LOFTY STANDARDS UPHELD BY
FLYERS.
There is one branch of the Military
service in which even the Hun has
maintained traditions of warlike chiv-
alry. This is the air service. In the
air the Hun fights fair and ,violates
only one rule. This, however, is an
important one and is the rule that aer-
oplanes shall not be disguised. Each
anust show by a painted sign to what
army it belongs. The Allies' sign is a
red white and blue bullsheye; the
Germans' is a Maltese Cross, When
the Germans began to violate the un-
written law of the air he used to
paint his small Maltese Cross within:
the bulls' -eye, thus keeping up the
semblance of fairness, but this has
been abandoned now, and German fly-
ing men go forth daily in maehines
that can not be distinguished from
those of the French_ or the British by
the gunners. It is only -when they
open fire with their machine gtmg that
their indentity becomes known.. How -
over, apart from this the German air-
man is .said to play the game.
In any other branch of the service
such camolinlage would pass twithout
notice ,and would, indeed, be ,considt
ered quite justifiable. But high stan-
dards are adhered to by the fling
men. They are the very chivalry of
POSITOR

or pilots are brought down by shrap-

Machines seldom come in witholit a

When a flyer is not in the air he has
far more liberty than an officer in
any other branch of the esrvice. He
can rove behind the lines on his own
machine or drive a ear if he desires
to do so: A flyer remains an in-
dividual to a greater extent than an
ordinary army or naval officer, and
this, perhaps, is one of the reasons
that the air service makes such a
streng appeal to so many high-spir-
iteel young men. '

No man is ° drafted into the flying
service. No one ever becomes an avia-
tor by coninursion. All are volunteers,
andebhe tests they must pass are the
/nest' severe that can be idevised, It is
taken for 'granted that*. every soldier
is brave, it is °taken for igranted that
every airman iS without 'fear. But
that is not enough. Daring is alsif:
taken for granted, in -arr:airman, but
to succeed he must be more than
brave and daring, He must have: the
gift of acting instantaneously in the
face of the most appalling danger,
been found' that youngamen have this
and he must aisle act onectly. ' It has
faculty more r generally than their

less and have unlimited daring, but
as a rule he is guided by his sober
second thought te air there is no
time for a second thought It is said
that as -a rule the boy of 19 makes a
,better aviator than the -youth of 22,
and he better egain than the young
man of 25; It is mit to be supposed, ef
course. that as' a man grows older as
an aviator be becomeS Jess effective.
Experience counts here as elsewhere,
if the habit 'of instantaneous thought
and action has been acquired.
Another reason why flyers who
have not re,ached Maturity make as
good flyers as older men is that phy-
sical strength is not required*, nor
powers of endurance. It is not neces-
sary even to have a quick hand. The
aeroplane is e controlled by gentle
todches. Guynemer, the most famous
of the French aces, looked like a girl,
and there are other ggeat flyers
whom a month in the trenches would
utterly break down. In the opinion
of Lt. Bennet A, Molter, an American
who has flowm in the French annY,
and who gives his view's on the sub-
ject to the New York Herald, that the
most trying experience of the aviater
is to fly amid bursting shells. This has
a nerve-racking effect Which" some-
etimes wears goodeenen down some-
thing akin to shell -shock. When a
inands nerves are affected he is of no
further use in the air until he has had
a long rest far from the front.
He contends that -the aviator's lot
is not ,after all ,so dangerous as many
suppose. Flying itself, he contends, is
almost safe. Of course, any mechan-
ism is apt to get out of repair, but if
there are no guns below it is possible
for an injured machine to be safely
landed. Nowadays in the construction
of the planes considerable attention is
paid to a design that iwill help to
break a fall for the pilot, even if the
machine collapses around him. In the
older, type the motor and propeller
were behind the pilot, arid if the ma-
chine crashed to the earth nose first
- the weight behind often fell forward
on the unfortunate aniator, crushing
his life out. The modern machines are
tractors, With the engine and pro-
pellor in front, and when a machine
gets out of hand it is the; engin,e and
propeller that first strike the ground.
Flying at a great height is oftgn safer
than flying a few hundred feet over
the ground, for if a machine becomes
unmanageable, the pilot has more
ime to get it righted. He mentiones
i the case of e pilot who was flying at
17,000 feet, was wounded, fell 10,000
feet, and the rush of air restored
him to consciousness and enabled
him to make a safe landing.

soon sets up inflammation and
festering, and unless Zam-Buk is

Isaacs, a. London merchant. H

College, also Brussels and 1

be, touted, that plans were afoot to

pertain great archbishep, young
Isaac an found the acquisition • of
knowledge "ever irksome," so h
took a short cut to freedom,' and em
barked as a COMMOII sailor oz a sail
ing vessel bound for South America
The name of the ship was the lilai
_Athol. Before he had been very long
at sea, however, the runaway real-
ized that 'Astowing the main slaysail
and cleaning the brasswork were not
such fun as they seemed in fancy." -
In fact it was all very dull, and mono-
tonouss Sotwhen the good ship Blair
Athol docked at Rio de Janeiro,
Rufus took another short-cut and de-
camped. This time he did not suc-
ceed SQ easily. "Contracts is con-
tracts," espeeially amongst seafaring
men, and so - Rufus was diligently
tsought for, Ultimately found, and,
iwilly nilly, obliged to continue his
voyage back to London, by .way of
Calcutta. When he finally arrived
in the Thames he was quite satisfied
that he had indeed had enough of it,
and was glad to accept an offer from
his father to manage- a branch of the
fanilly business at Magdeburg, in
Gerinany.
, But thie was not a success either.
If cleaning ships was bad, despatch-
ing shipments was infinitely worse,
and so, two years later, young Isaacs
was back again in. London and fully
embarked on a career on the stock
exchange. And still, somehow, there
was no success. Indeed there was
very much the reverse. He gained
,great applause as an apeateur ,boxer,
but lokt much- money as a stock
.broker, so he -ultimately left the
House, and, having determined to,
become a lawyer, et ed to - the
Temple, at his dinners, and, in due
time, as one writer has put it,
"stepped breezily out of the cham-
bers of Mr. Lawson Walton into a
peactice that led to £20,000 a year,
a dwelling in th.e Paradise of Park
Lane, and any office that he may
choose to aim at."
Rufus Isaacs Yid at last found
himself, and once he had found him-
self, everything he had ever done be-
gan. to be of use to him. The know-
ledge of men gleaned in the foe'sle Of
the Blair Athol, in the streets of Rio
de Janeiro, on the banks of the Elbe
in Magdeburg, or in the House in the
city of London, often stood him in
good stead, He was quickly recog-
nized as one of the greatest company
lawyers London had ever seen, His
astonishing mastery of intricate fig-
ures and details, together with his
remarkable penetration, caused him
to be ever in demand where some
specially tightly tied knot, involving
large mercantile or financial houses,
bad to be untied. Everything seem-
ed to go down before him, and all
was done with a certain gayety and
cultured good humor which was as
disconcerting to his opponents .as it
was disarming to the jury.
For such a man, Parliament was
inevitable, and so, in due course, in,
the year 1904, he sought the suf-
frages of the famous biscuit city of
Reading on, the banks of the Thames,
and was, in due course, returned,
Thereafter his rise was rapid. The
year 1909 found him SolicitortGen-
eral, the next year Attorney-Gen,eral,
the next a Privy Councillor, the next
a meraber of the Cabinet, the first
tttorney-General ever to be admit -
ed, and the next the Lord Chief
Justice of England. That was in
1-913, nd in 1914 he was raised to
he peerage as Baron Reading. Since
he outbreak of the war his great fin,-
ancial ability --has been placed at the

Aviator Threw Brutal Superior Out
of Machine.
A German air pilot, second-class
named Haspel, had his machine
brought down within the French
lines by Adjutant Casale and Ser-
geant Legendre of the French Avia-
tion Service. Haspel had with him
when starting on the flight one pas-
senger, Aviator -Lieutenant Schultz,
who was later wounded in the arm
by the gun of the Frenchman. Has-
pelis mathine crished into a free,
though he himself escaped injury.
After accepting a cordial from his
French captors, Hasped said: "After
you hit our radiator and wounded my
passenger, Schultz ordered me tg de-
scend. into the Freud) lines so 'that

We have within the past few
weeks had many fresh dieclosures of
the perfidious character of German
diplomacy. It is conceivable that
Germany's delusions as to -her de..
stiny might have impelled hr to an
attempt to doneinate the world, be-
lieving that the world's best welfare
required the authority of the one
nobly superior nation of modern
times. But the student kg history ex-
pects to find some redeeming traces
of a really noble spirit, when
a great race goes forth, to conquer
because it follows ,the star of a high
destiny.- It has taken us several years
to find out how ignoble and devoid of
Emig -respect and honor has been this
latter-day German policy, that has
• substituted schemes and plots and
• intrigues for .the diplomack that
would benefit a highdsouled and ma,s-
tertal nation. The Russian Revolution
came as the reaction from an intri-
guing German diploraacy that center-
ed about the Empress and the trait-
ors at the Czar's eourt. It would be
an agreeable relief to find s ff?A-
