THOMPSON GETS
A HIGHER POST
Brother of States Attorney Is Now
Aviation Instructor in
Mississippi.
LETTER TELLS OF WORK
Says Much of His Time Is Spent Up
in Air With Those Learn
ing to Fly.

David L. Thompson, brother of
States Attorney Floyd +. Thomp-
son, is now an instructor at Payne
Field. West Point, Miss.
This information, together with
thrilling tales of his experiences.
have been received here in a letter
to the states attorney.
Lieutenant Thompson has been at
Payne Field for two weeks He
graduated in the study of aviation
at Ellington Field, Houston, Texas.
After his graduation he was sent to
Camp Dix, Md, where he served as
physical instructor An excerpt
from the letter follows:
Il have been in the air six hours
and % minutes today. That Is rath-
er a short day for me since l have
been here. | am first assistant at
the r. NJ. A. stage and ] am up with
someone most all the time At first
l had to try out every man before
he was given a ship alone. Now
have some help and it is not so bad
| am also instructing in stunt fly
ing; in fact, | am instructing in
everything they have on the field.
Not Scratch.
Have been finding cross country
fields. That was sure a good job.
l made landings all over this coun-
try. Was sure lucky. l have never
scratched a ship since I have been
here. 1 am the only instructor who
has not been in at least one piIe-up,
and have done more flying than
any two of them"

ROCK ISLAND LIEUTENANT POINTS TO
NEED OF AMERICAN SHIPS IN LETTER
HE SENDS FROM TRENCHES IN FRANCE

What we most need is ships.
We have the men" writes Lieuten-
ant IT. c, Smith. Jr., in France, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert c. Smith,
314 Ninth street, to his father.
I'm glad to hear that the people
over there are doing so well for the
Liberty loan" Lieutenant Smith
continues. The United States has
enough men. but we have to get
them over here. One million and a
half men over here now could drive
the Huns back into Germany with
no trouble at all. This is not mere
ly conjecture because l know
what conditions are on the Ameri-
can sector and what the Huns have
opposing us.
Every man in the American ex-
peditionary forces has ships on the
brain. not because of any propa-
ganda over here, for there has been
none. but simply because we are in
8 position to see and to know. A
few months ago our mail was held
up. everybody was complaining but
now, when We don't get our mail
for several weeks. all you hear is,
Well. if the government needs the
ships to transport men, l can gel
along without my mall and that is
the way they all feel.
But | think we are going to have
the men over here before fall and
if so, just watch and see what hap
pens
I would normally have 10 days
leave coming now and had intended
to spend it down along the Medi-
terranean, but all leaves in the al
lied armies have been temporarily
called off and in all probability

LESS DRINKENNESS.

Wartime regulation of
the liquor trade in England has
brought about a decrease of 81
per cent in drunkenness, say Of
fetal reports.
4 believe we have now reached
low water mark" Sir Edward
Henry, commissioner of the Metro
politan police, states in letter
to Lord D'Abernon, chairman of
the Liquor Control board, "and
that no measure not even of total
rohibition-would be likely 10
bring about any further appreci-
able reduction in the number of
charges of drunkenness.

won't be granted again until after
the allied offensive, which is bound
to come. l hope permanent leave
will come soon, but, as l say, if we
only had more ships."
