FEW STUDENT AlRMEN KILLED
Split Lip, Cracked Elbow, Total casu-
aIties in Weeks in Camp.

With the American Army In France,
jan 9.-One split lip and one cracked
elbow is the casualty list for six weeks
at one of the biggest American flying
schools in France.
The old suspicion that embryo fiiers
were killed off like Spartan weaklings
is being relieved by facts from the fly
ing centers.
In six weeks at the school, dozen
machines crashed to the ground. In
every case the fiier pulled himself to-
gether and walked out of the tangle.

Jocks suffered alot,of casualties, and
the prospects looked bright for the

money. So when the battalion was re.
lieved the gamblers lined up. Several
Jocks got their money for emerging
safely, but the ones who clicked it
weren't there to pay. The artillery

way. Those Scotties were bound to
be sure winners, no matter how the
wind blew. So take a tip from me,
never bet with q Scottie, cause you'll
lose money.
SAT inc part Of our trench where
a communication trench Joined the
front line a Tommy had stuck up a
wooden signpost. with three hands or
arms on 1t. One. Of the hands, point
ing to the German lines, read, TO Ber-
lin;' the n pointing down the com.
munication trench read, To Blighty,'
while the other said, Suicide Ditch,
Change Here for S%tretchers.'
Farther down from this guide post
the trench ran through an old orchard.
On the edge of this orchard ouIrr bat
terry had constructed an advanced OBJ,
servation post. The trees screened it
from the enemy airmen and the roof
was turfed. 1t wasn't cushy like ours,
no timber or concrete re-enforceInents,
just walls Of sandbags. From it a
splendid view of the German lines
could be obtained. This post wasn't
exactly safe. It was a hot corner,
shells plunking all around, and the
bullets cutting leaves off the trees.
Many a time when relieving the sig
naler at the phone, i had to crawl on
my belly like a worm to keep from
Ibeing hit.
1T was an observation post sure
enough. That's all the use it was. just
observe all day, but never a message
back for u battery to open up. You
see, at this point Of the line there
were strict orders not to fire a shell,
unless specially ordered to do so from
brigade headquarters. Blime me, If
anyone disobeyed that command, our
general-yes, it was Old Pepper
would have court-martialed the whole
expeditionary force. Nobody went out
of their way to disobey Old Pepper in
those days. because he couldn't be
called a parson; he was more like a
pirate. If at any time the devil should
feel lonely and sigh for a proper mate,
Old Pepper would get the first call.
Facing the Germans wasn't half bad
compared with an interview with that
old frebrand.
IF a company or battalion should
give way a few yards against a SUI
perior force Of Boches, Old Pepper
would send for the commanding off,
Ger. In about half an hour the officer
would come back with his face the
color Of a brick, and in a few hours
what was left of his command would
be holding their original position.
II have seer an officer who wouldn't
say d-n for a thousand quid spend
five minutes with the old boy, and
when he returned the flow of language
from his lips would make a navy
blush for shame.

II came out with the first expedi-

thought we would have the enemy
licked in Jig time, and be able to eat
Christmas dinner at home. Well, SO
far, I have eaten two Christmas din
nefs in the trenches, and am liable to
eat two more, the way things are
pointing. That is, If Fritz don't drop

Blighty. Sometimes I wish I would
get hit, because it's no great picnic

the early days 1t was different. Then
you had to take everything without
reply. In fact, we would get twenty
shells in return for every one we sent
over. Fritz seemed to enjoy It, but
we British didn't; we were the gsuf-
ferers. Just one casualty after an
other. Sometimes whole platoons
would disappear, especially when a
Jack Johnson plunked into their
middle. 1t got so bad that q fellow,
when writing home, wouldn't ask for
any cigarettes to be sent out, because
he was afraid he wouldn't be there to
receive them.
"After the drive to Paris was turned
back, trench warfare started. Our
general grabbed a map, drew a pencil
across it, and said, Dig here.' Then
he went back to his tea, and Tommy
armed himself with a pick and shovel
and started digging. He's been dig
ging ever since.
"Of cours we dug those. trenches al
night, but it was hot work, what with
the rifle and machine-gung fire. The
stretcher bearers worked harder than
the diggers. +
"Those trenches, bloomin' bitches, ]

WOMEN RUN OWN EXCHANGES
Much Expense 10 Attached to Conduct
ing These Praiseworthy Enter
prises In Many Cities.

The general management of ex-
changes is about the same, wherever
situated, says q writer In the Woman's
Home Companion. A room or shop is
provided for the reception and display
Of women's work, with paid saleswom-
en- to conduct the exchange on a bust
ness basis, competent bOokkeepers reg
istering goods received and keeping &C.
curate accounts Of sales and moneys
due to consignOrs.
It is obvious that such an organiza-
ton, even ON a small scale, Is an ex-
pensive undertaking and the items Of
rent, salaries, coal, lights, stationery,
wrappings, telephone and postage COM
prise a formidable expense account,
which should justly be borne by those
who benefit from its maintenance. The
revenues to meet expenses are OBJ
tanned in three ways. First, by small
annual fee Of from 81 to SIS from each
consignor whose work is accepted; Sec
ond, by a stipulated commission OF
from 10 per cent to Is per cent, &C
cording to the size and location Of the
exchange, which is deducted from all
sales; and third, from the dues Of the
board Of managers and their personal
donations.

OPPOSES SUFFRAGE NOW
American Constitutional League
Wants House to Defer Action.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Representa-
tives of the American Constitutional
League, of which Charles S. Fair
childs. secretary Of the treasury dur
ing President Cleveland's admins
tration, is president, today appeared
before the House woman suffrage
committee and urged that action on
the proposed suffrage constitutional
amendment be deferred until after
the war.
Through Everett P: Wheeler. OIL
New York, the league argued that
passage of the amendment by Con-
gress at this time and campaign Ia
ter for its ratification would divert
the attention OF American women
from the necessity Of putting forth
every energy to help win the war.
DR.. Lucien Howe, of Buffalo, a
member of the league and Fellow Of
the Royal Academy of Medicine, ar
gued that women were not qualified
to vote. He also presented statis-
tics tending to show that the high
rate of infant mortality made it nee
essary for the women to keep their
places in the home instead of giving
their attention to politics.
The speakers at today's hearing
are not connected with the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage, but represent, they said. an
organization composed of both SUI
fragists and anti-suffragists, favor
ing action by the individual States.
Anti-suffragists and Woman's Par
ty spokesman will be heard tomor-
row by the committee.
