AMERICAN AVIATORS
IN ITALY TRAIN AMID
PLEASING SCENES

American Seaplane Training
Camp Italy, May 20.-(By Mail. }
The watchwords of this camp are
efficiency, friendship. victory" re-
marked the American commander
as he stood on the beach OF the lake
directing the afternoons flying.
"The efficiency is for our boys, the
friendship for our friends, the Ital-
ians, and the victory is the destruc-
tion of the enemy" he explained.
If anything, the work in a train
ing camp here is apt to be harder
than in similar camp at home. In
addition to the usual routing Of fy
ing and studying, the students must
learn French and Italian or both. to
know the names of machine parts,
technical terms. and to know how TO
find their way about.
The aviators have found that they
must know good many phrases and
sentences if they would understand
the Italian mechanics. motor driv-
ers and aviators. So the Americans
already have begun studying Italian
as sideline to their many other
studies. Most of them know the
meaning of long list of words EN-
ployed for taking off, banking, turn
ing, gliding, diving, shaking and
landing.
A good deal of Italian has been
picked up by the aviators right in
the village where the people are
very friendly and do not laugh at
the crude expressions used by the
whom they have adopt
ed as their very own. The younger
aviators, whose ears are keener,
have the advantage in learning the
language and they find it comes in
handy at the mess tables.
The mess OF the entire camp is
located in fine old middlc-age pal
ace. The entire kitchen and first
floor has been turned over to them,
and there they eat surrounded by
walls and ceilings typical
Of an Italy of other days. The mess
IS overseen by a chef formerly with
he Duke d'Abruzzi, and the Ameri-
,ans are said to be among the best
ed soldiers in ltaly-all for 80 cents

vessels were attacked unsuccessful.
by U-boats.
The submarine which attacks a de-
fensively armed merchantmen has
no longer sure thing" During
the past month there were several
cases in which even two U-boats
were unsuccessful in an attack on
single steamer. There are sew
eral cases, also, in which the steam
er completely turned the tables on
the German, and sent him to the
bottom instead.
Even sailing ships frequently give
good account of themselves
against the submarine, although in
the nature OF things they are much
less easy to manoveur than ship
with steam power. The following
is one such case reported TO the ad-
miralty:
Sailing Leisurely.
"a sailing ship was proceeding
leisurely on her course when the
lookout sighted submarine on the
starboard quarter. She lay quiet
until the U-boat got within range,
and then opened fire. The gun crew
knew their business, for they soon
found the target, and out of thr-
teen shots, eight direct hits were
scored. The U-boat, which had
been vainly twisting and turning 70
get out OF range, suddenly went
down by the bows, and her stern
stoood clear of the water for nearly |
half minute. Then she dived per
pendicularly and came up again at
an angle of 80 degrees above the
water. For short space of time
She remained in this position, and
then disappeared like a stone"
Early one afternoon the captain
ot steamer in ballast saw the track
ot torpedo coming direct for his
ship. BY quick swing he succeed
I'd in avoiding it. Then the U-boat
;ame out OF the water and opened
ire, one of his shells piercing the
leck and wrecking the second cooks
;abin. The steamer replied valiant
and the encounter continued for
our hours. the steamer going at top
peed all the time and keeping the
ubmarine dead astern. A shot from
he steamer struck the submarine
mldshipS, but failed to do sufficient
injury to force the German to dis
ontinue the action. But after four
lourS the steamer got the subma-
Inc INTO smoke cloud, and a shell
ppeared to burst close to the u
oats bow, after which the enemy
uit the chase.
Another Attack.
In another attack. which was suc-
esstully beaten on, the merchant
ian gunners were handicapped
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-06-09

owing to the deck giving way under
the gun early in the action. Every
time the gun kicked the platform
under it jumped. The man who
was sighting it was injured, but the
crew continued firing and eventu-
ally forced the submarine to discon-
tinue the action. One Of the first
shots from the submarine broke the
wireless aerials of the steamer, but
the wireless operator repaired the
damage under fire and got mes
sage through to the nearest British
deStroyers.
