FRANCE HAS GIANT
ARMORED BATTLE CRAFT
New Fleet of French AeropIanes VIII
Garry Twelve Men, One 3.Inch Gun,
Machine Guns and Torpedoes.

Partisan aerial army is no longer
a dream. Such an army, formed in
divisions and squadrons with battle
aeroplanes, cruiser aeroplanes, scouts
and torpedo planes all armed heavily
and carrying three-inch cannon and
rapid-fire guns, is a reality. 1t has
been made possible through the re-
markable development of military
aviation in France.
The French government this week
permitted foreign correspondents the
first inspection of its new fleet Of
aeroplanes. Opportunity was given to
inspect the large and small types of
the new battle planes and watch them
as they were maneuverirg high in the
air, firing round after round from
their three.inch rifles, while they
scared, looped and darted about.
Entering the aviation field the cor
respondents saw a monster battle
plane thirty feet high with number
OF planes stretching 1870 feet across.
Further back was ranged the fleet of
battle crisers and scout planes. They
were formed like a battalion, twenty
planes in row across the front and
ten deep. Their huge wings made
front half a mile wide.
Each squadron will consist of nine
aeroplanes of all types, including one
battle plane, two battle cruisers and
six scout planes. The complement for
a squadron will be upward OF fifty Of
ficers and men for the operation OF the
aeroplanes and their transportation
on lorries drawn by automobiles with
which each squadron will be equipped.

"The methods of warfare have

GOOD STORX,ANY WAY
Bill Sanders Imagination Was
Working, All Right.
But the Fact Seemed to Be That He
Never Owned Fish Basket and
His Tale Was Somewhat
Weakened.

"I stopped at Shinhopple on my way
for few days with the trout on the
Beayerkill, in Sullivan county" said
John Gilbert, the travelling grocery
man, "and Bill Sanders, the Homer OF
all that country, buttonholed me and

Large Deposits of NovacuIite Found

Large DePOSIS OF NoVaculIIe FOunQ.
Austin, Tex-While engaged in ex-

Texas during the past summer, Chas.
Laurence Baker of the bureau of eco.
nomic geology, University of Texas,
found large deposits of novaculite, a
valuable oil stone heretofore found in
the United States only in the Ouachita
mountains of West Central Arkansas.
The noVaculite in Texas is found in
North Central Brewster county, along
the line of the Southern Pacific rail
road from Raymond westward to be-

is found north of the railroad north
