A mllltnry man can Immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat. but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing. It is an Interesting feature to be fa miliar with, especially now wbeu so many soldiers are seen all over the country, and anyone who takes the trouble to learn the following list will be rewarded by being able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting any sol dier he happens to see without having to ask questions: A cord of light blue signifies that the wearer belongs to the Infantry; red denotes artillery; yellow, cavalry; buff, quartermaster's corps ; orange and white, signal corps ; red and white, engineers' corps; red and black, ordnance; black and white, field clerk; maroon and white, medi cal corps; black and gold, officers; silver and black, adjutant general's clerk ; green. Instructor home guards, and green and white, home guards. German General Staff. The German general staff Is not the creation of the kaiser. It Is the cre ation of the army, and In Germany the army is the nation. In the old days, when the principality of Bran denburg was becoming the state of Prussia, It was the elector who gov erned with unchecked, autocratic au thority. Even when Brandenburg had become Prussia the kings of Prussia dominated and owned the country as completely as the head of the house dominated the family, or the manu facturer owned his business. The cab inet of the great elector, the tobacco parliament of Frederick William, the Potsdam library of Frederick the Great, these have merged Into the of fices of the general staff. In which Is consecrated the surrender of the state to the army, and of the army to the army chiefs. Such a Relief. ' She pnt down the book with a sigh. "What Is It, darllngr he asked. "Ah, dearest.

The Italian govern ment has just completed the draft ol a aeries of laws covering aerial navi gation. The proposed statute is the resui. of over a year of study by a govern ment commission, and the law as now completed ready to be submitted to the Italian parliament consists of 41 ar ticles. This is the first project of the kind that any government has per fected, and indicates the initiative has perfected, and indicates the initiative Italy expects to tal;e in aerial trans portation following the war. In a general way the new aerial law is similar to those governing sea nav igation. For the present the law is for application in Italy alone, but it is expected to serve later as a basis for similar laws in other European countries and finally as the founda tion for international laws governing aerial navigation, which must inevit ably follow with the development oi this means of transportation. All Are Aeromobiles The new Italian law fixes, first of all, the technical names to be used in designating the more important as pects of aerial navigation. All air craft, whether airplanes or dirigibles. will be known under the general name cf aeromobiles. Aerial ports will be the name applied to the regular places for landing and departing, while rei- uge ports will be the name applied to those landing places where the aerial craft can put in in case of accident. The law provides that regular aer ial ports are to be equipped with verv much the same facilities as are to be found in any great seaport for the landing, unloading, repairing and tak ing on of cargoes. Special articles provide for what an aeromobile must do if it is obliged to land in other than a regular or refuge aerial port. Special provisions govern the zones of altitude in which the tieromobiles must navigate to prevent collisions and other accidents. The proposition to limit the height at which the aeromobiles might navi gate in order to render more easy their surveillance from the ground, wna stricken out, and no limit was placed on the altitude of flight. Must Avoid Forts On the other hand, for reasons of national defense, there is an article HUGE U.S. FORCE E Secretary Baker Say that 1,840,000 Men Have Been Sent Across Atlantic OVER 8,000 LIBERTY MOTORS COMPLETE 234 Airplanes turned Out in Past Week, Is Statement WASHINGTON, Oct 4.

General Pershing is forwarding cou pons bearing the name and address of each member of the expeditionary for ces, to be distributed to the next of kin. These coupons must be attached to standard containers, nine by four by three inches in size, which will be pro vided by local Red Cross chapters up on application. All packages must be mailed before November 16. prohibiting aeromobiles from flying over forts and other military and nav al defenses. The proposed laws would prohibit transportation by aeromobiles of in flammable matter, explosives and oth er kinds of merchandise that might endanger the aircraft and other prop erty in case of accident. Other articles provide that all aero mobiles must be registered in tha na tional registry of aircraft; that each aeromobile must hava a government certificate of its navigability; that there must be officers of recognized competence aboard; and that each air craft must carry certain Official docu ments. . . The proposed code In all probabllitv will be made law at the coming session of parliament
