USE AIR AMBULANCES.
Three Army Planes Carry Patients
Nearly 1000 Miles.

Three Army Air Corps ambulance
planes were in commission during the
past fiscal year and were flown 1855
miles in the transportation of % pa
tients. the War Department has an
nounced. In each case the planes were
used because other transportation
agencies were not available or because
it was considered best for the patients
welfare to utilize air transportation for
comfort and speed.
The ambulance planes had total
flying time of As hours in actual
emergency duty and the time saved in
transporting the 90 patients, as against
the best available ground transporta-
ton time, totaled 800 hours and 40
minutes. The planes were In service
at Kelly Field. Tex; March Field, Calf,
and France Field. Panama Canal Zone.
The ambulance plane was especially
valuable in the Canal Zone. the War

Infantry liaison" and "air transport" I"
two phases of military aviation which
had not reached the stage of full de-
velopment when the war ended, have
been thoroughly tested out and proved
Immensely valuable by the Marine
Corps flyers in Nicaragua in their oper-
ations against the bandit Sandino.
Infantry liaison'' in Nicaragua
means maintaining contact with
ground patrols as they fight their way
through the wilderness country, receiv-
ing daily reports from them and fur-
r1ishing them with medical and otner
emergency supplies, as well as provid-
ing combat support in time OF clashes
with the revolutionists.
"Air transport" in Nicaragua to date
means that more than 100000 pounds
of freight and more than 500 persons
have been carried in the five Fokker
three e-engined monoplanes now on duty,
and all of which we're flown from the
United States. In flights Of two and
three hours. these ships clip of days OF
slow. dangerous travel through the
mountains on bandit-infested trails tnat
are wide enough only to accommodate
a bull cart"
Infantry liaison flights, although gen.
orally combined with reconnaissance
missions, have occupied the greatest
proportion of the flying hours. When
Sandino was driven from his tirai
stronghold on Ell Chipote Mountain and
took to the jungle and brush. Marine
infantrymen plunged in after him. They
have penetrated far into the back
country" where native mules and burros
perish on the trails, wounded men can
not be transported and fire In combat
is opened at an average range OF only
so feet.

ton commanders would have little or nc
knowledge as to the whereabouts. oper-
alton and condition of the Jungle

ate in pairs. Each ship Is equipped
with two machine guns and ordinarily
carries six bombs.
The observers carry field message
books. message drop sticks and message
pickup line. They also carry the mail
reports of the previous days air mis-
sion and any emergency supplies tina
have been requested.
The ground patrols are equipped
with distinguishing panels, pyrotech

If the Little Napoleon Of baseball

opening clash OF a double-header.
The Giants, fighting desperately to
keep in the running, came back with
a 2 to Q win in the nightcsp, but lost
ground in the pennant chase not
withstanding. An easy victory over
the Boston Braves carried the ST.
Louis Cardinals to a full game lead
over the Giants where n half game
had been their advantage before.
Only three games remain on the

well stand until the two ~contenders

Nehf. like Burleigh Grimes ~
Pittsburgh, another Giant alumnus,
delights in tanning his former team
mates and he did just that thing to
perfection, holding them 70 six hits
while the Cubs were touching Karl
Huhbell for nine. Given Il 3 "a 2
lead a early as the fifth, Arthur
