BRITISH CAMPS

u. S. AVLAT0RS
When they Leave for Front
They Know all that Can be

An American Aerodrome in Eng
land. July 24.-This is one of the
numerous aviation camps in England
where Americans are receiving their
finishing touches as flyers. When
they leave here for the battle front
in France. they know all that can be
taught about flying. Only the school
of experience can supply the post
graduate course that makes Guyne-
mers and Lufburys. ~
The aerodrome is set in one of
those beautiful spots that one calls
to mind from classic pictures IF Eng
lish landscapes. 1t is early in June
and the great level field that stretches
away in front of the hangers is like
a rich, green carpet. Beyond there is
a woodland, and in the distance is a

tour recalls to. western Americans the
foothills OF California. NS

structor sitting beside him has made

how to stall, to glide and to climb,

INSURANCE.
AGAINST BOMBS
Property in Paris May, be
Insured Against Damage
by 5000 Shells.

Paris, June 25.-(Corresponden
of the Associated Press. 1.-THE Ger
man advance has brought into Paris
"anti bombardment insurance" The
one company allowed to do such
business will insure any given prop
erty only against damage from 5000
shells. If the Germans were to reach
point where their huge 350-centi-
meter guns could effectively batter
Paris. and We're to pour 5000 in
without damaging any given piece OF
property, its owner would have to ire-
insure against the next five Thousand
shells. ss'
The price Of the anti ibombardment
insurance has gone up to twice what
It means just six francs per thousand
of insurance il it is furniture and
other household goods that iSf being
insured; eight francs per thousand If
buildings; and twelve francs If any
thing else. :,
The insurance company also has
drawn up a scale of insurance against
personal injury from long range and
other kinds of guns and airplane
raids. Thereby it is possible to insure
civilians up to $4,000 francs at four
francs per thousand in the districts
nearest the present front; at 2h a
thousand in Paris and its immediate
vicinity; at one. franc in remoter de-
partments, and at rs centimes in the
most distant departments and in AL
eEeria.
The company, whose parent or
ganization in England has achieved a
reputation in years past for taking
any kind of sporting risk in the
insurance line, will not insure, life for
over $4,000 francs unless special
premiums are paid.

cation reduced by operations on their

Marine being constantly punished, the
Germans have been forced to give UP
more territory. The French and
American troops rested tonight some
distance in advance of the points
where they started this morning.
The German retirement under pres

More Hun Reserves.
Paris, July 25.-More reserves are
being thrown into the battle by the
Germans, according to the latest ad-
vices reaching Paris, but these were
unable to prevent the Allies from
making appreciable gains Wednesday.
The important point of Oulchy-Le-
Chateau slowly but surely Is being
surrounded. If the Germans lose it,
it will be impossible for them to hang
on to F'ere- e-En-Tardenois.
Military observers here are con-
vinced that General Ludendorr short
ly will launch counter offensive His
objects will be. first, to clear the front
between scissors and Rheims; second.
to lessen the demoralizing effect Of
projected retreat to the Vesle, and,
third, to have Germany regain the In
itiative * sf
Consequently it is to his interest to
prolong the present battle as long Is
possible even at the expense OF his
treasured reserves SO as to keep the
French occupied and give him time
to prepare another blow.

This is shown by the way the Ameri-

OTHER SUGGESTIONS.

We are not asking for trench

knitted articles except sweat
Iers, helmets, wristlets and

We accept, but do not ask
for mufaers, the helmet with
flaps having taken their place.
The seams in the two-piece
helmets should be made as dat
as possible, as the cap or steel
fits snugly over the
one. A large seam OF
is very uncomfortable.
We suggest making wrist
lets with two thumb holes,
each one beginning two inches
from the end. This doubles
the wear.
