OVER NOTED i

In France In April. 1917. He brought
down 30 Germans for certain-he
actually saw that number crash-but
he drove down many more out Of con-
troll. Among the 30 were the German
superfiyers Voss and Schafer.
The story Of the defeat of voss,
who had been credited with being the
greatest airmnn of all the armies, Is
thrilling. When Rhys Davids went up
with a squadron Of six and four Ger
mans were sighted, 1t was not so easy
as 1t seemed, for Voss was among
them, and he took on three of the
British machines. Two Of these he
put out Of action, causing them to re-
turn home with their engines full OF
lead. The third was the boy from
Elton.
Voss and Rhys made n duel Of II.
The Hun was in n trlplane, and there
was n most tremendous fight. The
story of 1t was afterward told to the
family by an officer acquainted with
the facts.
:" want to give Voss all credit
says Miss Rhys Davids, sister Of the
brave young nirman, In repeating the
story. "He had n fearful fight with
the three for twenty minutes. and
then my brother and Voss wheeled
round and round and then, suddenly
Voss crashed to earth.
YES, my brother spoke Of one OF
two narrow escapes. On the very first
time he went up out there something
made him turn round, and to his ms
constituent he saw a Hun on his tail
If he had not glanced round at that
moment he would have been killed
Worse still, his gun jammed, and foi
ten minutes he had to get out of this
machines way by rolling and turn.
Ing. Then suddenly, to his amaze
ment, the Hun turned tail and went
home. That was one of the narrowest
escapes he had.
"My brother was inclined to fy
recklessly low, and that is probably
how he met his death in October, last
year. We knew he was missing, and
we hoped and hoped for eight weeks
before We had any practical certainty
Shot "Painted Banana"
"He had very often been in n biz
fight Of % on each side, and when he
wrote home about such, he said: All
you can think of Is pumping lead into
any machine you see and looking out
and avoiding collisions, just missing
each other by perhaps a couple OF
feet. He used to laugh when he saw
the German machines painted up like
an unripe banana. He described one
of these machines, and said that when
1t came toward him he chuckled with
laughter at the curious appearance OF
it, and then let fly. He brought the
painted banana down"
And o. young Rhys Davlds has
himself been brought down. But he
lives a memory of schoolboy British
pluck that can never die.
Among other raiders mentioned In
the Gazette Is Lieut.. r. II. Ayre, r. F
C., who during one Of his "many sue
cessful raids" bombed an enemy air
ship shed, and on another occasion
bombed a railway station from O
height Of 800 feet. He also derallet
part Of a train and poured machin,
gun fire on It's occupants. The mill

Government Plans Vast Army Of
Youths to Help Nation.
Working Reserve, Organization Of
Young Men BetWeea Sixteen and
Twenty-One, TO Aid Uncle Sam.

A drive to enroll 100000 boys In
serve is in full swing. At the confer
ence of directors of the movement re-
GENTLY reports Indicated that the vast
majority of high-school boys of Amer
lea will be enlisted in the registered
army of patriotic youths between six
teca and twentyone years, organized
unoer the department of labor to helI
Uncle Sam in field and in factory, to
win the war.
The government at Washington in
making an inventory of possible sour
ces of labor supply has discovered
great war labor reservoir In the shape
of boys. There are more than 5000
900 youths between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-one, of whom nearly 2000,-
600 either are idle for a substantial
part Of the year or are employed In
some occupation which does not help
to win the war.
This is the boy power that the Boys
Working Reserve is moblizng. Every
boy who jumps in and helps do the
work of soldier who has gone to the
front has a chance to earn a bronze
badge of honor bearing the great seal
of the United States, numbered and
registered, with his name, in the ar
chives at Washington. The national
insignia can be earned in anyone of
three separate upits-agriculturai, in
dustrial or vocational training.
Farm training camps each to con-
tain so to 100 boys, for intensive in
struction in agriculture were recon-
mended to the conference of one state
by the committee on national inten-
sive training. 1t recommends also:
THAT there shall be established in
agricultural colleges or schools courses
of training in agriculture, and that in
high schools and in other schools
where there are boys OF sixteen years
of age and over, there shall be estab-
lished like courses to secure Teason-
able efficiency among the BOYS for
work upon the farms"
All the schools are to be given q
chance to cooperate in every patriotic
endeavor of the states and nation.

STEAMER PARCEL POST
Coast-Wise Water Routes Have
Been Established.
Facilitates Service to Uncle San's
Various Environments, Relieving ,
Railroad Congestion.

The post office department has es-
tahlished coastwise parcel post water
routes-primarily to facilitate service
for Uncle Sans cantonments-whi
will operate to relieve the wartime
railroad congestion and expedite serv-
ice for the general public.
In the present congested condition of
transportation practically as prompt
service is to be obtained by water
routes to certain points as by rail, and
the railroads may By that means be
considerably relieved.
Steamer routes for parcel post have
been established from:
Boston to Norfolk,
Boston to Savannah,
New York to Norfolk,
New York to Charleston,
New York to jacksonville,
New York to Savannah,
New York to New Orleans,
New York to Galveston,
Philadelphia to Savannah,
philadelphia to Jacksonville,
Baltimore to Savannah.
Baltimore to Jacksonville.
Special delivery, insured, perishable,
parcels too large for inclusion in sacks,
and eggs will not be carried on these
-outes. All parcels will be placed in
bonded storerooms on the steamers.
and both the shipping and delivery of
the parcels will be i'll charge of postal
agents.
About four carloads of parcels were
previously handled daily over these
routes, thus releasing that number OF
cars for general transportation service.
| 1t Is expected that this service Will
| amount to several train loads daily,
which will aid materially to relieve
freight congestion.
The department in various ways Is
contributing to the relief of the rail-
road situation, in cooperation with the
roads, as far as it can without interfer'
ing with the prompt delivery of mail.
A considerable saving of cars nnt
the occupation of car space in depots
is being accomplished by routing
through cars for long distances wher1
it has been the practice to transfer
mail from one car to another at certain
distributing points.
The employment of two cars Is in
volved in each transfer and in some
cases two such transfers have been The
practice. BY a tnrough-car routing
saving of both Of cars and depot space
Is made.
A large number of through cars are
now being routed from the East Il
such distant points as st. Louis, Kan
sas City, San Antonio, San Francisco
Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Jack
sonville and other points where here
tofore one or two transfers have beer
made.
BY the employment of the space sys
tenn 1t is estimated, also, as shown il
the latest report of the postmaster gen
eral, cars have been released for th'
general transportation service equiva
lent to three trains of ten cars eacl
