MINEOLA, j.. J., Oct a. = 4 third
Italian airplane, carrying pilot and
observer, reached the army aviation
field here yesterday after flying $50
miles from Langley field, near Norfolk.
Va, in three hours and ten minutes, a
record surprising that made by the
Pomilio scoutplane Monday when it flew
$50 miles in two hours and fifty five
minutes The average speed attained
by the new arrival, a STA scout, was
more than l20 miles an hodr, and at
times the motors drove it at about $50
miles an hour, as compared 10 the high
est speed of about 40 miles an hour
reached by the Pomilio machine Mon
day.
The Sia machine is larger than the
Pomilio scout and is built in the Fiat
factory ut Turin, with motors Of 300
horse power According to the Italian
officers in command of the squadron of
three planes, it is one of the most
successful airplanes in use in the war
II is said that Gabrielle d Annunzio, the
poet, who is one OF the super-pilots of
Italy, has driven the STA plane in many
of his exploits and values it as one OF
the speediest and safest airplanes in
the Italian air corps.
When the STA took to the skies at
Langley field at $50 yesterday morn

found the weather for#a swift flight so
exceptional that he gave the machine
all the power it could develop, and for
the first half OF the journey the plane
swept up the coast at an average speed
Of about l30 miles an hour. For most
of the journey she held her height OF
about $4,000 or 10000 feet, until the
Ipilot swerved SO that he could almost
touch Philadelphia.
Word that the speedy plane had left

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
| FRANCE. Oct 24.-No more earnest
young soldiers can be found in all the
war zone than the graduates Of the
American training camps, who recently
arrived in France IN large numbers
and have been distributed through the
various military schools for intense in
struction.
These reserve officers, first and see
ond lieutenants, are working as hard
as any private soldier who ever donned
the American uniform. As a matter of
fact they are actually going through
drills and exercises, i'll which they will
be called on to train the men who will
serve under them.
II is an inspiring sight to see them
digging trenches. dressed in full equip
ment. First they study the ground
then outline a trench system, then dig
it. When finally they take command
there is nothing they will ask their men
to do that they have not themselves
done. At home they learned the basic
principles required in an officer Here
they are learning the practical applica-
tion Of the various theories OF war
studied beforehand.
( The reserve officers work out of doors
during most of the daylight hours,
then attend lectures in the evening, at
which they listen to actual stories of
battle. Two of the lecturers are Amer
leans who served in the British armies.
These officers also lecture on life in the
jtrenches, and, in their talk, take the
reserve officers from distant bases by
degrees right up to the front line. show
ing every phase of the work in be
! tween.
! The schools are in French training
/ barracks near various cities. Much of
the instruction is being given by French
officers, who are delighted with the
aptness OF their pupils.

Military experts do not regard these
figures as entirely accurate but believe
they represent in round numbers the
comparative strengths Of the contending
armies as published recently. The war
department has many confidential re-
ports on the forces Of the allies and
considerable data concerning enemy
armies, but this information is not made
public for military reasons.
Germany and Austria have made
every effort 70 conceal the precise mum
bers Of their armies, but careful esti-
mates OF Allied military intelligence
departments have placed the total at
|about 100000, with Germany 5 force
more than double Austria's.
