HEADQUARTERS OF FRANUO
AMERICAN FLYIN'C, CORPS, French
Front, May 20. — (Correspondence of
.the Associated Press.> — American
[aviators in the serviee of France, now
| stationed here1, are subject to ttv- sa'r.*
I discipline as the French soldiers, and
the same promotions and recompenses
! are open to thorn, while their duties
jure In every way as onerous and hsx
i ardoits. The only difference In their
! treat men is an obviou ; deference that
originates in Fren h courteous hospi
jtality. They arc at home everywhere.
_ j When they are in Paris they have
I comfortable accommodations at 15
v Avenue des Champs Elysees, the head
x quarters of the Franeo-American fly
Sjing flotilla, and ore entertained by
:> friends as much ns they can stand.
S! When they were training at Pan they
were housed like good paying tourists
and feasted as much as was good for
them. In their new training camp at
:j; Avord, near Bourges, there is more
business than feasting, hut they are
quite content with the bungalow life
such as appeals to adventurous spirits.
i;i Here in the field at a point that
:j: must reman anonymous, they have a
:j; post of honor; that is to say, a post
where dangers are thick — but where,
<• between flights, they enjoy the com
:j:j forts of home with the luxury of hot
ij: spring baths to which the cohorts of
| Caesar gave the first publicity.
Little advantages of this sort that
_ the Americans enjoy are typical of the
! present feeling of cordiality toward
I the United States in France. Their
| admission to the flying corps was it
self tin exception. France ha- no need
,-if foreign aviators, and the first of
jfers from abroad were refused. Am
ericans are accepted, therefore, pure
! 1 v as a courteous exception to the rule,
linking the places of just so many
j disappointed French applicants.
Another important discrimination In
I favor of the American volunteer is
jthat, if he is found inapt for service
] in the flying corps, his enlistment is
1 cancelled.
i ur: mailing »wu •
can volunteer is not long, for he is
an apt pupil and gets through the
1 eight different classes of instruction
Sin a month's time.
He begins training on a 25 horse
i pow er machine with shortened wings
J! and which cannot rise from the
- ground; he learns the use of the
motor, control of the levers, etc., as
one learns to drive a motor car. Then
he passes to a 35 horse power machine
before trying a straightaway flight in
a machine that is just able to lift it
self from the earth. Next the pupil
begins more serious work with
straight flights in a high power six
cylinder machine that can raise a
hundred feet. Then comes circular
flights around the aerodrome itself.
The pupil begins to take greater
heights and enlarge his circuits on a 50
horse power machine, in the sixth
class, and in the seventh he takes
cross country flights w ith an 80 horse
power motor at a height of 500 yards.
The eighth class is really what may
be called the pupils’ graduating exam
ination. An hour’s flight at 2,000
yards, a cross country triangular
flight with two landings at different
points, returning to the aerodrome
within 48 hours; then three direct
flights to different points and re
turn.
It is only at the front, in actual war
fare, however, that the airman cun
give the finishing touches to his pre
paration aud show whether he is equal
to the supreme test. Here the flights
may be prearranged, but cannot al
ways be carried out according to
schedule. The pilot must be ready
to meet the unexpected and accom
plish tasks with known and unknown
dangers always awaiting him, and
here is where the American’s ready in
itiative and cool-headedness come out
strong.
None of the Americans has account
ed for us many adversaries as Garros,
Gilbert, Pegoud, Guynemer or Na
varre, but their services are none the
less appreciable. Their recompense
and citations in the orders of the day
are not for spectacular perforamnces,
but for "courage,” "coolness,” ^au
dacity,” "presence of mind” and gen
erally "excellent qualities as pilots"

Notice of Term of Court at Cordova,;
Alaska.
The President of the United States of
America, to the Residents of the
Third Division of the Territory of
Alaska, and to All Whom It May
Concern, Greeting:
You, and each and all of you, will
please take notice that by an order of
the court, duly made and entered, a
term of the District Court for the Ter
and efficient regular work In bom-|i
barding expeditions. I
Lieutenant William Thaw, of Pitta-it
hurg, earned his stripes by particular- <
ly good observation work, while the j I
efficiency of Klliott Cowdln, of New: 1
York, has been shown In bombardingi
expeditions In the course of which he i
has accounted for two Herman ma-i
i bines, earning two citations in the
orders of Hie army and two palms on (
the ribbon of his war cross.
Sergeant Norman Prince, of Prides -
I’rossing. Mass., also earned a cita
! I
(on for carrying out bombarding mis
•ions wilh a stubborn disregard for
Merman shrapnel. Corporal Victor
Chapman, of New York ;• Corporal J. S
M. McConnell, of Carthage, N. C.. and
Sergeant Hall, of Halveston, Texas,
have seen less service and had less
action, Imt have shown their skill as
pilots. . |
Corporal Ivltfen Rockwell, of Atlan- j
tn, Ha., was up in ihp hurricane that t
carried away twenty French captivel
balloons, and with a machine that is,
cranky enough in quiet weather. One
gust turned him completely around.
McConnell and Chapman came very
cleverly out of a heavy fire by Her-j
man anti-aircraft guns. Shells hursti
all around McConnell at a high alti-J
tilde, and Chaptnan, separated from j
the rest of the flotilla, with his gaso- \
line almost exhausted, managed to get ]
back to camp with a machine on which
; it is dangerous to lose speed — and j
! consequently serious to get out of
fuel.
“One of the best proofs of the Am
ericans’ good flying," said Captain
II-— , in whose group the Americans
are now operating, “is that they]
•break little wood "—an aviation term!
i meaning damaging machines. !
No accidents worth mentioning have'
happened to them since the beginning!
j of their training.
The hard school of war. which.!
I alone can give the experience neces
j sary to equip men for military avia-;
'tion. is developing pilots here of the
highest order largely for the benefit
i of the Cnited States. The franco-j
1 \n iriv. n i orps will furnish officers
and instructors capable of rapidly con
stituting the flying corps that may one
day be needed in America.
Captain Henry Polis, a Yukon
steamboat captain, died recently of
heart disease at Anacortes, Wash.
