An American Aerodrom in England, August 2o.-(Correspondence of the As- sociAted Press. )-Flying in the air is becoming rapidly more safe, veteran instructors at the British American aerodromes in England tell their pupils. The proportion of casualties during training in the air force are now no higher, they say, than in any other branch of combatant service.
 During three years flying experi- ence I have seen upwards of 50 Crashes, but have not yet seen any man re- ceive more than skin deep injuries as the result of these crashes.P declared Lieut.. l.. Walmsley of the Royal Air force, in talk with American airmen recently.
 Probably my experience has been unusually fortunate, but statistics show that the proportion of fatalities tc crashes are extraordinarily small.
 Some of the first airplane accidents were due to the collapse of the ma chine in midair, and because the pilot in those days was merely strapped te a board or strut, without any covering whatever, the results were mostly fatal The introduction of the fuselage or body, made strongly of steel ant wood, in which the pilots and passen gers seats were placed, made 1t pos sible for an airplane to fall from grea heights without the occupants beint

ments and new divisions, even into new corps.
 The military authorities soon saw this was destructive of morale and were then faced with an alternative system
 A recently issued general order provides for a replacement battalion for each corps This is to be under command of the corps commander. Its strength IS not fixed, but will vary as circumstances require and 1t has only small pern1a- nent personnel As wounded officers and men of Class A are evacuated from hos
 pital they go to the replacement battai- ion of their original division and eventu- ally find their way back home to their army family Only when division com mander's requisition exceeds the number of men of proper grade and arm orig inally belonging to his division do new men find their way in.
 The plan has been worked out atter a careful analysis of British and French casualties with a view to determininS what percentage of casualties are evac-
 uated from hospital as of Class A, that
 is. men able to return to combat troops,
 and the army authorities believe that for
 the present at least it will meet the sit uation that has arisen. It tends to per petuate the unit personnel as fast as pos sible and there also are provisions by which both the commissioned and non
 commissioned grades will be to certain extent filled by promotion from within the division itself.

Headuuarters of. American Army Tn France, July 25.-(Correspondence, of the Associated Press. 1.-The problem of keep ing the combat units of the army up to full strength, or replacement as 1t IS technically termed, has been a perpiex- ing one to the military authorities. Here the experience of the French and British did not answer. Their systems of re- placement are based on different condi- tions than those that confront us, Both are fighting virtually at home, while we are overseas.
 Originally it was planned to create one replacement division for each corps. This was to be fully equipped and organized d;y;sion fed from depot division as men were drawn from it to fill the combat divisions. Theoretically this was perfect, but problems of many kinds began to develop in practice. First, in time or need it was seen that completed and trained division could not lie idle. but inevitably would be drawn into the com bat troops, thus destroying the essential replacement reserve.
 Then came question of personnel and
 morale. A very high percentage lof
 wounded soon are able to return to the
 frcnt, but. under the proposed system
 when they were discharged from hos
 pital their original units were filled and they were sent to strange commands. lr this way the spirit and loyalty that is developed in each division. making it a coherent body with characteristics all its own, were threatened. Officers and mer returning from hospital went into the re placement division and then might gc where chance sent them, into new regi

killed. Because of the central position of the fuselage, this is always the last part to feel the effects of a crash, the main force of which is broken by the under-carriage and planes, which act as buffers.
 1.-TWO days after I joined the Royal Air force I saw a machine come down a giddy spinning dive and land square, ly on the roof of one of the hangars. The pilot climbed out and, lighting cigarette, calmly asked if the other machine was ready.
 During the next few weeks, l saw no fewer than five crashes, and not in single case was either pilot or observer hurt
 "Since then, in nearly three years of flying, I must have seen perhaps 5o crashes I have seen airplanes crash into hangars, stone walls, houses, lamp posts, trenches, motor lorries and bridges Personally l have crashed into barn, on a tennis court, in a flooded field, and into a tropical for est; the last at a speed of so miles an hour. And in all these adventures, I have not yet seen man receive any thing worse than a skinned nose as the result of a crash, and -the only wound I ever got myself was made by a thorn from a prickly pear bush. "An airman can usually tell when a ! crash is inevitable, and like lightning

Trenches of Huns Like Palaces

In an article in the American Maga- zine an author says:
 Macdonald was in the Somme offen- sive when the British pushed the Ger mans back from positions which had been made as nearly impregnaSU as pos sible. The Huns had constructed elab- crate dugouts 50 feet underground, which would accommodate 5000 men besides the officers. He occupied one of these off, cers' dugouts and found them almost palatiali They were big rooms with con- crete floors, steel ranges, pianos-all the luxuries of homel The ceilings were eight or 10 feet high. timbered like mine chamber, and with steel rails supporting the ground overhead. Holes had been drilled up to the air for ventilation. Some of these underground rooms were as big as good-siZed restaurants.
 'The front line trenches were paved with concrete and kept free If water by petrol pumps. While the British had been in mud up to their knees the Hun trenches were almost as dry as the Burl- ington arcade"

Impossible to Tell Full Story

 During Great Austrian Defeat

Italian Front. July 1.-The full story y-- wcrk of the American Red Cross
 Italy durlng the Austrian defeat or lure l424 will never be written. Some it lies in the experience of young Amer can volunteers in canteens at advanced posts who cooked for every combatant who appeared until ordered to fall back put of fire More is in the memories of Red Cross ambulance men who for 10 lays anl nights drove their freight through continuous shell fire and occa- ional machine gun attack. The remain fer is buried in columns of figures at headquarters in Rome, from which, with n few hours of the first warning, sup plies were poured along every road to he front
 Before dawn on the night of June IA, Ihe first Austrian shock came. Behind he waiting Italian army were four sec lions of American Red Cross ambulances. hany of the Americans on duty were new b Italy and to war. The others were vet kran drivers from the French front; some If whom began their service long before he United States declared war The GU . lous fact is that between the records of the veterans and the amateurs there uands today little difference. Cool-h head tdness under fire is soon learned if lt san be learned at all, and to balance the veterans experience the new man is fre- uuently the more eager, in career In which the value of eagerness runs clcse Second to dexterity and common sense.
 A report made to the Italian supreme command by the commander of American Red Cross ambulance section No. 2, the largest of the four sections, takes special notice oe the acts of a volunteer, Gold- bhwaite H Dorr of Nutley, N. J., on the night of June 14. He was on duty at an advanced post which was hit by an enemy she'll which demolished part of the house and completely covered his ambulance Returning to the headquarters of the pection, he there took charge Of another Ambulance and returned to the field or battle in order that he might continue bis work of pity.
 MANY SIMILAR INSTANCES
 The report of Section No. is full or similar instances of bravery. John Wal- ter Miller, Jr., of Kenora, Ontario, Can ada, and Frederic J. Agate of Scarsdale, N. Y., were ordered to front post. Ar irving at a cross road they found 1t cov- cred with barbed wire obstacles and two machine guns in place. With the Heip of the machine gun operators, they tore down and opened the barbed wire, ana advanced 3s0 meters further, and reacned a house where the wounded were being cared for while bullets of the two armies were raining all around them. Havlns loaded their automobile with woundeA they returned to the stations where the Injured received first-aid treatment
 At 3 o'clock on the morning or tne 18th the commander of the section judged by the intensity of the bombardment that certain advance post required re- Enforcement of ambulances.

DIFFICULT MOMENIS
 The most difficult moments of that job were the times of passage of hospital trains, when steaming cauldrons were transported to the station platform and cups of hot coffee held to the lips of men too seriously hurt to move. Otherwise, the daily and nightly vista there, as else where, was one long succession of dust covered columns, brown faces and hun gry mouths.
 On the shoulders of the officials at headquarters in Rome rested, chiefly, the problem of transportation. Supplies that had been stored at some distance from the lines had to tS moved to the front, and the vacancies filled from below AL ready northern Italy had been covered with a network of stores at strategic points, and emergency communications marked out. When the attack came, within three hours after the early news reached Rome, the emergency mechanism was at work. By railroad, by automo- bile, occasionally by boat and frequently as the hand baggage of Red Cross offi- cers hurrying to the front supplies moved forward procession of laden camions started from centers in northern Italy. Thus every department of the Red Cross worked as unit during these days of excessive stress; each American working 1 in harmony with his Italian comrades | toward the victory which was uppermost l in the heart sof all.

Peace Is
Worth What
We Make It

For more than year we have
worked together, saved together
and combined our savings for the
general use in a time of need.
The victorious result has just
been celebrated all over the world
except in Hun camps.
In reality we have exercised
nothing more than the old pio-
neer practice of personal thrift
and united action.
1t is a principle as old as the
world, the source of all legiti-
mate power and the foundation
of all personal worth.
There could be no greater loss
by this war than to lose the prac-
teal realization it has awakened
of what individual thrift and
unanimous determination as a
people to do the right thing
means.

LOCKETT BROTHERS
BURNED OFT

One of the most destructive fires Of
recent years occurred in the downtown
district last Monday morning when
the large wholesale stock of grocer
les and building were completely de-
stroyed. The origin Of the fire is yet
unknown. The stock Of goods amount
ing to over 100000 was covered by
insurance, and the greatest loss to
Lockett Bros, will be from loss Of
business, and having to replace the
stock at greatly increased prices.
This enterprising firm have opened
up for business in the building on
West Market street, recently occupied
by c. G. Hannah, and. until new
stock can be laid in all orders are be-
ing filled by their Bristol house
The building was owned by Mr.. w.

and was only partly covered by insur-
ance.
