PICKING A|RMEN
Of ct. BRITAIN
IS SOME TASK
W the COmmandants of the Nari-
ous Flying Schools Select Pilots to
lead the Air Battles-Star Fhers
Are Born and Not Educated Into
.'lying.

London, April "a. - (Correspon-
dcace of Associated Press. How
Gees the British air service pick out
.om its thousands of airmen the
particular men who are destined to
become the star Fighters at the
ont? his question was put to an
ficial of the Air Ministry here by
lie Associated Press correspondent
IN on interview Here is his answer:
THE pilot who is destined to fly
lie single-seater machines of the air
force is discovered almost as soon
IS he has been baptized in the air.
ITO begin with, he must have pass
Cd certain physical tests with hun
dred per cent result. Many wise men,
doctors and organizers, sit in con-
lave over these tests. They define
ertain factors that go to make up
perfect airman-perfect sight, age
c. or its equivalent in physical make
>, a total abstainer, good hands,
lick brain, keenness, confidence. 1t
odd how much emphasis is placed
mans hands by the examiners,
no argue that there is as much diff
crence between flying a scout and
Il ordinary machine as there is be-
veen riding thoroughbred and
lrt horse.
Some men show their destiny from
!e first moment of training. Men
Ike Ball and Bishop promise well on
tie start; they revel in finding new
stunts and tricks of their own, long
before their heavier handed brethren
begin to attempt things that are safe
on all modern machines.
Other men begin slowly, and find
themselves through sheer pluck and
hard work. Having gone aver the
channel to pilot a placid artillery OBJ
servation or Photographic machine,
they give a good account of them.
selves in the first scrap they get in,
and thereafter they look for, and en-
Joy, fights. An observer in his offic-
al report casually remarked that Pi-
ot So-andso is always wanting to
,ackle- the Huns instead of taking
photographs or ranging guns and
'traightway his commanding officer
sends the trouble hunter off to head
quarters with recommendation that
ands him in special post graduate
school or aerial gunnery for training
n what the airmen call fire eating
Here he meets the men-aces they
ire called in France-who have been
lighting in single seaters, and who
IRE resting or have been sent back
FOR use as instructors. The public
Snows little about these post gradu-
ate schools for young eagles; they
are intensive and thorough; the sci
ence of air fighting is taught by sta
ges up to degree of perfection al
most unbelievable.
"To the airman who fights, such
things as tactics and deflection must
come by instinct. The good fighting
man, it is generally believed, is born,
not made. He must have the quick
brain that will direct the hands with
the judgment of experience. He must
have keenness and also luck. Me also
must love the game, although it is
not necessary that he should have
been sportsman, or yachtsman
or racing motorist in his pre-wal
days.

revered like a holy creature whose
touch was sufficient to cure all the
woes and ills of those who threw
themselves upon his mercy. The
figure OF Bishop Nikifor will live in
the annals OF Serbian history as long
as the latter is known, and he will
pass into posterity as one of the
most revered Of national heroes in
the whole of the Balkan peninsula.
Taken Prisoner.
There came. however. a day when
the Bulgarian government felt that
it ought 10 interfere. and on the ex-
press orders OF King Ferdinand,
who was beginning TO fear that the
popularity of the bishop might rouse
some of his own subjects against
him, Monsignor Nikifor was seized
by a squadron of Bulgarian troo!
and carried off by force TO Sofia. II
was not imprisoned there, at least
not formally. but given a house to
live in under strict watch, and he
was not allowed TO celebrate divine
service anywhere outside the small
chapel which had been fitted out for
him in the same building where he
resided.
But in Sofia, as we'll as in Prirzen.
the bishops popularity grew and
grew with each day that passed. and
people talked about him as they
would have done about a saint. The
women used TO come to him and to
bring him their children so that he
might bless them, and his appear
ance in the streets provoked such a
sensation that at last he was bor-
hidden TO leave his own ground. His
captivity became closer and closer.
And then the day came when this
brave heart that had looked down
upon so much woe, broke under the
burden, and Bishop Nikifor, the ven
cradle Metropolitan of Prirzen.
closed his eyes upon a world over
which the darkest OF clouds had
fallen, before having been allowed
10 see his country freed from its op-
pressors.

mans have been forced more into the
open. The trenches run i'm such a
manner as to leave none into which
they can fall back. forcing them to
depend upon those they hastily con
