Here is letter from VIM. C. Craw-

and | ask that it be published.
Co. X. 323rd Inf. U. S. A, Po. 79l.
American Expeditionary Forces,
Sept. 8, 1918.
My Dear Wife and Baby:-Just re-
ceived your most appreciated letter to-
day, written July 28. | surely was
glad to hear from you. | hope you
are getting my letters alright, | think
it takes them three weeks or more to
get toyou. | am feeling fine, and have
been all the while, it is surely a great
blessing to have good health.
What do the people think about the
war at home? We hardly know what
to think of it, some think it will last a
long time and others think it will soon
be over.
Suppose you are busy most OF the
time, there is nothing much for me to
do. Doris and go out with the sig
nal bunch every day, | feel that ! am
getting SO lazy, If | could get back
would be glad to go to work again,
We got some Red Cross kits the other
day that were right handy. They con-
tanned: pins, needles, thread, tooth
brushes, combs, knives, tobacco and
some few other things, we also have
sweaters and socks for winter, they
have not issued them all out yet,
think they came from New York.
How are the crops there? hope
everybody will make good crops, You
said it was awful warm there, it seems
like mid-fall here now.
You will notice my address is differ.
ent, we haven't moved just changed
the address. There are two small stores
here, ladies run them. They sell q
great deal of wine, tho it is not very
good. The Chaplain came over anc
preached for US Sunday. These people
here work on Sunday the same as any
other day in the week.
| thought maybe / would catch on tc
the French language in little while,
tho don't think now eyer will, This
surely is a strange country, don't see
how any American would want to stay
here. OF course there may be better
places in France. All the houses are
built of rock, the houses and barns are
built together, with rock fences around
che yard and lot, There is very little
fruit here, / have seen few apricots,
plums. grapes and blackberries.
Do not worry about me, | am getting
along alright, some day hope we
shall enjoy all the pleasures Of life to-
gether Oh, | do hope and trust II
won't be long before | can return to
you and baby.
We have plenty to eat all the time.
Have our pallets on the floor in some
vacant houses, they are made of wheat
straw. would hardly know how to
sleep on a real bed.
Remember | am thinking of you and
baby all the while. Write as often as
you can and tell me all the news.
Your true husband,
VIM. G.

are being fought today. As a result Italian aviation has established a new record in the history of industry.
 A New Born Industry.
 To the immense and famous Italian industrial centers, already strongly organized and active in general auto mobile construction, was added the new industry of aeroplane construc- tion. AS a result Italy today has over 10000 experienced workmen in this field, and her government possesses over 5000 military and naval planes and is supplying others to her allies by the hundreds. Many of the planes America has sent to the French front were made in Italy, and Italian planes are being shipped here for the training of our aviators.
 Such firms as Fiat have accomplish ed marvellous results in a short time. This concern turned out TOO H. P. aerial engine, and other firms devel- oped successful engines of 16O, 200 H. F., etc. The big Pomilio plant was erected in three months time Today there are more than 9 aeroplane fac tories in Italy, and that country has the distinction of producing the fastest aeroplane in the world, the fastest seaplane, the largest flying machine and the best climber.
 A great secret of Italy's success was the large and powerful engines she had already perfected in her automo- bile industry These engines, develop ing from 500 to TOO H. P. and later 900 H. P. and over, made possible the building of much larger planes than had ever before been supposed possi- b1e.
 Italy's aeroplane plants have been kept in operation, notwithstanding ad- verse conditions, such as lack of coal, when wood was substituted for power generation, and the buildings in which the people worked were so cold that varnish would not dry. Another great obstacle was the lack of chemicals Right here Italy pays a tribute to America. It was American raw ma terial that made this great develop ment possible.
 Record Breaking Planes.
 NeW ueSlgnS or aerOplaneS are being turned out constantly by the Italian factories. One of her machines produc- ed last year is capable of carrying Il tons. She has planes capable of carrying a crew of 25 men and is now develop ing one with capacity of 50 men and a horsepower of 5000. She also has planes capable of travelling more than 900 miles without a Ston One of the Italian type of machines carries nine

Italy is queen of the air. 1England's defense of the sea with her Mammoth Navy; Frances heroic infantry checking the first onrush of the Hun at the Marne and at Verdun i; America's vast contribution of ma terials and money in the past and of fighting reserves in the future, are matched by Italy's contribution to the allied air navy, which will determine as much as any one factor our final victory over the Teutonic Powers.
 The general public, amazed at the marvellous performances of Italy's air fleet during Cadorna's drive over the Alps, at the record breaking feats of Resnati, Laureati and D'Annunzio and at the wonderful mechanical achievements of the great Caproni and Pomilio planes, still have little realiza- tion of the vast scope of Italy's achievement in aviation since she en- tered the war three years ago.
 In February, 1915, there were in all Italy only 100 aeronautical workmen. When that country entered the war a few weeks later she possessed alto gether only 80 flying machines and those mostly of the French type. But the Italy of poets and singers is also the Italy of mechanical genius, of Mar conf and Tesla, of Caproni and Pc milo. Seeing with a clear vision that the fate of civilization lay largely In the supremacy of the air, and particu- larly the need of air defense for her own long coast line, her statesmen set out to build a new industry from the ground up. They gathered together vast number of men of energy and ere ative ability in order that they might bring their contributions of research, invention and technical knowledge to a development of those machines of offense and defense with which battles
Connecticut western news., 1918-07-18

In hydro-aviation the best Italian machine is the Macchi, that for recon naissance work, having a speed of over 100 miles an hour, and the fight ing machine having a speed of 125 miles an hour A Pomilio plant re- gently put out a 29O H. P. machine with a speed of 157 miles an hour capable of climbing 10000 feet In six minutes.
 Giovanni Caproni, creator of the fa- nous Caproni machine, is planning to build after the war a f1ier carrying 50 passengers, with which he expects to cross the Atlantic in AS hours In fact, he had hopes at one time of es- tablishing during the latter part of this year a Paris to Washington mail route, flying by way of Portugal, the Azores, Newfoundland and New York City. The longest leg of this trip over water is 1,195 miles, which, he says, is well within the range of the present Caproni machine. It would be a strik- ing repetition of history if the nation which gave us Columbus, the first man to sail to the new world by water, should also furnish the first to follow that route by air.
 Not only in building, but in handling aeroplanes have Italians excelled. One of the worlds records taken by an Italian was the feat of Captain Gfulio- Laureati who established new long distance flight record by flying more than 900 miles without stopping from Turin to Naples and return in August, 1917. Lieutenant Resnati as- tonished Americans during his flights here by going up 17,000 feet with 13 men on board at Newport News and by flying from Mineola to Langley Field, near Newport News, a distance of 322 miles, with ten passengers aboard
 Excel in DirigibIes Also.
 Not only in heavier than air ma chimes, but in the dirigible lighter than air type has Italy excelled- The For lanni dirigible has a record of lifting four tons of bombs 1S,373 feet as against the best Zeppelin record of 3,123 feet with similar load As submarine chaser her non-rigid type of dirigible has been very effective
 We cannot say what will happen in the very near future, but we can af- firm that Italian technical men, fully realizing the always increasing exigen- cies of war and the value of aviation in the war, are continuing to work for ever newer and more powerful types which will in the future enable Italy and her allies to keep that supremacy in the air. .

rapid-firin guns. Italian designers by synchronizing propeller revolutions with machine gun fire have placed ma chine guns on planes that fire 600 shots a minute through the propellers, which make 1,200 revolutions a min- ute, the calculation being such that no shots strike the propeller-one shot passing between the blades with every two turns of the propeller. In addi- tion to the machine guns a multitude of bomb throwing, position finding and other devices of great utility in battle and in bombardments have been per fected by Italian genius.
 Italy has developed the best type of machine for each class of war work Those for night bombardment are the Caproni biplane of 450 and 600 H. P. and the Caproni triplane of 800 H. P. These planes have an average speed of about 100 miles an hour and carry a large load of bombs. For day bom- bardment one of their most efficient machines is the Sia type, with one en- zine of TOO H. P, which develops an average speed of 125 miles an hour ana haS capac1ty TOT IOO pounuS o1 bombs.
 Glasses of Fighting Machines.
 One of the best Italian machines for reconnaissance work is the Pomilio two scatter of 300 H. P, with a speed of 125 miles per hour, carrying two machine guns and a large load of bombs. Similar to this is the 300 H. P. Sia. Besides this, they posses for rapid work a Sva biplane, a single scatter of 250 H. P. and a speed of 130 miles. Italy's best fighting planes are the Pomilio single scatter ard 280 H. P, with protective armpr and carrying two machine guns, wftf speed of 150 miles an hour, and tte Ansaldo single seaters of 250 H. P, with speed of 150 miles.
