MEDTOKD MATL TRTRTTyT!, MEPFOTtD. OTUXiAX. TTTl'RSnAY. MAY fl. 101S PAOVj TTTRETC L OF T AMERICAN SEAPLANE TRAIN ING CAMP, Central Italy, April 20. (Correspondence of the AsocinteJ Press.) Americans in training here to become submarine hunters and const protectors combine hard work and serious study, varied by occa sional trips to a nearby town or, less frequently, to Home. This is the first school in Italy for Uncle Sum's aerial suitors. They nttend lectures, learn French and Italian, pro through nil the lessons up to "solo" flying, when they are al lowed to fly nlone, thence on throuirh ccrel'ul training to the time when they are recommended as fit for officers. Next their names travel over the At lantic to the war department, nnd finally they become officers, anil have their names enrolled anions the fight ers for the United States. "I know of no greater glory than that of being an aviator," said the American ambassador, Thomas Nol scn Page, to some of them at a lunch given in their honor Their camp is located near the banks of one of the volcanic lakes in the mountains north of Home. The winter nnd spring have been mild and the student aviators have been flying almost every day since they came, un der the instruction of Italian instruc tor pilots. They utilize the lake for bathing. On their Saturday afternoon nnd Sunday holidays they ride over to n cathedral town and. set on a big rock nnd they go to church, see the sights, pcnd a little money on restaurant food, possibly put up over nighi at one of the many little hotels that arc linguishing here since the war cut off tourist traffic, and they ride back again Monday morning for the new week's training. Those fortunate enough, to have toothache or teeth in the need of re pair may go to liotne for that pur pose. Uncle Sam not having yet pro vided a dentist exclusively for this camp as he has at the bigger camp for aviators in the south of Italy. As teeth connect with the nerves which arc supposed to regulate the sense of cquilihrum, it wil be understood just bow important commanding officers consider such troubles. Without a proper sense of eiinilihrnm a man can't fly without running the risk of breaking his neck or a Valuable ma chine. Sometimes money becomes a draw back to the Home excursion, in view of the irregularities of pay days. One sharp youth from Missouri overcame this handicap by borrowing French, English or American money from his comrades. In Home he exchanged this for Italian paper money at the rate of eight and one-half lire to the dollar, spent what was necessary to see the sights and returned to the camp with more money than he had Then be started. He repaid his debts at the rate of five lire to the dollar. 1 "The Kaiser, Ileast of IJerlin,' which was screened at the Pane thea ter last night to a capac'ty house was received with greater enthusiasm than "The Ilirth of n Nation." The cheering could be heard for blocks. We have got to wake up and it is left to the motion picture to blae the way and such pictures as "The Kai ser" will do it. We must realize that the best men of our country are go ing over on the other side. That fler many is 1110 per cent more efficient than she was n year ngo. This picture wil encourage millions in this country to become better Americans. Propaganda is needed here some of our people don't even know we are at war. Propaganda of this kind is neces sary to galvanize Americanism. Ev eryone, old nnd young should see this picture before it leaves Medford. The orchestra of eight pieces under the leadership of Mr. Henry llarcke. the. new organist at the Page theater, was pronounced as the greatest ag gregation ever assembled in Medford. Knch scene was correctlv intcrpretcl nnd added greatly to the entertain ment of the evening' DECORATE GRAVES OF FALLEN IN BATTLE PARIS, Si.vy 0. Commemorating Americans who have fallen in battle.

Just ex actly what Is the Idea of coal mine operators and dealers who are so constantly "viewing with alarm" their production of coal and warning the public in hushed tones that there is dire danger of a worse coal famine next winter than in the one just past? The answer is probably: They want all the cars they can get from the railroads, regardless of what happens to governmental needs and to other Indi? .ries. They also want to excite the public so that the price of coal will be forced up by fresh readjustment 'be yond -the maximum already fixed by the fuel administration. In their various publicity endeav ors some of the coal people blame all their troubles upon their not getting enough cars to transport coal. They say the mines should be working at top speed now so as to produce stocks for next winter's needs. Well, fig ures bear them out so far as car shortage is concerned. That is, if they want top production of coal. they lack about 30 per cent the cars they should have. 'But there is another side of tile picture they are not playing up much. It is the matter of actual coal pro duction. Figures for January and February of this year show a de crease as was to be expected when unusual blizzard conditions scaled up tight. Hut March, 1918 was a record month. It not only exceeded both March 1917 and March, 1916, but it was exceeded In total tonnage In those years only by October and November, 1917. Total number of car loads re ported for 104 roads carrying bi tuminous coal was S23.C8G for this March, compared with 79 1,381 in March, 1917. And the total for the first quarter of this year despite Its two bad months exceeds 191 7 'S quarter' by 7000 cars of coal. i To cope with the car problem in the district east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio the railroad admin istrntlon has a car pooling office in Pltjsburg. Tbe manager of this knows oxactly how many cars are allowed him. He gets a daily report showing orders on each railroad line for the following day and distributes his cars pro rata. That is the best he can do under the circumstances. Of course the Ideal condition would be to give each mine 100 per cent car supply so that the mines could work the unfre quently attained 100 per cent capac ity, but even with things as they are the mines are turning out more coal than last year. PETROOR AD, April 10. (Corres pondence of the Associated Press.) The famous patriarchal treasure- house in the Kremlin at Moscow has been looted.
