NEW TEST FOR AvIA1oRs.

Fort Worth, Tex, June 11.-By d
"rebreathing machine here, the first of
its kind to be established by the
United States government or any Of
its allies anywhere, aviators flying up-
will be classified according to their
ability TO thrive in high attitudes.
The machine is in a research labor

arrived in Fort Worth recently from,

sations of ascending and descending

Hencef6rth. TO pilot from any Of the
local fields will be assigned to active
duty overseas until he las passed the
tests OF the contriyance ands been clas-
sified according to his ability to with
stand altitude fatigue. Experience has
taught that many air casualties ara
due to this fatigue. One man will be
SO affected tina. he will faint Another
will go long With his flying mechani-
cally and with his mind SO dulled that
he can not plan or execute an attack
on an enemy. Still another will be-
como stupid and his nerves viii not
react to the excitement Of battle.
The pilots uill be divided into thres
classes. In the first class will be
placed airmen who are newer affected
by altitude fatigue and who can as
cend and fight anywhere their planes
will mount.
In the next class will be those whose
mental faculties are dulled by high
altitude.
And in the last. or third. will be
those who faint under the stress.

GERMANY FEARS RUIN.

Washington, June 11-Fear for the

"Of what use to US viii be our vic

oppressed by enemies. All our sacri-
flee will have been made in vain"
The paper frankly points out that
despite GerTnany's success in continu-
ing the war for four years on her own
resources, this has been done only thru
the complete and efficient devotion of
everything in the fatherland 10 the war.
This very devotion. the paper confesses,
has practically wioed out the great
commercial enterprises.
England, the paper admits. has al
ready gone far in connuering the world
