1t Is not. Sir Leonard hopes, suggest.
ed that women should be employed in
the suppression of public order and
the arrest of dangerous or violent
criminals.
With regard to the deslrability of in
trusting to them that part of the in
vestigation Of sexual crime which in.
wolves intimate conversation with the
victim, the inspector declares that the
police themselves were the first to rec.
ognize this, but until some year; years ago
failed to find a woman Of education
who recognized this as woman's work.
Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine
work being done by the women police
employed by the ministry Of num-
tons, and refers also to the success
Of the efforts Of the women patrols.
He denies that the increase of Of
lenses by Juveniles and the decrease
Of personal chastity of girls are the
consequence Of the war or that they
have been aggravated by the war.
For years past police reports have
laid stress on the decay of parental
control and the influence Of parents
with a true sense of their responsible
ties does not seem likely to revive.

cealment Of birth and infanticide, the

Lieutenant Arthur Rhys Davlds Said
70 Be Ono Of the Three Elect
Among eraNest Of British
Airmen.

London.-When VOss. the intrepid
German airman. was brought down
there was considerable demand that
the name of the British airman who
accomplished the feat should be re-
vealed. He was Lieut.. Arthur Rhys
Davids. an Elton boy Of twenty. In
the Official Gazette 1t is stated that
among his other feats he brought
down nine enemy aircraft In nine
weeks.
But after much anxiety the boys
father, Prof. Rhys Davids, and his
mother, both Oriental scholars Of dis
tfnctt0n, no longer have any doubt
that their son. missing since last De-
cember, is dead.
In their home on Chipstead Downs
the parents and sisters mourn the
brave and daring boy, said to be one
Of three very elect among the bravest
Of British airmen.
Arthur Rhys Davids. after doing
brilliantly at Summerfield. where.
kings scholar. he won a BalliOl exit
biti00 and the Newcastle scholarship.
took his commission In the Royal Fly
ing corps In the autumn Of 1916 leav-
ing his civil service ambitions until
after the war.
Brought Down Twenty-Five Germans.
Young Davids had been good Mt
sports and he took to flying as though
born to 1t. He won the NJ. c. with the
bar and the d. s. o. after five months
in France in April, 1917. He brought
down go Germans for certain-he
actually saw that number crash-but
he drove down many more out of con-
troll. Among the 90 were the German
superfycrs Voss and Schafer.
The story of the defeat of voss,
who had been credited with being the
greatest airman of all the armies, is
thrilling. When Rhys Davids went up
with squadron of six and four Ger
mans were sighted, it was not so easy
as 1t seemed, for Voss was among
them, and he took on three of the
British machines. Two Of these he
put out Of action, causing them to re-
turn home with their engines full of
lead. The third was the boy from
Elton.
Voss and Rhys made duel Of 1t.
The Hun was in triplane. and there
was most tremendous fight. The
story Of 1t was afterward told to the
family by an officer acquainted with
the facts.
II want to give voss all credit"
says Miss Rhys Davlds, sister Of tho
brave young airman. in repeating the
story. "He had q fearful fight with
the three for twenty minutes, and
then my brother and voss wheeled
rolnd and -round:>ard then, suddenly.

Germany's Favorite Device
Against British Air Raids.
Sends Up sarrass Of Fire Balls Which

Behind British Lines In France.
One OF Germany's favorite devices for
opposing British airmen on night raids
or "Reminiscences. is q barrage Of the
so-called "chain rockets" These COLI
sist OF long chains of brilliantly lumin-
Gus balls. bright green in color. which
are sent upward like skyrockets 10
strings OF 20 or 10, and which hang
suspended in the sky for considera-
Ole time. apparently Tor theDurpose Of
catching the atrplane and setting fire
to It.
The rockets must be driven up with
tremendous force, probably from a
gun. FOR they rise to a height Of TO-.
oOO feet. and can be placed with great
accuracy. The fireballs appear to be
about foot In diameter. AS they rise
they are often caught by the wind; and
assume beautiful curves. Sometimes
the whole line topples and turns BE-
fore 1t vanishes. floating for a few
moments like row of strange green
japanese lanterns. 1t is supposed that
the balls are supported In the air by
small parachutes.
Thousands Of these chain rockets
are fired by the Germans on every oc-
casion when the entente airmen attack
a town or camp. They are part Of the
regular shrapnel barrage which is used
to hamper the attackers. but they
give much more spectacular effect
than the bursting shrapnel, which only
gives momentary flash in the, sky
and then is gone. ,.~-,..-..
II a machine is caught by a search
light. hundreds of the chain rockets
are straishtway sent up toward 1t.
They make a remarkable spectacle, as
they are seen climbing up the sky and
passing, one by one. across the beams
OF light and finally appearing in their
appointed station in the upper dark
ness.

Shares In Big Events.
Miss Brooks has had a share In
many of the most interesting incidents
Of the war. It was to her desk that
the news came of the sinking of the
Aztec and the Vacuum. She received
the account Of the sinking of the first
German submarine by the Silver
Shell; Of the long battle of the MOreni,
which fought an enemy U-boat until
almost the entire ship was in flames {:
Of the four-hour fight Of the j. L.
Luckenbach which. though hit many
times. refused to surrender. She made
out the lists Of the first men taken
prisoner by Germany, members Of the
armed guard Of the Inflated Campana.
She has transcribed many letters Of
commentator of men for heroic
deeds. and many messages transmit
ting to relatives the sad news that q
con. husband or brother has been
killed or wounded.
The names. ratings and addresses Of
next Of kin Of all the members Of the
armed guards are kept on cards. In Q
separate envelope for each vessel.
The records Of all those who lose
their lives in the service Of their coun-
try are kept In special division.
These constitute the navy's troll Of
honor" Those who have been COM
mended for heroic deeds also have q
special place-and there are hundreds
Of them already. though we have been
at war less than year. The depart
ment seeks to secure and keep on file
photographs Of all the men of the
navy killed in service against the en-
envy, and those specially commended.
Miss Brooks has had hand in build
ing up these measures to perpetuate
the memory Of the navy's heroes and
preserve interesting and authentic ma
terfal for history.

she superintends the work of two yeO-

all three of them men. Like all the
other women yeomen, she is regularly
enlisted in the navy-enlisted for the
term Of the war. At first they were
commonly termed 'yeowomen" and
"ye0manettes," but these nicknames
are frowned upon by naval officials,
whose attitude has been well ex.
pressed by Rear Admiral MCGOWAN,
paymaster general Of the navy: "They
must not be called 'yeowomen' or
'yeomanettes.' These women are 40
