usual signal Of Il pilot
that he will take control OF the plane.
SO l.r Maitrc sat at case.
Then for eight minutes the airplane
gave Il performance the like of which
never before had been seen by the
spectators. 1t comprised the whole
known category of stunts and added
new ones, with amazing suddenncss.
Those below gaspcd in wondcrment
when the machine suddenly dived
within a few feet of the ground. ii
seemed impossible that any one would
handl. the machine with such dcX-
terity and reckless abandon.
The spectators. however. saw Lc
Maitrc and Soulirr smiling calmly.
suddenly the plane crashed down.
ward and buried its nose in the
earth. The aviators stepped calmly
from under the demolished plane and
faced each other.
What do you think you are doing.
anyway; trying to scare me, eh?" said
Lc Maitre.
What was trying to do?" echoed
Soulicr. What were you trying to
do to me?"
Then ii developed that during the
eight minutes they had been in the air
neither aviator had touched the con-
trolls. Soulier had been merely ad-
justing his helmet when lie Maitre
saw the movement and mistook II for
signal that Soulier intended to take
control of the airplane. While the
machine was running wild, each avia-
tor thought the other was trying to
have a little fun at his expense.

About 100000 unnaturalized male
Germans live in the United States, and
have registered with police and post
masters under enemy alien regula-
tions, the department Of justice re-
ported Monday. The registration for
males was held In January. and few
additional Germans are being record

registration of German women more
than two months ago have not yet
been fully tabulated. but 1t is believ-
ed fewer than 100000 enrolled.
Naval authorities in Washington
are Of the opinion that there will be
a concerted drive of German U-boats
against American transports and car
go ships in the not distant future.
However, the naval experts are not

The first United States soldier to be

bravery and sacrifice of medical officers
at the front had probably been too lit
