His ArmIess Joke.

That all misfortune is only relative
is Indicated by the philosophy of the
armless man who, for many years, has
been carrying copy" from a down
town news agency to the uptown news
papers at night. An editor on his way
to his midnight luncheon had washed
his hands when he discovered that the
towel was missing. AS the armless
copy" carrier passed he heard the ed
itor say something more forceful than
elegant. "You ought to be like me,
and then you wouldn't need any
towel" said the armless one, laughing
contentedly.-New York Times.

"Well," said the actor, in a consol-

London, March 18.-The Germans

to Odessa, according to a Reuter- dis

and Nikolayev were taken without

to Sebastopol. The Germans immedi-

cities and seized the naval yards at
Nikolayev. The German advance con-

the acceptance of the treaty, which
was characterized by the minister of
justice as being "anti-revolutionary
and anti-Socialistic."
He stated that the Social Revolu-

Plans Training for
Youths of the Nation
National Security League Would
Develop Country's Future
Defenders

A national physical training move.
ment was started yesterday by the Ma
tional Security League The fact that
20 per cent of the youth of the coun,
try, summoned by the draft, are being
rejected on physical grounds, led to
the action of the league.
Walter Camp, veteran trainer OF
athletes, will be in charge Of the entire
campaign. The plan, as worked out by
the league, is much the same as was
followed in organizing the Home De-
Tense League. The mayors of every
city in the country of 5000 or more
population have been asked to appoint
81 committee to cooperate with Mr..
Camp.
In announcing it's latest activity the
league said it hoped by the coming
summer to establish physical training
clubs in every city, town and hamlet
in the nation.
In discussing the physical training
movement S. Stanwood Menkcn. presi-
dent of the National Security League,
declared that the nation could not af-
ford, without serious economic disas-
ter, to lose the services of nearly one
third of the men who are drafted for
military duty.
"There Is more than the military as
pect of the matter to be conside !"
said Mr.. Menken. "The difficulty of
supplying a full quota of labor for in
dustries makes it imperative that the
man-power of the nation be brought
to maximum measure of physical

So-Called Dangerous
Tricks Are Foolhardy
Necessary for Pilots
Airmen Who Go to Front
Unknowing Will Meet
Death, He Says

WASHINGTON, Feb. Hair-rais-
ing stunts by student aviators may
seem foolhardly to the casual observer,
but they are vital part of the army
flicrs' training, Lieutenant Colonel
Charles E. Lee, Of the British Royal
Flying Corps, declared here to-day.
"To forbid student avators to at
tempt these stunts may save few
fatalities at training camps on this
side,' said Colonel Lee, "but will GER
tainly be the cause of hundreds of
them at the 'front.'"
For the last three days Colonel Lee,
head of the British aviation mission in
the United States, has been doing war
tricks in the air over the national cap
ltal to show officials and others what
the American air fighter must prepare
to do when he flies over the German
lines.
Stunts Called Essential

to turn their faces and gasp. This
demonstration Of what fighting man
must do in the air, coming at time
when several student aviators have
been killed at American camps raised
Ii question as to whether they were
really necessary or were only stunts.
Most cmphatcally, said Colonel Lee
ho

manmuvre his adversary, slip out of
tight places and become an efficient
fighting flyer. Moreover, said Colonel
Lee, they are not dangerous, provided
the pilot has been trained and knows
his machine. The ability to perform
them is indispensable, the colonel de-
clared, if the aviator is to be an ef-
fective fighting factor
"If the pilot is to be given a fair
chance of doing we'll on the Western
front, it is we'll he should be taught
acrobatics in the air." said Colonel Lee.
"Ihe so-called danger in flying lies not
with those who do stunts in the air,
but with those who cannot do them.
All cvolutions have to be shown the
pupil by stages, and there should
never be a position in which the air.
plane can be placed from which pilot
cannot with ease rectify it, knowing
exactly what he is doing. Unless 81
pilot can turn his machine any way
and every way at any time in order to
mannuvrc for position all the straight
flying in the world will not help him
when he has to fight.
Unfinished Course Suicide
"Formation flying is one Of the
most important things of modern day
flying, but it must be borne in mind
that as soon as formation of approx

hiers which will win.
at is not question of showing off
the aerial stunts, Or Of pretending to
anything which some one else can
not do. 1t is only meant to show that
an acroplane can be made to mannuvre
quickly in the air, with great ease and
with safety. No pilot should be sent
overseas who cannot do all these things
and more. If he cannot do them he will
be shot down sooner or later

be discouraged. largely because of the
necessity of mobilizing available pas

Secretary Baker recently expressed
the wish that National Army units
might participate wherever possible in
Washington's Birthday parades to

transportation difficulties, this will be
attempted mainly in cities within easy
