Just a word on L. S. N. aeronau-

aviation is thing of the present da,
ard is very essential for the winning
of the war 1t is thing that is be-
ing perfected more and more every
day The naval aviation is extremely
necessary in locating submarines,
mines and other obstacles that might
be hidden under the waters surface.
and the experiences that have been
through give me the right to mako
such statements
THE training that this government
gives the men in this branch of the
service makes them very proficient in
the duties of aviation. AS for my
self, at the present time | am going
through just such training, and
know that when | have finished train
ing that will be so trained that | will
not be afraid to take my stand at tho
front line where my duties will be of
the most important value.

training purposes are not exactly like
the ones they are using at the front.
but the principles of flying are the
same, We have among the men of
this country some of the best flyers
of the world. | have not finished my
training but | will say at that, that
will be as good flyer as some of the
rest, because the course we have to go
