that the soldiers dressed in the uni

only Russian white guards nasduer-

was fighting against the Germans.
At one place the Bolshevilsi sent

death unless they fought against, the.

German Mines
Set to Explode
After Many Days
C'sse15 ps4vJoossy ka)

With the French Army in France
Sept. 12.-Prisoners recently cap
tured by the French have thrown
light upon the work of destruction
undertaken by the retreating Ger
mans with the aid of extremely slow
fuses that produce an explosion OF
mines, days and even weeks after
the Teutons have evacuated a local

The same system that destroyed
Chateau Bethancourt to the west of
Guiscard, September s, and the
Cathedral at Nesle shortly after
ward was used freely at Ham and
Noyon, and is being utilized by the
Germans in preparation for the de-
struction of villages north and
northeast of Rheims.
Prisoners who worked with a de-
tachment Of pioneers placing mines
under church pillars in that region
say the Germans are making ready
to raze all the towns to the ground.
Traps are being laid by use OF
the same system in the forest of
st. Gobain and in the region of Laon,
while all the cross roads in those
regions, according to the captives
are being heavily mined. Some of
these preparations for wholesale de-
struction are behind the Hindenburg

TRAINING OF
Low FLIERS"
is THOROUGH
-.
High Degree of Skill and
Daring Is Demanded
" of Recruits

Behind British Lines in France,
August 20.-(Correspondence Of The
Associated Press. )-"Ground flying"
is perhaps the most exciting Of all
the aerial tactics in which the Brit
fish airnen are instructing their Am
ertcan pupils In Northern France. IT
demands a high combination of skill
and daring, but II is a game in which
the British have during the past
wear won a marked superiority over
the Germans.
The training of ground flying"
pilots Is particularly thorough, and
includes much necessary practic
in leaping hills, trees and Atele-
graph poles, etc.-in a manner which
promptly leads the uniformed spec
fator to condemn the airman as a
reckless fool.
But falling this practice the pilot
would never acquire the skill ana
confidence necessary for this highly
specialized type Of work. The ma
chimes used are fast and difficult to
fly and operating so close to the
ground the pilot knows that he has
literally no more margin for indeci-
sion or hesitating than he has in &C
tual aerial combat.
Acts On Own Initiative.
In ground flying" tactics the pilot
acts mainly on his own personal in
atiative, and he must be prepared to
ATTACK the enemy whenever he may
be found, either with bombs, gren-
AIDES, darts, or machine gun fire.
Thus German officers in charge Of
ammunition dumps have every rea-
son to fear the approach Of a Brit
.asf '1ow flier." The fear of machine
gun fire is even greater. and whole
German regiments have been deci-
mated and demoraltzed by British
airplanes.
German batteries railway stations,
billets, training grounds and aero
dromes are frequently attacked in
this way. and the moral affect is
very great. Won Richthofen, the fam
Gus German airfighter. now dead,
once described how an English ma
chine one night came down to a
height of $50 feet. through fusil-
iade of gun fire and binding glare
OF searchlights. to bomb a German
aerodrome with deadly effect. RIGHT
-i1ofen considered 1t tremendously
plucky that the man didn't swerve,
eut came straight on in accordance
with his plans"

Athletics VIII
Be Maintained

The status and condition of col
lege athletics among the larger east
ern universities is outlined in a, gem
eral way by the prospects at Cornell
as viewed by The Alumni News.
The article is, in part, as follows:
intercollegiate athletics wilt be
maintained at Cornell during the
next college year, at least as far as
major sports are concerned, In the
opinion of persons interested in
these activities. OF course the ath-
letic situation is uncertain. pending
the passage by congress of the new
man power act, and the promulga-
ton of regulations for its admins
tration by the war department. No
one can estimate how many students
will return this. fall, and whether the
number will be large enough to
furnish material for the varsity
teams and financial support to meet
the necessary expenses,
AT present, however, 1t is pro-
posed to go ahead and develop
teams for football, cross country,
track, and baseball. In view of the
lack of undergraduate interest in
rowing last year it is regarded as
doubtful if an effort should be made
to carry out. any sort Of intercolle-
gfate rowing schedule this year"
