tories were won before the German
adversary had q chance to fire a shot,
incidentally he is said to know more
about German aviation than any other
man among the allies.
Brocard taught him to fly anything
and everything, including the first ar
tillery observation machine with two
motors. Fonck himself says he liked
every machine he ever tried except the

old. He spoiled the buffet, he says
and the results were painfully unsatis

Finally, he is modest; he keeps say.
Ing he is lazy, and very likely he really
means 1t, because he keeps comparing
himself to Guynemer. Guynemer was
always in the air: he was untiring, al
work hour after hour. FOnck by com
parison flies seldom. He never goes uI
unless he feels just like 1t. He cannot
conquer this reluctance to systematic

show that, after all, he is human anc

Allied Casualties Decreasing.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, Aug. THE hur-
ried retreat of the Germans has served
to relieve conditions in the hospitals
since there has been a marked falling
off in the number of wounded. Dress
ing stations have been able to send
to the bases all the cases on hand
and move forward to be i'm a position
to care for new ones when brought
in. AS a matter of fact, most of those
nov asking aid are men who have
dropped out because of exhaustion.

DEAF MUTES MAKE
IDEAL AIR FIGHTERS
Successful Experiments at Min
cola May Result in Their Be-
ing Allowed to Enlist.

Army officers of the Mineola avia-
ton field believe that the ideal air
fighter has been found-the deaf mute.
As a result of tests made with recent
graduates from the New York Insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb 1t Is be-
lieved that the war department will
soon authorize their enrolment in the
flying service and that a new field of
war endeavor will be opened to thou
sands of young men all over the
try.
Curiously enough 1t has been dis
covered that deafness eliminates one
of the most dangerous factors in the
training of military a~yiators. The man
who was born normal but who has
lost his hearing has no sense of mo-
tion, so 1t Is explained by Maj. William
III. Van Tassell, assistant principal of
the institution. AS a result he loses
the fear and the feeling of dizziness
which a great altitude often causes In
the normal a
"A number of our graduates have
been tried out in airplanes at MineoIa
for several Sundays past" said Major
Van Tassell, ''and the tests have been
so successful that 1t is quite likely they
viii be allowed to enlist. 1t will de-
pend upon how further experimental
ton, which is now In progress, turns
out.
"The deaf have no of motion.
IL they lose the sense of hearing, after
once having possessed 1t, they cannot
tell, for instance, whether they are
swinging in a hammock or whether ii
Is stationary. They never become sea-
sick or dizzy in high attitudes and lose
all sense of dread, such as is expe-
rienced by normal persons. The ex-
plosions of airplane engines are entire
ly unheard by the mutes, although in
all other respects they are exactly as
keen as anyone"

ORDERS NEWSPAPERS CUT
Restrictions as to Size Made by War
Board.

Washington. Aug. Negotiations
for the reduction of the size of news
papers have been announced by the
pulp and paper section of the war in
dustries board.
1t Is ruled that no newspapers shall
be established during the period Of
the war and wasteful practices of cir
culation shall be cut to a minimum.
The discontinuance Of the return OF
unsold copies is made a mandatory
policy.
Rigid rules are made for the reduc-
tion OF the space to be used by news
papers on both week days and Sun.

by means OF the supplies of fuel al
lotted to paper mills, and this indus
try will be kept on the preferential
list by the priorities board only while
they obey instructions.

Rene Fonck, the young ace OF aces
who recently won his forty-ninth OFF,
cially recorded victory. may best be de.
scribed as the man with perfect nerve.
but no trace of nerves. Those who
have had the opportunity to study him
closely believe this superb poise is the
secret of his success.
To show how free he is from foibles:
Most famous aviators become at
tached to a favorite machine. When
they have won a few victories in II
they regard II with affection, even
with superstition; it is lucky.
BY contrast, Fonck has a habit of
giving his machine to any youngster
who has just won his pilots commits
sion and who has caught the great
aces fancy.
'Try this one, lad" he will say. at
seems to be all right" and thus passes
title to q plane in which he has downed
two or three Germans.
Then he takes the next machine sent
to the camp from the factory.
Built Like a Boxer.
Fonck is of medium height and
weight and has the walk and carriage
OF a skillful boxer. Men of scientific
bent say his refiexes are perfect
incredibly swift and accurate. Besides
this he has extraordinary vision. 1t
has happened more than once when he
has led a squadron that he has sig
nailed to the other pilots the approach
OF q German plane. its exact location,
the angle from which 1t should be at
tackled and its speed. all this before
any Of the others had seen 1t at all.
1t need hardly be added that he is a
remarkably accurate shot, another
proof of his superb vision and perfect
nerve control.
Like all the great fiiers, he is a fa-
matte on the subject. When he talks
1t is of nothing but motors. new mod
els of planes, aerial tactics and ma
chine guns. But more often he sits
! through dinner with his friends with
out uttering a syllable.
Speaking of tactics. he has none, or
at least M set method. He improvises
as he goes along. Like the other pu-
pills of that great instructor of fiers,
Commandant Brocard, he is full of In
genious surprises. Incidentally, Bro
card believed in him from the first. A
year ago Georges Prade, a journalist
of note, was talking to the master, ex-
pressing his fears for the future of
the combat squadrons with Dorme, Ma
varre, Rochefort, Lenoir gone, and
Guynemer and Nungesser fighting on
by sheer will power and determination
despite wounds which would have
crippled the ordinary man. Brocard
replied simply:
Had Z Card Up His Sleeve.
