man who can pass the menial, physi
cal and moral ti.si t the regular serv
ice may obtain the practical ami the
oretical instruction necessary to equip
him for a commission as an oilicer of
the aerial reserve service.
There will be established a system of
training schools which are expected to
bo second to none in the world. The
machines manufactured especially for
liaiiilnu purposes will he of types to

Anton Fendrh h, w ho Js about to pub

the German public its first real view
of the Gorman air fleet, which he vis
lted "among the sand dunes." Here
is his story in part:
"Somewhere amid the white sand
dunes ami the salt meadow wecis

brought some notion to Albion that it
no longer U an island. I was taken to

"It was ml lnlg'it as we approached

and red, soon shrank to narrow shin

on Its axis In order to bring the air
ship Into line with the wind.
Hurricane From Propellers.
"The turning of a single screw on
the oeher yellow body of the air cruis
er tilied the giant hall with the roar
ing and howl'ng of a hurricane.
"In front of the almost unbelievably
thin steel rods to which were affixed
the screw propellers were high wood

pollers. These' wooden propellers, each
an tall as a man, soon became visible
again, turned awkwardly n few times,
then stopped. A mechanic adjusted a
few screws, hammered a few bolts,
and then the slender thin wooden
blades again roared. The mechanic
notes the faults first always with the
ear only, but nttcrwaru uiseovers
them with the eye.
"Now they had caught the right tone.

gineer reported to the commander.

"A shrill whistle and all the screws
began-their s-torin" song. A few" men of
the landing battalion shook themselves
like, wet dogs. They had got on their
heads a spout of the water with which
the air cruiser lightens itself. - Lightly
the slender colossus floated upward
and it seemed swallowed up by the

UNITED STATES SUBMARINES
SHOW GREAT PROFICIENJ
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
made public a detailed statement of
the standing of destroyers and subma
rines for the gunnery year 1015-191(5,
together with the standing of destroy
ers, submarines, cruisers and gunboats
in elementary practice and battle prac
tice. '
The figures for gunnery and In ele
mentary and battle practice show a
wide variation. Some vessels made
1(0 ier cent. In the destroyer class

In the submarine class the K-8 was
given a final- merit record of 100

the II-2, with 70.717 points. Five sub
marines got less than ten points, while
the merit given the A-fi, one of the
oldest submarines In commission, was
0.S33.
A general statement explaining the
figures says:
"The final merit of a vessel In gun
nery is computed from the results of
all gunnery oxerci.Ts eomlu t;l by n
vessel during the gunnery year. As
conditions change from year to year
the standard must change to fit these
conditions, and in the analysis of the
work of the fleet standards for differ
ent parts of. the work and different
forms of gunnery exercises are estab
lished from the direct data .obtained
from the actual performance of the
vessels themselves."
The destroyer Stewart led In its
class in the elementary practice with
guns and torpedoes, its merit being
72.750. In this practice the Patterson
again was second, with a merit of
09.702. The Decatur was twenty-sixth
In the list, receiving a merit of 10.!)98
points.

mentary practice as well as In gun
nery. In the former receiving a merit
of STi out "f a possible 100 points. The
II-3 was '.second .-with 05 points, and
the 0-.r was last with 5 points, sharing
this record with 'the-A-fl, In the battle
