PROMOTE AMERICAN
FLYERS WITH FRENCH
Those Actively Engaged in Aerial
Fighting to Get Commissions
In United States Army.

Nearly 300 American youths are
either flying at the front in the French
aviation service, or are finishing their
training at various French flying
schools In Frnnce.
They are all volunteers and were
recruited chiefly from the ambulance
services, where they were formerly
drivers ON the French front.
They are entirely separate and dis
tinct from the hundreds Of American
youths who are In the aviation branch
Of the signal corps Of the United
States army and who are receiving
their training In various schools
taken over from the French army.
1t is expected that all OF these
Americans now officiating with the
French army will be taken over by the
American expedltionary force under
the command of General Pershing,
soon after the first Of the year.
Those who have been actively en-
gagged In aerial fighting for some time,
like the members of the Lafayette
Escadrille and score of more other
Americans attached to various French
units, will probably receive captain
cies In the United States army.
Others, who have only been at the
front for short time, will be made
first lieutenants, and 1t is expected
that all the rest--practically every
man holding brevet from the French
schools, will be made second lieu
tenant in the United States army.
This will be marked promotion,
as In the French air service the men
automatically become corporals when
pupils at the flying schools, and then
sergeants when they receive their
brevets as aHators. Their next pro.
motion to sublieutenant may come at
any time or never.
Raoul Glvas Lufbery, the American
ace, with Is German machines Off.
cially to his credit, is only sublieu-
tenant In the French service, step
above the ordinary beginners, who are
sergeants.
William Thaw Of Pittsburgh, who
was in the Foreign Legion during the
first year of the war and then entered
aviation and organized the American
Escadrille. as the Lafayette unit was
first called, has been made a first lieu.
tenant In the French army. II Is be-
lIeved that both he and Lufbery will
receive commissions as fiight-majorp
In the United States army.

HOW A SOLDIER is MADE

It has been we'll said-"How Ii q
soldier made? Whence comes the
soldier in q man? A lad taken out
of your street, dressed in soldiers un-
form, fed on the soldiers rationsl
carrying a soldiers weapon and
marching to music, is not q soldier
he is only a lad, clothed, fed, armed
and marched like q soldier. The sold
ier in the man is generated by fierce
processes; it is worried in by long
marches, it is pressed in by long
watches on the picket line, it is filter
ed in by the dews of night, it is wash
ed in by the rains Of heaven, 1t II
starved in by a half biscuit day, il
is baked in by the fever on the hos
pital cot, it is blown in by shot anG
shell, is thrust in by sabre and bay

A NOVEL WAY OF
STEALING BOOZE

Deerfeld, Kan, Feb. THE resi-
dents of this city who have "whiskey
noses" can small whiskey when it is
shipped into the city, but once it gets
here they cannot smell it. This is the
report made to federal agents, fol-
lowing the short enforced stay of a
car load of whiskey, from st. Louis
to San Francisco, which went away
q much lighter and smaller car.
During the recent cold weather, a
car was sidetracked here for a few
days. During one night some one, or
perhaps several, drilled holes in the
floor of the car, from underneath, and
into the barrels of the liquor. They
put washtubs beneath the holes to
catch the booze. Several barrels were
obtained in that way, it is said. Now,
no one knows anything about it. Fed
eral agents will investigate. Mean
time colds are not common any
longer.

The tremendous effective national
service that the schools and school
children of the country can render is

the Treasury department in its work.
In a great number of schools Liberty
Loan clubs have been organized and
many bonds also have been purchased
ty individual pupils. The Warsaw
ings campaign is endeavOring to have
a War-Savings club established in ev-
cry school in the country and organ
lied and individual effort is to be

Secretary McAdoo has said that he
would like to see every schOOlhouse in
the United States an open forum,
where patriotism and loyalty are
taught, and a center of national SER
vice in its community and among its
pupils and patrons. The school as a
medium to reach the people OF the
rural districts is of especial value.

MEN IN NEW DRAFT
VISIT CAMP FUNSTON

Camp Funston, Kan, Feb. 6-Many
men who are expecting to be called In
the next draft, are visiting the camp
to see what army life is like. They
are seeking pointers on all subjects
they can, SO that when they do come
here, they will not be entirely ignorant
of conditions in the army. Many 9TH
ers, who have friends here, are writ
ing them asking numerous questions
about the army life.
The boys here, nothing 10th, are
willing to tell the prospective mep
how and what to bring. They have
been through the mill, and are willing
to teach the other fellow.
But to the man who wants friend
to help him get soft snap: There
amt mo sich animal" At least not
in this camp. Whether q man is on
the firing line, or behind the lines, the
job is far from being soft.
While there is nothing to dread
here, there is also much to the men
who will take the bitter with the
sweet, that he will find it sweet.
One of the first things to learn is
to not to be late. To the man who is
a minute or two late, this is the hard
est lesson. He must be on time. The
cure may be long and bitter, but it
will be thorough.
