WASHINGTON - Mai. Gen.
Henry H. Arnold. chief Of the
army air forces. Wednesday dis
closed lowered flying time require
ments for fliers to Qualify as pilots
of heavy bombers.
Arnold said that this action, to-
gether with the projected estab-
lishment of four more advanced
training schools, would assure
enough pilots to match the 500
bomber-a-month production goal
expected in late 1912 or early 1913.
Old regulations required pilots
Of four-engined bombers to have
1000 hours OF flying time and
10 years experience.
The new regulations require a
four-engined bomber pilot to have
a minimum Of $50 hours as mill
tary flier. with at least two years
Of active duty.
AS an alternative, pilots with a
minimum of 500 hours of military
flying and IL years of continu-
Gus duty-12 months OF which
have been spent with mult-en-
gined bombers-alsoa are eligible.
Two-engined bomber pilots must
have at least 800 flying hours in
military craft.

BERLIN - The German high
command claimed today that the
Red armies now are in general re-
treat along the entire 1,s00-mile
front, their power Of resistance ap-
parently broken by terrific losses
estimated by the German press at
upwards Of 500 900 men.
The picture given by the Ger
man high command was Of Soviet
armies desperately falling back I'M
der the hsmmering blows Of luft-
waite and panzer attacks against
which they no longer were able TO
make q stand.
The communique did not,
however. make specific claims
of advances at any particular
points along the tremendous
front and there was no esti-
mate of progress In the three
big Nazi drives - through the
Baltic region toward Lenin-
grad. along the Minsk-to-Mos-
COW highway and into the
Ukraine towards kiey.
Only mention Of a locality in
the communique was a disclosure
that German and Rumanian troops,
driving from Mo- davis, had
smashed across the Pruth river in
a drive toward the Dniester. The
point at which the crossing was
effected. however. was not given.
The German press, echoing indi-
cations OF the high command,
claimed that Russia had suffered
its greatest catastrophe in the de-
feat at Bislystok in which II was
claimed 1900 Russian troops
have surrendered and hundreds Of
thousands were killed and wounded.

Some Remarks On Violence

and reptiles fight amongst them
selves without benefit of mind.
In civilized countries individ-
ual opponents of violence are
as rule criminals. Law was
invented to govern without VIC
lence; to bring order so that men
would not have to go armed and
always on guard. Thus to have
time for work and play, those
individuals who insisted on a
life now known as habitual
criminality would be taken care
of by the government, according
to laws of the land. This was for
the deliberate criminal even to-
day the law and it's enforcement
is weak where crimes of the
moment flare up. That is where
civilization comes in, or should.
The civilized man or woman
who, in a moment of anger,
commits a serious crime, has let
drop the mantle of civilization
and stands but q little above
prehistoric ancestors who living
when they did were of necessity
creatures of violence.
True enough we as people are
not far from the caveman, this
is true of all human races. But
having climbed a little way to
the light why should we go back
to the former benighted status
whenever anger makes us care
less? This is especially regret
able when one thinks that there
are ways of working off anger
more BETTING civilization and
to no ones harm.
Avoiding violence is not a
mark OF cowardice but is one
very good sign of civilization.
