Air Fleet to Be Revised.
Women Must Tell Ages.
Paris— Aviation is to be developed
by the French government on a vast
scale. The general staff of the army
has come to believe a capital ‘mistake
was made in regarding aeroplanes and
dirigibles merely as useful for scout
ing when in .eality they should be one
o f the most effective o f the offensive
and defensive forces.
The ministry o f war has worked out
a plan to (reorganise the aeronautical
troops.
Reconnoi seance would con
tinue to be important, but a large fleet
o f destroyers would be created.
Portland — On the ground that the
ages of women employed by the city
is an important part o f the historical
records being taken by the Municipal
civil service commission upon which
efficiency o f employes will be gusged,
members of the civil service commis
sion will insist on the women giving
their ages.
Civil Service Commis
sioner Caldwell says that he considers
the use o f the word ’ ‘ legal. ” which haa
been written by a majority o f the
women in the age column of the re
ports, aa entirely unsatisfactory.
