here, sorting photographs, develop ing them, and fitting them together in to huge panoramic views showing ev- cry road and trench and tree. These photographs were taken from the clouds, by aviatorS, and now and then the airmen came in with the negatives just taken of their section. The whole War-zone was laid out in small squares the aviatoFs minutely photograp phing each square, and then the squares were fitted together like a jig-saw pug gle, making a complete picture of the who4e- zone. When the edge of a square was too close to German battery for the aviator to reach in safety, the photograph was taken by a camera 1ashed to a. high pole, and held above a trench.
 These last, trench pictures, pre- sented a grewsone scene of the havoc and desolation where the batteries were doing the worst work-the ground swept of trees and foliage, lit tered with debris, and a few twisted trunks extending their distorted arms.
 General Antoine now turned outside, and with a group of staff officers led the way through the mazes of the vast camp. Such a scene of varied and intense activity. It fairly throbbed as the visitors passed along. Wag- ons, wagons, wagons stretching away in intending procession for miles ahead and behind. A great cloud of dust hung over this cavaIcade. and the green fieldsg covered as with frost from the fall of dust. The four-horse teams strained along, keeping the ranks close together. Every conceiv- able sort of war stores was in this moving train-boXes and@ barrels and bales of food for men and animals; huge wine casks set on end, two to a wagon; ordnance carts piled high with boxes of shells; 1orries with ugly look ing quick-fire guns, ana vans loaded with coils of barbed wire and with disappointed stakes used in the trenches and chevaux-de-frise.
 And this goes on night and day." said Major Camut. 'tYes it is busiest at night near the front, for the nov ing is dangerous in the daytime, so that the last laps, near the fighting line, start at dusk and go steadily through the night
 And besides the activity of the high way, the fields alongside were equally busy. Here cavalry camp was post ed, and horses were tethered, not by hundreds, but by thousands. At one side a spur of railroad had been run to a camp depot, and here the freight cars were unloading supplies and the army vans were carrying them for ward Soldiers and camp followers and peasants were working at their in numerable occupations One of these groups, massed at a crossroad, look ed like a 'market-scene in Jerusalem with all races and languages cans from A1g1ers and mongrel Moors from the borders of Tunis and Nor occo, Senagalese as black as coal and yel1ow-faced Ananites; most of these French co1onials in fez and zouave outfit; along with the French poiIus in their gray-b1ue uniforms, soiled and grimey, and steelA casques; and

interest in the depot dec1opes," as it is ca11ed-an extensive organization run by slightly wounded men, Gen eraI Antoine originated the idea and it has spread all through the army, these depots back of the front doing scores of helpful little duties for the men on the firing line. Here there was an immense laundry turning out a wash of 10000 pieces.
 ''It helps the man iu the trench to have a clean shirt,'' said General An toine as he showed the stocks of fan mel shirts about to be returned to the men in front.
 There were kitchen gardens for fresh vegetables, forges for mending trench too1s,. armories for cleaning guns, a candle factory, and innum- erable other activities, all run by sol- diers who had lost a finger or the edge of an ear, or had some other slight wound temporarily incapacitat- ing them.
 At night the party became General Antoine's guests at the extensive pri- vate residence, requisitioned for army purposes, alongside headquartrs. It was evidently the home of well-con- ditioned family, with spacious cor riders lined with sculpture and paint tings. The dinner was cooked and served by soldiers, and even the menu card was a work of art done by a noted French cartoonist now serving as a soldier in the ranks.
 The American expedition to Mex ico came up for discussion as the party were leaving, and General An toine said:
 ''The experience of your army shows that cavalry is still an essen tia1 part of army organization. With our trench warfare the idea got about that mounted troops were thing of the past. But they will always be in dispensable for quick movements where elan and dash are needed, and particularly in a flat country. No, the Russians in Mesop opotamfa and~t Am mericans in Mexico are dem onstrat- ing that cavalry is one of the most effective weapons of offense.''

ORGANIZATION OF FRENCH ARMY AT FRONT MARVEL OF
 EFFICIENCY AND DISCIPLINE
Cabinet Minister Visits Fighting Men and Learns of System Superintended By General Antoine-Latter
 Finds Lesson In American Cavalry Dash Into Mexico

Headquarters, Tenth Army Corps, at the Front, France, June 16- General Antoine, Commander of the Tenth Army Corps, was bending over military map at his headquarters when M. PainAeve, a member of the French cabinet, was announced. Gen era1 de Castelnau, commanding the western front, had invited the Minis ter to visit the several corps headquar- ters near Verdun, ana had authorized the representative of the Associated Press to accompany the Minister. Two of General de Castelnau's personal staff, Major Camut and Lieutenant La guionie, acted as escorts to the party, and in the circuit of several hundred kilometers three army corps head quarters were visited-the Tenth Army Corps under General Antoine, the Fifth Army Corps under General HeIIouin, and the Third Army Corps under General Humbert-
 It was the first day of this trip pf iE+DAction, made under most fa- Vora Y5 auspices, designed to show the cab net officer the exact condition of affairs on the fighting Hne-the offen- Bive and defensive organization, the morale of the men, the condition of supplies and equipment, the trench warfare and the actual fighting on the front. M. Painleve, besides being a member of the Cabinet, had taken
 
 Chamber of Deputies on questions re- lattng to the military campaign, and this was to let him see at first hand just how that campaign was being con- ducted.
 The Commander of the Fifth Army Corps and the Cabinet officers ex- changed cordial greetings. General Antoine is a man of commanding pres ence, tall and athletic, little beyond middle age, with bronzed face and iron gray hair and moustache. He was in 1ight-blue service uniform, with high boots and spurs, the three stars on the sleeve indicating his high rank. Here in his headquarters the sur roundings were plain to the point of baroness. The room was small and the floor bare. A rough pine table was in the middle, with a detailed map stretched out, over which Gener- al Antoine had been studying. Other maps and photographs of sectors, trenches and various division of the works, were on the wall, and these, with a few pine chairs, made up the furnishings of the Corps Headquar- ters which is pushing forward the supplies to Verdun and the fighting front.
 M. Painleve was much interested in the large charts showing in detail the layout Of the fighting and reserve forces, and General Antoine, standing before the chart, pointed out the main points-Verdun- off to the right, then the Army Corps massed to the west, and then General Antoine's Corps doing the work of preparation and forwarding. as well as guarding a con siderable sector of the front.
 The photographs show the field better" said the General leading the way to a large room adjoining.
 A score of officers were at work

the other members being the chair men of the sub committees, represent ing the archdeaconries. This commit tee, is now ready to takeup the work of raising $30OOOO which the central committee thought was Connecticut's part of the $5,o0O, 900 fund. The amount would, be about 2 per cent. of the total.
 The total amount raised in the country up to yesterday was s, LOGO 900 of the &, 1000, 900 desired. It was hoped to close the fund by October when the general convention meets.
 A resolution reaff7rming the support of the diocese in the pension plan was adopted.
 The committee on Episcopal resi- dence reported through Rev. Dr. s. O. Seymour that the $15, ,0OO needed had been raised, and it was discharged.

Take Medieval View.
For ourselves, we take the middle
age or medieval view. The use OF pa
pers always has been n waste. The
slate was Just as good, except for the
paper manufacturers. The litter in
yolyed in using paper is worse than
the unclaimed slate, more trouble for
some one 10 put things right. And
when II comes 70 rival trust interests
the slate quarries are to be consid-
cred. They have bean hard hit in sew
eral different ways Of late years. Pat
ent roofing has almost banIshed slate
roofs. Artificial stone has nearly
wiped out the sale OF sidewalk paving.
The educators" have destroyed in the
"itica tkc demand for school states.
Hence the Quarries up Granville way
and elsewhere are in a state of de-
pl csRlon Revival OF the old school
slate will ACip them. Tho owners OF
these quarries are as good Americans
as the owners Of the paper combina-
ton, though they have not been quite
SO cleverly commended to the attention

The story that in the shortage Of
paper there Is hope for the Old school
slate seems TOO good to Be true. Yet
Il Is perhaps true that the board o.
superintendent has discussed this
possibility. and It certainly Ia true that
supplying the schools with paper is
exceedingly difficult.
Shocked at Waste.
Middle-aged men who never thought
Of school without slate for doing
sumo on we're shocked at the waste
when educators" brough, about the
abolition Of the slate. Paper is used
up fast, fast enough TO suit any paper
trust on earth The slate would SO
on forever If you didn't take a notion
10 ding II AZ teachers head, and un-
happily break il on her desk in
stead.
Educators" said the slate was noisy
dirty, demoralizing. They intimated
that slate and discipline were com
patIhle If you had plenty Of corporal
punishment, and not otherwise. They
worried when Jennie Jones drew a
caricature picture. and all who could
see giggled, and swift stroke OF the
sleeve made Jennie's conviction i'm.

The word is q good specimen OF
American humor. Because q political
orator holds his audience "spellbound'
he becomes a "spellbinder" and goes
about "spellhindIng." He used to call
It stump speaking, term that we no
longer have put in quotation marks
for, although It was once American
slang, it is now recognized English.
Eenglish.
September and October in presiden-
tial years are peculiarly tho season
for spell binding. But why should
candidates for the presidency, sena-
tors. members of ConRress and hun
dreds Of politicians Of lesser rank go
about the country making addresses in
halls, at fairs. in the open air, from
the rear platforms of railway trains
or rush through the cities in motor
cars in "whirlwind" campaigns?
theoretically. the object is to win
votes-to convert opponents. But did
any reader ever know OF man &C
customed to vote with one party who
was turned to the other by any argu-
ment in the mouth of a stump speaker?
Such cases may occur, but at best they
arc rare. II they represent the total
result Of elaborate spellbinding, then
spcllbinding is an absurd waste of
time, energy and less money.
But converting opponents is only
one object. and not the main object
at that In most communities where
The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1916-10-22

the voters are rather evenly divided
between the two parties there is a
considerable floating vote. and in COM
munitios where the division is one.
sided there are many voters who are so
sure that their votes arc not needed
that that they do not go to the polls. 1t
is to those two classes that the orator
directs his arts. Although he may put
his address into the form of an appeal
to the unconyerted. it is usually an
appeal in form only, and not in sub
stance. Stump speakers rarely pay
a decent respect 10 the intelligence OF
their opponents. Instead OF using
persuatlon and fair argument they
employ denunciation and abuse, so
that casual listeners OF the opposite
party go away angry and more parti-
san than before.
But excitement and enthusiasm, well
organized and promoted, undoubtedly
do help a party. A speaker ready of
tongue and of good presence, with an
audience eager to do its part in show
Ing enthusiasm, does have an effect
upon those who like to go with the
crogd, and upon sluggish ana halfz,n-
different members OF the party. BY
and by our orators may use more rea-
son and less dogmatism, more fact
and less claptrap. They might then
make some real conversions, but the
speakers themselves would not be so
picturesque
