London Papers Print Reports of
Seizure Of Land and Other
Law1essness.

LONDON. February 2s.-The news
papers continue to print reports of
seizures of land and other acts Of
lawlessness by Sim Feiners in Ire
land. The police are said to be unable
to prevent these acts. Among the mi
nor incidents is a report that Sim
Feiners seized American flags which
two boys were carrying in street in
Galway and tore and burned them.
Henry Duke, secretary for Ireland
has not resigned. and 1t is understood
that he intends to stand by the Irish
convention until the end. He is credit
ed with the opinion that much of the
present lawlessness is due to an Or
ganized conspiracy against the conven-
tion. It is reported that many wealthy
families residing in the west of Ire
land have gone to Dublin to escape the
disorders.
County Clare has been declared a spe-
cial area under the defense of the

MORE SPACE FOR FLYING.
Aviation Camps Enlarged to Lessen
Chance Of Accidents in Air.

Immediate steps to reduce the num-
ber of collisions by student aviators,
by spreading out the training areas.
are about to be taken by the War De-
partment.
1t is planned to lay out flying fields
in various directions from the training
camps, to which the student aviators
would fly each dayin a previously ar
ranged schedule. 1t is believed that
will eliminate the crowding in the air
which has resulted in many tight
places" in which young avjators have
not been able to maneuver safely.
All things taken into consideration,
however, War Department officials feel
that the number of accidents has not
been unduly large. The number of ac-
cidents has made no difference in the
personnel of the Aviation Corps Not
only their morale continues unifnpair-
ed. but this country, officials say re-
mains the only country in the world
which has surplus of ayiators.
