VIATORS IN FRANC III GOOD II 'AngeJ Suggested, Kut Ooes Not Suit Extracts From "Piano News." ii Through the courtesy of Corporal Cummings, of the local detachment of the Military Police, .ve are able to give our readers a few extracts from "Plane News," a paper published by the Air Service of the A. E. F. The lead article in this issue concerns a contest for a prize of one hundred francs to be given the person who suggests the best name for the air men. The article says: Who will name the boys of the Air Service? "Tanks" seems to be accepted as the popular name for the American forces. And jus( so is "Doughboy" the nick name for the intantryinan, and "Red necks" for the artillery. Now how about a name for the air men? Believing that there is need for such a name in the air forces the Plane News is launching a contest through which it is hoped one will be obtained. Hit him! the one who calls us Angels. To our minds it is too sus pestive of peace and at the wrong time. And besides, even if we are ;i graceful lot in our movements and roam around In the air, supported by a nice pair of white wings, we are too much reminded by this name of the pacifist. More suggestions bring out such names as Skylarks, Skypilots, Buzzards or Air Cavaliers. One hundred francs, cold paper, will be paid the person inventing the best name to answer the purpose. The best ten names will be selected by officer judges and published in Plane News to be voted on by the men of the Air Service, and in that way the name receiving the most votes will be offi cially acclaimed our nickname. You see it will be a case of wishing the name on ourselves. The contest closed August 4th, the issue of the paper we have having been printed on July 6th.. It was open to any officer, soldier, Y. M. C. A. or Red Cross worker in Hie A. E. F. Grern and lllack Hat Cords For Air Service Enllnted Men. Following close to the announcement of a new insignia for the Air Service, National Army, comes further an nouncement that a green and black hat cord has been selected for the enlisted men. The wing and propeller insignia to be worn on the collars by oltkvrs and enlisted men is to be cronse colored. ParkuKra ' M Sent From Home. Through misinformation, prubably originated by the press, it was an nounced some time ano that packages can no longer lie sent from relatives and friends to the American Suldiers overseas, even with the written teijuest of the company commanders.. This is not so, according to a'lvices received from headquarters, wliicli says that any soldier may send to the States for needed articles as lung as the return package bears the written statement of his C. (). vouching for his need of the articles. The following is an editorial which occupied the head of the editorial column : Ducking shells, bombs, rifle and machine gun Are, and living in a trench for loriR periods is not the safest, job in the world. Heaving big guns and shells about and "wrestling" artillery horses is not the most pleasant. Uuild ing trenches and railways under lite is also rather trying at times. Oflicers and men in the Air Service should remember that they are not the whole show and that there are other hard things to do in this war lie-tides flying and swinging "props." We are all part of the army. Kagh part must co-operate with the others if the whole is to work effectively. A strong pull together will do a lot more than many separate pulls. One man must give the word to "Pull" if we are to get together. Per fect discipline must be had if the command is to be obeyed properly. Discipline means taking pride in rioimr whatever Job you may have in a smart, prompt, military manner. Little things like neatness, attention to details, a proper bearing and a snappy salute are the hall marks of discinllne and the sign by which a lit and "Heady" soldier is known. German Pronouns.

Lay Off the "Ah, Out" Htuff 'Less You Savy Lingo. The following is given as a story with a kick, a moral and a romance of love and twenty-three-hour passes. By Lynn. Hack In the days of yore before German subs and Hunism, with noth ing to worry over except back board bills and the next election of town councilmen. so-called society of tlie "four hundred" in the small precise communities was a joke and just as absurd as the cynic intimated when lie watched the cows chase the Sundnv school lawn party from the minister's yard. "Doing society" in France has 'em all shoved off the map. Take the case of Pvt. Percy Noodles. He's hend-over-heels in love with a petite mademoiselle who is loco with affection herself. Webster's Interna tional Dictionary has made their love as binding os the signature of a pay roll. Inculently, Percy has answered "Ah, Oui" to so many things he didn't understand, there's no telling what he has promised everything from the family cat to ma-ma. That is only human nature. When a beautiful young thing looks up in your eyes appeaiingly, spells out a bunch , of French with touching ex pression, whether a bird understands it all or not, it is more than right, as a gentleman and a judge of egg omeletts, to say "Ah, Oui" promptly: Percy, poor old Percy, is up salt creek without a paddle. The poor boob has gone and got engaged. Yep, and the old man is grasping the spirit of the East ide Yiddish, following the law as laid down in "Safety First." He's writing American Headquarters to got a line on Percy's spondoulax. Percy isn't really to blame. The boy got lonesome, found an Air Service cook that could parley-voo French lingo and met this charming madem oiselle with the bewitching eyes. He started hoofing it down to see' her two or three nights a week, then four or five and maintained his batting aver age. Neither could speak the other lan guage, with exception of a few words! So she could kid him in French about his pinch-back coat and the way he parted his hair, and he in turn would suggest she try Ivory or Sapollo on her neck. Both enjoyed their own Joke and the affection grew. When ma-ma came In Percy would pull this ah-donttcha-know-dainty-handshake stuff and tell her how to reduce by drinking buttermilk. And ma-ma would flip him gently on the cheek with her fan and tell him not to get too fresh with her darling. They, too, both thought they were passing something by each other. Jumping up to greet the old man, Percy would sling out his hand, slap the old boy on tne shoulder and say "how are you, you old son-of-a-gun ?" The obi man, in turn, would ask in French, why the thunder he didn't bring in some tobacco occasionally if he intended to camp permanently on his sofa. So the plot thickened, everybody kidded each other, and love grew by leaps and bounds and twenty-three-hour passes. Percy was ordered to the front. At a general conference the old folks decided It was time to take action. They laid out a big spread with plenty of chemical refreshments and told Percy to get on the job. Just as Percy laboted earnestly with the drum stick of a turkey the old man arose and, lifting his glass, poured out tribute from the bosom of his heart. Percy "Ah, Oui'd" to everything said. Ma-ma could stand it no longer; she kissed her darling on both cheeks and the darling in turn became flustered and kissed Percy, whereupon the old man came and shook hands with the darling hero of this narration. The cake was cut and the diamond ring pa-pa had given ma-ma thirty years before was placed upon the hand of the beautiful young creature. Percy could see nothing to s'ty but "Ah, O'ul" airaln, when they called for a toast, so he quoted from the famous kitchen sink scene of Shakespeare's Manequln. "Hast 'I'hoj Seen ihe Fair Ophelia Pass This Way " The poor boy has gone to the front. A letter lies before me on the desk from Percy asking that t find out just how and why. or If he is, obligated to anv attachment in this neck of the woods. "Kntherine will be heart broken should she ever hear of it," (fe continues. Yea. verily, lay off the "Ah, Oui" stuff unless you speak fluently. The Alrmnn's Mghtimire. I can see a white hot engine Three inches from my ndse, The petrol tank a blazing bell Just underneath my toes. The wires are snapping around my head, The rudder-bar has jammed, Both wings are cracking horribly. My eyes with oil are crammed. My poor observer's fainted And fallen through the plane, I'm sorry, because I liked him. Life's full of joy and pain. Great scott! one wing has fallen off, The other's badly gashed. The earth's ten thousand feef below. The elevator's smashed. Revolution Indicators Are tearing out my hair. My goggles are waltzing 'round me Humming the "Druid's Prayer." The lubrication oil tank Is forced between my teeth. O why do the pistons chortle Like asthmatical breath. Four propeller blades are fighting The bent induction pipe. The inlet valves they swear aloud, The fabric tastes unripe. The stays are crooning plaintively To soothe the petrol tap. The engine Jumps Its bearers, Bursts, And settles in my lap. I'm falling faster and faster, I do so want to yell, But when I reach the earth again Won't I have lots to toll? A fearful crash! I've hit the ground. I've' fallen out of bed!
