Sir Frederick E. Smith, the Attor-
ney General of England, who made a
visit to the University last winter,
while on a lightning tour of America,
has of course written book. In it
he chats about everything from Elsie
Janis and Maxine Elliott and auction
bridge to speeches, interviews and dis
cussions of the problems of the Allies.

EVERY ALLIED AIRPLANE
TO CARRY BOMBS SOON

! barely missing treetops and houses
Observers back from the front where
the allied planes did such remarkable
work not only in scouting and dis
tracing the enemy but actually in
breaking up formations and at points
checking the onward movement have
urged concentration on that form OF
training.
Yankees "TOO Keen.,
British trainers, detailed TO Ameri-
can aviation camps, have been liberal
in their praise of the new fliers from
overseas, their only criticism being
that the Americans are "a bit too
keen" Their tendency has been to go
in for flying stunts rather too early
in training.
II has been pointed out to the Amer
leans that team work as we'll as indi-
vidual efficiency is a prime requisite
and the Americans have steadied
themselves to the routine which their
trainers have found makes for general
advancement if not for individual ap-
plause.
Fancy flying, the acrobatic work that
once found favor and drew heavy gate
receipts at aerial exhibitions in the
United States, still is taught, but the
learning of that form of flying also has
come to be regarded merely as routine
and wholly incident to the steady, low
flying desirable for attacking camps
and troops in formation.
Accidents Are Fewer.
Accidents have occurred in the
camps where the Americans are being
trained and a few men have been
killed, but the records show that the
percentage is far less in England than
in the United States.
Those in training here are inclined
to attribute the difference more to luck
than TO anything else, although there
also is pointed out the probability that
the average airplane used in England
is a better machine than the average
that has been used in the United
States.
The bombing device being attached
to virtually every plane is not the con-
trivance that was used in the earlier
days of the war. That used then was
little more than a mechanism that re-
leased the projectile, allowing it to fall
at point approximately near the tar
get.
The device now being used is one
with which the operator may with
practice become almost as proficient in
craftsmanship as an artilleryman is
with his gun.
Almost every light plane will carry
bombs of at least 25 pounds and from
the heavier types there will be hurled
the huge containers of high explosive
not materially different from those
used by the Germans in some of the
more recent raids.

THE GLORIFICATION OF BUSINESS

Perhaps the most insidious influence
at work in the world just now is the
constant concentration on commerce
and business. Nations are justified
for participation in the war because of
the economic pressure. America is
building an enormous fleet of ships
for the transportation of troops. but
the world is informed that these same
ships are to be used in world COM
merce after the war. After the war,
there will be big problems to settle
which will need big men and big ma
tions to solve them. 1t is to be hoped
that this Americanization of the world
has not proceeded so far that the
ideas of the men who did not go to
fight may overcome the ordeals of the
men who fought.
Americans are admittedly the dol
lar-glorifiers of the world. One Eng
lish author has called America a ma
tion of practical idealists. The peo-
pie of the United States pursue an
ideal of service, but their intensely
practical minds translate the abstract
ideal of service into the very concrete
idea of ships and marts and the buy
ing and selling of goods in the worlds
markets.
This practical application of the
theory of the universal brotherhood of
man, and mans duty to his brother,
to the business of the worlds COM
merce could only have been accom-
plished by Americans. The nation of
darers and dreamers, absorbed for
time in the conquering of its economic
surroundings, has turned at last to its
great duty of serving and helping 9TH
er peoples.
The danger lies in the fact that the
mag VI oOalSsOA Ih0 SOhAAhOASS
and business of the world after the
war may so capture the imagination
of the people of the United States,
that they will forget their ideals in
the pursuit of their ideals of expan-
sive and extensive world trade. 1t
must not be. Only by service shall a
nation be made great.

France Likes the 7. N. C. A.

The French government has appro-

1,4OO buildings similar to the "Y" huts
used by the American soldiers. There
will be at least one American secre-
tary in each foyer du soldat, as the
French huts are called. About 500 of
these buildings are said to be in opera

SOLDIERS LIKE SIMPLE SONGS
Entertainer Says They Maintain Alb.
sOlute Silence During Numbers.

The soldiers like simple songs, says
Miss Grace Hoyt, a professional sing
er who has made round Of a number
of camps as a Y. NJ C. A. entertainer.
They don't care much about operatic
selections.
Each soldier" she says, pays you
the compliment of absolute silence
during your entire number, whether 1t
be a song or a recitation. At first
this worried me a little, especially
during a funny recitation, until l was
told that they didn't laugh because
they were afraid they would miss
something"
