DOZENS FLYING At
SEAPLANE CAMP

! American Seaplane Training Camp,
Italy, May 20 (By maiD-A flying
day on the beach here, with the roar
ing of the engines of dozens Of sea-
planes overhead, on the water, start
ing out or returning, with cries of
command in two or three languages,
presents a stirring picture.
Life and death hang in the balance
every instant. Those in command are
far more apprehensive than they care
to show.
"You can't make cmelettes without
breaking eggs" they explain, as they
watch a machine beginning to nose
too soon preparatory to making a
landing.
Look at him; he's sure to cut in
on that other fellow and bump him, y
one exclaims. To the uninitiated the
two aviators who are trying to make
a landing near the home beach seem
to have hundreds of yards of space
in which to maneuvre, but the cffi-
GERS know they have but little space.
As the two machinese are travelling
at S5 to 90 milese an hour on their
nose dive, the matter of possible
collision is soon settled, and favor
ably. Both hit the water safely on
their tails-the proper way-and race

explained one of the officers. Their
nerves are their courage, their flying
ability, and if you take away their
confidence, you may spoil good avi-

"Look out there; you'll break those
wings!" called the American comman-
der as two seaplanes came shooting
up the beach, too close together for
comfort. The helpers in the water
seized them and dragged them in to
a safe landing.
That's one of the troubles with
having too many machinese about,
explained the commander. "When a
seaplane starts in for the beach the
aviator cuts off the power and then
he can't steer it any longer. when
the wind is unfavorable or the water
is rough, they have to make several
trials sometimes before they can get

ENGLISH WOMEN

English women want to make a ster

rhey are told by mere man that
good eyesight and good nerves are es-
sential Most women have both. And
combined with these qualifications
women have also the intense desire
to do something, and they are nov
set upon proving how much they
could do. Naturally they don't expect
to serve over the firing line; bur
there is variety of ways in which
woman with flying temperament
could mae herself useful
Airplanes could be used for locat-
ing and removing wounded from the
field, and for carrying certain cases
from the clearing stations to hospi-
tals-surely a sphere in which Il
woman would run no risk of becom-
ing unsexed
Englishwomen have no lust for
blood They don't want to kill, put
they do want to help their men. The
wish so fervent that it becomes al

'ehey cannot be excluded from avia-
zion on logical grounds. 1t is no use
putting forward the sentimental argu-
ment, because that is all in their
favor
There is great probability that
women will be needed, and they are
willing. All they ask is to be train

Here is a way in which women can

WOUNDED BOYS WANT

London, August 15-"More home

ly made to the library committee of
the American Red Cross by American
soldiers in hospitals in Great Britain.
The library committee is at pres

more than $4,000 men a month, both
in hospitals and in camps. The com
mittee has its headquarters in a
building at IA Pail East, London,
where it keeps on hand at all times
about 25,000 books and large sup
ply of magazines and newspapers.
The books are either gifts or are
purchased in London. In its pur-
chases, the committee restricts itself
almost entirely to cheap popular edi-
tions, costing from fifteen to thirty
cents volume. Our reason for do
ing this" says a committee report,

glowing tribute to the admirable sea
manship of the American sailors in
the course of an article written for
the Daily Telegraph, in which he dis
closes details of the remarkable part
the American navy took in operations
in European waters. He says the
service of the Americans points to
survival of the sea instinct in Ameri-
Ca Continuing he says: ASK any
British naval officer what he thinks
of the aid given by American seamen
and you will learn that it comes at
moment when the British crews, after
winter of strenuous and exhausting
work, were feeling the strain. Incl

voy system as it could not otherwise

the influence this system had on the

American seamen would be incom-
plete without mention of the skill and
courage they exhibited in laying the
great mine fields in the North sea"

in which the Americans overcome

ASKED
TO PLEAD CAUSE
OF NEW GERMANY
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Wednesday, Dec. 11.-When
it was evident that the end of the war
was near, Germany made a system
attic canvass of French prisoners of
war in an effort to find men who
would plead the case of new Ger
many" in France, according to state
ments made by soldiers who have re-
turned from enemy prison camps.
This work began late in October but
the efforts Of the Germans were re-
doubled early in November it is said.
The French prisoners were told that
the German Socialists wished nothing
more than to live on friendly terms
with their French comrades. Ger
man agents said they wanted to get
in touch with French deputies to an
nounce the complete triumph of So
cialistic ideas in Germany and to con-
vince them of the necessity of clear
ing up difficulties between the two
countries, the prisoners say.
George LeDebour, the German So
cial democratic leader asked a sub
ordinate French officer to impress up
pom his comrades the Importance of
uniting the proletariat of Germany
and France and impressing the
French government with the plea that
the armistice terms be made less
onerous it is said. Later another
French officer is reported to have
been brought before DR.. Eduard
David, one of the German secretaries
of state who received him cordially
and urged that Germany must be fed
and said there was necessity of miti-
eating the terms of the armistice es-

Prussian Guard Cheered by
Throngs on Return to Ber-
lin-Praised by Premier.
Nv Associated Press


COPENHAGEN, Wednesday, Dec.
1.-Berlin's welcome to the Prussian
guard on Tuesday was solemn rather
than triumphant, according to Berlin
advices received here. 1t was gener-
ally observed that the troops marched
under the German national colors and
that the bands played Deutschland
Uber Allies" and not revolutionary
airs.
Brandenburg gate and the streets
through which the soldiers marched
were decorated with evergreens and
flags. The officers and men were
decorated with national rosettes of
flowers and wore their iron crosses.
The soldiers in the procession partici-
pated in the last battle Of the war and
suffered tremendous losses, some de-
tachments being reduced to almost
the vanishing point, it is said. The
ranks, however, were filled with men
from other detachments.
Owing to the fact that no steps to
control traffic had been taken, many
persons were injured when the van
guard of the troops passed through
Brandenburg gate. The throngs for
time completely arrested the parade
and force had to be used to open a
passage for the soldiers.
Welcome by Ebert.
Friedrich Ebert, the premier vel
coined the soldiers. He declared, it is
said, that a new government had been
established in Germany and that the
army would be it's strongest support
In behalf of the troops, sergeant re-
piled to the effect that the watchword
now must be quiet" He said that
the soldiers desired the convening of
the national assembly at the earliest
moment and did not want to be led
away from the secure path of quiet
and order by DR.. Liebknecht or other
dreamers."
Premier Ebert's speech to the sol
diers is reported as follows: Your
deeds and sacrifices are unexampled
No enemy overcame you. Only when
the preponderance of our opponents
in men and material grew ever heavier
did we abandon the struggle.
You endured indescribable suffer
ings. accomplished incompatible
deeds, and gave, year after year.
proofs of your unshakable courage.
You protected the homeland from in
vasion, sheltered your wives. children
and parents from flames and slaughter
and preserved the nations workshops
and fields from devastation.
With deepest emotion the home
land thanks you. You can return with
heads erect. Never have men done
or suffered more than you
