WOMEN DOCTORS
 ARE IN BALKANS

l. Nish, Serbia, April 10-(By Mail)- Fourteen American women doctors are now in the Balkans, assisting the American Red Cross in it's work of caring for the sick and destitute. These doctors are from the American Women's Hospital at New York and are located in Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. Six are in Serbia where the Restitution and sickness is great est. Some of the 14 have received decorations or been cited for conspic- uouEs service among the soldiers. and refugees.
 At the first. call of help from Greece, pr. Reyes came to Vodena, near the Greek-Serbian frontier, where she set up a hospital. She was given a handful of medical supplies intended for Syria. The ship which was to supply her hospital never reached Greece. It fell a victim to a German submarine. With the crIp- pied condition of transport through Serbia it was impossible for the American Red Cross to get her the necessary equip llent. She had no op- erating table, no sterilizers, no beds, no stoves, no nothing except her small kit of surgical instruments and a. few pounds of medicine. A carpen- ter built an operating table of old dry-goods cases. pr. Reyes borrowed some iron beds from an abandoned military hospital. Old gasoline cans were made into stoves, stovepipes, dishes, kettles, SteriHzers and every thing needed to aid in an emergency.
 With these nondescript furnishings and with the aid of, Dr. Mabel Flood, of Eirlira, N. Y, and two American nurses, Dr. Reyes 2ipened the first American hospital in Northern Greece.
 When the' French and Serbians be- gan their memorable attack on the Bulgarians, which eliminated in the collapse of Bulgaria, pr. Reyes was asked by the French army authorities to accomparr their troops as regi- mental surgeon. The pluclzy Ameri- can physician served throughout the attack, treating hundreds of wounded officers and soldiers. Her work drew forth the war.nest expressions of praise and thanks from the French

.1O6 AWATORS
 WERE KILLED
 ON 5. s. FIELDS

Fort Worth, Tex, May "A hun dred and six men were killed at the three big government aviation fields here between Nov. IS, 1917, and the recent close of aerial activities, ac- cording to official figures just made public,
 In the same period, the three fields now being closed turned out 1,475 finished aviators, most of whom were sent to the western front. A thous- and commissioned aviators were also sent here from other schools to fin ish their gunnery course at Taliaferro field.
 The statistics made public show that during the training period the actual flying hours at Carruthers field totaled 35,00O, at Barron field 26,- sos, and at Talliaferro field, 3D. 4SS.
 The tail spin and nose dive were responsible for large majority of the accidents, according to officers. Tn the entire training period not a single American cadet was killed on the first solo flight. This is attrib- uted to the thorough instruction in ground work. Three British fiiers were killed on solo flights.
 While the tail spin and nose dive were chief factors in the fatality list, there were many other contributing causes.
 Captain Vernon Castle, the Ameri- can dance interpreter, who had faced death numerous times over the Ger man lines as a British aviator, swerv- ed his machine sharply to avoid hit ting another aviator here. He lack ed height for the manoeuver, crash ed and was killed.
 The young son of General Peyton c. March, chief of staff. was killed at the gunnery field while engaged. in combat practice at a height of D. 900 feet The wings of his machine became entangled with those of his opponents plane.
 Captain Robert Isett, of Providence, pGak adjutant at Barron field, fell from the greatest height. 5000 feet. Two men fell from their planes at great heights because of failure to strap themselves in.

Of Peace river, Alberta, bringing sew

life Of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers. for they well
deserve the name. worked into the
wilderness by way Of Hudson's Hope
and the forks Of the Findlay and
Parsnlp rivers as far as Fort Ora
hame. Their negatives illustrate the
habits Of the ptarmigan, moose, beav-
er. Canadian wild geese and other an
imals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough
ness by means of the camera. The
travellers had devices of various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused; and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera mar
snapped" them by twitching lone
cord attached to the lens shutter A
single negative Of some specially shy
