HEROES
Says Fliers Should Be
Awarded D. 5. M.
Immediately.

Advocating the Distinguished Ser
vice Medal for Commander John
Rodgers and the entire crew of the
Pho No. /. Colonel William Mitchell,
Eighth Corps Area air service officer,
was loud in his praise of their achieve
ment which he described as worthy
of our highest type of American man.
hood"
Colonel Mitchells statement fol-
lows:
Commander Rodgers and the crew
of the airplane should be decorated
Immediately with the Distinguished
Service Medal for their wonderful feat
in saving themselves from almost sure
destruction in the Pacific. Their ten
acity, good judgment and supreme
physical endurance are worthy of our
highest type of American manhood.
HIGH MORTALITY.
The loss of life at the present time
among flying men is appalling. About
40 per cent of all the deaths in the
commissioned personnel of the whole
army every year are suffered by the
flying men. There are about $50 fly
ing men in the army, out Of total Of
about 1850 officers.
In connection with long distance
flying, it is interesting TO note that
there are two airplanes in this coun-
try about to be finished, of proven
type, that are able to go about $500
miles in the air without taking on
fuel.
Why would it not be a good idea to
fly with these overland from New
York to Picking, stopping once at
Nome for fuel and then going on to
that great center of population in the
Asiatic continent, with total elapsed
time from New York of from go to so
hours, where now by steamship and
railroad it takes four or five weeks ?
GREAT SAVING.
Think of the saving on commercial
paper and bank exchange that would
accrue from service of this kind
think of the advantage TO business and
the benefit to civilization. With a SER
vice of this kind, it would not be neces-
sary to take diphtheria serum from
the south coast of Alaska by dog team
to Nome, occupying weeks of time,
| freezing the serum and not only get
ting it there late, but getting there in
a useless condition, when it could be
sent from New York in comparatively
| few hours.
These are just a few of the things
| for people to think about.
