ity to Reply to Peace Offer. By Associated Press.
 London, Oct. Tn the view of au- thoritative quarters in London 1t seems certain that President Wilson to whom the peace offer of the cen tral powers was addressed Will take the initiative in replying. The off, cial attitude to be adopted by the as- sociated governments can only be sur missed, but it is safe to assume that they can not entertain in any form the proposal for an armistice.

AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS.

There seems to haze been general misconception
about the casualties in our aviation training camps
That there has been lamena0iy number of ac-
cidents is undenable. We nave had weeks and when
almost every dsy three or diers were reported
killed injured The Of FORMER Mayor Mitchell Of
New York called special attention to a wastsge of
american manhood all the deplorabIe because
occurred in The period Of uteiage and seemed with
out military compensation.
All losses however are comparative 10 be judged
only fact our nyng schools a this time
have been safer han usual For the last months our
aviation has actually blished worlds record
for safety in military air-training.
There is said have been only fatality every
300 hours of flying Considering the short average
duration flight. this means that the training
stage army ayiators literally make several thou
sand fights for every life lost.
The misconception is due TO failure to take into ac
count the great number of men eneaeed The aviation
orps is larger than orr regular army before
