DENTAIi AMBULANCE At the beginning of the war. the dental surgeon, so far as the Allies were concerned, was not officially recognized in Army circles. Indeed, it was not until the Germans marched into Brussels, with a dent al post every ten kilometers, that the Allies appreciated the impor tance of oral hygiene. To-day there are eleven American dental field ambulances in France alone. Men. who were formerly sent home on sick leave, whose only trou ble was their molars, are now kept at the front. Soldiers, to the num ber of a division and a half, have thus been spared to the army. Fur thermore, the surgeons Insist that a wounded man with bad teeth makes a slow recovery. And then, too, army'rations are hard to masticate, so that the man with poor teeth "bolts" his food and loses strength and endurance. In our new Nation al Army there will be a dentist for every 500 men.—Popular Science Monthly for January. German Aviator Tells of Battle in Clouds A remarkable statement appears in the December Wide World Maga zine by a German pilot, Second Class Airman Haspel, whose machine was brought down within the French lines by Adjutant Casale and Ser geant I,egendre, of the French Avi ation Service. Haspel had with him one passenger, Aviator-Lieutenant Schultz, who had been wounded in the arm by the gun of the French man. Haspel's machine crashed into a tree, though he himself es caped injury. After accepting a cordial from his French captors, Haspel said: "After you hit our radiator and wounded my passen ger, Schultz ordered me to descend into the French lines so that his arm might be attended to. I refused, whereupon he said, 'I am your su perior, and formally order you to go down at once. If you do not in stantly obey you will be punished.' I still declined and lieutenant Schultz, mad with anger, and mas tering the pain trom his wounds, got up and begp.n striking me. I avoided the blows ns much as I could without releasing hold of ray commands (control), for it required all my time and attention (o keep the machine in a state of equilibrium for by this time the motor had ceased running. The position was poignant. Here was I holding on with all my might to the levers, in a desperate effort to save our lives, while the lieutenant was hitting me for disobeying his orders. Sudden ly he put his two hands around my neck and attempted to strangle me. This was too much. I released hold of the wheel and the machine began to corkscrew to the earth. I was by far the stronger man of the two, but it was impossible for me to allow the life to be choked out of me, even though in a few minutes we might both be killed. Happily, seeing that we were falling: within the French lines, you had ceased firing, but were closely following us. I could not shake off ScTiultz, so I hit him a vio lent blow under the chin, causing him to stagger back, and In the swirling movement caused by our corkscrew Journey downwards X was able to throw him from me out of the car. I am sorry to have been obliged to kill the lieutenant, but I was carrying out my instructions in such circumstances to endeavor to come down within the German lines." MRS. JOHN* J. liONT.
