Ready to Train Them in All the Arts of War Flying. "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 modern airplane, with its tremendous power housed in a very compact, very light engine, with 'delicate instru A S HE VI LLE BUSINESS DIRECTORY -Use it to Plan Tour Shopping Trip, or for Mail Inauiries.

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.

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."

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.

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."
