ALLIES PLAN TO
POOLAIR FORCE
War Chies Led by Painleve
Discuss Unncation of
Flying Corps.

London. June 27.-The allied war
chiefs are considering the problem
of coordination OF their aviation
forces or their consolidation into
one great air corps.
Unifcation of the armies has
proved so successful in the recent
German offensiyes that military
men are asking:
why not unity the flying corps
in the same way?"
England recently took a step in
this direction by consolidating the
Royal Naval Flying Corps and the
Royal Aviation Service, which was
the army's flying corps. into one
organization known as the Royal
Air Force.
1t is now proposed to unite the
aviators of Britain, France and
America in one great army OF
aiiators under one command, thus
efrecting unity of machines, mo-
tors, and methods and doing away
with duplication of efforts.
Paul Painleve. president OF the
aviation group of the French
chamber of deputies. is one of the
sponsors Of air unity. Writing in
the Petit Parisien he says:
Let the allies pool their knowl-
edge and their inventive faculties
in aviation as they have pooled
thei rcorn and their gold"

Women Holds Out Brilliant Future for

The women of the United States

The speaker was Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst. who for years had Eng

while she battied for vomaa's rights
II was she who invented the hunger
strike when they Imprisoned her.
England, In recognition Of wpr work
Of women, has given the franchise to
all over so who are, householders or
wives Of householders.
Brings Great Opportunity.
I asked Mrs. Pankhurst what the
war had done for women.
What it has done to them Is self
evident" said she. 1T has scared
their hearts with grief. But It has
also brought us great opportunities of
serving our country as nurses, as mu-
milton workers and In a hundred diff
fecent taskes.
"The woman's Party, which !
represent, Is a political organization
which has devoted its time to help
ing the government. We realized
that the prime question was how to
preserve our country. What is a
vote II there Is no country, left?
IF we lost the war, the women of
the allied nations would be below
even the status of the German
women, the lowest of all civilized ma
tons. The German mans idea OF
his womankind accounts for all the
atrocities the German soldiers have
perpetrated upon the defenseless
women Of the countries they have
invaded.
That is the reason We have
thrown ourselves so actively into
propaganda work for our country.

TRENCH PAPER
BRINGS TRIALS
PUBLISHERS
Producing The Spiker
No Easy Matter, Letter
Points Out.

New York, June T.-The trials and
tribulations Of American newspaper
men engaged in getting out publica-
tons In France are amusingiy told
in recent letter from r. ]. Kirk, a
former western coast peyspaper man
and now the business manager OF
The spiker," meritorious publica-
tion issued by the men of Eighteenth
Engineers Railway, u. s. Aarmy.
We've got troubles galore" writes
Kirk. 'sOur stan consists Of Jack
Burroughs, a former San Francisco
newspaper man, and myself. Jack Is
supposed to be the editor, but occa-
sionally I have to send him on a BUSH
pess trip. That settles the business
He gets to dreaming Of snow birds
and poetry or to 'parley-vousing' with
some French damolselle and-exit busi-
neaaL
Knows "a Words.
But Burroughs is useful because Of
his knowledge Of French. He knows
0ree words and an additional conju-
Eafion more than do. Our combined
vocabulary now consists of thirty
seven words, five ready-made SEN
tences auh seven idioms.
Our greatest asset Is a proofreader
who can read and write English but
cannot speak it, Just like talking to
a deaf and dumb man. When we run
out of French, while conducting a
business deal. we send for the proof
reader and Monsieur acts as inter-
lccutor.
The French always come to our
rcscue whenever we are faced by a
paper shortage. When The Spiker'
was in the making the French es-
pionage act demanded that it carry
the name of the publisher and the
place where it was, printed. The
American censorship would not per-
nit the paper to carry the name OF
the town. We got a compromise
wherein we only had to carry the
name Of the editor. Finally, We were
permitted to. drop the. name.
= Printers Interested.
The printers are French and take
n great pride in getting out The
Spiker' They neither like nor COM
prong our style of makeup, but
follow typewriter copy admirably.
The Spiker' was originally intend
ed only for circulation in the regi-
ment. but has grown with such
strides that it has become popular
with all arms of the service and is
now established as the Army Maya
zine of the American Expeditiopary
Forces. The boys send hundreds OF
copies home each month, as postage
is free"
