IN RAIN OF SHELLS
CHAUFFEUR TELLS HOW HE GOT
 AWAY FROM YPRES.
Occasion Demanded the Taking of Desperate Chances and Fortune Was With Driver Who Dared
 to ChalIenss Fate.

While serving as staff motor driver, was caught with an officer in the city of Ypres, at the beginning of the bombardment preceding the sec ond battle for Calais, writes William J. Robinson in the Atlantic Monthly. We were at the farther side of the city when the shells began to fall, and as we had come up on horses there was no way for US to get through. hunted round and presently came across car "a wretched specimen; still, it could be called car. It had once been an ambulance, but the body had been de- stroyed and replaced by a couple of rough bucket seats built from bacon boxes.
 Such as it was, 1t was a lucky find, and I seized on it at once. After some difficulty got the engine running halt ingly, and brought the car round to where my officer was waiting. We started off immediately. By this time the shells were bursting in and around the Grande place at the rate of forty a minute, and our chance of getting through at all was long one. I worked up speed as fast as I could, so that by the time we got to the square we were doing between thirty and forty miles an hour.
 In the square itself conditions were indescribable. The buildings were crumbling on all sides; the air was filled with smoke and flame and dust, to say nothing of flying fragments of shell and bricks, and 1t was impossible to see more than few yards ahead. It seemed incredible that we could get through. slackened speed.
 My officer must have felt much as I did, but he rapped out, Drive like hell!" and huddled down into his bacon-box seat, his head held low I threw open the throttle; the car choked bit, then responded with leap. the steel-studded tires striking streams of sparks from the eobbles. My hands were more than full with the steering. AS one leaves the square there comes very sharp turn, and 1 dared not think what would happen when we reached this. At the speed
 
 twist the car round that corner, yet 1 it would be suicide to slow down. I had read of the trick of racing drivers, who skidded round ''hairpin turns" and I decided to try this as our only chance.
 The turn loomed up before us in the smoke, and I opened the throttle still wider. Just as we reached the corner twisted the wheel slightly and damned on the foot-brake with all my might. The skidding studs squealed as the rear end of the car shot over; l felt her tip little as the two outside wheels came off the ground. She lighted at once, though, and in a mo- ment we were safely through. If I had had time to examine those bacon box seats I don't think should have dared to carry out my little maneuver. It Is still a mystery to me how they held under the fearful strain of round ing that corner

MAN PULLED FLOW
 IN DEMONSTRATION
FARMER BOY suLkY FLOW POINT WENT FIVE INCHES IN SOIL, YET MAN PULLED IT
 QUITE EASILY.

One of the most unique demonstra- tions of blowing was held last week at Judsonia by the Southwestern Sup ply Company. The demonstration was held under the direction of Albert Glover, merchant at Judsonia, who handles the lines of the Southwestern Company
 About 160 farmers attended. and the chief feature was the demonstra- tion with a Farmer Boy sullxy blow, to which a man was harnessed. The man easily pulled the blow along, even with the points five inches in the soil. The object of the demonstration was to show the light load on the horse attached to such a blow.
 All kinds of blows made by the J.. l. Case Company were also demon strated at Judsonia.
 The Southwestern company also made a demonstration of the Ad- vance-Rumley S-16 kerosene eonsum- ing tractor at the old Mills place near Little Rock during the past week. A large crowd of farmers watched this machine, with the blows always be- fore and in sight of the operator, turn up heavy and wet soil to a depth of Il inches The tractor moved right along with it's two 14-inch bottom blows, and the engine ran as smooth ly on kerosene as most tractors do on gasoline.

IN RETIREMENT FROM OCCUPIED TERRITORY THE GER
DESTROYED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF AGRlcUL-
TURAL MACHINERY

Of industrial activity that will be re-
Quired and that Is in part already
planned, offer peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives Of Amer
lean engineers and business men In this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect, the enlistment of American
money and effort in the great task of
reconstruction that will remain at the
end of the war will tend to, cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great Republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge In part
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress of the United States from
the beginning of its life as ma
ton.
In judging the industrial status Of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption Of coal, iron, and steel and
the growth of its transportation sys-
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1869, French industries consumed
21 million tons of coal, Of which 1875
millions were taken from home mines.
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil
lions, of which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output Of cast
iron was 1,38O,OOO tons, and of steel,
100000 tons. In 1914. France pro-
duced 5,311.OOO tons of cast iron and
4,635,O tons Of steel.

I of the United States and Of France en-
titled to as much respect as those Of
the mightiest empire. In defense of
these principles, France is engaged in
death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and it is
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend
ly states 1000, 100000 francs with which
to further the cause of democracy. 1t
Is In keeping with Americas traditions
that since the date on which we for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies In the great struggle, our
Governpent has lent to France $780,
100000.
1t is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 40 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse of King Louis himself came the
first loan to America-unsecured and
unconditional-to fnance that historic
undertaking. 1t was with entire just
tiee that Washington wrote to Rocham-
beau, ITO the generous aid Of your ma
tion and to the bravery Of it's sons is
to be ascribed in very great degree
that indenandancp for which we have
fought"
