"British Headquarters in France.
Fro ma staff correspondent of the As
sociated Press, April 28. Via London.
Wholly informal but decidedly in
teresting conversations between Brit
ish and French flying corps officers as
regards the possibility of early Ameri
can participation in this fascinat
ing phase of the war have been going
on behind the lines here.
It is generally agreed that the ser
vice has proved so attractive to the
young men of both England and
France the youth of America will be
drawn toward it.
Already plans are making to in
crease the number of Americans now
flying for France, while all. the mem
bers of the British Royal Flying
Corps are ready to welcome and aid
inthc training of Americans in all
the arts of war flying. It is realized
that he United States Army is not on
a war basis regarding machines, but
It is understood that both the British
and French services are prepared o
furnish them temporarily, just as
these two services. now exchange ma
chines as necessity demands.
America,' of course, is expected to.
throw her organizing and manufac
turing ability into supplying their
own machines to her fliers ,but the

light engine, with 'delicate instru

affair and its -construction is a matter
of months.-
Just now the single seat fighting
scout is the machine of the hour.
Such machines must stand the terrific
strain of fighting tactics rolling,
looping, nose diving, side slipping. It
is no unusual thing nowadays to see
alnlot seemingly fall out of control,
2,000 feet or mjpre, then flattening out
and sailing serenely away. The strain
of this maneuver is tremendous.
The Associated Press - correspond
ent has talked with many British fly
ing officers of distinction and all
agreed, that the only way to train
men for war flying is in actual fight
ing. They frankly say that in this
way many men may be lost, but that
those who survive are worth their
weight in gold and prove brilliant
flight and squadron leaders.
Officers of the British flying corps
say that America must be prepared
to pay such a price; that she must
remember this when the losses be
gin to mount up. She nrust expect,
they say. that out of these losses will
come those who will reflect glory upon
her colors and lend brilliance to the
brightest pages of her history.

FLAT ROCK NEWS.
The commencement exercises of the
Flat Rock graded school were held
from April 19th to 21st inclusive. The
address was given Thursday evening
by Hon. J. C. Pritchard, judge of the
U. S. supreme court. His address
which was humorous instructive; and
deeply interesting was mostly advice !
to parents and teachers on child '
training and community up-building. '
He had a large attentive audience.- j
Friday evening was devoted to the1
primary and intermediate grades andj
to the two contests. The first irradp
pupils presented "Tom Thumb's Wed
ding" in a very interesting and im
pressive manner. After this came the
declamation contests in which William
Slattery won the E. T. Pinckney med-'
al. Next came the minuet vby the in
termediate grades. Following this,
was the recitation contest in which
there was some misunderstanding as
to whether Viola Hollings worth or
Louise Perry won th. medal. It has
been decided to give both of them a
medal. At the time of the contest
the. medal was presented to Viola Hol
lings worth by Mr, S. M. Garren, donor
of the medal. -
On Saturday evening the high school
pupils gave a play entitled, "The Call
of the Flag." The Parent-Teachers
Association secured the orchestra
from Henderson ville to furnish music.
Everyone became patriotic and willing,
to follow the flag. . J
The Parent-Teachers' Association
held a meeting Monday. April 23 "for
the purpose of organizing the girls of
the flower club into two " sections. ;
This was done and each section was
assigned a portion of the school
ground to beautify. They also decid-f
ed to furnish floats for the county
commencement parade. Their efforts
in this respect were not in vain for
through them Flat Rock presented a
good appearance. ' j
The Flat Rock section of the parade
was led by persons on horse back rep
resenting Miss Columbia and Uncle ;
Sam. Next a float decorated in orange :
and black, the school colors, contain- J
ing representative members of the as-;
eociation. Following this was a- float '
decorated in red, white and blue con-.
taming sailor lads with flags. Last
but not least in importance came a
float draped in white with red crosses
scattered here and there containing a
little 'wounded soldier and two, little
red-cross nurses. Next came the line,
of march led by little red cross
nurses.- ...
Although Flat Rock pupils won few
prizes in the contests, we are proud o
the fact that they entered , almost
every contest and that the contestants
presented their pieces well.'

"FARM AND ARM!" IS COLORE!
ROOSEVELT'S SL0GA5,
Tedd's Reception at Chicago Reminder
of Presidential Days; Would Ea
ter Army as Lieutenant.
Ghicago. April 28. "Farm ani
Arm!" With this battle cry, Theodore
Roosevelt entered. Chicago today and
In two stirring speeches urged that
every energy of the entire Nation be
directed . toward making the potential
might of the United States felt in th$
war against Germany, and he de
manded that not an hour be lost in
despatching troops to the trenches.
His first speech was ufade at a lun
cheon at noon; his secorld at a mass
meeting in the immense amphitheater
I at the stock yards.
4 He advocated universal training as
a permanent policy; he advocatei1
conscription, but he pleaded that he
should be allowed to recruit a divi
sion for immediate service with the
allies.
He was roundly applauded when he
urged ihat, during the war, the use
of grain, for the manufacture of al
coholic beverages be prohibited.
- "I want to get Americans into the
trenches of France at the earliest pos
sible moment to show our allies that
we are as ready as they to shed our
blood for the cause of democracy," he
said. ..
"I'd go as a second lieutenant,"
said Colonel Roosevelt. "I'm willing
to go in the train of any competent
officer who maybe selected. To set
the division there is the thing."
On his arrivat: today Mr. Roosevelt
was given a reception reminiscent of
the adys when he was President, un
his progress through the streets from
railway station to hotel he was wel
comed by cheering crowds that
thronged the sidewalks and jammed
the windows; the colonel standing m
his automobile waving his hat.
