AVIATION BRANCH
 SHOULD ATTRACT
 PHOENIX YOUNG MEN

The newest and most interesting branch of the military service, the aviation branch, should attract many Phoenix young men as it is in large numbers the best of the young men from all parts of the country. There has been the greatest rush to enlist in the aviation branch during the past four weeks than at any time since en- listment in the flying service of the country has been opened.
 Men with large incomes, some with great wealth. have been attracted to | the aviation service. and some have refused commissions in the infantry l to enlist as an avia -or It is expect ed that all successful applicants will be called for service srortly as prac- tically all of the schools are increas- | ing their capacities.
 Men of the reddest blood, those who desire to be in the midst of things where there is something doing all of the time, are the first to join the aviation branch. although because of the prominent part taken by aviators in this war the selections is very eX- acting. The artillery depends almost entirely on the aviators to find the range for the guns, and the infantry relies upon the artillery to protect il by barrage fire in an advance. Witt so much thus depending upon the fliel he must be a man of daring courage and steady nerves. who thinks quick ly enough to take every possible ad- vantage of the enemy.
 The mortality of this arm of thu service is much lower than in man! of the others, contrary 10 the genera belief. While the aviator takes bi: chances, he frequently comes out un touched. His chances of getting ava, from the enemy are much better thal with the infantry and artillery.
 Training for aviation consists of ; course of eight weeks at one of tn eight army schools of aerona nautics 0 ground schools; five weeks at a flyini school and course in trick flying last ing at least two months
 Qualifications for an aviator arc briefly: As near physical perfection as possible, nerves of steel muscle pliable and we'll developed, eyesight 0 hawk, acute hearing, height betwee five feet four inches and six feet thre inches, weight 120 to TO pounds.
 A candidate must nave finished
 course at recognized college or tech nical school or have the equivalent C such an education. In determinin this equivalent, business experience general intelligence, travel, tutorin experience. home study. athletic activ ity and military experience are cgn

HUMAN PROGRESS

I should have small temptation to live where men have neither polished manners. nor improved minds though the face of the country were ever so well improved But have long observed that there is a gradual progress in human affairs. The first of mankind is 10 supply the cravings of nature; in the next place they study the convenences and comforts of life. But the subduing prejudices and acquiring knowledge that herculean labor is the last being what demands the perfect abilities and to which all other advantages are preparatve.- George Berkeley.

utes from tie time w1en we started lover the top" our artillery, several miles back, would drop curtain" of shells all around the edges of that 15O yard by 200 yard section. We were to have fifteen minutes in which to do our work. Any man not out at the end of the fifteen minutes would neces. sarily be caught in our own fire, as our artillery would then change from q "box" to pour a straight curtain fire covering all of the spot of our opera tions.
 Our officers set their watches very carefully with those of the artillery of. fcers before we went forward to the front trenches. We reached the front at Il D. m.. and not until our arrival there were we informed of the zero hour"-the time when the attack was to be made. The hour of 12:10 had been selected. The waiting from II o'clock until that time was simply an agony. Some of our men sat stupid and inert. Others kept talking con stantly about the most inconsequential matters. One man undertook to tell a funny story. No ono listened to 1t, and the laugh at the end was emaciated and ghastly The inaCtion was driving us all into state of funk. could ac- tually feel my nerve oozing out at my finger tips, and If we had had to wait fifteen minutes longer wouldn't have been able to climb out of the trench.
 About half an hour before we were to go over every man had his eye up the trench, for we know the rummies" were coming that way. The rum gang serves out a stiff shot of Jamaica just before an attack. and 1t would be a real test of temperance to see man refuse. There were no prohibitionists in our set. Whether or not we got our full ration depended on whether the sergeant in charge was drunk or sober. After the shot began to work one man next me pounded my leg and hollered in my ear:
 q say, why all this red tape? Let's 30 over now"
 That noggin of rum is a life saver,
 When the hour approached for us to start the artillery fire was so heavy that orders had to be shouted into ears from man to man. The bombardment was, of course, along a couple of miles of front so that thp Germans would not know where to expect us. At 12 o'clock exactly they began pulling down a sec ton of the parapet so that we wouldn't have to climb over 1t and we were of.

 The sixty of us chosen to execute the raid were taken twenty miles to the rear for a weeks instruction practice. Having only a slight idea of what we were going to try to do, we felt very folly about the whole enterprise start Ing off. We were camped in an old barn, with several special instruction officers in charge. We had oCal tn- struction the first day, while sappers dug and built on exact duplicate of the section of the German trenches which We were to ruid-that Is, it was exact except for few details. Certain skeleton trenches" in the practice Oeo- tion were dug simply to fool the Ger man aviators. If photograph taken back to German headquarters had shown an exact duplicate of German trench section suspicion might have been aroused and our plans revealed We were constantly warned about the skeleton trenches and told to remenl- Der that they did not exist in the Ges- man section where we were Go operata Meanwhile our practice section Wns changed a little several times, because aerial photographs showed that the Germans had been renovating and making some additions to the trenches in which we were to have our froIc with them --' ..'
 We had oral instruction, 5rno5tly dur ing the day because we didn't dare let the German ayiators see us practfcinS a bomb raid. All night long, sometimes until 2 or 8 o'clock in the morning, VIC rehearsed that raid, just as carefully as a company of star actors would re- ] hearse a play. At first there was dfs- position to have sport out of it.
 "Wen," some chap would say, roll ing into the hay all tired. out T got killed six times tonight. S'pose hn be eight times tomorrow night" ''
 One man insisted that be had fscoV- cred in one of our aerial photographs a German burying money, and he care fully examined each new picture, So that he could be sure Of finding the dough and digging it up. The grave and serious manner of our officers, however, the exhaustive care with which we were drilled and, more than all, the approach of the time when we were to s"go over the top" drove all sport out of our minds, and can say for myself that, the very thought of ] the undertaking as the fatal night drew near sent shivers up and down my spine.

The Prince of Wales,

A few days after this very young officer passed me In a trench while l was sitting on a fire step writing a letter. 1 noticed that be had the red tabs of a staff officer on his uniform but I paid no more attention to him than that. No compliments, such RS salutes to officers, are paid in the trenches. After he had passed one Of the men asked me If 1 didn't know who he was. said I didn't
 "Why, you d. fool" he said, "thats the Prince of Walesr' ,... ''A
 When the little prince came back l stood to salute him. He returned the salute with a grave smile and passed on. He was quite, alone, and was told afterward that he made these trips through the trenches just to show the men that he did not consider him self better than any other soldier. The heir of England was certainly taking nearly the same chance Of losing bis inheritance that we were. .'.
 After we had been on the front line fifteen days we received orders to make a bombing raid Sixty voluD- teers were asked for, and the whole
