of the real facts as to the am
cunt of danger involved. To
overcome ignorance on the sub
ject and educational trip is to
be made through the middle
states by some distinguished
British airmen now in America.
Brig. Gen. Charles F. Lee,
commanding the British Avia-
tion Mission to this country, as
sisted by Capts. j. j. Ham
mond, James Fitz Morris, w. A.
Hannay, and G. D. Hunter, will
make an airplane tour of the
middle western states. They
expect to start from Indiana
polls on or about August Ia,
and stop at 16 of the principal
mid-western cities to give exhi-
bitions and lectures. The to-
tai air distance to be flown
cross-country is approximately
y, 500 miles.
The purpose of the tour is to
demonstrate, in a practical
manner, what fighting in the
air is. These distinguished Of
ficers Of the Royal Air Force,
all of whom have seen active
service in the present war, will
show that ''stunting" in the air
can be accomplished with ease
and safety, and will point out
in their public talks the neces-
sity for teaching advanced fly
ing to our young aviators who
are now preparing for the
front.
The itinerary probably will
include air flights by at least
three machines between Indi-
annapolis, Cincinnati, Dayton,
Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Detroit, Toledo, Chicago, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas
City and st. Louis probably in
the order mentioned. Flights
over these cities will also be
made, the fliers going through
aerial battle tactics and all the
air antics known today. The
extire tour will extend through
August, ending early in Sep
tember.
The airplanes used will be a
Bristol fighter and a De Havi-
land fighting machine, both
two-seated planes, and two
British Avro two-seated train
ing planes. It is hoped that
some of the single-seated Sop
with Camels and S. e. SIS will
be available, but it is possible
that they may not arrive in
time.

no trace of the germs is found; the

IDENTIFICATION TAGS.

1t is difficult to understand what possible reason
there can be for the failure of the war department to
provide each man enlisted in it's armed service with a
properly numbered tag or other means of identification
whereby his identity could be learned in case of death
or serious injury, and to make that provision at the very
beginning Of the mans service.
One or two days after the sinking of the Tuscania
more than forty bodies of American soldiers were
ashed ashore. each body unrecognizable, each bearing
a tag. but without a mark on any of the tags. 1t is ex.
planned that the tags had not been marked because the
men had not yet been assigned to their units.
The first thought likely to enter the mind of the
ordinary civilian in this connection is that serially num-
bered tags might have been given to the men upon their
enrolment in the army with the name of the unit to be
stamped in or otherwise inscribed later when assign
naent was made. Because this .was not done it might be
assumed that there was some good reason against It, and
the uniformed person might have let it go at that, rely
ing on the better information of the army authorities.
But the dispatches tell us that this very thing,
which seems SO simple and natural to the laymen, ana
which has not been done heretofore, is to be done, and
arrangements are being made for that purpose. The
fact is, therefore, that this simple and obvious provision
which is now to be made, has been postponed for months
after the need for it first existed, and after one group OF
our men have been buried unidentified for lack of it.
There are many delays and omissions which are
government. No human power. could have prevented
transportation difficulties, ,dearth of many kinds of raw
material, industrial disorganization and many other
things resulting in delaying our output Of completely
armed men. But there has been no unavoidable delay
in this matter of identification tags. The tags could
have been provided by the million and provided months
ago. And why the simple device of stamping serial
numbers on the tags did not occur to somebody who was
issuing blank tags is a mystery.
OF course this matter is not vital. In most cases the
Identification tag comes into use after the man is dead
although its use in the case Of men severely wounded
and unable to give an account of himself is highly i'm.
portant- The principal use Of the tag in these grave
cases is to enable the authorities to. communicate with
the friends Of the soldier. This will affect the living
soldier only slightly, perhaps, and the dead one not al
all. But it is a thing that involves in no small measure
the peace Of mind of parents and friends at home, ant
which must have some influence on the mental attitude
of the soldier, himself. This is a case in which the mer
who should have looked after this particular matter
and did not, are censurable for gross and inexcusabl.
neglect. # 4
