An American officer on a tour of inspection stops to listen to the tale
of this old French peasant. The old lady is one of fifteen survivors of
the Hun occupation of their village. These who were able to work were
deported to Germany. (Readers of this newspaper who wish a photo

MAKING ’PLANES
FOR WAR USE
Washington, D. C. —The time, labor
and material which go into the mak
ing of a warplane are set forth by
Lieutenant Colonel Hiram Bingham.
Signal Corps, V. S. A., in a communi
cation to the National Geographic So
ciety, a part of which is made public
as the following war geography bul
letin:
“Just recently we have received
some figures of the material which is
required for one of the simpler train
ing planes. For instance, 921 steel
stampings must be cut out, 798 forg
ings east, and 276 turn-buckles, all
for a single machine.
“The one material which gives this
double characteristic of strength with

The Munson last on which this Regu- I

four years of experiments with 2000!
marching men.
The materials are the best known.
The workmanship is that of experts]
who make army shoes exclusively.
HERMAN’S
Stand up better in service and give
longer wear for the money than any
other shoe you can buy. Don’t accept
substitutes. Insist upon the well
known Shield Trade Mark and the
name “Herman” which has identified
the best shoes for 20 years.

lightness is spruce; not the ordinary
spruce, but a super-selected spruce
from the giant trees of the Pacific
coast.
“The reduction of aircraft manu
facture to the simplest, standardized,
quantity production basis has been
one of America's great triumphs in the
air and an achievement which very
soon will be making itself felt.
“But metal must be used in an air
plane as little as possible. It is alto
gether too heavy, especially when a
few extra pounds make all the mar
gin in speed between victory and de
feat. An engine of 300 horsepower is
in itself enormously heavy to rise into
the air; so that the rest of the ma
chine must attain the very acme of
lightness.
“That very , lightness, however, en
tails enormous strength and perfect
adjustment.
“The ideal trees for airplane spruce
are the fine old patriarchs, scarce
enouggh at best, which have a girth
of about 14 feet and run up 160 feet
without a. branch. Now when this
splendid- wood is cut 52 per cent is
thrown out at once the part in the
heart where the grain is too circular
and the part at the circumference
where the grain is too coarse. Another
10 peer cent is culled out for various
reasons and another 7 1-2 per cent
lest tb kiln shrinkage. This leavees
us less than one-third of our original
wood for further selection.
"Os this third, however, only a small
proportion of it is fit for the more deli
cate work. Less than 1 per cent of it
has the necessary length and strength
for ailerons; 2.3 per cent is fit for the
wing beams; 4.6 per cent’for the long
tsruts, and the same for the landing
gear. The balance can only be used
for ill's and the smaller fittings.
Strafhing America's Lumber Resour-
ces.
“These figures show why America's
vast lumber resources are being
strained to the limit to build our air
fleet. They explain also why it has
been necessary for the United states
to take over the whole spruce output
as agents for the combined allied pro
gram and eliminate the ruinous com
petition which had prevailed between
the English, French, and Italian gov
ernments.”
SALUTING VITAL
PAR£OF training
Commanders Instructed to
Make it a Fixed Part of the
Drills. Slovenly Salutes Not
to be Accepted.
Washingto "Slovenly, indifferent
salute and the lack of uniformity in
dress and equipment, are two-weak
nesses in American soldiers in train
ing, officers of the inspectors general
department and French and British
military advisors have informed the
war department. Calling the division
commanders’ attention to this criti
cism, a department memorandum today
said:
"Commanders of all grades are here
by enjoined to make instruction in sa
luting a fixed part of their drills until
every officer, enlisted man and organ
ization can with certitude be pro
nounced proficient in salutes. This
part of the soldiers’ training must be
considered vital instead of casual.
“All commanders are further enjoin
ed to rigorously suppress all sloven
liness of personal dress. Uniformity
of dress through ,ut a command is ab
solutely necessary to discipline and
must be kept constantly in mind at all

LOVE’S SACRIFICE
There were on calvary three crosses,
and on them three victims, all suffer
ing the same physical pains and await
ing by slow tortures the same death.
One was a brigand, defiant to the last
of God and man. One was a sinless
sufferer bearing in h'.< breaking heart
the sin and shame of the world which
crucified him and for which he died.
And one was a repentant sinner, in
spired to repentance by the sufferer at
his side.
There are today in Europe three
crosses.
There are those who suffer cold and
hunger and tears and wounds and death

that they may impose ce.'r dominion on
the civilized world. For most of them
we may well pray. “Fa -.e.'. forgive them,
for they know not what they do.”
Some are learning by their own suffer
ing and the suffering of the comrades at
their side what is the hell which the rule
and religion of,.Odin imposes on man
kind, and what is the glory of the cross
bearing followers of Jesus Christ.
Some have chosen cold and hunger
and teats and wounds and death that
they may give to the world the gift of
liberty and justice. They are suf
fering not for their own sins but for
the sins of the world. They have heard
the call: ‘He laid dow t nis life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren,”
The only sacrifice Christianity knows
is love’s sacrifice.
