AT AN AMERICAN AVIATION CENTER IN FRANCE, March 19.— Some of our pilets relieve thefr minds of any after-war expectations and plans by quietly resigning them- selves to death on the field of honor, sdying frankly they do not expect to return home. There are some who feel confident they will be doing duty at the front as long as the war may continue and some day return to America. Among these is a veteran automobile and airplane pioneer, who, because of his experience and skill, was commissioned as a flying officer, although he is 32 years of age. This man, who is the oldest pilot in the service, has been flying and driving racing cars so long in safety that he is confident he will outlive the war. He has already obtained the agency for a certain make of air- plane, which he believes will be as readily marketaBle in America after the war as automobiles were at the beginning of their popularity.

When Chairman Sverdlov opened the cénvention he read Mr. Wilson’s message first and then the Soviet’'s reply which had been drafted at a caucus of the Bolshevik faction. The delegates of the right made up of social revolutionaries or moderates, and composing one-third of the whole assembly, cheered wildly when the President’s message was read, but hissed and catcalled the Soviet’s reply, and demanded a ro!]l call.

Many thoussnds of the middle west’s democratic army, the drafted ; ' men from Camp Funston, have moved toweard the ultimate goal—the trenches and dugouts of France.

The exact number of drafted men who entrained some days ago for its | trip overseas cannot be published, nor their route to the port of embarkation, | the name of the port, nor even can it be told whether they are yet within | the United States, on the ocean or landed in France.

The departing men have been, or will be, jotned to an- other division more fully prepared, the number of which is withheld for evident reasons, filling it to capacity. In such a way will the eighty-ninth division be re-filled when the oppor- tunity for overseas duty comes tothe men who are left behimd. Have Been Well Trained. Since these men left their homes, in Missouri, their farms in Kansas and every other portion of the Mid- die Western seven states, they have spent their time well.
