WAR 7ORNFRANCE

Word has been received here from
J. H. Fischer, member Of the Hawaii
naval militia, describing conditions as
he found them in France. Fischer is
Swiss by birth and travelled extern
sively through France as a lad, so
that he notes the marked difference
there now. "
Prices charged the Americans are
twice as much as those to the French,
according to the letter, but the for
mer are glad to pay them in the be
lief that they are helping the cause,
Pastry is served only on Wednesday
and Friday, and there are number OF
meatless days during each month.
There are no middle-aged men In
the French towns, save for cripples,
he says. Work is done by old men
and women and young boys. All =,
the French people he saw looked sad
but determined, he writes. Shops and
stores close at 9 o'clock and everyone
must be off the streets by 10 o'clock al
night.
Fischer says the local boys with him
are well, and that H. w. Engle and
J. A. MCGOWAN Of the engineers divis
ion are especially popular with all the

American Armies IN Europe are to

War Department.

war made necessary the completion.

had previously been a four-year pro-
gram Of equipment Of the army Of
something like a million men, all told.
contemplated by the national defense
act of June 3, 1916. There was on
hand a certain supply Of small arms
and small arms ammunition, and there
were, fortunately, In existence plants
Of large capacity for the manufacture
of this class Of war supplies brought
into being by the demands Of the Eu-
ropean nations, which are our present
allies, and there were also plants OF
large capacity for the manufacture of
all kinds of field artillery ammunition
, which can be rapidly made available
for our own needs.

who have paid any attention to the Of

shortage has been the subject oi

ALLIED AIRMEN
GOOD Fighters
Says Britons Prove Ancestry
BY Their Evident Taste
For Battle
[By AssOcisted Prsssl

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 81.
Interesting comparisons OF British
French and German methods OF air
fighting were made recently by Gen.
eral Won Hoeppner, commander OF the
German flying forces, In an interview
with the Berlin correspondent OF the
Holland News Bureau. General Won
Hoeppner admitted that the air FORCES
Of the entente allies were superior on
the western front and In the Balkans,
but said that on the eastern front the
German airmen outnumbered their ao-
yersaries. Mere superiority In mum
bers, however, he professed to be.
lieye, meant nothing when compared
with the quality Of machines and OF
the men flying them. He ssued:
"The Frenchman is obviously not
to be placed on par with our air
men from the point OF view OF morale.
but IL IL Just in flying the Briton
proves that he is of German race and
therefore has q love OF fighting. In
general. the Frenchman only attacks
when he feels himself numerically 81.
perior. He avoids fight under equal
conditions. The Briton seeks the com
bat. The Frenchman only attacks
once; II the first attack be unsuc'
cessful he Immediately retires. The
Engiishman, on the other hand, fights

I'm their Spad aeroplanes OF zoo

chimes which mostly equal our best
machines. -. -
more important, however, than the
superiority of the machines Is that OF
the crews. The enemy battle airmen
are iust as much up to their Job as
ours. That IL not 80, however, with
the accommodating airmen. In the
case Of the French, their training,
which should be Of q purely military
character, Il mediocre; while with the
British II Ii even inferior. Here are

better performances Of our filters.
ssTo Britishers flying Is q sport, the
climax whereof Is q fight. They seek
the combat regardless Of the question
whether the carrying out OF the charge
entrusted to them renders this neces-

ment Of military tasks Is more i'm.

A final inquiry a. to who the Ger
mans prefer TO meet as enemies elicit
ed the response: That is e question
which may not be put. It is not the
sporting achievement, but the fulfill

main thing. With us every soldier
wants TO be a Boeicke-the death OF
his comrades does not brighten him.

for the production Of gun forgings, for
which the capacity was the most linn
tied and the requirements the most
special, and In addition to provide for
the greatest expansion Of existing
plants which the limits Of justifiable
dilution Of their organizations rem

In such manner as to interfere In the
least possible degree with the orders
Of our allied nations for gun forgings,
upon which they were and are still
relying for the maintenance in artil.

field. After providing for the enlarge

sary to take measures for the con-
struction Of new plants, making use
Of the personnel Of mechanical indus
tries somewhat similar to that Of
gunmaking, under the orgadizations
Of officials and employees which were
conducting them.
Advancement With France
Under these circumstances solJl-
ton has been found which, fortunate
ly, will 60 far toward meeting the sit
uation. The gun factories Of France
have been highly developed, and In
the matter of machining and assem-
bling guns and carriages, as distinct
from the manufacture Of the steel out
Of which they are made, some surplus
capacity has been attained which 10

necessities. The ordnance depart.
partment has taken advantage Of this
opening and has placed with the
French government orders for the
manufacture Of an initial supply Of
field pieces Of the most necessary
types, and Of the most thoroughly
demonstrated efficiency, namely, the
| 75 MN. gun and the 155 nm. howitzer

Will MOVE
Well Known Clothing Merchants Will
Occupy Room in Scofeld Block
After July l.

Bader & Rozen, clothing merchants,
are preparing to move from their pres
ent location, in the Tompkins block, to
the Scofield Block, south Main street,
where Smallwood's grocery is now To-
Gated, July 1. The Smallwood store
will soon occupy new quarters in the
new Ehr block.
The new room for Bader & Rozen
will be much better equipped for their
business. They will install complete
set of new fixtures and will have one
of the most up-to-d; tie clothing stores
in the city. They had lease for
three years on the room they occupy
at present, but as the present own
ers of the building, the Second Nation
al bank, are preparing to tear down
the structure to replace it with seven
or eight story building, they made ar
rangements for the new lease.
Bader & Rozen have been engaged
in business in Minot for the past
twelve years and have made big
success. They have always carried a
very dependable stock and enjoy the
confidence of a large number of Gus
toners. They came to Minot with
scarcely dollar, but have worked
hard and earned and saved their
money.
