HAD FOUR AIR SQUADR0NS
ON DECLARATION OF WAR
Great Britain Made Rapid Prog
ress in Meeting Aviation Needs
at the Front.

LONDON, December 10 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press) THE
declaration of war by Great Britain
at midnight, August 5, 1914, found the
Royal Flying Corps with only four
squadrons in being-representing well
under 100 airplanes. Three of these
squadrons went instantly to France.
A new squadron followed these pio-
neers in about ten days time. while a
fifth squadron. modified and sent out
in twenty-four hours, reached the
fighting zone about the middle OF
September.
In those early days of the war, ma
chimes were used simply for strate-
gical reconnaissance. 1t was not I'M
til after the battle of the Aisne. when
settled line warfare was established,
that artillery fire control from the
air and the cruder forms of co-opera-
ton with the infantry were prac-
ticed and developed.
AS late as June. 1915. ordinary RI
fles with shortened barrels were car
ried by British pilots. and hand gren-
AIDES were flung at enemy aviators in
the air.
The development of formation fight
ing and the evolution of aerial gun
merry dates from about this time, when
the machine gun became an essential
part of the equipment of fighting pi-
lots and observers.

HUN AIR, POWER CRIPPLED.
Loss of 1900 Machines to Allies,
Saws Expert,

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 10.-For the
allies to take 1000 airplanes from
Germany. in accordance with the
terms of the armistice, means militarily
Gripping Germany in the air beyond
hope of early recovery. while i'm
mensely adding to the aerial strength
of the allies, says an aviation expert
This is emphasized. he says. by the
fact that in five months Of the heav-
lest air fighting of the war Germany
lost in aerial combat with the British
alone something like 400 machines.
To this total must be added the de-
struction wrought by the French and
American air services
The expert asserts that for several
months before the armistice Ger
many's capacity for producing air
planes was unequal to the task of
replacing her immense losses. This,
he adds. was strikingly illustrated by
the almost complete failure Of her air
arm during the final and most critical
phase of the war.

1900 PUPILS ARE OUT
More Than 200 D. c. Teachers Also
Absent on Account of Colds
or Influenza.

Although no recommendations in
Volving closing of the District public
schools have been made or are i'm
mediately contemplated by District
Health Officer w. c. Fowler, school
officials admitted today that colds
and grip which might develop into
influenza are creating heavy inroads
on the attendance in the schools.
More than $4,000 pupils and 200
teachers were absent from class
rooms yesterday on account Of heavy
colds. grip or influenza
Some of these, of course, are alb
sences of pupils who have not vet
returned to school from the holidays
for no particular reason.
Parents who are afraid Of another
epidemic similar to that which forced
closing OF the schools during October
are In many cases keeping their chill
dren from school, according to school
officials, although their children do
not show signs of the malady.
The absence from school Of so manv
pupils and teachers is causing officials
no small concern. The schools now
are facing a serious problem in max
ing up work lost during the time
when the schools were closed, and
the continued absence from school of
SO many pupils and teachers is fur
Their shortening the time during which
the lost periods may be made up.

DRINK AND BOREDOM.
BY n. ADDINGToN BRUCE.
Copyright, 1912

If you know anybody who habitual-
ly drinks intoxicating liquors and
frequently drinks them to excess. you
may set it down as practically GER
tain that he Is a man who finds life
uncommonly dull. And you will be
pretty safe in assuming that he can
be readily cured of his drink habit If
a way be found to make life inter-
esting and satisfying to him.
This is the conclusion to which ex-
perience is more and more inclining
physicians who have much to do with
the treatment of chronic alcoholism.
They are coming. that is to say, to
regard it as essentially a psychology
ical problem.
Study the habitual 'drinker care
fully, question him as to his mental
states. get him to talk candidly about
himself, and you will no longer doubt
that boredom has most to do with his
drinking.
But why is he SO bored?
Because, consciously or subcon-
sciously, he realizes that he is not
getting as much out of life as he
might, is not making as much of him
self as he should. is drifting rather
than purposefully achieving.
Naturally he feels discontinued. dis
satisfied with himself, weary of things
in general. AS a means of escape
from this burdensome feeling he
turns to drink.
Obviously the thing to do is to help
him find life more attractive. through
guiding him to activities that will
satisfy his instructive craving to ac-
complish something worth while.
If he has been an idler it may be a
question simply of aiding him to Sc
lect some congenial occupation. If
already engaged in work. it may be
that he needs to be reused to greater
interest in that work. or to be aided
to find other work better suited to his
natural aptitudes.
Or perhaps what he needs most of
all is sympathetic encouragement to
work more unselfishly than he has
been doing. 1t is largely because re-
ligion inculcates self-forgetful striv-
ing that the religious appeal often is
most eficacious in the conquest of
alcoholism.
In other words. there actually is
hope for nearly every chronic alco-
holic. provided only that he be indi-
vidually and patiently studied. and
ta"tfuliy led to occupy himself to
better purpose than he has been do
ing.
This is the thing Indispensable A
practical life-interest must be found
for the drunkard. else he will con-
tinue to be bored and will continue to
drink as before.

"Y0U MAY MEET MY SON."
FINDS HIM WOUNDED
Lieut.. Mcdonald Rescues Lieut..
Prosise and Recalls Fathers
Parting Words.

When John L. Prosise of Alexan-
dria county, Va. was saying good
bye, some months ago. to Lieut. John
Walter Mcdonald, bound for over
seas, he told him to make himself
known should he meet his son, Lieut.
Alan Brooke Prosise. He little thought
that it would fall to the lot of Lieut..
Mcdonald to rescue his son, who had
fallen wounded on a battlefield in
France.
The first news of young Prosise's
injuries was received by Mr.. Prosise
in a recent letter from Lieut. McDon-
aid. The latter recalled the fathers
words when they were parting. He
wrote that young Prosise had re-
ceived four severe wounds besides
several less serious. He said quick
medical attention prevented all dam
ger Of the wounds proving fatal.
Lieut.. Prosise graduated from an
officers training camp in April. 1917,
and later was commissioned second
X. 61st Infantry. Before sailing over
seas with his regiment in the spring
of 1918 he was married to Miss Ruth
D. Adam OF Alexandria county.
Young Prosise saw considerable
active service with the French in the
VoSges and was wounded during the
October fighting. It was while lying
unconscious that he was found by his
fathers friend, Lieut.. Mcdonald.
Lieut.. Prosise was born in Wash
ington and in early childhood moved
with his parents to Alexandria coun-
ty, Va He received his primary edu-
cation in that county and was later
graduated from the Mckinley Manual
Training school. He afterward attend
ed George Washington University. and
was manager of the sporting goods
department of w. f. Roberts at the
time he entered the military service.

THE BLUE FLAG.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1912

The other day, says Paul Scott
Mowrer, the Paris newspaper corre-
spondent, there was unfurled over
newspaper office in the Rue de Rivoli
flag of a kind hitherto unknown III
the world.
1t was blue flag, just plain blue,
the color of the sky and Of the sea.
1t was a suggestion of a proper flag
for the federation of the world.
1t was an inspiration, and worthy
of France, the intellectual and inspi-
rational capital state of mankind. 1t
was altogether a happy. poetical. an
artistic and a practical thought
Just blue, with no markings, nor
stars, nor stripes, nor double-eagles,
nor crescents, nor dragons. nor
crosses. nor any such thing Let all
these remain upon the banners OF the
past, and signify by their markings
the more or less provincial passions
that hitherto have fretted the world.
For when that which is perfect Is
come, then that which is in part shall
be done away"
Blue, the color of the sky, recall
ing to US the accent and spirit or the
greatest of Teachers. who came preach
ing to a backward world His daz-
hood, and instructing men to pray the
prayer with an unforgettable idea,
Thy kingdom come on earth as it Is
in the heavens
that no man nor nation can fence in,
that with it's vast distances roars out
forever the song of everlasting unity.
that defies the petty ownership OF
man. and that stands as the perma-
nent symbol of the oneness of earth
and all that therein is
One God. Law. element.
And o.: divine, far-of event
To which the whole creation moves.
Blue. the opposite Of red. Corpora
ton, the opposite of contention. Fed
GRAFTON, the antidote and cure of war
Law, the health Of the world as an
archy is its disease. The friendship

ing into one strong cable wherewith
to bind and confine the hates of the
mad empires of central Europe.
Blue. speaking the Wilderness and
oneness of peoples. the opposite of
socialism and all heated doctrines of
class hate.
Blue, at once the color of infinity, of
unity and of purity.
We want no red flag. for this stains
tho sky of the future with it's i'm
plications of violence and perverted
ideals as fouIly as the black flag stains
the story of the past.
We want no emblems. neither dove
with it's connotations of helplessness,
nor cross with it's recollection of IA
naticism: we want only blue, the blaz-
oning of Almighty God, the heraldry
of imperial night, and the brightness
of the MONDAY.
All greatest things are simplest.
The blue flag is the simplest and
hence the most majestic symbol for
the greatest idea that ever broke like
day over the dark thoughts of men,
the idea of the parliament of man,
the federation of the world.

COLLINS LAUDS GLEASON
Appointment as Manager Makes
White Sox Best Bet for
1919, He Says.

PHILADELPHIA, January Skid
Gleason. manager of the White Sox.
that's the best New Year present I
could think of. Mark it down, that,
in view of the fact that Gleason has
been made chief skipper of the Sox,
would not change places on any
club with any one in the America
League. By this 1 mean to say that
the White Sox look to me as the best
bet for 1919 in the American League"
The man who welcomed Gleason's
appointment as leader of the White
Sox for the coming pennant brush
is none other than Eddie Collins of
Lansdowne, well known marine and
captain and second baseman of the
Chicago club.
Now. I wish to put you right on
Gleason" continued Collins. 81 do
not want to leave the impression that
one man makes a ball club and one
man wins pennant. That's not base
ball-the game which is played and
won or lost by team. When say
that the White Sox will do better
than ever with Gleason at the helm
I mean to convey that harmony of
the Paderewski sort will prevail in
the ranks.
This fellow Gleason-and the fans
know it. too--is one Of the greatest
handlers of men for whom I ever
had the pleasure of working. He's
of the Connie Mack type when il
comes to having the confidence of
his men on the ball field. He knows
base ball from z to A and then
forward. And what places a value on
his knowledge of the game is the
fact that he also knows how to con-
yey his wisdom to others.
Gleason is universally liked by all
on the ball field. He is the ono man
to right the White Sox machine, be-
cause he has the respect of every
body and /. at this minute. can see
our white hose outfit jumping into
the games to win as much for Kid
Gleasons sake as for themselves"
Collins refused to discuss any lack
of harmony that may have prevailed
in the rank Of the White Sox, with
Clarence Rowland at the head of af-
fairs.
