Strain Of Flying.

Aero-neurosis is the name which
is sometimes given to nervous trou-
bles brought about ny the strain of
flying. 1t has been said that an air.
mans life consists of 'long spells of
intense fear" He has to endure in
tense cold, rain, wind, and fog, the
nerve-racking noise of the engine, the
anti-aircraft fire, and to loop, spin,
dive, or sideslip. apparently out Of
control, to deceive an opponent. An
interesting nerve test has been de-
vised in France for selecting the best
type of airmen for fighting. Around
his chest is pneumograph, in his left
hand trembler, and around two
fingers of his right hand pneumatic
'doigtier." Behind the candidate a
revolver shot is fired or magnesium
flare is set off, and record Of the eff
feet on his nerves Is obtained by means
of stylets writing on blackened re-
volving cylinder.

SOME OBSERVATIONS
Concerning Nothing Very Serious
But Worthy of Thought.

Those Germans who called us
"idiotic Yankees should be per-
fectly satisfied with the crazy man
ner in which our men are proving
their ability to mop up fiat heads.
"My country-may she always
be right :" and you may bet
your life she generally is.
The Kaiser seems to be learning
a little something. In May he
talked of "me und Gott;" in June
of "the Lord and l." in Septem-
Der of Almighty God. "
O, yes, those are great ere
forms" the Germans are introduc-
ing into their government-the
Emperor will abdicate as Emperor,
provided he may become the here
ditary President of German EN-
pire. That's a heluvachange.
About the safest thing for Re
publicans to do at the election is
to "vote 'er, straight"
There will be no danger of a
Republican congress going wrong
on the war or peace propositions
regardless of whom the President
may be-so vote for Republican
congressman and be assured that
the President will have the safest
and best kind of support.

munity. 70 meet their expecta-
tions, we must place clean, compe-
tent men in the positions of trust
and to practice "Safety First :"
we should select those who have
proven their worthiness and abil-
ity.
Every man or woman who has
business to transact through the
Sheriff's office will attest to the
splendid attention received. Tax
payers throughout the county are
unstinted with their praise of the
efficient and economical service
rendered by the present sheriff,
Mr.. "Gus" Skibbie, and have
urged him to present himself as a
candidate for the office of County
Commissioner.
No man is better acquainted
throughout the county than Gus
Skibbie, and his experience well
fits him for the position he now
seeks. He is well poised, has good
sound business judgment, and any
one who knows "Gus" fully
understands that he will insist on
full value for every dollar ex-
pended. 1t is Mr.. Skibbie's s inten-
ton, if elected, to devote his en-
tire time to conscientiously guard
the interests of the tax payers

our Sheriff, and will give a good
account of himself as Commits

If the daring Italians who made their

Joseph Arbaany, Syrian grocer, who
lives with his parents at A3 Washing

get excused from the draft. He
pleaded with the District Board that
his father, aged 100, and his mother,
eighty-fvc, were dependent on his
labor for support, but the appeals
body found that three other brothers
would be able to support the venerable
parents while Joseph battled for de-
mocracy.
I. 7. Flatto, who reported on Ar
baany's case, remarked that "the Ar
baany family breaks all records Of this
board on aged parent cases." And to
this former Attorney General George

the unusual age Of his parents he
thought Arbaany's exemption claim
ought to meet with favor.

Nelu Draft System Reduces
Appeals, Says Wickersham

George w. Wickersham, Of the dis
trict board, told members Of the Medi-
cal Jurisprudence Society last night
at its meeting in the New York Acad-
emy of Medicine, in West Forty-third
Street, that the new draft classifica-
ton system appeared to be reducing
the number Of appeals.
"Of the $4,000 men whom the local
boards certified for service under the
old system" he said, "12,919 filed ap-
peals with the district board The new
classification affects $4,000 young
men in this city, and the present in
dications are that not more than 10000
appeals will be filed.
There are two reasons for this. The
first is that men not assigned to the
first class don't take the trouble to ap-
peal, and the second, that soldiers re-
turning from cantonments on leave
have filled their friends with enthusi-
asm. Men are trying to get into the
army, instead Of trying to keep out"
DR.. Edward F. Hicks, another men,
Der of the district board, said that of
$4,000 men sent to Camp Upton up to
the end of January 1924 were re-
examined, with the result that 3,4O0
were rejected. Thirty-one per cent of
the reflections were due to defective

has had the advice of the entire Gen

We have seen just how far short they
have fallen. The kind of planning we

Senator'S Object
To Substitutes
For War Cabinet
| staff COrreSD0ndence1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE new
reorganization of the General Staff. as
announced by Secretary of War Baker
IN this mornings papers, is not con-
sidered an effective substitute for the
War Cabinet, nor for the Ministry of
Munitions, by Senators who have been
fighting for these two changes in the
war-making machinery.
In discussing the question to-day
Senators who have been criticising what
they called lack of coordination in the
War Department pointed out that,
while each change that has been made
so far by Mr.. Baker has been a dis
tlnct Improvement over the plan which
1T superseded, the real root of the
trouble will not be removed until ac
tual power is conferred on the head
OF the purchasing department by law.
Some Gains Made
There is no doubt that every change
made in the War Department since our
investigation began has been change
for the better" said one prominent
member of the Military Committee to-
day, "and if good men are appointed
under the plan announced this morn
ing | will look for much better results.
Unfortunately, however, the purchas-
ing o1ncerS are Stlll considerable dis
tance down the line from the real seat
of authority, and | am afraid that the
old troubles will manifest themselves
before the new system has been work
ing very long.
The only way to cure the ills from
which the War Department has been
suffering is to create a Ministry of
Munitions, with the head of the de-
partment ranking with the Secretary
of War. Perhaps the same benefits
might be obtained if, instead of MAX

Details of Draft
Agreement With
Britain COMPLETED

only ratification by the Senate and
the signatures of President Wilson and
King George to the agreement between
the British recruiting mission and the
United States draft authorities now
stand in the way Of the speedy release
OF about two hundred thousand British
subjects in this country for war ser
vice. And these are formalities which,
1T is expected, will be disposed of in
the next three weeks.
The machinery for raising the new
levy will be handled by the local boards
here, but it has been decided to fol-
low the lines of the British military
service act, thus making all British
subjects between the ages of twenty
and forty-one liable to the call.
Recruiting missions from France and
Italy are to be dispatched to this coun-
try to reach similar arrangements with
regard to their subjects resident here.
Such were the announcements made
IN this city yesterday by Major
Mitchell 1nnes. K. c., legal adviser to
the British mission, who since his ar
rival here, on November 80, has been
at work with L. H. Woolsey, solicitor
to the State Department, on the details
of the agreement
"A joint resolution will have to be
introduced into Congress-" said Major
limos, "to provide for the Discrepancy
IN ages specified in our military service
act and your selcctive service act But
there will be no difficulty here. Then,
when the convention has been dulv
signed by both the King and President
Wilson registration day for British
subjects here will be appointed.
Under the general registration last
June 12l,1S4 British subjects between
the ages Of twenty-one and thirty-one,
exclusive of declarants, were enrolled;
and we expect that the extension of
the age so as to include men from
twenty up to fortyone will raise the
total to approximately 100000"
These men, Major Innes explained,
will be allowed sixty-day term in
which to enlist in either the British
or Canadian armies.
"1f they fail to take advantage of
this opportunity" he said. "they will
then come under the provisions of the
American draft and be liable for SER
vice in the United States army, pre-
cisely as are your own citizens"
Touching on the difference in the
separation allowance and provision for
dependents set up by the American
and British governments, Major Innes
conceded that the much more generous
appropriations stipulated in this coun-
try might encourage men to wait to
be drafted into the American army
rather than enlist.
"That difficulty, though" he declared.
"they can largely overcome by join
ing the Canadian forces, where the
allowances are far more liberal"
