JAPAN WANTS To
PR0MOTECLOSE
RELATIONSHIPS

TOXIC, June 19.-The appointment
of a special business commissioner to
the United States for the purpose of
promoting closer economic relations
between Japan and America has been
recommended by the Toxic Chamber
of Commerce.
1t is understood that the Japanese
merchants in the United States and
the business men interested in Japa-
nese trade are anxious to have an eff
fective medium of cementing closer
relations. The idea of appointing a
business commissioner who would rep
resent Japanese business interests is
the outcome of the recent visit of
the Japanese financial commission
headed by Baron Megata.
A plan to establish Japanese cham
Der of commerce in the United States
and to organize an Acknowledgements
bank is also being studied here.

HOW ENGLAND'S
SCOUTF|GHTERS
ARE PICKED OUT

LONDON, June 19-How does the
British air service pick out from it's
thousands of airmen, the particular
men who are destined to become the
star fighters at the front? This
question was put to an official of the
air ministry here by the Associated
Press correspondent in an interview.
Here is his answer:
'The pilot who is destined to fly the
single-seater machines of the air force
is discovered almost as soon as he
has been baptized in the air
"To begin with he must have passed
certain physical tests with a hundred
per cent. result. Many wise men,
doctors and organizers, sit in conclave
over perfect sight, age "a or it's equi-
valent in physical makeup, total alb
stainer, good hands, quick brain, con-
fidence. 1t is odd how much emphasis
is placed on mans hands by the ex-
aminers, who argue that there is as
much difference between flying a
plane used for scouting and an ordin-
airy machine as there is between rid
ing a thoroughbred and a cart-horse.
Some men show their destiny from
the first moment of training. Men
like Ball and Bishop promise we'll
right from the start; they revel in
finding new stunts and tricks of their
own long before their heavier-handed
brethren begin to attempt the things
that are safe on all modern machines.
"Other men begin slowly, and find
themselves through sheer pluck and
hard work. Having gone over the
channel to pilot placid artillery OBJ
servation or Photographic machine,
they give a good account of them
selves in the first scrap they get
mixed up in, and thereafter they look
for and seem to enjoy fights. An OBJ

remarks that Pilot So-and-So is al

ing guns and straightway his com
mandin officer send the trouble

ommendation which lands him in a
special postgraduate school of aerial
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-06-19

gunnery for training in what the air
men call 'fire-eating'
Here he meets the men-aces they
call them in France-who have been
fighting in single-seaters, and who are
resting or have been sent back for
use as instructors. The public knows
little about these postgraduate
schools for young eagles; the work is
intensive and thorough; the science
of air-fghting is taught by stages up
to deree of perfection almost un-
believable.
ITO the airman who fights, such
things as tactics and DETECTION, ranges
and sights must come by instinct. The
good fighting men, it is generally be.
lieved, are born, not made. They must
have the quick brain that will direct
the hands with the judgment of ex-
perience. They must have keenness,
and also luck. They must love the
game although it is not necessary
that they should have been sportsmen,
or yachtsmen, or racing motorists, in
their pre-war days
at is the general opinion among
pilots that scout fighter who has
completed a month on the western
front has passed through his proba-
ton and will be good for long time
unless bad luck or the laws of chance
bring him down"

We know that she Is not mail order

Let us examine the process that
turns out this finished product of skill.
dependability and sensibility. Let US
consider the raw material as it went
into the hospital school for nurses and
the work required to transform 1t into
the Red Cross nurse of today, the
light Of service shining in her eyes, her
whole being responding to the call of
patriotism.
The Red Cross nurse was at one
time schoolgirl, just like thousands
of schoolgirls who today are longing
TO grow up so they may do their part
in the worlds work She was high
school graduate, confronted with the
necessity for earning her living or else
eager to do something for humanity
and for herself. She gained the con-
sent of her parents by showing them
the tremendous advances that have
been made recently in nursing educa-
ton and set out 10 discover what she
must do to become nurse.
She was wise She got in touch
with the nursing association of her
state and sought advice. She was told
to select q school for nurses III which
the course of study and practical work
covers two years, or, better still. three

at Least Two Years of Hard Work
and Expert Training Required
to Equip Women for War
Hospital Service.

The thought of the Red Cross nurse
calls up picture of self possession
and efficiency. We see her In her
white uniform passing from one hos
pital bed to another, combining tender
ness with skill In relieving suffering.
We think Of her always as finish
ed product, perfectly equipped and
trained to meet emergency, maintain
ing her poise and resourcefulness I'M
der the most trying circumstances.
1t does not occur TO us that her
poise and efficiency are the result of
years Of training. We seldom think
of the Red Cross nurse as anything
but a Red Cross nurse. The sacri-
fees she has made, the hardships she
has undergone while acquiring ability
as a war nurse are real assets TO her
but do not form part of our Judgment
of her work
How is the Red Cross nurse made!
We know her skill is not the result Of
short course school of nursing"
We know she is not Il self developed

health Of the families Of our soldiers
and sailors. 1t is important, therefore.
that Red Cross nurse is trained to an
swer any call and to pass readily from
one branch Of service to another.
If she Is properly advised the pros
pective pupil will be told to select a
raining school connected with a hos.
pstal. In which the hours Of duty are
reasonable, where cnre is taken Of the
nurses health and time and opportunt-
ty allowed for recrea ton.
The hospital must provide good OPP
portunity for training in the main
branches Of nursing and must be sup
piled with a good teaching staff. The
Red Cross will not accept candidate
who has not had actual experience in
hospital with at least 80 beds and
in which students are taught to nurse
