FLYING BECOMES
MORE SAFE IN
TRAlllNCCAlNlPS
No More Casualties in This
Than Any Other Branch
h NJ. of Service. :

An American Aerodrome in Eng
land, Aug. 30.-(Corresponden of
the Associated Press. )-Flying in the
air is becoming rapidly more safe.
veteran instructors at the British
American aerodromes in England tell
their pupils. The proportion Of
casualties during training in the air
force are now no higher, they say,
than in any other branch of combat
ant service.
During three years flying expert
ence have seen upwards of fifty
crashes, but have not yet seen any
man receive more than skin-deep i'm
juries as the result Of these crashes"
declared Lieutenant L. Walnsley Of
the royal air force, in a talk with
American airmen recently.
unusually fortunate, but statistics
show that the proportion Of fatalities
to crashes is extraordinarily small.
Some Of the first airplane acci-
dents wers due to the collapse of the
machine in mid-air, and because the
pilot In those days was merely strap
ped to a board or strut, without any
covering whatever, the results were
mostly fatal. The Introduction of the
fuselaee or body made strongly Of
steel and wood, in which the pilots

made it possible for an airplane to fall
from great heights without the occu-
pants being killed. Because Of the
central position Of the fuselage, this
ia always the last part to feel the ef-
fects Of a crash, the main force of
which Is broken by the undercarriage
and planes, which act as buffers.
1.-TWO days after Joined the royal
air force I saw q machine come down
to- - S~{A T. =
squarely on the roof Of one Of the
hangers. The pilot climbed out and,
lighting a cigarette. calmly asked If
the other machine was ready.
During the next few weeks saw
no fewer than five crashes, and not in
a single case was either pilot or OBJ
server hurt.
"since then, in nearly three years
Of flying, I must have seen perhaps
fifty crashes. I have seen airplanes
crash into hangers, stone walls, houses,
lamp posts. trenches, motor-lofries
and bridges. Personally have
crashed intoia barn, on a tennis court,
in a flooded field and into tropical

have not yet seen . man receive any
thing worse than a skinned nose as
the result Of a crash, and the only
wound ever got myself was made by
a. thorn from prickly pear bush.
IAN airman can usually tell when a
crash is inevitable and like lightning
he must make up his mind how he
can use his undercarriage and planes
If necessary to best advantage, first OF
all to save the life Of his observer and
his own. and If possible to save the
engine, the most valuable part of the
machine.
.'He may have to pancake into q
patch Of bush, or he may have to fly
deliberately between two trees and
strip his wings: but 50 long as he
keeps his head the chances Of making
a successful crash are greatly in his

Metz Under Fire,

Sept. 2O.-Metz is under fire of
American cannon. An Official
communication relative to the
bombardment is published in the
newspapers Of that city according
to q Berlin dispatch. 1t follows:
sThe enemy for several days
has been bombarding Metz with
q long range gun. Such bonn
bar1ment has always been poed-
BILE throughout the war and has
long been expected. Modern
guns have a longer range than,
for example, from south of
Pont-a-Mousson to Metz. The
present bombardmenA therefore,
Is in no wise connected with the
fact that the enemy after our
evacuation of St. Mihiel salient
drew nearer to the town. 1t is

of the present battles west and
southwest of Metz and will cease

standstin. Regulations regarding
entry and departure from the

Ground Covered With Dead.

British Headquarters Thursday,
Sept. 19.-(Evening)-(R via
Montreal)-The ground over which
the Germans counter attacked the
British at Moeuvres and Trescault is
covered with dead and the enemy
casualties are estimated to have been
forty per cent Of the troops engaged.
The Germans attacked in dense waves
but the assaulting ranks were moved
down. by the British defenders. Par
ticularly strong were the German ef-
forts against the British positions east
of High and Havrincourt woods. Here
the enemy reached the British posi-
tion at several places but few Ger
mans were able to get out alive.
Prisoners taken by the British say
the Allied attack was expected north
Of Gouzeaucourt. When the British
struck on q 15-mile line south of that
town the Germans changed their
plans and assumed the offensive
north Of Gouzeaucourt with disas-
trous results.
In an order to his troops concern
ing raiding activity, General Won
Buelow, commanding the 18th army
says:
This shows that at the present
time the British have q fighting SUI
periority over our troops in No Mans
