AMERICANS HAVE REPUTATION
FOR LUCK AMONG ITALIANS

American Aviation Training Camp
Southern Italy, Jan 2S.-"You cant
kill an American" is the dictum Of
the Italian officers training the sew
eral hundred young aviators who have
been fiying here since the end OF Sep
TENDER, when, by arrangement with
the Italian government, this camp was
established.
The Americans have such a reputa
ton for luck that Italian soldiers
come here so they may touch one OF
the aviators. 1T brings us good luck
too" they explain.
The Americans fly from morning un'
til night virtually every day. Not a
single one had been killed and but
three have been injured at all seri'
ously. One of the latter. on his third
trip alone, got into an air situation
which he did not understand, with the
result that he stopped his motor
whereupon the machine began to
plunge downwards until its fall was
checked by the telegraph wires OF the
railway station Of the nearby city
Thence the machine dropped to the
ground and was smashed. The avia'
tor was picked up for dead, but In
five days he was ready for another
fly.
The prize story of the camp con
Germs Harry Harris, of California, who
got lost, first in the clouds, and then
in central Italy. He was couple OF
hours going away and whole week
coming back to camp. AS he after
wards explained, he went up for an
altitude and when he got above the
clouds he was unable to discover
whether he was flying upside down OF
right side up, or whether the earth
was above or below him.
Finally, after gazing on few noun
tain tops Of the Apprentices, he light

but had heard lot about those o
Austria who have the unpleasant hab

along the Atlantic
However, he was fed and starte'

detention. He had flown nearly

That's my mother" he said to no
one in particular. Gee, wish
could rush over and kiss her."
Private Ellis" called the captain.
The young man stepped from the
ranks and saluted.
"see if I left my gloves on the
train.
The young soldier hurried to the
coach, and on his way back slipped
over to where the old lady stood and
implanted a loud kiss full on her
muth. Then he went to the captain,
and saluting, said: "They are not
there, sir"
Take your place." ordered the
captain, and, turning his back on
his company drew his gloves from
his pocket and pulled them on while
he smilingly watched an old lady
go away happy.
The soldiers fastened from the

They lined up in the street.
A woman watched them wistfully,
Her face was old and sweet.
There's my old mother over there!"
Twas Private Ellis spoke,
TO leave the ranks he did not dare
An army rule is no joke.
Private Ellis" the captain called,
my gloves are in that car"
An0 quickly now the soldier sped,
Tho crowds his way did bar.
On his return, without the gloves
Just as the captain guessed
He caught his mother in his arms,
And held er to his breast.

His gloves and put them on.

he came to the banks of the Ohio,
where he found the lilies of the
Bourbons floating above a rude
fort. Delivering his message, he
received only an evasive reply,
but he came away with something
more useful-a careful study of
the French Notifications.
As he turned toward home he
found his path covered and blocked
with snow and was obliged to take
to the river in a canoe. When he
left the river at last the snow was
so deep that the horses could not
carry him and his party.
Since the peace of two worlds
was hanging by thread and the
future of all Western America was
at stake, this young mans busi-
ness demanded haste, and he
pressed on afoot with only Gist at
his side. Dressed in Indian clothes,
with pack on his back, blanket
over his shoulders and musket in
his hand, he plunged into the white
and frozen desolation of the Ale
ghany mountains, with Indians all
about him and. more dangerous

an impartial witness of the little
war, Half-King said that the Eng

THROUGH FAILURE TO SUCCESS
A reckless campaign came to a
fitting end by Washington paying
the price of his foolhardy daring
in challenging a force three times
larger than his own.
He was compelled to surrender
Fort Necessity as be had named
his fortified camp, but as he
marched out of his log fort, he
was permitted to take his arms
with him-also a useful and sober
ing lesson. Never again did he
raise his flag where he would have
to lower to any foe.

BETRAYED BY AN INDIAN
AS a winter night was shutting
down upon a wearisome day, an
Indian offered to lead him to his
comfortable camp, but only to be-
tray him. Assured by the red pi-
lot that the promised haven was
within the sound of a gun, after
much tramping he was assured
again that it was only two
whoops" away.
Growing suspicious of treachery,
he stopped to make his camp in
the snow, when the red man boldly
pointed a gun at him and fired.

Hackensack the army did not ex-
ceed three thousand men, dispirit-
ed by ill success, and the loss of
tents and baggage. They we're
without entrenching tools, in a fiat
country, and there were no natural
Businesses. Again, to avoid the
danger of being inclosed between
two rivers, a second move was
necessary. Leaving three regi-
ments to guard the passes of the
Hackensack, and serve as covering
parties, Washington again de-
camped. and threw himself on the
west bank of the Passaic, in the
neighborhood of Newark.
His army, small as it was, would
soon be less. The term of enlist
ment of many of the soldiers was
nearly expired; and it was not
probable that, disheartened as they
we're by defeats and losses, ex-
posed to inclement weather, and
unaccustomed to military hard
ships. they would longer forego
the comforts of their homes, to
drag out the residue of ruinous
campaign. In addition, too, to the
superiority of the force that was
