Scores OF the Air Fighters.

What may be the Authentic COM
piete scores of the airmen in the war
ore found in Aircraft" q new book by
EVAN ]. DAVID. The standing Of the
heroes differs in many respects from
the compilation made about a year
ago by LAURENCE DRIoGs in his "He-
roes of Aviation" but OF course the
armlstice had not come then and be-
sides some official statistics were
lacking. Mr.. DAvID's. book puts
FRANK LUKE second on the list of
the Americans. This is the young
Westerner whose service was brief,
who died in lonely expedition
against German observation balloons
and who is described by Captain
RIcKENBACKER as the greatest air
fighter Of the whole war. OF the
first FIVE in the roll Of American aces
only two, RICKENBAcKER and LANDS,
survived:
Captain L. V. RIcKENBAcKER. ..26
Lieutenant FRANK LUKE, Jr. .....lS
Major RAouL LuFBERY. ...........17
Lieutenant DAVID =. PUTNAM. ...12
Captain REED G. LANpIs. ia
These figures do not agree exactly
with the table of American aces
made public last Saturday by the
American Flying Club, which credits
RIcKENBAcKER with %, LANDS with
10 and Lieutenants VAUGHN and
KINLEY with 13 and IL respectively.
Mr.. DAv1D's book puts VAUGHN and
K1NLEY down for scores Of 10 each.
The great BISHOP is not at the top
of the British list, for he was passed
toward the close of the war by Major
HAMMOCK, who was killed. Major
CoLLIsHAw, who was credited by Mr..
briggs with n victories, has only 20
in the David list. The leading five
Britons were as follows:
Major Z. HAMMOCK. K.............73
Colonel WILLIAM A. BISHOP. ...72
Major RAYMOND CoLLIsHAw.....70
Captain JAMES McCuppEN. ......5s
Captain PHILIP F. FuLLARp. AS
The star of the Allies was RENE
FoNck. His 75 victories give him a
margin of two kills over HAMMOCK,
and his score was approached by no
other French aviator except the ad-
mirable GUYNENER, who was killed
more than a. year before the end of
the war. The best FIVE French fliers
were these:
Lieutenant RENE FoNcR. ..........75
Captain GEORGES GUYNEMER. ...5S
Lieutenant CHARLES NUNGEssER. .43
Lieutenant GEORGES MADoN. .... Al
Lieutenant MAURICE BoYAU. .....S5
If we were to take the German fig
ures at their face RIcHTHoFEN would
have the largest score Of the war,
with five more conquests than FoNcK
had. But 1t was notorious that the
Germaa method of scoring was loose
and a favorite airman was often
credited with a kill when the de-
struction of the enemy plane was only
to be surmised. No French or Amer
lean flier received credit unless his
victory had been seen by an official
observer. RIoHTHoFES was a great
flier, armed with spendid machine,
and his score was undoubtedly large.
The other successful German aviators
stood well below him:
Captain Won RIcHTHoFEN. ......S0

Italian aviators Mr.. DAVID has not

BY United Press.
Vancouver, b. G., Aug 7.-Charles
w. Wood, a New York newspaper
man, is scheduled to sail today on
the Empress Of Russia" on one of
the most remarkable assignments
since Jason set out to find the Gold
EN- Fleece.
"Visit every country on earth and
find out what the people want" This
commission was given Wood by the
Centenary committee Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. 1t may take
him 20 years. It probably will.
Wood was on the Sunday editorial
staff of the New York World when
given his sailing order. Twelve years
ago at 27. he was locomotive fire
man and began his newspaper career.
as cub reporter nthe Syracuse
Journal in 1909. His wartime in
teryiews in the New York World we're
later put together in book THE
Great Change"
Woods first stop on his trip will
be at Shanghai China From there
he win 90 up the Yang Use Kiang
river to interior China His mission
is not merely to write up the mis-
aions, but to interpret the needs Of
each country as expressed by its lead
ers in every walk of life.
81 don't know where I'm going but
I'm on my way is literally true of
Wood He has never been in any for
eign country before and speaks no
language except English He has no
guide, no schedule and no definite or.
ders He is accompanied only by his
wife, who is equally unacquainted with
foreign lands Their immediate desti-
nation, however, is ChengTu in west
ern China, which is about as thor
uughly foreign as a city as any white
folks ever visit. There, rather than
in the cities familiar to American
tourists, Mr.. andMrs Wood will be-
gin to look at the problems OF earth,
as far as it is Manhattanly possible,
through thoroughly Oriental eyes.
81 don't know anything about
China" said Wood, before starting
on his unprecedented journey, "and
| have been doing my best not to
learn anything about it until | getl
there. have heard thar it had 400,
100000 people, and have taken it |
for granted that they all run laun-
dries I suppose l was selected for !
the job because they couldn't think |
of anyone else who would have so |
little to unlearn'
40 you feel confident, he was
asked, that you can actually get the
Chinese way of looking at things |
across to American readers?"
Il don't know" he said 81 don't |
know whether there is any Chinese
way of looking at things Maybe the
Chinese people are human Maybe
they love and hate and aspire like
other human beings. Maybe they have
human differences and human tradi-
tions and human preiudices. It is
possible that they live on the same
planet that Americans have been
customarily inhabiting and that their
problems may turn out to be our
problems, too"
81 am most anxious to learn" he
added what the people Of all these
countries want, and | don't know Of
any better way Of finding out than to
ask them, Most Americans that
have met seem to go on the assump- !
