No Insiani. for Wounded Sailors.

Washington, May 13.-Secretary
Daniels has ruled against creating
special INSIGNIA for members Of the
naval force who are wounded In &C
tion.. : On the theory that sailors who
escape the enemy fire in many cases
prove more valorous than those who
come within the path Of bullets the
bureau OF navigation has decided that
no distinguishing mark be awarded by
the department.
This view is shared by Secretary
Daniels, although numerous officers OF
the naval service. following the estab-
l:shment of wound 'chevrons by the war
department, urged that similar action
be taken by the navy. A service stripe
for the present war. however, is to be
bestowed by the department on officers
and men who are entitled to the honor.
It was pointed out that Secretary
Daniels does not let an opportunity
pass to officially commend men in the
service who show distinguished service,
and express commentator Of the
nen or the awarding Of the navy's
medal Of honor.

A;rp]a,,e "Circu,'
No,u Fixed Part of
Fctt'ing Campaigns

London, May l3.-The airplane
circus which was introduced by the
Germans two years ago. has taken a
iotable part IN the fighting on the
Western front recently. The use of the
,ord circus" in this connection has
'ow become recognized among both
british and French aviators. 1t indi-
ates virtually a specially Nnrsanizcd
roop of picked pilots whose job Is
imply to destroy enemy airp!anes.
These circuses are complete units
equipped with their own transport
mechanical shops, and all necessary &C
cessories. Wherever there is fighting to
be done, the circuses move quickly to
the>danger point. If big attack IS to
be made by either side. the rival cir
cl,ses are moved to aerodromes IN
that district. and each endeavors to
prevent the others reconnaissance ma
chimes from operating. The circus per
forms. in fact. precisely the functions OF
destroyer fotillas in the navy.
The first circus WIS formed by Cap
tain Boelke. one Of the early German
star pilots. He collected number OF
picked pilots, Including the Richthefens
Voss, and Schaefer, of whom the two
latter have been killed within a year
Boelke himself Nas killed in 1916. and
the elder Richthofen took over the cir
Gus.
On the British side. the reply came
in a squadron organized by Major
Hawker, which the Germans called the
amt Richthofen Circus" Ultimately
Hawker fell in fight with Richthofen
During the fighting of the past few
weeks several circuses of picked pilots
have been in action on both sides. They
have reduced fighting in formation to
fine are, each pilot maneuvering as one
of a team and refusing to be drawn
away from the formation into single
handed fights.

Chicago, May 13.-The nations in
dustrlal manpower has not suffered so
serious depletion as a result Of the
United States first year In the world
war, so far as indicated in recent sur
veys of the general labor situation
conducted by the United States En-
ployment Service and the Illinois Free
Employment Bureau. Except in GER
tain skilled trades these bureaus find
there is no marked shortage of labor,
tho chief problem at present being
distribution
The labor turnover so far this year
has been greater than in other years
This Is attributed to some extent to
unusual opportunities for individual
betterment offered by plants working
on war contracts.
On an average 100000 persons are
obtaining employment thru the Chi
cago district office Of the federal bu-
reau as compared with a total of 1876,
900 during the fiscal year This huge
increase is accounted for by the recent
reorganization of the bureau for serv-
ice as the national machinery for the
mobilization and distribution Of the
country's labor. AS such it has handled
the applications Of hundreds of thou
sands Of workers registering with the
Public Service Reserve, including more
than 100000 mechanics for shipbuild-
ing.
A system OF daily surveys shows the
bureaus where the greatest shortages
or surpluses exist and with this infor-
nation it Us able to make economic
distribution. Manufacturers are be-
ing urged to use the government
agency as far as possible in orde; 70

also began to walk out. At
