T is a long way from the rock-bound coast of New England to the soit skies of sunny Italy, but the same salt water which washes the one reflects the azure blue of the other —and _wherever salt water rolls the Navy finds its way. In 1918 our naval air service had set up a station at Porto Corsinl, a little Italian town across the Adriatic Sea from the great Austrian fortress and naval base of Pola. It was commanded by our old friend of the Lafayette Escadrille, Willis Haviland, and it is largely from the reports which | he made in the course of duty that the | writer has gleaned the story of the | Navy's Medal of Honor fiyer. The reader will remember that of all of the Army's fighting pilots Lieut. Frank Luke, jr. was the only one who | was awarded the Congressional Medsl | of Honor in recognition of his heroism. The Navy, too, had just one fiyer who story of the reason for this award is one to make the chills run up one’s spine, even in this placid and peaceful world nearly 10 years later.

PARIS, February 1.—Political com- mentators today said that reduction of the troops occupying the Rhineland, but not the evacuation demanded, by Foreign Minister Stresemann in his speech in the Reichstag, might be For- eign Minister Briand's reply. They were impressed by the favorable recep- tion of the speech at Quai D'Orsay, in which Stresemann declared there could be no political accord between France agd Germany while the Rhineland was occupled. Pertinax, in Echo de Paris, crediting his estimate to “persons who are not negligible,” placed the number of troops to be withdrawn at 10,000. This is the figure which has been thought of more or less since the Locarno treaties. Other experts, however, said the re- duction would not amount to more than 5,000 troops. What 1s in Briand's mind will prob- ably be revealed tomorrow, when he in- tends to make an extensive statement on foreign affairs in the Senate.

An hour’s flight across the head of the Adriatic brought the lit- tle squadron above Pola, where they were at once attacked by anti-alrcraft artillery and a swarm of Austrian land planes which largely outnumbered the Americans.
