RECKLESS GEsTIcULATloN.

Of course the war must 60 on, but
traffic policemen on Fifth avenue
have banded together to keep the set
Element Of it off that thoroughfare.
The reason lies in the fact that with
in the last few months they have been
forced to warn hundreds of automo-
bile drivers against what threatens
to become bad case of habitual
reckless gesticulation. A typical ex-
ample occurred recently in Fifth ave-
nue., when the traffic officer held up
his hand at an approaching fivver.
When the car stopped the three oc>
cupants were holding out their hands
in three diverse ways, indicating the
intention to take three widely vary
ing directions. One man was point
ing north, one east and one west.
The policeman scratched his head.
Gust for my curiosity, you know"
he said, "where in the world do you
want to go?" ''Why, straight ahead,
of course, officer was the response.
''What makes you ask?" 'What
makes me ask?" snorted the blue
coat. "Look at the way you were
pointing. What's the matter with
you, anyhow" The driver blushed.
And then the driver explained.
"Sorry, officer" he said, "we were so
busy arguing about the war and put
ting in a few gestures we forgot
where we were."- New York Times.

DO MORE WALKING m WINTER
Cold Weather the Best Time for Exer.
else That Is Beneficial to the
= Indoor Worker.

Winter weather diminishes greatly
the time spent in the open air by
those who ride in automobiles. 1t
comes near putting bicycles out of
use. From steamboats, to canoes,
there is almost entire cessation Of
water outings.
All of which means that more
walking instead Of less ought to be
done in cold weather. There is no
other way of moving about in the
open air which keeps healthy hui
man beings feet SO warm and brings
such glow Of warmth from the
body itself. If the pedestrian is prop
erly clad, especially in respect to
keeping dryshod, all Of the effects of
winter walking should be beneficial.
With little care and discretion
such exercise can be made as agree
able as it is wholesome. Usually
there is no dust. Often the tempera-
ture is neither too low for comfort
nor too high for vigorous exercise
without WEAKNESS or lassitude.
Rightly timed and kept within
bounds, winter walking is a good pre-
caution against the i'll effects of Sc
dentary life and too much indoor air.

MAJOR HANLEY,
.NANDAN, WRITES
OF VISIT INTO
FRONT TRENCHES
Dugout Seems Mighty Safe
Place After Trip, Dako-
ia Jurist Says

Mandan, n. D., May 11.-Afajor
James NJ. Hanley, Of this city, who
was recently reported to have re-
cdved a slight flesh wound from
shrapnel while In actton on the
western front, has written a very in
teresting account Of visit he made
q few weeks ago 10 the front line
trenches.
Major Hanley in civil life is judge
Of the Twelfth Judicial district, and
has been prominent in the politics
Of North Dakota. At the time the
guard was called out for service on
the Mexican border he was major Of
the third battalion OF the First North
Dakota, but retired from the service
on the return OF the regiment, When
the Second regiment was organized
he was given the appointment as
major Of the third battalion Of the
new unit. At Charlotte, N. c., how
ever, when the Second was smash
ed Major Hanley was placed In COM
nand OF the l48th Machine Gun bat
TALON, with which he Is now serving
in France.
He explains his trip to the front
as follows:
"T went forward from here Come
where) on February 21 and arrived
at a place (uame cannot be men
tioned) on the 23rd, where we were
within sound Of the guns and where
the Boche aeroplanes came over most
every day, and on March "a I went
into the trenches at a. place which
also cannot be mentioned.

"On the morning that we began the
Journey to the front line we were up
and on our way at o'clock The
train was packed, and we could hard
Iy get a seat. At the destination Of
the train we had to stop for the bal
ance Of the day in order to wait for
an auto the following morning, and
that night I slept in a hotel bed
which was the first hotel bed I had
been in since leaving New York In
the morning at five started In the
auto with two soldiers and two lieu
tenants, and we passed many inter
esting sights, one OF them being a
village that had been completely de-
stroyed by the BoChe shells.
"On the trip going forward that
first morning the place where l
stopped for breakfast with the
French general was q city that was
over double the size OF Mandan, and
It had been continually bombed and
siieIIed by the Boche. The railway
station was out Of business, and
everything in the line OF merchandise
that was used in the city had to be
hauled a distance Of ten miles by
team. When we left there by auto
still going forward we wore our
steel helmets and had our gas masks
ready for instant adjustment, as we
were in dangerous territory and ev-
cry short distance on the road we
were met by sentries to whom our
pass was shown.

Eighty-six Fatalities in
Texas Aviation Fields
to April II
MANY AVLATORS
LOSE THEIR NERVE
Number Is Very Small in
Comparison to the Men

1Rr Aasociatad Press.l }

Dallas, Texas, May 11.-There Is
reason for every aviation accident.
Sometimes it is an obvious one, but
too often only the dead flyer ever
knew Just what sent his machine
crashing to the ground.
Up to the middle Of April there had
been SO fatalities In the six Texas
aviation camps, and In many Of the
accidents that caused them no one
knew Just what unexpected condition,
Just what weakness in man or ma
terial had developed high in the air.
Fort Worth, with its three aviation
fields and it's preponderance OF flyers
training under the British officers in
the Royal Flying corps. had 49 deaths
up to April II: Houston was next
with 1S.

cation of rules, unfarniliarity with
peculiar aerial conditions. faulty ma

No Brakes TO Apply.
In flying there are no brakes to
apply. The pilot must bc alert and
ready for any emergency. A plane
just leaving the field has the advan-
tage over a plane about to land in an
impending disaster. The landing
plane is going much faster than the

avoid the crash.
Machines passing in the game di-
rection should have an interval of at
least 400 yards to insure safety
against collisions. When they are
passing over and under, they must
have at least $50 yards between them.

advance parties OF them, who have
presumably shown greater aptitude
than the rest in the eight weeks or
SO Of training which they have had
SO far, have evidently been sent in
to be recruited into the battered di-
visions which have taken part in the
recent offensive. Apparently they
will be used Immediately and some
months before they would normally
have come up were 1t not for the
very high losses which the enemy
has suffered In the course OF his re-
cent attacks.
What those losses are it Is quite
impossible to determine with even
the toughest approach to accuracy,
But of the two extremes advanced
half a million on one side and
three hundred and fifty thousand on
the other-it is safe to sey the lat
ter is within the mark. The equiv
alent of 1872 divisions have been

been used, the balance between
these figures and the 1872 divisions
identified being made up of diyi-a
sions which have been used twice
or even three times.
Basis For Estimating
Losses Of the Germans.
Now, although divisions will not
be kept in line for an offensive ac-
tion up to any such limits Of loss as
will the defensive units before being
retired, 1t iB hardly credible that this
mass Of nearly a million and q half
Of infantry alone, without counting
artillery or other troops, can have
suffered so little as % or % per cent
OF its forces during 30 long and in
tense series of actions.
The units Of which we have de-
tail information have. Of course, suf~
Iered very much more heavily than
the case OF the Ath Er5atz division,
which was virtually wiped out at
Givenchy. We have the 18th Re-
serve division which was thrown
against the French and pounded into
nearly the saTne case. We have the
LIST Guards Reserve division, losing
something like third OF les officers
in one days action. We have from
20 to 30 detailed examined and corr
reoted cases OF this kind, and we
have further to guide us tbs expe-
rience Of the Allies themselves when
they have attempted a continued
intense offensive action.
From all these things it becomes
certain that the German Losses can
certainly not be less than the as0,
900 figure given above and are pEobs
