WEDGE AT BASE OF
HINDENBURG LINE

London, Nov. 3.--Withdrawal of
German forces from the high ground
of the Chemin Des Danes, officially
announced in last nights Berlin war
office report, may forecast another
general strategic retreat" on the west
ern front.
The full extent of the German with
drawal in the Aisne sector was not
apparent today. The operation. how
ever, was hailed by observers here as
a bloodless victory by General Petain.
which may prove to be Of tremendous
import.
The last French drive of ten days
ago, inserted a wedge at the very base
Of the Hindenburg line, where that

order for $50 Argus motors has been

simultaneously with this speed up
program in manufacture, Germany is
experimenting to improve her output.
Among the newer types now being put
out is 200-horsepower fighting mon
oplane and a triplane Fokker. A new
bombing plane has also been devel-
oped-a two-engined machine with a
carrying capacity of 1900 pounds of
bombs. The motors are Mercedes type,
and when fully loaded
the planes are capable of climbing a.
900 feet in 35 minutes.
SHORTAGE OF WOOD.
Germany now figures an airplane is
worn out" after $50 hours of flight. At
present her greatest weakness in man
ufacture is the propeller, as the Ger
mans do not seem to have a sufficient
supply of the proper wood.
To provide the necessary pilots for
the new German aviation program, the
military authorities are offering ex-
ceptional facilities for all volunteers.
Some idea of the degree OF perfec-
tion which the Germans are endeavor-
ing to put into their new program may
be gathered from the fact that a new
German plane recently forced to land
on French soil was equipped with an
electrical apparatus for drying the
clothing and gloves of the aviator and
at the same time furnishing current
for wireless communication.

NEW RIM AND WHEEL
FOR AMERICAN FLIERS

San Francisco, Nov. 3.-Adoption by
the Society Of Automobile Engineers,
sitting in Washington, of the Palmer
rim and wheel for aeroplanes affirms
once more the desire Of the war de-
partment and agencies working With it.
to unity all military equipment used
by the allies on the western front. The
Palmer rim and wheel is at present
used on all British aircraft and by
adopting 1t for use on our planes 1T
makes it possible in the event of an
accident, either to a British or to an
American machine, while landing, to
place-immediately a shattered wheel
with a standard one.
The B. f. Goodrich Rubber company
is the sole licensees of the Palmer tire
in this country and it was at the sug
gestion of the Goodrich company that
the society unanimously accepted the
British rim and wheel for recommen-
dation to the government.
