A BOY SOLDIER. Hanau Premier Adopts Had Who is Fighting iu The Ranks. Headquarters Italian Army. May 2<? (Correspondence cf The Associated Press)?Premier Orlando and Gener? al Sani were passing along the front of the famous Arditi, or Italian storm trooi>?, the other day, when the Pre? mier aignled out in the ranks a small boy carrying a rille. The Premier stopped and asked who this boy sol? dier OOUld be. and General Sani relat? ed this story: During the retreat last October, the twenty-first battalion of Arditi passed Westward through the village of Os pitale in the province of Heal lu no. It waa a stirring event for the village, and all the children were in the street to see the soldiers go by, Including a pale-faced boy of fifteen, David Mar cello, a farm bei per for his father. At the sight of the marching men the lad simply threw away his farm tools and joined in the wake of the Hops, doing odd jobs for them and being received as a little brother. Rut David had other ideas, he did not intend to be a privileged little brother but wanted to get In the ranks and be a combatant. He took part in several assaults and develop* cd remarkably expert ability In throw? ing hand grenades. As a specialis! Io? was in the very forefront of these fa? mous lighters. "I Hied to give him a regular status in the ranks as a soldier," said Gen? eral Sani. "but there has been dif? ficulty In accomplishing it thus far." "There will be no more difficulty," Said the Premier, touched by the story of the boys courage and ability. "I ask yotl to retain him in the twenty fust Assault battalion, as from this moment 1 adopt the boy as one of my sons." Ami the long line of seasoned vet? erans saw the Prime Minister of Italy step forward and put his hand on the shoulder of the pale-faced boy. "David," said the Premier, "you are now as one of my sons. 1 expect a letter from von every month. Your position In the ranks Is secure and I will see to your future. Meanwhile light for Italy and be brave." And again the seasoned ranks stood at attention as the Prime Minister of Italy bent over, and in the presence of the whole battalion kissed the hoy .soldier on the forehead, and then passed along. 1-5-? ' m ifjblN<3? TP TftADK.^ Iteport on Opportunity for shoe Ex? ports to 'South America. Washington, May 24.?For the as? sistance of American shoe manufac? turers in enlarging their South Amer? ican trade, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce has imported more than 1&0 samples of the kinds of footwear most generally used in Lat ln-America and will publish soon a series of special reports on the South American shoe trade by Herman G. Brock, of Brockton. Mass., who re? cently returned to this country after a long tour as a special agent for the Bureau. The best opportunities for the sale of American shoes were found by Mr. Brock to be on the west coast of South America. High grade shoes are scarce there, while the countries are very prosperous from the sales of unusual quantities of nitrates, other minerals and foodstuffs at war prices. On the east coast there is an over-production of tine shoes by the numerous and up to-date factories in Argentina, Uru? guay and Brazil. Argentina recently doubled the duty on imported shoes for the protection of home industry and tariffs in the other two countries also ate high. Peculiarities of the Latin-American foot must be considered in making goods for sale in those countries. It was with this in mind, particularly, that the Bureau collected representa tise styles of shoes to illustrate the very high instep, broad ankle, short vamp and high heel, which the South American demands. In styles, the South American fac? tories generally copy American types, adapted to local conditions. The modes are varied frequently to main? tain the advantage of domestic over Imported shoes. Niceties of finish are required, rather than long-wearing qualities, and objection frequently has been made to high-grade American made boots for women because there was some roughness of detail or be? cause they were to heavy. The South American buyer wants a "piano finish" even on the bottom.? of the soles, which must be flexible and light, and any loose threads are like? ly to prevent a sale. Another demand made is that shoe uppers should come together over the instep .which is directly contrary to ideas of a perfect fit in this coun? try. Except in the very large cities, there is no such thing as a fixed price for an article. Every purchase is the occasion of much bargaining, so that the American custom of stamp? ing prices on the soles of shoes is not in favor. American machinery is used almost exclusively in the South American factories. Buenos Aires alone has more than 200 factories some of which have a daily capacity of 8,000 pairs. Before the war, England led In the sale of men's shoes to South Ameri? ca. Austria. France and Switzerland sold the bulk of women's and chil? dren's shoes, but all of the Austrian product was cleared through Ham? burg commission houses and the trade statistics gave Germany the credit for the sales. American firms have an excellent reputation, for fair dealing, the quality of their goods and man? ner in which the goods are packed, which probably accounts for the in? crease in business in recent years. Mr. Brock pointed out that, the small population of Cuba buys more American shoes than the &0.000,000 inhabitants of South America. He said that in spite of export restric? tions necessary for a -suecesful prose? cution of the war and notwithtsand ing the difficulties of doing business abroad at present, American manu? facturers who are seriously interested in building up a permanent export trade, cannot be too strongly urged to acquaint themselves now with South American needs.

May 2.0 t P?y Associated, Press) How does the British Air Service pick out from its thousands of airmen, the particular men who are destined to become the HM "fight? ers" at the front? This question was put to an official of the Air Ministry here by The Associated Press corre? spondent in an interview. Here is his answer: "The pilot who is destine 1 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 pass? ed certain physical tests with a hun? dred percent result. Many wise men, doctors and organizers, sit in con? clave over these tests. They wefine certain factors that go to make up a 'perfect' airman?perfect sight, age 24 or its equivalent in physical make? up, a total abstainer, good hands, quick brain, keenness, confidence. It is odd how much emphasis is placed on a man's hands by the examiners, who argue that there is as much dif? ference between flying a scout and an ordinary machine as there is between riding a thoioughbred and a cart? horse. "Some men show their destiny from the flrst moment of training. Men like Ball and Bishop proriise well right from start; they revel in find? ing new stunts and tricks of their own, long before their heavier-hand? ed brethren begin to attempt the things that are safe on all modern machines. "Other men begin slowly, and find themselves through sheer p uck and hard work. Having gone over the Channel to pilot a placid artillery ob? servation or photographic machine, they give a good account of them? selves in the first scrap they get mix? ed up in, and thereafter they look for, and seem to enjoy, fights. An observ? er in bis official report casually re? marks that Pilot So-and so l.i 'always wanting to tackle the Huns Instead of talting photographs or ranging guns,' and straightway his commar. ding of? ficer sends the trouble-hunter off to headquarters with a recommendation which lands him in special post-grad? uate school or aerial gunr.ery for training in what the airmen call 'fire eating.' "Here he meets the men?acea they call them in France?who have tuen lighting in single-seaters, and who are resting or have been sent back for use as instructors. The public knows little about these post-gradu? ate schools for young eagles; the. work is intensive and thorough; the science of air-fighting is taught by stages up to a degree of perfection almost un? believable. "To the airman who fights, such things as tactics and deflection, ranges and sights, must come by in? stinct. The good fighting man, it la generally believed, is born, not made. He must have the quick brain that will direct the hands with the Judg ment of experience. He must have keenness, and also luck. He must love 'the game,' although it if not neces? sary that he should have been a sportsman, or a yachtsman or a rac? ing motorist in his pre-war days. "It is the general opinion among pilots that a scout fighter who has completed a month on the western front has passed through his proba? tion and will be good for a long time unless bad luck or the laws of chance bring him down."
