CAMP LEWIS, May 17.—“Shoot the
spy when he is caught with the goods,
deport the pro-Germans to the father
land via the submarine zone, and in
tern the pacifists,” was the militant
recommendation made by Rev. Dr. J.
Whitcomb Brougher of Los Angeles
during an address recently to Com
pany B, 316th military police. Dr.
Brougher, who is pastor of the Tem
ple Baptist church in the California
city, was the guest of the military
police, which is composed largely of
Californians.
Dr. Brougher went to the pulpit
from the gridiron, having been a
prominent football player around San
Francisco in the ’90s. He talked to
the men regarding the attitude of the
people of the Pacific coast toward the
war, a subject of interest to every
soldier in the cantonment. The vim
which characterized the speaker
when he was in athletics was not lack
ing in his talk, and he was roundly
applauded time and again.
According to the speaker, who
spends two weeks of every five visit
ing army camps in the West, there
has been a great change in the atti
tude of civilians toward the war. Dr.
Brougher asserted that the spirit
which has long permeated the East
has at last gripped the West, and
everyone realises it is a war to the
finish. He pointed out the various
campaigns to aid and back the sol
diers who go to the front, and assured
the men the utmost could be expected
of those at home.
Dr. Brougher congratulated the men
on the fact that the National army
statistics show that a cleaner army,
morally and physically, never existed.
He touched on the simplified religion
which is coming out of the war, pic
turing the men of the allied armies
putting their faith in God while striv
ing to overthrow the enemies o£ de
mocracy.
The pastor has just received a call
to proceed to France as a lecturer for
the Y. M. C. A., and expects soon to
arrange to leave.

RESTRICTS EXCHANGE
ROME, May 17.—No money can be
sent out of Italy by means of bank
drafts unless the sender can prove
the absolute necessity for so doing
as by the presenting of bills to be
paid. This is particularly true ol
large exchange and may prevent spec
ulation in Italian money. Exchange
rates are also fixed by law weekly,
to prevent artificial fluctuations.
According to Oscar T. Crosby, who
was recently here representing the
United States treasury department in
connection with efforts to assist Italy’s
finances, the real difficulty of not
only Italy, but also England and
France, is that they are in need of
American money to stabilize their ex
change. “What they need is dollars,*’
he said.
By the plan of Minister of the Treas
ury Nitti, so far as concerns the
Americans here who desire to send
money home for any reason, or to any
foreign country, they must fill out
in duplicate a blank form provided
by the bank selling them drafts and
on this blank thoy must give the name
of the person to whom the money is
sent, with the exact reason. Persons
traveling may buy the money of the
country to which they are destined
on presentation of passports or other
papers.
800 CADETS IT
AERIAL SCHOOL
ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 17—With
more than 800 men enrolled, repre
sonting every state in the Union, the
army school of aerial photography
here is nearing the end of its first
term of instruction, and the men whc
have taken the course of intensified
training are anticipating an early as
signment as members of the signal
corps to one of the fighting flying divi
sions abroad.
More than 300 men, for whom ac
commodations could not be found
here, have been sent to Madison bar
racks, Sacket Harbor, N. Y.. for a
period of military training before they
begin their photographic work here.
All of the facilities of a large fac
tory here have been placed at the dis
Posal of Captain C. F. Betz, the school
commandant, and his assistants. O
fleers from the allied armies who h
seen actual service in the flying zone
have been detailed to the school to
instruct those whose task it will be
to operate and maintain the photo
graphic devices of the scouting air
Details of the course of instruction,
naturally, have not been made pub
lic. When the men first arrived at
Rochester and were taken to barracks
the process of enrollment and classi
fication was the same as that at any
army post. The post surgeon passed
on their physical qualifications, vacci
nated them and gave them the cus
tomary paratyphoid inoculations.
Several days of military training
followed, so that men now present the
appearance of trained soldiers. Then
they were taken into the laboratories,
where the latest and most approved
methods of photographic processes
were taught them. They were shown
not only how to operate the cameras
used by the airmen, but also how to
repair them. The graduated student
will know how to develop and print
the negatives he takes.
The assurance is given that tb
training at this school will result In
the graduation of a new type of sol
diers, who will be in great demand in
Plans are formulating to give the
the fighting zone
Plans are formulating to give the
men practical experience aloft. Ar
rangements are being made to have
a detail of army flyers sent to Roch
ester. If they come, hangars will be
built for their use south of the city,
and the photographers will be taken
up with the necessary apparatus to
photograph the country over which
flight is made.
The opportunity to benefit by the
training at the school has been much
sought after. Little difficulty Is ex
pected in obtaining enough recruits
for the next and several more classes
to come.
