THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, JUNE 13, 1918 AMERICAN AIRMEN TELLS OF FIGHTING EXPERIENCES A committee on Public Information representative in Ixmdon says: There are no better sportsmen •in the world than the allied airmen, and American aviators now fighting in Europe always play a fair game, as they learn it from the allies. F. P Magoun, a former Harvard student now a member of the Royal air force recently wounded, tells haw the lives or German observers escaping from balloons have been spared. “We caught three Hun balloofis above the allied grounds in a mist which prevented their ‘gunners see ing us,” said he. “It was a cinch You should have seen them hustle out their parachutes and abandon the balloons. As they came falling down through the air we circled about closely but, of course, didn’t open fire, as that’s against the rules of the game. As soon as they touched ground they took cover like rabbits.’. Magnon is the only American in his squadron, having joined in Feb ruary of last year. He has bagged five German planes. While carrying tombs for low attack in the recent offensive lie received a bullet through his left arm, but mnaaged to return to his own lines. Magoun tells of a companion in his squadron who had one of the luckiest escapes during the war. He was put out o faction at 1,- 000 feet in the air when a bullet per forated his gasolint tank. He was rendered unconscious by the fumes and his machine took a nose dive tc earth, but he escaped without a scratch. A section of the Royal air force op erating in the Ypres salient has lost its only American member, who had been with the squadron only 10 days when he went on a bombing raid at low elevation. He was hit by a m't chine-gun bullet and his plane fell in flames. He was taken prisoner. The efforts of newspapers to pro mote good feeling between the people of England and thousands of Amer icans received official backing when Sir Randolf Baker, member of Parlia ment offered to take charge of the American troops welfare department of the British Government. His plans contemplate a continuous program of healthful recreation in every Ameri can rest camp and training camp in England. Special London theatrical companies will be sent out. An org anization known as “Sammy’s Blighty League’’ is being formed. AMERICAN INFANTRYMAN HAS ADVANTAGE IN AMMUNITION EQUIPMENT The American infantrymen in the Expeditionary Forces carries 200 rounds of ammunition in the pockets of his light canvas webb belt and his bandoleers. The German soldier has only 120 rounds, and 30 of these are in his knapsack. To secure them at a critical moment he must lose valuable time. The American webb belts, according to the War Department, are far su perior to the German leather bando leers. They are not affected by pro longed rains nor torrid weather. The manufacture cf these belts is one of the most intricate of the operations in the textile field. U. S. Army belts are made almost entirely of cotton The exact weight of the 220 round carried by the American soldier in France is 12. pounds. With the Springfield rifle 23 aimed shots can be fired each minute. Firing from the hip 40 shots can be fired a min nte. The new Lffiited States model 1917 (modified Enfield) does even better. MANY OPPORTUNITIES OPEN FOR SPECIALISTS IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT There is a list of 137 occupations were the demand for men in the War Department constantly exceeds the supply. A pressing need exists in the Army for men experienced in handling mules, and before all future needs are met a recruiting campaign may be come necessary. No difficulty has been experienced in getting men who can buy and handle horses, but black smiths are scarce. There is a constant demand for but chers, and cooks are greatly needed In several technical branches, par ticularly the Engineers, men for the higher positions are plentiful but the workers for the ranks are scarce Experienced mechanics, especially those familiar with automobiles are al ways in demand. More interpreters than can be used have applied for positions with the War Department, and applications for commissions as Army Chaplains are also in excess of the need. The excess totals thousands in each case Clerks for general work are plentiful but there is demand for specialists At present there is a surplus of den tists and pharmacists. ‘ Keeping Our Fighters Fit —For ‘‘War and After” is the title of an offi cial book issued by the Commission on Training Camp Activities, describing the athletics, mass singing, social lit? and other recreations of men ir Army and Navy camps. The book tells of the theaters, the work of the Y M. C. A., Knig'nts of Columbus, and other organizations associated with the commission in welfare work, and gives details of life in the camps. William C. Jones Arrives Safely On Other Side Relatives in Bartow county have just reecived the interesting news that Mr. William C. Jones had arriv ed safely • Over There.” He was one of the selectmen leaving Cartersville about • five weeks ago, and was sta tioned for a few days at Camp Gor don. Soon his ability was recogniz ed, and lie was given opportunity to join a hospital unit, and transferred to Camp Mills, New York. After a short training course had been com pleted there, Mr. Jones was placed in a unit embarking for service over seas, and upon arriving safely, the word was flashed to his relatives here. In this connection it is interesting to learn that, before sailing, the boys are permitted to write a card to their relatives, stating they are going over. When their transport arrives, a cable is sent by government officials, and upon its receipt in this country, all cards written by the boys on that particular transport are released, and fowarded to the addresses. In this way, news of the safe arrival of Uncle Sam’s boys is conveyed to their home folks, at no cost to them ,and yet it reaches its destination in record time. 'Friends in this county are delighted to know of Mr. Jones’ rapid rise in the ranks, and they believe his ability will receive still further recognition.
