First School in Italy for U. S.
Aerial SaiIors-Hard Work

AMERICAN SEAPLANE TRAINING
CAMP, Central Italy, April 15.-Ameri-
cans in training here to become subma-
rine hunters and coast protectors combine
hard work and serious study, varied by
occasional trips to a nearby town, or, less
frequently. to Rome.
This Is the first school in Italy for Uncle
Sans aerial sailors. They attend lee
lures, learn French and Italian, go
through all the lessons up to solo" flying
when they are allowed to fly alone. thence
on through careful training to the time
when they are recommended as fit for Of
ficers. Next their names travel over the
Atlantic to the War Department.. and
finally they become officers and have their
United States.
II know Of no greater glory than that
Of being an aviator" said the American
ambassador. Thomas Nelson Page. to
some Of them at a lunch given in their
honor.
Located North Of Rome.
Their camp is located near the banks
of one OF the volcanic lakes in the noun
tains north of Rome. The winter and
spring have been mild and the student
aviators have been flying almost every
day since they came, under the direction
Of Italian instructor pilots. They utilize
the lake for bathing.
On their Saturday afternoon and SUM-
day holidays they ride over to a cathedral
town set on a big rock and they go to
church, see the sights, spend a little
money on restaurant food, possibly put up
overnight at one of the many little hotels
that are languishing here since the war
cut off tourist traffic. and they ride back
again Monday morning for q new week 8
training.
Missourian a Fnancier.
Those fortunate enough to have tooth
ache or teeth in the need of repair may
go to Rome for that purpose, Uncle Sam
not having yet provided a dentist exclu-
sively for this camp as he has at the
bigger camp for aviators in the south of
Italy: AS teeth connect with the nerves
which arc supposed to regulate the sense
how important commanding officers con-
slider such troubles. Without a proper
sense Of equilibrium. a man can't fly with
out running the risk Of breaking his neck
or a valuable machine.
sometimes money becomes a drawback
to the Rome excursion. in view of the ir-
regularities Of pay days. One sharp
youth from Missouri overcame this handi-
cap by borrowing French. English or
American money from his comrades In
Rome he exchanged this for Italian paper
money at the rate OF eight and one-half
lire to the dollar spent what was neces-
sary to sec the sights and returned to the
camp with more money than he had when
he started. He repaid his debts at the
rate Of five lire to the dollar.

Desperate Fighting Ground.

East Of the Brenta river is another
part Of this same Val Sugana, which is
also desperate fighting ground, where
the enemy has made his main push to
get down to the open plain. and here he
advanced farthest. toward Bassano, yet
the splendid bravery of the Italians held
him in the mountains through the win
ter. He Is still there, around Mount
Pertico. Mount Asolone. Col Caprille and
Col Della Berretta. This Is bloody fight
ing ground and II will doubtless be
} heard from very often as the operations
develop.
Still further east comes the domi-
mating massive of Mount Grappa, mid
way between the Brenta and Piave
rivers. 1t Is strongly held by the Ital-
ians and Is one of the great citadels Of
1talys natural mountain defense. Near
II. rising from the Piave river, comes
Mount Tomba, where the French troops
made such brilliant drive last Decem-
Der. The enemy has been comparatively
quiet in this region, all the indications
being that he is centering attention fur
Their west in the Asiago region and
down the Brenta valley.
This summarizes the mountain fight
ing ground on the Italian front. where
there Is gathering activity and where II
10 believed the big fighting Is going to
occur.
