WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

army engineers working in the region
Of Gouzeaucourt Joined the fighting
ranks Of their British allies yesterday
and helped them stem the onslaught
which resulted in GouZeaucoUrt being
enyelopcd for a time.
Many OF the Americans were caught
in the German turning movement about
GoUZeaucourt. and only escaped death
or capture by lying concealed for hours
in shell holes until the British had sue
ceeded in pushing the invaders back.
Hundreds Of other men from overseas
we're subjected to tremendous shell
fire from enemy artillery, and great
Quantities of gas shells were thrown IN
the territory where they were working.
The German attack was made with
greatly superior numbers, and every
available man was needed on the Brit
ish side 10 arrest its onward sweep.
The Americans sent every ounce 81
their strength 10 this task, both as
fighting men and as workers, and the
important part which they played has
drawn the highest praise from the
British authorities.

KANSAS CITY, MO-, July % "A
great deal Of history of our great south
west has been made alike by men who
came here to seek fortune and by others
who were sent here by reason Of their
capacities for doing big things.
A most significant example Of this
latter instance is the recent appoint
ment of Mr.. G.. o. Simpson as manager
of the interests Of The B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company in Kansas, Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Western Missouri and Southern Me-
braska, with his Office in Kansas City.
This territory is the largest in the
United States, coming under the direct
supervision Of any of the Goodrich
Branch Managers, and in this connec-
tion 1t is interesting TO note how tho
big business institutions Of today train
their young men for such positions Of
, responsibility.
Mr.. Simpson g experience with tho
big rubber company began in Decem-
Der, 1902, when he was second assistant
paymaster at the factories in Akron.
AS late as September, 1905, he had his
first sales experience as a salesman in
the Boston Branch of the Goodrich Com
pany. His training and success as .
salesman did not pass unnotieed for in
February, 1907, promotion came in his
appointment as Assistant Manager Of
the Philadelphia Office, at that time one
of the most important posts in the OF
ganization.
In less than three years be had 30
completely mastered the details and
problems confronting an assistant man
ager that he was advanced and became
Manager of the big Philadelphia
Branch which also had supervision over
the territory including Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, Southeastern Pennsyl-
vania and portions Of New Jersey.
It is an established and proven theory
among the nations big business men,
that in order to develop successful men
in any organization il is necessary to
give them added responsibilities from
time to time. This has been partieu-
larly true of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company, for like Mr.. Simpson, prae-
tieally every official of this big com
pany made his start in an ineonspicuous
| position at the factories at Akron.
nHtu u NudhEt III lnb mdndEtmtnt OF
the great southwest territory was first
contemplated Goodrich officials decided
that such responsibilities should rest
with man who had given evidence Of
being able to cope with and shoulder
them, and still have capacity for 20
ing even greater things.
In an interview, shortly after coming
TO Kansas City recently, Mr.. Simpson
said "Like other easterners I had
heard a great deal Of the great south
west, but back in Pennsylvania and the
eastern states where the industries are
so thiekly settled, had no idea Of the
immense resources of this territory.
Imagine my surprise, when after travel
ing, practically through the big steel
mills and business sections of tie east,
on my first trip here, 70 find that the
southwest is really the larLer Of the
nation not only in the production Of
grains but Of oil. The wheat fields Of
the east in comparison with those Of
the southwest are mere war gardens
and this comparison applies as well to
the oil fields
