u. S. FLYING CAMP
LARGEST IN WORLD
FIELD OF sc SQUARE MILES WITH
SEPARATE FIELDS

American Aviation Center, Issodoun
France, Correspondence of Associated
Fress) - This American flying camp is
the largest in France and is said to
be greater than any other in the world
A flying field of Sc square mile, the
area of an American township. with
nine separate flying fields on which
American aviators advance to the
stage OF eight combatants, and air
planes-Liberties Nieuports, Capronis
and all the the other with officers,
instructors and newly equipped avia-
tors swelling our squadron each
mcnth--these were some of the main
features of this vast aviation ground.
AS the Associated Press correspon-
dent entered one of the fields a big
grey machine rose from nearby field
with loud droning noise
There goes Liberty airplane,"
said one of the officers. 1t was one
of the fast-increasng number now
coming, and every flight was watched
with keenest interest and growing EN-
thusiasm by those who will put it to
the supreme test on the fighting front.
Only one opinion was heard among
these men that If was the BIGGEST
and fastest machine of them all 1t
was doing wonders in quick ascent,
and besides straight away flight it
had been put through all the intri-
cacies of acrobatic flight and had been
pronounced equal to the whole range
Groups of aviators were lined up as
we arrived, preparatory to taking the
air They were 1.-THE, stocky, young
men, like two football elevens about
to take the field. The flying grounds
stretched off for miles-nine fields of
four square miles each-all clean cut
stubble fields on which the machines
could light without shock Above them
circled countless planes, singly and
in squadrons drawn out like wild geese
looping and diving and in all the evo-
lutions of fight, with groups of ac-
robatic planes over to the right MAX

A SOLDIER SPEAKS

! You are being called to various
kinds of duties arising out of our
gigantic part in the world war and
sometimes you are inclined to slow
up because yon think you have done
your full duty. Listen at the word
of soldier:
"They say, who have come back
from over There, that at night the
troubled earth between the lines is
carpeted with pain They say that
death rides whistling in every wind,
and that the very mists are charged
with awful torment. They say that
of all things spent and squlndered
there, young human life is held least
dear. 1t is not the most pleasant
prospect for those of us who can feel
upon our lips the pressure Of our
mothers goodbye kiss.
But, please God, our love of life
is not so priced as love of right. In
this renaissance of our country's val
or, we who will edge the wedge of
her assault make calm acceptance of
its hazards. For us the steel swept
trench, the sltiffening cold-weari-
ness, hardship, worse. For you, for
whom we go, you millions safe at
home-what for you?
1--WE shall need food. We shall
need care. We shall need clothes
for our bodies ard weapons for our
hands.
eve shall need terribly and al
ways without failure supplies and
equipment in a stream that is con-
slant and never ending From you,
who are our resource and reliance,
who are the heart and hope of that
humanity for which we smite and
strive must come these things"

We went from field to field to note

and there are only only a few of
them left.
Back of the German fighters, "he
said today" is the direct effort OF
every German man, woman and child
at home, all working to win the war
They are giving up everything, even
to the point of suffering to win. Only
by giving until it hurts and invest

you Americans hope to win the vic

Your armies, our armies, cannot
continue to fight without the support
of you folk at home, every one of you
with a son or a brother at the front
must feel that your investment in
Liberty bonds is sending support di-
rectly to him, and those who have no
relatives in the fight should feel all
the more willing to make a financial
sacrifice becaus you are not giving
up your loved ones"

We have not taken much stock in
the cry of food shortage in Germany
and very little more in the talk of
the very low German morale. The
fighting motive of a German is far
different thing from that of the sol
der in our own army and we must
not rely much on the idea that the
Hun is getting tired. He loves war
because it is war and so long as we
can remember that, we will have lit
tie cause to believe there is low

We gave up our best American on

terday on the battle front in France
He was a brave and an efficient man
in the air, and while there will be
hundreds to take his place and as
cheerfully give their lives, it will be
many a day before the enemy finds
another who could create more con
sternation among the German avia-
tors. than David E. Putnam. A mil.
lion Americans envy him that death
and a million more only hope that
somewhere they may be so for
tunate in the service of their country
