WARSAW April 7. Major Joseph
JC. Stehlin. a twenty-three years old
riviatdr of Brooklyn "Ml Y. who al-
ready has fought in three armies has
gone to Riga to enlist under the Let-
tish flag in the war against the Rus-
sian Bolshevik!.' If his services are
acceptable he-will have served under
four flags in four years. Tlie colors
of France America Poland and Let-
via in turnhave won his allegiance.
'Since last fall' Major Stehlin has
been fightfng in the aviation branch of
the Polish army and in that service
took part ih' the Polish drive which
threw- the Bolsheviki out of Dvinsk.
Stehlin who was formerly a life
guard at Sheepshead Bay; Brooklyn
went to France in January 1917 and
joined the French Flying Corps where
he v.on two citations arid was pro-
moted to be sergeant for aiding fel-
low aviators attacked by German
planes.
yheit the American army came over
to France Stehlin transferred his al-
legiance to the American flag receiv-
ed a commission as first lieutenant of
aviators and took part jn .'actions- in
the Champagne' Verdun' and "Sofsson's
sectors. After the armistice he re-j
turned"' to tlie 'United States and is-
said to have j6ined the'1 aviation sec-
tibn of the New Yorld police as a cap-;
Oilriv' '- i ' I
Last September he joined the Polish
forces recruited in New York was v
cdm'missloftetl ?'is captain came to Po-'
land and was assigned to duty on the
northeastern .front. He spent four
months with a'Polish flying squadron
the' only American with the Poles on
that particular front and participated
In all the aviation work proceeding
and during the Polish attack on the;
Bolsheviki in the region of Dvinsk.
Stehlin has flown over parts of
France. Belgium Spain Russia Po-
land Lithuania and the United States
aud has hopes soon of seeing Latvia
and Riga from the air in his service
with the Letts. '
Major Stehlin says he has no idea
what vocation 'he will take up if the
war should end over here but he feels
certain that he can never go back tD
the prosaic duties of a life guard at
the beach. That game Is not exciting
enough for a man not yet 24 who lias
fought under- four flags. - - -

LONDON April 7 The classic old
English '"under the table" answer to
the question "When is a man drunk?"
is being revised!
Kings College is making investiga-
tions to. which end a 'patriotic citizen
volunteered to get' drunk once a week
in order to supply data. :
Once drunk the "patient" draws a
circle inserts a square inside it and
daws diagonal lines from the'polnfs
of the square. Every half hour he
does this. '.'
' Drinking- stout on an empty stom-
ach the drawing got worse for four
hours and twenty minutes but it was
never so bad as after whiskey.
