'RUTH LAW HOME T0 OFFER HER SERVICES Woman Flier Has Been Studying Aviation in France New York, April 5—After an absence of several months, passed principally in the aviation camps at Camplegne, Villecorblay and Buc, France, Mrs. Charles Oliver, who is better known as Miss Ruth Law, aviatrice, returned to America yesterday with her hus- band on board the steamship Alfonso XII, of the Spanish line. She said, rather ruefully, that she had made but one flight of any consequence. “But it was the speediest flight I ever made in my life,” she added. *It was at the rate of 118 miles an hour, while the fastest I ever made in Amerlet. wag 103.” Miss Law said she also had m. a flight with Paul Moraine, maker of the Moraine-Saulnier asroplanes, fast- ést and most up to date fiying ma- chines in the world. And of the Caudrenne and Peuget machines she was equally enthusiastic. They are not as swift as the Moraine-Saulnier type, she said, but they bl carTy a great deal more. “And particularly the Cludnnna machines,” she said, “now carry a 3« inch gun, which has the recoil cham- bers and is so synchronized with the propeller blades that it can fire its shell through them while they are making 5,000 revolutions a minute, Miss Law brought from France, “Pollu,” a Belgian police dog. He was muzzled and carried on his head a shrapnel helmet, such as dogs, as well as men, are protected with in the trenches. ‘Poilu is a good, nice dog,” said Miss Law, “but just look at his molars and canines,” pointing at the animal’s powerful teeth, as he vawned. “He makes use of them with telling effect when he is ordered to attack.® When Miss Law uttered the word, “‘attack,” Poilu arose hastily from his reposeful position and ,pricking up his ears, looked searchingly, apparently undecided ahout the person whom he ‘was supposed to attack. The report- ers discreetly and quickly stepped be- yond the end of Poilu’s leash, for, even mussled, a dog ‘that was able to display so large a part of its denture was not to be trified with. Asked why she had not made more flights, Miss Law said: “The French- men are pecullar in that respect. They don’t want women to do anything that looks heroic. It's all right for & woman to run a street car or work in a factory; but when it comes to doing something that has a touch of real danger in it, they are too gal- lant, I suppose, to let a woman tackle it.”” She said that she has returned to offer her services to her country, either as aviation instructress or in any other capacity. 31 SHIPS SUNK IN WEEK But 2,281 Vessels of More Than 100 Tons Put in Safely at British Ports.

TROOPS Believes America Will Send Army Across Ocean From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press British Headquarters in France, Via London, April 65.— There is much speculation in the British army as to what assistance, in a military sense, America might ren- der the Allies. Regardless of what theorists may say,. practical fighting men here believe that the United States would want to have represen- tation with the Allied army on this front and would send over a consider- able fighting force within six manths, provided the war lasts that long. One basis for this belief is that both Germany and Great Britain are fight- ing with new armies, Britain because she did not have an army in the Euro- pean sense before the war began, and Germany because her forces are largely made up of classes called to the colors since 1914, a large propor- tion having aonly five months’ train- ing. It is generally figured now that a good soldier can be made within six months. It is thought here that America can easily meet that require- ment. It is also argued in army circles that America might well specialize in such branches as aviation and ma- chine gun detachments. The air- planes would have, however, to come up to a high standard and must make at least 150 miles an hour to take rank with the best English and French machines. One definite thing expected is that America will un- doubtedly increase manifold the hos- pital and medical units which she al- ready voluntarily is rendering. i DELIBERATELY WRECKED West Bound North Carolina Special Sent Into Ditch by Removal of Rail at Nocona.
