FEW UNIFORMED MEN
HERE ARE TAKERS
But Many Wear Bogus Rib
bons, Says Provost Guard.

Reports that several hundred takers
IN army uniforms had been arrested by
the local provost guard were character
ICED as exaggeration yesterday by
Major ]. l.. Thompson, commanding Of
ficer OF the organization.
Major Thompson said that occasional
arrests of takers have been made, but
that the great majority of the men
picked up by the provost guard are
arrested for other causes OF seventy
three arrests made for all causes during
the past ten days only four men we're
found to be wearing the uniform with
out authority large number OF ar
rests have been made of soldiers who
were peddling without proper license,
but only n small number OF these were
found to he frauds.
Regarding the matter of unauthorized
decorations Major Thompson said that
no wearer of recognized decoration is
ever questioned unless he has made him
self Objectionable in some other partic-
ular, but that more than a quarter of
the men arrested for other offences are
found to he wearing decorations or rib
bons to which they have no right.
The wearing Of unauthorized cam
paign ribbons. which has grown to be
almost UNIVERSAL among men returning
from overseas, has not received much
attention from the provost guard. Major
Thompson said, because II has beer
busy with more important matters. In
cases where men have been observed
offending in this respect they are not
placed under arrest, but merely required
to remove the ribbon.

EX-FIGHTERS LET :.
INSURANCE LAPSE
Soldiers and Sailors Fail to
See Advantage Of L. S.
Offer.

The various advantageous insurance
policies arranged by the Government for
men being discharged from the army
and navy are going begging.
The fact that an overwhelming per-
centage of men leaving the service are
allowing their war risk insurance to
apse and are spurn'ng the excellent
offers made them through insurance off,
GERS was brought out at n conference
OH the subject held yesterday at the
headquarters Of the Department of the
East on Governors Island.
While the insurance offered the SOL
diers by the Government Is generally 80
per cept. cheaper than what they can
obtain through private company. GER
tain officers explained, most of the men
appear to regard it either with indiffer-
ence or suspicion. Capt. J. s. Holmes.
the department insurance officer, ex-
planned that BY properly advertising the
matter among discharged men the mill
TRY author ties hope to induce many 20
! resume their insurance.
For those who have neglected to make
payments in continuance OF their old
form OF war risk policies the Govern
ment is allowing six months OF grace
who has allowed his insurance to lapse
may therefore take 1t up again by max.
ing all overdue payments, provided he
Is not much more than six months IN
arrears. He may then, at any time
within Ave years from the date Of hi,
discharge, have his war risk Insurance
policy converted into any one OF hv,
forms offered by the Government. These
| forms call for ordinary life insurance
twenty payment life. thirty payment life
twenty year endowment, thirty year en-
dowment. and endowment maturing a
| the age Of 60.
Army officers have found that the fac
! that these policies call for larger pre-
m ums than the old war risk policies
causes many discharged soldiers tC
! ignore them.

CHURCH DAMAGES ASSESSED.
Deliberate Destruction by Germans
in France Reaches High Figures.

A dollars and cents idea of the dam
age deliberately wrought to French
churches by the German armies has
been obtained by the Interchurch Com
mittee for Christian Relief In France
and Belgium. This Is the organization
with headquarters at ESQ Fourth avenue,
which is trying to raise 100000 for
the repair or restoration OF ruled
churches.
The heaviest loss suffered. apparently
was at Rheims. where 100000 Will
scarcely pay for the damage done 10
the Reformed Church. At Nancy the
Reformed Church and the Methodist
Chapel were damaged to the extent Of
$4,000. The Huguenot Church at st.
Quentin was hurt to the extent Of
$4,000. Other figures applying to
Protestant church buildings follow: Har-
glcourt, $4,000; Pommery, $4,000;
Lens. $4,000; .Verdun. $4,000: Turcoing,

URGED FOR PUBLIC

Most Vital AerOnautical Need

Says Director.

Maybe It won't be so very long until

up 10 the sheeptold In Central PARK,
tuck the lady comfortably into one OF
the municipalities flyabouts. take her for
a little Jog over Alabama and back, and
all for the price OF trip to Coney ISL
and.
In case this opening statement sounds
a bit too weird one hastens to set down
that Air Pilots Bureau OF 299 Madison
avenue has plan to install airplanes
as part of the regular equipment Of the
big parks; scheme which would take
care Of the unemployment of a lot of men
that drove fighting or training planes In
the war, still like the flying game and
hate to go back to duller occupations.
II would include the right of the exhib-
itors to charge n fec for taking passen-
gers and part of the fee would go to the
city. The Air Pilots Bureau has put the
proposition up to the commissioners of
parks in this end other cities of the
East.
Harry T.. Tudor. director OF tho bu-
reau. explains the plan thus:
THE time is nearing when every city
government must acquire suitable loca-
tons for air line stations II property
owned by the city does not serve for so
important a purpose, as in the not dis
tant future such institutions will COM
pare favorably with the proximity Of

THE machines we have in view for
this interesting innovation, II favorably
considered. are known as the Bellanca
types and are adaptable-by reason Of
the invention OF a etachable landing
gear. permitting the wheels being re-
placed by pontoons-tor use as public
pack airpanes for either land or water
flying, as exigencies upon occasion may
best permit.
The most vital aeronauticai need of
the moment is municipal enterprise of
this character. as its bearing on the
immediate and prospective situation OF
American aeronautics, and public inter-
est that will enhance progress, are
highly important factors in keeping the
expert retired air service fiier in prac-
tice for the bigger things yet to come.
The plan that We have formed will
permit passenger fees of modest
amount-consistent with the bare cost
of installing machines, their upkeep.
and equitable remuneration OF the pilots.
The last would be governed by the aerial
business resulting, and n representative
percentage of the proceeds could accrue
to the finances Of the respective parks
where the services would be in oper-
alton
