A VISIT TO THE SQUADRON.

(From Our Special Correspondent.) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY, Nov. 4 I talked to day to some of the 14 American airmen who are now working with the French Armies on the Somme. They arrived at their present quarters about a fortnight ago from the Verdun front. Since May, when the squadron was formed, they have between them accounted for 22 of the enemy's machines, at a total cost to themselves of two killed and three wounded. Five of the 22 have been brought down by, Adjudant Raoul Lufberry, who thus becomes what in French aviation slang is called an as." All the men, one oi whom ranks as an officer and the rest as sous officers, are, of course, volunteers.

Before joining the squadron they have gone through a course in French aviation schools, including one month devoted to fancy flvinz, which an obligatory subject, and they form a part of the French Army, use French machines, and unoer tne oraers ot rrenen officers. Just after I reached their eamn five of their brant nosed Nieunorts started one after the other for the front near Peronne, a journey, mcluding the time of the ascent, of six or seven minutes.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) STOCKHOLM, Nov. 6. It is generally believed here that the Oterman Norwegian conflict is no longer acute, and that the Norwegian reply to the German Note, which was forwarded on Saturday by Hcrr von Ditten, the Norwegian Minister in Berlin, who is returning to his post, will prove satisfactory in view of the fact that the Norwegian submarine prohibition was identical with the Swedish, which was not objected to. and that the Swedish Press emphatically supported it. It is thought that the Lrerman claim may in some way be waived.

This will probably not prevent a continuation of the sinking of shipping, which the German Press acceptance of English trade supervision. As the German pursuit is equally directed against Swedish shipping the real object of the submarine Campaign is supposed to be to diminish tho general tonnage available for Knclish transport durine the war. and to ensure the supremacy of German tonnage after it.

INDIAN REFORM PROPOSALS. SOME "HUMBLE SUGGESTIONS." The memorandum of 19 of the 27 elected of the Imperial Legislatr ached this country by the last Indian mad. he signatories comprise iz nmaus, nve Maho medans, and two Parsees, and nearly one hall Secretary, and complete authority vested in Sir George Perley.

I have reason to believe that the Prime Minister is peculiarly responsible for the reorganization and is resolutely impervious to all considerations save the character of the Canadian service and the reputation of the country. Sir Sam Hughes is affected bv continuous overwork, and the Premier felt that he must be relieved of many of the sponsihilities he has hitherto been carrying. There is. I understand, to be a thorough vestigation of the Canadian medical and hospital services oversea.

nen necessary tno Americans go up higher to get above any enemy who may have the temerity to attack them, but, above or below, they have certainly got the whip hand of the Germans, and are a formidable, if small, addition to the air strength our Allies.

Not the least entertaining part of the Hmdenburg Ludendorff interview a published in the Vienna Neue Frtie Presse is tho description given by the proud correspondent Dr. Goldmann of his visit to Gorman Head quarters.
