PARACHUTEs FOR FLYERS

England is enforcing rule that
all flyers in the Royal Air Forces
shall carry parachutes of certain
tried types, and 1t is intended to ex-
tend the ruling to English flyers gen.
orally.
This is an eminently wise ruling.
There are many designs OF para
chutes which have proved themselves
trustworthy under tests, and it is as
absurd to set out upon an air voy-
age without some sort Of life-saving
equipment as upon sea voyage
without life-preservers, RATS and
iifeboats.
1t has been said that the Germans
have used parachutes constantly, and
that the number of deaths among
their flyers has been less than among
those Of other nations for that rea-
SON.
II it is true that lives have been
sacrificed which might have been
saved, IL can perhaps be excused by
the hurry of war and lack Of ade-
quate preparation in all war equip
ment. But to continue a like ne
glect into non-war flying is inexcus-
able.
The perfecting and compulsory
use of safety appliances should grow
with the art Of flying itself. The
world has lost too many men to risk
one unnecessarily.

Monsieur Blaisc Diagnc, Deputy

charge of colonial electives, and his
connection with certain order is
sued suggesting discrimination al
gainst American colorcd soldiers.
You considered this, doubtless, an
''essential fact" or you would not
have published it. l secured this
information in November, more than
a month before you arrived ii France
sent it Immediately. and without it
being censored to colorcd newspapers
in the United States and they pub
lished it before my return from

return.
