chine.

Lieutenant Harold Barnes, who was
recently commissioned from the Avia-
ton training school in st. Paul, will
not appear in a flying exhibition in
Grand Forks, according to a reply re-
ceived today by the office from the
executive officer of the Aviation Me-
chanics Training school, at the office
of the Liberty Loan committee.
In replying to the request Of Grand
Forks Fourth Liberty Loan county
chairman, E. j. Lander, to the effect
that Lieutenant Barnes be assigned to
give some flying exhibition in the city,
in the interests of the Liberty Loan
drive, the Office of the aviation school
regretted that due to the shortage. of
pilots in the school, they would not
be able to comply with the request.
The school is not one in which fly
ers are trained, but is engaged in
training mechanics only, and the few
pilots available are in constant de-
mand at the camp, testing the ma
chimes.
The pilots take the machines up
the first time and are accompanied
by the mechanics who are prepared
to detect engine troubles and apply
the necessary remedies.
