POLA BOMBED AGAIN BY
ITALIAN AIRMEN.
Havoc Wrought in the Enemy's
Ranks and Effort to Regain
Lost Ground is Costly.

Since the middle of last week the
German armies in Flanders have
been trying to wrest from the Brit
ish the territory taken from them in
the recent big offensive of Field Mar
shall Haig
AS on previous days Crown Prince
Rupprecht OF Bavaria on Wednesday
unleashed large numbers of his
troops in an attempt to recuperate
terrain on the Ypres sector, where
the British are seriously threatening
his communication line with Ostend
and the submarine base at Zee
brugge. Ever watchful the gunners
OF Haig again wrought havoc among
the attacking waves and dispersed
the Germans with heavy casualties
and retained all their positions in
tact.
Steadily Pounding Away.
There still is no indications of the
time set by Field Marshal Haig for
the renewal of his efforts to press
on toward and cut the Lille railway.
but he is steadily keeping up his
pounding of the German trenches
with his masses Of artillery.
Although the German war office
asserts that in Tuesdays fight along
the eastern bank of the Meuse in the
Verdun sector. the Germans cap-
tured comparatively long line of
French trenches. the French official
communication makes no meStion OF
this and asserts merely that violent
artillery fighting and spirited patrol
engagements took place.
While the British and French air
men continue their bombing opera
tions against Germany's submarine
base at Ieebrugge and points of
military importance behind the lines
the French aviators are keeping up
their attack on German towns and
cities in reprisal fo~ the shelling nv

HOW IT TRAINS
WAR BIRDMEN
Instructed in Machine Gun
Signaling and Nerve-Test-
ing Aerial Tactics

Washington, Sept 21. The pres
ent practice of the aviation section
of the signal corps regarding quail
fications of candidates for service as
aviators in the American Army air
service was disclosed by the War De-
partment to-day.
Candidates for commissions 50 ffy-
inng officers must be az least nine
teen years old and preferably not
over thirty, although in exceptional
cases older men of pronounced
athletic attainments, who have spent
most of their lives out of doors, in
the saddle, ranching. playing polo,
mountain climbing, or in actual fly
ing, may be accepted, if they can
satisfy the examining board of their
physical fitness. 1t is also required
that candidates should be men of the
highest character, well educated and
of good physique. They may be light
in weight ana youthful in appear
ance, but applicants will not be rec
commended, it is announced, who are
not in every way qualified and fitted
to become officers of the United
army.
1T must be remembered" said the
statement issued by the airplane di-
vision, that the flying officer is not
an aerial chauffeur or exhibition
flyer" He has been more correctly
defined as twentieth century cav
airy officer mounted on Pegasus 1t
is obvious that candidates must be
mentally alert, physically perfect and
