TEAM FLYING IS NEW SPECTACLE
 FOR CIVILIANS
U. $. Aviators at Texas
 Camps Begin Practicing Formation Flights.
U. $. Aviators at Texas Camps Begin Practicing
 "Formation' Flights.

Dallas, Texas, May 25.-The avia- tors have given Texas another spec tacle. Formation flying which now is being practiced in all the aviation camps, is SC different so impress sive and so thrilling to witness that it has overcome the ennui with which the average citizen has viewed a sky flecked with individual aviators and the epidemic of "arched neck" which was common when the avia- tors first came south to practice, again threatens.
 There is something about the ap- pearance of airplanes in formation each flyer rigidly keeping an exact distance from the others, that in.- presses one with the feeling that these men actually have control of the air. The single airplane may res pond to conditions in the air, rising and falling to take advantage of the atmospheric situation, but in for ma tion flying each must maintain his proper place, and the sight of fleet of machines, flying in triangle or square, causes the realization that conquest of the air has advanced to a point heretofore unrealized. The formation flying usually starts in the evening, at about the civilian dinner hour, when the air is general ly quiet. This adds to the worries of the housewife because when there is fleet of war planes just over the house. dipping, turning, rising and soaring in perfect unison, no normal son, daughter nor husband, Or father is going to "come in to dinner" The total nmuber of cold meals eaten in Dallas alone since this new develop ment in the process of developing American aviators, would startle statisticians, housewives say.
 Most of those who are now perfecs ing their skill in formation flying are "bombers." Avators on this duty must travel in groups, guards flying at the side, before and above the planes which carry explosives to be dropped upon the enemy. The leader usually flies much higher than the others in the party, not only for the advan tage of the additional vision his height will 0ive but also so as to be able tc dart down upon any enemy plane which undertakes to break up the party.
 The scout planes travel alone and the aviators who will adhere to this branch of the service are not so much in need of skill at formation flying Neither is the artillery control branch nor the contact patrol, hwich latte: branch must perfect itself in flying low to report the position of it's own and enemy troops during the pro gress of a battle.
 Training in all branches of the fly, ing service is highly specialized now and the concentration school at Camp Dick is filled with men who have com- pleted their ground school training and are awaiting to be assigned to a flying school as soon as there is room for them.
 The student aviators have become part of the community life in many Texas cities and are much liked.

100000 RUSS PRISONERS IN GERMANY SICK lone. Third of 3,ooo,ooo Cap
 tives in Last Stages of Tuberculosis.

Moscow, Friday, May 17.-By The Associated Press.)-One million of
 31OO,OOO Russian prisoners held ir Germany and tria-Hungary art i total invalids. In Germany there ari 100000 and in Austria 100000 l Half of the invalids are tubercular most of them in the last stage of that ] |pague.
 Many of the remainder are suffer ing from other serious contagious diseases.
 Their return to Russia under pres ent conditions is a great problem or account of the lack of food, proper accommodations and. medical assist ance.
 The exchange of invalids has beer going on for some time. A mixed commission of Germans and Russians is now arranging fo7 the exchange of able-bodied prisoners Petrograd and Moscow are to be the
 clearing centers with other places to
 be designated later.
 Plans are being made for the repat-
 ration of 5,000,000 refugees to the
 Russian provinces occupied by the
 G'rmans. Some of the refugees arc
 n Siberia, while the others are ir
 Russia. So far the Germans have
 shcwn great unwillingness to admit
 them large numbers. Several hun
 dred thousand already ara gathered
 at the frcnters, but only small par
 ttss are admitted, the Germans
 claiming that transportation facili- ties are limited.

GERMANS IN RUSSIA.

Ever since the Russian collapse
Germany has been laying the foun-
dalton for commercial conquest OF
Lithanannia and Esthonia. 1t is prob

will be difficult to wrest from her.
A large part of the German cam
paign Is in the hands OF the "Eas.

leaders of this society are the Prus-
sian and imperial ministers repre-

THAT GERMAN sUPERMAN

Savannah Morning News
or course the foolish idea that the
Germans were the most efficient the
smartest, the wisest, the best people
in the world has exploded like the toy
bubble it was. Everybody knows now
that the world was deceived by Ger
man propaganda. 1t was said so often
that the German were the most wond-
erful people on earth and everybody be
leved it; but the great war has
shown they are just humans and
quite ordinary humans at that Even
the German soldier is not so good in
every respect as the British the
French, or the American. That has
been proved German generals, who
were supposed to be the climax of
German W0nderfulnesS were taken in
to camp by a Frenchman, named Foch
Furthermore, it was the British,
building on an American idea, who
introduced the tank to modern war
fare, and the Germans did not Shc-
coed, in making a tank anywhere
nearly SO good as the British inven-
ton up to the time the war ended
And now let it be added that the
Americans, and not the Germans were
the first to direct airplane maneuvers
from the ground by using wireless

SIBERIAN BATTLE

A naval battle on Lake Baikaly ST.
IBERIA, and land battle near Masov-
ala on the eastern shore of the lake
broke the Bolshevik resistance along
the Trans.Siberian Railway at one
time virtually clearing the route of
the Czecho-Slovaks from the south
of Russia to the Pacific. In the lane
battle Colonel Oushakoff, commander
OF the Cossacks cooperating with the
Czecks and Slovaks, was killed but
the Bolsheviki and the Hungarian
war prisoners cooperating with them
we're so badly beaten they were never
able to rally beaten again.
The Czechs and their Cossacks al
lies were moving eastward along the
railway line toward Irkutsk but were
blocked at the southern end Of Lake
Baikal when the Bolsheyiki blew up
one of the railway tunnels running
drought the mountains there
While the Czechs and Slovaks
went around the southern end of the
lake, Colonel Oushakoff captured two
lake steamers, fitted them with guns
and started across the lake towing
barges filled with Cossacks Several
Bolshevik craft including two large
lake seamers attacked the expedition
but shot from one Of the Cas-
sack vessels set afire one Of the
Bolshevik craft and the others fled.
Landing at Massovaia on the east
shore of the lake, Colonel Oushakoff
attacked the enemy as they were
massing for the expected assalt upon
the Czechs and Slovaks approaching
from the south end of the lake.
The battele which ensued was
most desperate of all those attend
in the eastward progress of the
Czechs. Colone Oshakoff fell
victim to his own error in making
group of Bolshevik for his own
men, They shot him down as he
walked up to them holding out his
hand.
Six thousand was the estimate of
the number of Bolsheviki and three
thousand war prisoners killed in the
battle In addition two thousand pri-
soners were taken. many of these lat |
ter paid the penalty of the killing of |
Oushakoff In parties of four or five |
hundred they were moved down by |
machine gun fire
When, however, General Gaida, the |
Czcho-Slovak commander, learned of
this accurrance he issued orders |
against any further executions with
out trial by court martial, is the re-
suit Of this battle the Czecho-Slovaks
captured forty trains of provisions
and ammunition. The way through to
Chita was opened by the flight Of the
Bolsheviki and General Gaida and his
officers moved eastward thereafter
without serious opposition.

Telephones. The Germans demanded
that their airmen go out and bring
down an American plane equipped
with a wireless telephone so that the
Germans could find out how the trick
was worked. John D. Ryan, director
Of aircraft production says that stand
ing on the ground he has directed
with his his voice a squadron flying
in the air.
The world has rubbed its eyes
many times recently while it was gaz-
ing at the Germans, who admitted
they were the wonders of the world
and has itself wonders why on earth
is ever let itself think these people
were what they said they were. Why
the great German army did not &C.
complish Relatively as much in the
period Of fighting in the great war as
the army of the Confederate States
did in its four years Of fighting. Ger
many was prepared: her foes in large
measure were not. There was no such
disparity between the Central Powers
and their enemies in actual fighting
power at any time except within the
last six months of the war, as existed
between the North and the South at
all times. The Southern soldier was
better fighter than the German sol
der ever was. and the South put up
a far better fight, relatively speaking
than did the German empire and its
friends
The German is, and was no super
man. He is just an ordinary man, and
he was just an ordinary man. He has
been nicely licked, and he likely will
come to the same conclusion the rest
of the world already has reached
