BATTLES IN THE AIR. There will t? a fine exhibition of flying in Savannah on April 17th. This flying circus is in the interest of the Victory Loan Campaign and will not be repeated in this section of the country, so it behooves all who desire to see haw air battles were! fought to come to Savannah and see a battle in the air. In connection with this flying circus, we haye looked up the authorities and find that a regular aviation; company has four master signal elec-j tricians each drawing $121.50 a month, 29 sergeants, first class, each ? - - - At. too! , drawing 551.uu ^ montn, anu oo{ sergeants each drawing $44.00 a; ' month, 12 privates, first class, each,' drawing $33.00 a month, and 24 pri-| vates each drawing $30.00 a month; the total number of men being 150 and their monthly pay is $6,246.00.' This pay is in Addition to their board,' lodging, clothing, medical, dental * . 'and hospital treatment, and their education. v The air service teaches radio mechanics, wireless telephone, and tele-,' graph, airplane mechanics, aero mo-' tor mechanics, propeller and fabric' r making, magneto and instrument re-1 pairing, electric-and acetylene weld-! >' ing, carpentry and cabinet making,' coppersmithing, vulcanizing, photog-j raphy, mechanical draughting, and automobile operating in addition to I flying. All these trades are taughtrj in schools where every man has a chance to practice the theories, so he learns both the best theory and practice in the trade. Only men who have the requisite physical require, ments are taught flying in all it's branches. WHAT MAY BE RETAINED The following information is re' reived from the Amy Recrbiting Station, Savannah, 6a., with the request that we give it publicity: Pursuant to Circular No. 166, War! \ ^ Department, April 2, 1919, Par. 2: UTlt^ fAllnwino arfinloa ft# rlnHlin tt &UC ivuyTTiiij Wi vrww Y* 1 if enlisted men upo? being: discharged and the clothing may be worn by .them thereafteri Olite drab dhirt, woolen serrice coat and ornaments, woolen breeches, shoes, waist belt slicker, underwear, stockings, gas < mask and helmet (for those to whom , they were issued) set of toilet articles (if possessed by soldier at time ' of discharge) barrack bags and scar- , let chevrons. ? Par. 5. The articles enumerated in par. 2. will be kept on hand by | each man furloughed to the Regu lar Army Reserve since April 6, 1^17 . and will be retalnied by him upon his j separation from active service and 3 may be worn ^thereafter, when, worn '' out these articles may be discaided. Par. 6. The act of congress ap. proved February 20, 19J9, provided that any person who served in the United States Army during the present war may wear the uniform after discharge provided that it shall include wearing distinctive mark to be prescribed by the Secretary of War. The red chevron has been prescribed to be worn by discharged enlisted men as a recognition of duties per- | formed in the service of the country. This is now also designated as the distinctive mark required by the before-mentioned act and will be worn by discharged officers and enlisted men alike. This also applies to officer^ who accept commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps, until called . to active duty, when the red chevron will be removed. A chevron will be worn point up mid-way bWtfreen the elbow,* and shouluder on the left sleeve of the coat and overcoat and on the shirt when worn without the coat. It is unlawful under the National Apt for the uniform to be | worn by discharged officers or en- J listed men without this distinctive') mark, and the offender renders him-J| v self liable \ to civil prosecution and j punishment by a fine not exceeding j $300.00 or by imprisonment > now | exceeding six months - or' by both such fine and imprisonment.
