HOW MONEY is SENT
OUT OF ITALY
(By Associated Press.)

American Aviation Camp, Southern
italy, May .1-Control Of young men
on foreign soil is considered one OF
the main difficulties Of their training
by the American commander here.
The instruction in the art OF practi-
cal flying is far easier than teaching
them how to avoid the inevitable
temptations presented to visitors In
new and interesting country. AS the
very life of the aviators depends on
their mental and physical condition,
without counting machines worth 3d.
600 or more each, the commander is
doing all in his power to teach his
aviators to lead sober lives in every
respect.
The rough and ready discipline ap-
Piled to infantry or artillery or cav
airy has not been found adapted to
aviators on whose morale so much
depends. Downright drunkenness ana
the contraction of avoidable diseases
are the only two offenses which meet
with severe punishment, and the lat
ter always means courtmartial.
For the rest, persuasion is used, In
the nightly lectures on flying, the
aviators frequently are reminded OF
this stern fact: "You have been sent
over here after great expense by the
government of the United States. A
whole lot Of money is being spent on
YOU, probably more than some OF you
are worth. But you were picked out
as first class men, and it's up to you
to prove it."
A small handbook entitled "Practi-
cal Flying Hints" has just been puo-
lished for the benefit of the camp oy
one of the Italian instructors, and the
foreword by the American command
er deals with the care of the body
The first requisite for an aviator
is a strong and healthy body" II
reads. "In addition to that he must
have the proper nervous and menta'
makeup, always on the alert and with
absolute control over his body. he
must not be Of an excitable nature
nor know fear, for aviation is not the
branch Of service for a man with q
yellow streak"

need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warriag NatieNs Have 0eeistsl Live
etsek at Enesmeus Rate, Eyes
Killing Daily Cattle For Feed.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their nocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown q disposition to
cooperate with the government In in
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today 10 probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-u.h@re 100000
acres of pasture lands have Teen turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows. For September.
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIT %;
November and December, $160S: jan
larry, $144O. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had l4,S07 900 head of
cattle In 1913, she now has only H.
341, 900, a decrease of 1866 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced TO sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
