DEAF KIMS MAKE A: EXPERT AVIATORS

Just As Daring and They Are Not Bothered By Noise of the Motor.

f- I j* NEW IORK, Aug. 23.—The United I States aviation service has been makI ing tests with deaf mutes to determine J.their fitness for service as military -a\ iators, with the result that they have proved not only as apt and daring as n who have speech and hearing, hut I in "jfiaay ways superior to the normal I man. », I It is not considered remote that large numbers of deaf mutes who have had I technical educations in the many instiI Motions for them throughout the country soon will swell the numbers of young men who prefer the most dangerous military vocation,

Announcement of the specessful ex*i] periments was made recently by ofilj tic^rs of the New York Institute for the fit

instruction of the deaf. The tests were made in secret with young men from that institution at the aviation field at Mineola, L., I., and were conducted thoroughly for several weeks.

The most remarkable thing about the eTrperin,' nts was th? apparent suiperiority of tlje young n over the average aviation candidate. It long hag h^en an admitted scientific fact that the loss of one sense' makes for more acuteness of the remaining senses. The tests showed that the deaf mutes were lesg disturbed by the sensations of Hying and appeared to be more serene and ready for emergencies than the usual student of aeronautics. The noise df the engine or of the aerial guns, «:f course. werf unheard by hirrt, but even .'he vibration, which Is such an annoyance to the aviator, seemed to have less effWt.

Careful tests were made at Mlneola on eight pupils. All ranged in age from twenty-five to thirty years. They were taken up as observers one at a time. To test their sense of direction—an important matter in aviation—they were blindfolded and told to* indicate the movement of the airplane. As the aviator would make a change of direction he would-tap his passenger on the shoulder. With hardly an error the deaf mute would move his hand in the direction the airplane had swung. The young men received written instructions before they ascended and in all cases carried them out systematically and without any agitation. The tests were made at the elevation of 1,800 feet and lasted twenty minutes.

The young men at the institute are overjoyed at the result and every one is eager to enter service. There are about. 100 of military age at the institute. The boys and girls have been knitting for the army'and navy and the institution band has been playing frequently in benefit war work. Institutions for the deaf and dumb have perfected vocational training until the graduates are sought in many industries. The scheme of employing them in the air is said to havo originated [^•with Ignatius Bjorlee, until recently an instructor at the institution.

His host replied that the portrait had just beeVi bequeathed to him, and added: "It is the portrait of one of Nelson's admirals, an ancestor or ours.** "Was he, indeed?" commented the connoisseur. "A month ago he was within $125 of becoming one of mine."

Germans Leave Own Dead Unbaried For Months on War Field

WAR CORRESPONDENTS' HEADQUARTERS, Aug. 23.—On my way back from my visit to the front held by the British fourth army, I crossed the high plateau between Luce and the hopelessly ruined town of ViliersBrettoneux, the scene last March of one of the finest Australian exploits. Upon that terrible and devastated field of battle I found German dead 6till lying -"Unburied after many months, their uniforms hanging loose upon their shriveled forms, cables Henry Nevinson, New York Times correspondent.

As the enemy was In occupation of this district until last week, his neglect of burial seems callous. In most cases British burying parties work with beneficent speed.

Know Not Why We"Fight

NEW YORK Aug. 23.—Soldiers of the German army are still ignorant of the causes which led America to enter the war, according to J. J. McGraW, member of the supreme board of directors of the Knights of Columbus, who has just returned from a two months' tour of the fighting front in France.

Mr. McGraw declared that when he told one German officer who was a prisoner, of the outrages which drew America into the war, the officer said he had not heard of them, and added •'We are being tricked."

Describing a visit to a prison camp, Mr. McGraw said the German prisoners ranged in age from 17 to 49, and had a "dog tired, hopeless expression." "The men I saw have been licked, properly and well," Mr. McGraw added.

Mr. McGraw brought back messages to Col. Roosevelt from his wounded sons, Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Captain Archie Roosevelt, whom he saw in Paris hospitals.

DICK HEBB IN TOWN.

Say# Bill Thompson Will Finish Last in Senatorial Primary. Richard Hebb, formerly of the Tribune staff, now one of the advertising managers for the Swift Co., packers, was here Friday to se^ his father,

"That when the United States is at Q^orse h. Hebb, who has been ill with war whoever, with intent to injure, appendicitis at his home on North interfere with or obstruct the United pjfth street.

States or any associate nation in pre paring or carrying on the war, or whoever, with reason to believe that bis act may injure, interfere with or obstruct the United States or any associate nation in preparing for or carrying on the war shall willfully make or cause to be made in a dofectlve manner or attempt to make or cause to be made in a defective manner any war material as herein defined or any tool, implement, machine, utensil or receptacle used or employed In making, producing, manufacturing or repairing any such war material as herein defined shall upon conviction thereof be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than thirty years, or both.'*

"Dick" has an office in the stock yards headquarters of the company, and has an office force of fifty under his direction.

Of the senatorial primaries fn Illinois which are attracting such wide attention, he says Mayor Bill Thompson. of Chicago, will run last In a field of four candidates. He says Thompson has openly coddled the pro-German votes, and Hebb says as it now appears, but few Germans will vote for him, as most of them are loyal citizens,

STadere Kennedy's next Picture will be mado from "A Perfect Ladv." the from a bad fall at the expense of play in which Rose Stahi slaved the broken leit wrist.

Hebb say« the way the packers have met the demands for the army has been wonderful. He says if they would blow their own horn more there would be less criticism them as "profiteers."

Accor-HIn* to Kvldrnce.

Mrs. Bilson (sentimentally)—It's love that makes the world go 'round. Mr. Bilsoa (a lawyer)—No wonder it gets dizzy.

WE'RE GOING BACK

BY WILL FEHHELIk

You're read of deeds o£ valor at the front

Where men have given (round—or stood the brunt, You've heard of, thrilling exploits in the air And many things accomplished, over there You've throned your heroes high— within your mind And crowned each one with laurels, of a kind. Yet in your treasure-house is stored The crowning wreath of gold and silver sword With which your superhero to adorn When once—among them all—a peer Is born.

I also make confession that I, too. Have searched the glowing records through and through I've quite a list of those who died that we Might live and eat the fruits of liberty. My list are those of Arras and Champagne, Of Seicheprey, at Ypres and the Aisne, And, noble though ft be and clothed in

wondered if. In

Jnly the fifteenth dawned in northern France. The German guns announced a new advance. A vicious thrust was made in force at

Where Ludendorff had reckoned on a flaw—

The flimsy link of all that iron chain From Ypres to the trenches of Lorraine His Riant guns were centered on the spot And dropped a rain of shrapnel, sizzling hot Before, above, behind the allied trench Where Yankees hinged the British and the French.

Now comes an order from the high command. Not clearly understood in Yankee-land, The German fire is growing more intense. Fall slowly back to lines of new defense. With puzzled frown the boys In brown obeyed And yielded, when the first attack was made. But slowly and grudgingly they went With shame at heart and growls of discontent. The leader gravely eyed his Jagging men As to the north he turned his gaze again. Then to a waiting aide be sharply whirled And spoke a message—heard around the world. My compliments to G. H. Q. convey And say the ranks of brown will meet the gray. The flag's at stake. A cause Is all but lost. Why should we yield and answer for the cost? America sent men to France to fight. To win the cause for freedom and the rlRht. The Has is here with men to hold it high. It mandate Is "To conquer or to die." Then, squarely turning to the Hun attack He snapped the words: "Bout face.

We're going back."

From out that scene of tragedy and strife My superhero blossomed into life. No crown of sold, no panoply of power, No blare of trumpets, pomp, nor wreath, nor flower, A quiet, sun-browned man from oversea— Firm-lipped beneath the banner of the free. Clear-eyed, clefin-cut—alike In thought and frame He bared his breast between his flag and shame. A venReance—sweeping onward in its mipht. He leads his husky "doughboys" In the fifhit.

And back they went through rain of bitinp steel. In Veils of poison mist they halt and kneel To whip their barking Maxims into line To hew a path of glory to the Rhine. Those briefly spoken words "We're going back," Supplies the spirit which the others lack. Like water to the wheel, the wheel to mill, The whole line answered to the thrill. We're Koing back, thus spake a Yankee son, "And so are we," replied the fleeing

Hun.
