sa HiS AvIators Born9
There was a time when 1t was held
that man must be especially born
Tor aeronautic duties. Experience has
brought on the fact that the average
young man can make an excellent
aviator. Captain Guynemer, Major
Bishop. Captain William Thaw, Cap
tafn Ball Of the Lafayette escadrille
and practically all the famous avia-
tors were not men who impressed any
body with being different from other
men. orr
= OF the thousands of allied aviators
there are probably not five hundred
men who had seen more than a few
months Of military service before
Joining the mir service. Most Of them
had never seen any military service.
In planning an organization for the
selection and training of aviators, the
aircraft board and the signal corps Of
the United States have had to prepare
to deal entirely with men who had
never seen military service, as other
countries have done.-Henry Wood

BROTHER" MOREHISER is
NOT PERMITTED TO DE
LIVER SPEECH.
AGREES TO LEAVE
Disciple of the Late Pastor
Russell Believed to be Ger
man Propagandist.

A woman representing the Inter
national Bible School who recently
distributed in Columbus literature of
seditious character was stopped be-
fore she had had an opportunity ID
get very many Of the pamphlets and
newspapers which she carried before
the public. The principal publication
which the woman had in her posses
sion was "The Kingdom News" pa
per issued by the International Bible
School, of which the late Pastor Rus
sell was the founder and guiding
spirit, His paper contained an article
protesting against the suppression Of
"The Finished Mystery" which was
written by follower Of the late Pas
tor Russell and which has already
been declared by officials Of the De-
partment of Justice at Washington to
be seditious in its nature.
The activities of the woman
brought to light the fact that man
styling himself Brother" D. ]. More
hiser was to arrive in Columbus soon
for the purpose of addressing local
followers of Pastor Russell, and this
man reached the city yesterday af-
ternoon. He endeavored to engage the
local X. Of P. hall in which to deliver
his address, but officers of the lodge
declined to grant him permission to
speak there. He did, however, at
tempt to address meeting at local
hotel, but was stopped by commit
tee Of citizens, who informed him that
he would not be permitted to carry
on his campaign of sedition in this
city. He made no protest, having
not only promptly quit speaking but
having promised to return immediate
" to his home in New York.
Local followers of Pastor Russell
are not blamed for an action which
they have taken, as it is believed that
they have been misled by officials Of
the international Bible School who
are seeking to disseminate German
under the guise Of relig-
ous literature.
Postmaster Sharp is keeping his
weather eye open for propagandists
md seditionists, and has requested
,itizens to notify him when they see
my man or woman acting in q man

oyal to the government.
