VICTORIES
ONLY HALF TOLD

Il has often been asked why the
British do not publish the names of
pilots together with the number OF
Huns they have destroyed in the air.
The answer is that fighting machines
only account for a portion of the Fly
ing Service
To laud up enc class of pilots at the
expense of others does not tend to
get the close cooperation between all
branches Of the Air Service that is so
necessary for complete success.
A bombing pilot, artillery pilot. or
night flying pilot, does just as good
work as fighting pilot. Each has,
however. a different duty to perform.
The lighting pilot is trained to bring
down Huns and that is his particular
duty. He is only carrying out his
duty wben he does this.
Split EFIfty-FIfty."
In two-seater fighter machines the
honor Of bringing. down Huns is
equally divided. Observers lhave
hard training and a hard time. To
advertise the name iof'a pilot as hav-
ing brought down machines in which.
perhaps, bis observer has materially
assisted. is not quite fair.
Take again the position OF the in
fantryman, artilleryman, and cavalry
man. They have harder jobs and a
harder time, yet they are not
placarded as heroes. But the danger
they run is greater in their branches
of the service than in the flying corps,
and the quiet deeds of heroism which
they perform unObseryed and unad-
veFtised are legion.
Germany, by means OF glorifying a
few crack pilots, endeavored to popu-
la rize their air service and encourage
recruiting, but this had reverse
effect. Documents have bEn found
repeatedly in which infantrymen and
artillerymen have complained Of Ger
man so-called "air heroes" In one
letter an officer stated that, so far
as he could see. 1.-The German pilot.
although praised by everyone and
themselves in particular. did nothing
else but sit in theaters at Lille, be-
decked with medals"
This in itself shows the sort OF
feeling that may be produced.
A Hero Fallen.
Again, take the case of Baron Won
RichthoIeu. This pilot was almost
deifed and made a national hero.
both by the German flying corps and
the German pOpulace. Eventually he
met with the same fate as the rest
of them, but the blow to the morale
of the German air service was par
ticularly great after the enormous
advertisement that had been given
him.

companies.
This announcement il made in an
swer to Luther Gulick. who. after in

the front. remarked that for a few
francs the American soldier has been
able to hear the leading artists from
the Paris Opera and then asked the
question, "WHl America be fit for

Just as the people OF the nation
have been gathering together in
various community activities to aid
themselves and one another in the
practical problems incident to war
conditions, so are they now gather

expressing their spiritual natures;

the direction OF Peter Dykema. who

Now that we've come over we'll show you q thing or two Of course we that have been born and reared in Amer ica understand that attitude. War is 70 new to this great peaceful coun- try that even after these years of the struggle it is impossible for us to realize how big thing and how ter rible a thing we are up against. We are like a big overgrown boy trust ing to his large muscle and cheerful ness against prize fighter whose methods he knows absolutely nothing about, and therefore he cannot know how strenuous an adversary he has to underestimate his strength and to patronize others who seek to caution him against the fighter. The French do not understand this at all and are inclined to resent 1t. This, to my mind, is one of the unfortunate facts so far of our going over.' and I be- lieve our officials when they come to realize, will try to eradicate the spirit and put us on more of q 'comrade- ship basis towards those who have suffered so much and whom we have gone out to help"

 Not satisfied with this showing the women managers of the exhibition have issued an appeal to have women engaged in out of the way positions re- port, that their jobs may be added to the daily increasing lists.
