PETROGRAD, Aug. 25. — Major ,
General Klado. chief of naval educa
tional institutions, has prepared a
radical plan of naval training reform,
based on the doctrine that the recent
granting of full political rights to
fighting men of both services involves
the infusion of a new spirit into their
education.
The plan provides that the existing
naval academy, school for marines,
marine engineering institute and Se
bastopol naval training corps shall all
be directed from a oentral naval edu
cational institution in this city. Other
marine and naval schools will be
united with the Sabastopol corps into
a single naval school to be situated in
Sebastopol. A radical reform is that,
for these schools, all persons will be
eligible who have had secondary edu
cation. There will be no privileges
nor nobles. Thereby the career of na
val officer will be opened to Russians
of relatively hum bio position and
means.

PARIS, Aug. 2—(By Mail.)—Adju
tant Kdmond Thleffry, a Belgian avi
ator. who has just distinguished him
self by bringing down two German in i
chines in the same combat, has an
other distinction of which today he is
still the sole possessor in the anti’t
aviation world.
In the course of desperate ae:it«
flights Thleffry has himself l>eei
brought down no less than five time
by his adversary, and has figure-1 lr
the German official account of the*.
NVWaV' aviator has •_’SI -
equal number of defeats.
Thieffry's career is one of the a' i
ation romances of the war. With th'
German invasion of Belgium, Thieffrt
was first mobilized as a motorcy b
messenger on the staff of General I.e
man. He was made prisoner, succeed
ing later in escaping into Holland
where he was Interned, but froii
where he again succeeded in eludin;
his guards and making his way in',
the Belgian lines.
In July, 1915, he entered the avia
tion service and for a year and a hal
went through all the more important
raids of the Belgian bombarding
squadrons. By December. 1916, h>
won promotion into a fighting squad
ron and during the first six month,
of 1917 established for himself a re<
*>rd almost without equal. On January

exploit. He was returning from a re

when he suddenly found himself con
fronted with fourteen German nta
chinos. Flying straight into the cen

picked his man and downed him. Pick

than two minutes. With two machine*
taken out of the center of the Gerntai
squadron, a "hole” was created big
enough for Theffry to fly through thei:
barrage, the remaining twelve Ger
mans refusing even to chase him.
The fact that Thieffry has t>eei

FOOD
, *■
CHRISTIANIA, Norawy, All”. 25.
As far as the food problem is con
cerned, Norway has been in a better
•ondition than the other two Scandi
navian countries, and although the
public more than a year ago asked
that it be put on rations of sugar,
flour and potatoes, the government has
not yet found it necessary. At pres
ent everybody can obtain all he needs
if foodstuffs — if he is able to pay
the high prices. The government and
the municipalities are trying to help
by paying a certain part of the ex
cess prices so that the laborer, for
instance, hus been able to buy milk,
bread, fuel, pork and some other ar
ticles of food at prices not much high
?r than under normal circumstances
\s his wages have been rah ed from
10 to 100 per cent In the last three
years, the high cost of living is felt
I'ess by the laborer than by people
A-orklni' on a fixed salarv in the ser
vice of the state or cities. These pub
lic employers have not made the salar
ies follow the increased cost of living.
The result is that it has come to a
crisis for the civil service; young well
fitted men resign their positions for
better places with private employers
and the work In the governmental do
■mrtmonts is crippled.
