Dallas, Texas. March l7.-The old
adage that burnt child breads

young aviators in Texas in training
csmps.
Despite the number OF men killed
or injured In Texas aviation training
helds. the several thousand student
Ayiators In Texas have never lost
Gheir nerve" nor has q single one
indicated that he would rather de-
sert the aerial war game and fight on
terra hrma.
In fact. several who have tumbled
from dizzy heights. while flying and
suffered injuries varying from a
broken neck to the loss Of q dozen
teeth. are counting the days when
they will be discharged from base
hospital and be permitted to resume
flying.
Several weeks ago Frank Forbes,
OF New York, tumbled $50 feet while
steering one Of the big flyers at the
American aviation camp near Fort
Worth. When they dug him out of
the wreckage he was more dead than
alive. He was hurried to the hospi-
tai and surgeons said that his neck
had been broken-he might live and
he might not. But Forbes disagreed
with the surgeon.
I'm good for a lot more flying"
he told his nurse after the doctor
left him.

Now 1t 10 stated that he will be en-
tirely recovered In q few weeks and
he expects to resume practice flights
and win his commission aa a flyer.
Eric Biddle. of Philadelphia, tried
to join the American flyers, but was
rejected ON account Of his eyes. Then
he tried the Royal Flying Corps and
was accepted By the Canadian ON
ssrs. When the Canadian training
camp was moved from Toronto to
1verman Field at Fort Worth he

ninor falls near Toronto. but his in

ago he tried = nose spin while about

his planes in time to turn the ma

going to. The spinning nose dive is
not SO dangerous II you start it well
above the ground. It takes only a
moment to right the machine. But
when you are diving downward
there is great pull on the lever and
you have to use all your strength to
get It back"
Biddle comes of the famous Bid

aires. There are FIVE sons in the
service. Young Peyton March, who
was killed at Fort Worth a couple Of
weeks ago. and Biddle were close
friends and while March's death
shocked Biddle II did not lessen his
dissemination to become a flyer.

BRITISH SUSPECT
SURPRISE COMING
Omitted Press Leased Wire.


LONDON. March 23.-Lack of
German innovations in strategy
and weapons in their offensive
renders the British extremely eau
tious.
They still believe the enemy
may try a surprise-perhaps an
attack to the north against the
channel ports of Dunkirk and
Calais) when the British re-
serves are diverted against the
present center of the German ad-
vance in the Cambria sector.
1t is pointed out that the Ger
mans are trying to regain posi-
tons which they once held them
selves-regaining each foot at in
finitely greater cost than the ad-
vance is worth-unless they sue
coed in smashing thru.
Col. Repington, military expert
of the Morning Post, warns Of the
possibility of a grand fleet action
in conjunction with the offensive.
The German war office official
statement last night reported the
capture of 10000 British prison
ers and 200 guns.
