BARRED WIRE DISEASE
 GETS GOATS OF TURKS

LONDON-"Barbed-wire disease" is British army slang for nervous breakdown. Turkish officials who heard the expression translate it literally. Wherefore the Turkish government in ratifying an agree ment with the British for and ex- change of prisoners, stipulated that plain wire should be substituted for barbed wire around prison camps for Turks in English territory.
 The Turks, it is aid, consented to the exchange because there was one important prisoner they wanted to get back. The swap was negoti- ated on the basis of 1000 English prisoners for 1900 Turks.

BRITISHER GIVES ACCOUNT
 OF STRUGGLE OVER THERE

LONDON-In a letter received re- gently, a lieutenant in a London regiment says, according to the Daily News:
 "To give you some idea of our last seven days, we were gassed and shelled and attacked every night and morning. Although we suffered casualties, I am proud to say we never gave an inch, and the casual ties we inflicted on the enemy were enormous. In parts of our front they lie eight and nine deep of wounded and dead. I've seen more fighting during the last month than during the rest of my previous fif- teen months actual experience in the line put together. One day we fin ished up with our fists, and, as you may guess, in that art we had Fritz beaten to a frazzle. We are now enjoying few days rest.

PUBLIC LAND SURVEYS
 ARE EXTENDED RAPIDLY

The public land survey parties' under the supervision of Woodbury Abbey, assisted by U. s. Transitman E. C. Guerin, have now finished up all the work on both sides of the Tanana river east of town as far as Wood river, the survey parties hav- ing their headquarters and operating out of the camp at the old telegraph station about seventeen miles up river from Nenana.
 Early next week the camp will be moved to "Eat-em-up" Frank Lemberg's roadhouse and endeavors will be put forth to extend the sur vey to meet the previously com pleted lines at Cinema.
 If this work is completed as ex- pected, the public land surveys will extend uninterruptedly all the way along both sides of the Panama river up to Nenana and on to the coal fields at Lignite, and will be of great help to the settlers in filing on their claims.

YANKEE FLYERS THRILL TEXANS
 WITH STUNTS

DALLAS. - The aviators have given Texas another spectacle. For mation flying, which is now being practiced in all the aviation camps, is so different, so impressive and so thrilling to witness that it has overcome the ennui with which the average citizen has viewed a sky flecked with individual aviators, and the epidemic of "arched neck. that was common when the aviato first came South to practice, again threat ems to become contagious.
 There is something about the ap- pearance of airplanes in formation, each flyer rigidly keeping an exact distance from the others, that im- pressed one with the feeling that these men actually have control of the air. The single airplane may respond to conditions in the air, rising and falling to take advantage of the atmospheric conditions, but in formation flying each must main tain his proper place, and the sight of a fleet of machines, flying in a triangle or in a square, causes the realization that conquest of the air had advanced to a point heretofore unrealized.
 The formation flying usually starts in the evening, at about the civilian dinner hour, when the air is gener- ally quiet. This adds to the worries of the housewife because when there is a fleet of war planes just over the house, dipping, turning, rising and soaring in perfect unison, no normal son, daughter nor husband or father is going to "come to din- ner." The total number of cold meals eaten in Dallas alone since this new development in the process of developing American aviators, would startle statisticians, house. wives say.
 Most of those who are now per fecting their skill in formation fly ing are "bombers" Aviators on this duty must travel in groups, guards flying at the side, before behind and above the planes which carry explosives to be dropped upon the enemy. The leader usually flies much higher than the others in the party, not only for the advantage of the additional vision his height will give, but also so as to dart down upon an enemy plane which undertakes to break up the party
 The scout planes travel alone and the aviators who will adhere to this branch of the service are not so much in need of skill at formation flying. Neither is the artillery con- trol branch nor the contact patroI which latter branch must perfect t. self in flying low to report the posi- tion of it's own and enemy troop: during the progress of battle
