STRANGE War Craft.

Plans for one Of the strangest wal
vessels we proposed have been sub
mltted to the council Of national de-
Tense, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The craft is an enormous ocean
going water wheel that is intended to
perform much the same service for the
navy as the British and French tanks
have for the allied armies. Although
highly visionary and entirely untried,
it has novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
Ambitious to a certain degree, 1t Is
theoretically capable of great speed.
Essentially it consists of two big con.
nected cylinders that are supplied
around their outer rims with adjusta-
BILE paddles, The horizontal axle Of
fers space for a crew and Is gyro-
scopically stabilized to support a fight
Ing mast. Opposite ends of the axis
are utilized as gun turrets.

Bomb Raid by Shell-Light

The picture Of a night attack executed by the
English on a German trench In France Is drawn
in the Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable:
The hour chosen for the raid was just about
dusk. There was no extra-special preparation
Immediately before 1t. The guns continued to
pour In their fire, speeding 1t up a little, perhaps,
but no more than they had done a score Of times
in the last "a hours. The infantry clambered out
Of their trench and filed out through the narrow
openings In their own wire entanglements.
"Out in front a faint whistle cut across the roar
Of fire. They're Off said the forward officer into
his phone, and n moment later a distinct change
In the note Of sound of the overhead shells told
that the fire had lifted, that the shells were pass.
ing higher above his head, to fall farther back in
the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch
into which the infantry would soon be pushing.
For a minute or two there was no change in
the sound of battle. The thunder of the guns
continued steadily 4 burst Of rifle or machine
gun fire cracked as spasmodically.
Men gulped in their threats or drew long
breaths of apprehension that this was the begin
ming of discovery of their presence in the open,
the first of the storm they knew would quickly
follow. But there were no more shells for the
moment, and the rattle Of machine gun fire d.
minished and the bullets piped thinner and more
distant as the gun muZzle swept around. The in
fantry hurried on, thanKful Tor every yard made
In safety.
But at the attacking point the infantry we're
almost across when the storm burst, and the
shells for the most part struck down harmlessly
behind them. The men were into the fragments
Of broken wire, and the shattered parnpet doomed
up under their hands a minute after the first she'll
burst. Up to this they had advanced In silence,
but now they gave tongue and with wild yells
leaped at the low parapet, scrambled over and
down into the trench. Behind them q few forms
twisted and sprawled on the broken ground, but
they were no sooner down than running stretcher
bearers bounced on them, lifted and bore them
back to the shelter of their own lines.
In the German trench the raiders worked and
fought at desperate speed. but smoothly and or
what was Clearly a settled and rehearsed plan.
There were few Germans to be seen, and most Of
these cr0uched dazed and helpless, with hands
over their heads. They were promptly seized,
bundled over the parapet, and told by word or
gesture to be off. They waited for no second bid
ding. but ran with heads stopped and hands above
their heads straight to the British line. one or
two men doubling after them as guards. Some
of the prisoners were struck down by their own
guns shellfre. and these were just as promptly
grabbed by the stretcher bearers and hurried in
under cover.

Home Service on n scale 80 grand that ii Is
bound to have a heartenlng effect on the whole
French military organization, for the French sol
diers fight better when they know their loved
ones are being cared for,
In furtherance of this great scheme, designed TO
bring comfort and cheer In the family of every
French soldier that Is needy, General Pershing,
General Petain, commander in chief Of the French
forces, and Maj. Gen. M. p. Murphy, American Red
Cross commissioner, have formed themselves into
a committee of cooperation. Company officers will
go through their ranks and ascertain from each
soldier whether he has any worry on his mind
concerning sickness or want at home. Reports
will be made to headquarters weekly and not a
single case will be overlooked In the relief work
that Is to be guided by the addresses Of families
listed. Special attention will be given to the treat
ment and prevention of tuberculosis, which has as
sumed proportions almost as deadly as the Internal
machinery Of war itself. Food and clothing Will
be supplied when necessary and the spirit and
courage Of the previously depressed soldier In the
trenches will be ~eniivened by the news that his
family Is having Its wants attended to.
