LONDON, Aug 1!4—One of (he inosl
significant features of the aerial
bombing offensive of the British is
the loud response it has elicited frotu
the (German people, say British news
papers.
The bombing of England brough
no complaint, but only renewed reso
lution from the British people; ye
Germany, suffering from the first pre
limlnary pangs of the British attacks
at once began to cry out against it
| and protest upon protest is pouring
! in to the German authorities from the
populace ot tin* different areas at
tacked
Tin's means that the British bomb
j ing offensive Is effective, that far
reaching destruction has been caused
to railway junctions and factories.
' and that the German claims that Brit
! ish raids have accomplished nothing
j serious have been untrue.
Details of the damage caused by
the British raids can easily be sup
j pressed by the German censorship, but
the voice of the German people can
j not permanently be stilled, and it is
j asserted there is abundant photo
j graphic and captured documentary
] evidence that their fears are based
upon real execution done

Climr.Mll'A CITY, Mexico, Aug.
21 Mexican troops arc again being
outfitted with the old style pre-revo
lutionary French uniforms instead of
the khaki uniforms with slouch hats
which have been the undress wear of
the enlisted soldiers since the begin
ning of the Carranza revolution. The
troops of the North are receiving two
kinds of uniform. One Is of a khaki
colored cloth with brass buttons for
wear on the desert marches. The
other is the dark blue uniform, piped
with red. which was generally used
in Mexico during the days of Diaz
The same high-crowned French cap
of blue cloth piped in red is worn
with the two uniforms, hut a covering
of the khaki-colored cloth is issued
! for wearing over the cap when the
; fatigue uniform is worn.
IF WOMEN ARE ANGELS
WHY MAY THEY NOT FLY?
LONDON, Aug. 2-1.— Lots of women
have been told that they are angels,
hut Lnglish women want to make a
step in that direction hv becoming ex
perts at flying
The (lying temperament is a com
bination of "qualities” as likely to
I belong to the female sex as to the
j male, and many women are asking,
"Can we or can we not prove useful
j for air work?"
They are told by mere man that
good eyesight and good nerves are j
cssentiul. Most women have both.
And combined with these qualifica
tions women have also the Intense
desire to do something, and they are
now set upon proving how much they
j could do. Naturally they don't ex
| pect to serve over the tiring line; but
i there is a variety of ways tu which
a woman with a flying temperament
could make herself useful.
Airplanes could he used for locat
ing and removing wounded from the
f eld, and for carrying certain cbbos
from the clearing stations to hos.pl
I >!s—surely a sphere in which a
woman would run no risk of becom
ing unsexed.
Englishwomen have no lust for
blood. They don’t want to kill, but
they do want to help their men. The
wish is so fervent that It becomes
almost an ache. Thus they are al
ready an Integral part of the British
army. They can not he excluded
from aviation on logical grounds. It
is no use putting forward the senti
mental argument, because that is all
it; their favor.
There is a great probability that
women will be needed, ami they are
willing All they ask is to be trained
so that they would bo ready should
the emergency arise
Here is a way in which women can
help their men folks, and to want a
thing badly enough Is to get it
BOVS IN HOSPITALS
WANT HOME PAPERS
Ton l>OW Aug 24.—'"More homo
newspapers" is the appeal continually
made to the library committee of the
American Red Cross by American sol
dlers in hospitals In Croat Britain
The library committee is at present
furnishing reading matter for more
than 15.000 men a month, both in In'
pltals and In camps. The committee
has it-- headquarters in a building at
14 pall Mall East, London, where it
keeps on hand at all times about 25.
000 books and a large supply of mag
azines and newspapers,
The books are either gifts or are
purchased In London. In its purchases
the committee restricts itself almost
entirely to cheap popular editions,
costing from 15 to 30 cents a volume.
“Our reason for doing this." says a j
committee report, “is that we get
most toi,our money in this way. The
hooka jatvltably got hurd usage, and
some'iSUiAu, used in the hospitals,
must be destroyed almost immedi
ately. owing to the dunger of infec
tion. Altogether, the life of those
books is exceedingly short, and cheap
editions, bound in paper or light
Cloth, are undoubtedly the most serv
iceable and economical.
••We have made no attempt to Im
port books from America, because we
realize that at the present time ton
i
V
nage is needed in more essential di
rer! ions," continues the report. "As j
to the class of reading matter se- ;
leeted, we leave it mainly to the de
mands ot the men. and they ask prin
ipally for fiction, and light Ji< tion
at that Where we are supplving
more or less permanent libraries for
hospital stafls or for Xmerican naval
stations, we try to give an all around
tone to the collection of hooks, in
cluding classics, essays, poetry, biog
raphv and scientific works, lmt still
for the greater part fiction
"The magazines and newspapers
must of necessity come from America
It is our experience that this class of
literature gives greater satisfaction to
the men than books. Their cry is
continually for more ot the home
newspapers."
