American Birdmen's Total
Four Times Distance

Many American fiiers who are to
participate in the great allied air
drive against the Germans have
completed their preliminary course
Of training within the last few
weeks and have entered upon the
real practice OF fighting among the
clouds.
War Department officials yester-
day attributed the numerous fatal
tiles at the aviation training camps
recently to this development in the
air program. The deaths among
the army airmcn are not regarded
as excessive.
The daily flights OF American
aviators are equal to four times the
distance around the earth, the act
ing chief signal officer said in an
official statement last night. He
deplored the recent fatalities. but
said in explanations:
THE percentage OF casualties
among our aviators is very low,
considering the great increase in
the number of men flying each day.

training school are averaging about
LOO hours of flying per day, which
makes a distance of about 10000
miles flown each day. This is equal
to four trips around the earth.
Considering this amount OF fly
ing, the percentage OF fatal acci-
dents is remarkably low"
Many of the accidents have re-
suited from a disregard of orders,
1t was said at the War Department.
Orders have been issued forbiddlng
men who have completed their
training to attempt feats in the air.
Officers in charge of aero camps
report that young American flying
pupils have displayed an irresistible
tendency to attempt all the stunts
known to experienced aviators just
as soon as they are entrusted with

Castles fall was the fifth fatal ac-

and the thirty-first since the field was
established.
OF British Birth.
Vernon Castle was Of British
birth. He was born May 2, 1887, at
Norwich. England. and was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Blythe. The
career Of q civil engineer for which
he was educated. appealed TO him
less than the stage and after a
brief dancing engagement in his
native country he came here in
1907, dropping his last name for
the more convenient stage name Of
Vernon Castle.
His first appearance here was in
THE Girl Left Behind Me-" with
Lew Fields. Two years later Miss
Irene Foote. a dainty girl from New
Rochelle, became his dancing part
ner.
Shortly after their marriage in
1911. the vogue of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vernon Castle as interpreters Of ar
tistry dances spread with the rapid
ity OF a prairie fire.
They hecarna xunr1d
on the crest of a wave of popu-
larlty as the formost expoaents
among the millions who embraced
the delights OF the Terpsichorean
art.
Leaves Broadway.
Shortly over two years ago Vernon
Castle disappeared from Broadway's
lights and rumors were circulated
that domestic difficulties were respon-
sible. Mrs. Castle laughed when they
reached her ears.
why. my boy wants to be flyer,
ike his English pals; that's all there
Is to It," she declared.
He is in San Diego at the flying
school,"
Castle conquered the mysteries of
air movement as readily as he had
taken to the rhythm of dancing.
He reappeared for one night on
Broadway in February, 1916, to dance
with his wife.
The following day he sailed for
England, carrying an American pilots
license. His progress abroad was
rapid. He was decorated for BRAY
cry last year. according to Mrs. Cas-
tie upon her return in March, 1917.
Lieutenant, later Captain, Castle,
went to Camp Borden, Canada, to in
struct embryo Canadian flyers in pill
oting planes. Later be was selected
as an aircraft teacher in the aviation
camp in Texas where he met on un-
timely death.

.INTOXICATION MORE
after PROHIBITION
Judge Mullowny Makes Plea for
Board Of Parole.

There were e,s12 cases OF public
intoxication during 1917, Judge Al
exander Mullowny. OF the local Po-
lice Court, told members OF the
Prisoners Aid Society. at their an
nual meeting held in the home OF
Mrs. w. b. Noble. 1891 N street
northwest last night.
Before drunkenness became an Of
fense in the District Judge Null
lowny said. there were 5000 peri
sons arrested yearly for intoxtca-
tion and later released.
In the FIRST month after the law
became effective in 1913 there were
A7 persons arrested for drunken
ness the Judge maintained: in tse
second month 5S5; the next 941 and
at the end OF the year there had
been S,662.
Establishment OF a board Of parole
in the District and allowing imposi-
ton OF an indeterminate sentence was
strongly urged by Judge Alexander
Mullowny.
From the ease In which crimes are
committed and concealed in large
cities and from the uncertainty Of
their punishment has grown the doc
tTine that the terrors OF severe pen
alties are necessary for their pre-
vention." Judge Mullowny said.
THE fallacy OF this proposition has
been demonstrated in England. II is
a melancholy fact that at one time
in that country there were no less
than 100 offenses declared worthy Of
the penalty OF death. So dreadful a
list instead Of diminishing only in
creased the number OF offenders.
True probation work is not in any
manner synonymous with leniency nor
indiscriminate sentimental sympathy.
1t will be a failure unless discipline
and punitive measures are adopted.
To make It highly successful and
effective the probationer should be
impressed with the fact that he is
on trial; that he Is being disciplined;
that the door OF his home must al
ways be open for investigation he
asserted.

SINGLE BUDGET
PLAN RESTS
WITH WILSON
Representative Sh erley
Tells House Executive
Order Can Create 1t.

President Wilson. not Congress,
Is responsible for the non-existence
of a budget system in the govern
ment. Chairman Sherley OF the
House appropriations committee
said yesterday in opening debate
on the record-making urgent de-
flciency bill.
All that is necessary, he said. for
a budget system is an executive or
der. Explaining why he has not
pressed President Wilson's recon-
mendation for a single appropriat-
ing committee in the House, Sher-
ley said:
Il want TO say one word touching
the recommendations of the Presi-
dent in favor of one appropriating
committee. I have always favored
a concentration OF appropriating
power. but do not consider that
that represents in any degree an
adequate remedy or anything more
than a step toward a budget
Il have not sought to press II be-
cause OF the tremendous task i'm
posed on Congress in connection
with the war.
mo man desires to be chairman
OF the appropriating committee un-
less he can have behind him the
entire membership of the House in
that reform.
He said Congress duty lately had
been reduced to debating such sub
jects as clerks salaries
II would welcome letting cabinet
members on the floor, and I would
do it for two reasons, not only to
give tho officer an opportunity to
present his case in the open. but 1t
would give Congress an opportu-
nifty TO explode o great many false
regulations that have existed in
America for great many years
past"

early in the morning the Aqueduct
bridge was reopened and trafic re-

this would soon be overcome as the

Opposite Georgetown the gorge re-
mAined intact, but the channel through
Little River is sufficient to accommo-
date whatever floating ice is coming
down the river. and the warm wealth
er OF yesterday has had a beneficial
effect upon the situation generally.
Immense blocks OF ice demolished
the piling upon which the Analostsn

building will cave in when the ice
melts.
In view OF this alarming condition.

During the big freshet Of 1889. made
