aircraft burned together.
Both the French and British general
STATS realized that without its "eyes"
the Italian army might wander into
traps and pitfalls. And they gave the
order at once to REINFORCE the Italian
aviation service with their own es-
cadrilles. The order went out to all
the aviation camps and schools In
England and France. Within a few
hours the orders were being executed.
Pilots having passed their brevets
were mustered out on the fields. They
were told to wear two leather and rub

garment they usually wear. The gasO-
line tanks were filled and they were

Some of the British machines went
clear across England, traversed the
channel. then scared over France and
scaled the Alps and proceeded straight
on to the TagliamentO line without
ever descending. French machines
flew from remote corners of the re-
public over the great mountain range
and across the plains of LOmbardy to
Udine, arriving there before the Ital-
ians were forced to retreat from that
strategic railway center.

people stand.
Are the people Of France war-weary?
Yes; so are those Of all Europe. But
they are not weary to the point OF
even thinking of giving up the strug-
gle, despite, or. rather, because of, the
fact that Of all the allies Frances bur-
dens and her sacrifice In blood and des-

In a tour Of the war zone and of the
provincial towns behind the lines, from
the channel to Switzerland, one may
find everywhere abundant evidence of
a relentless determination, among both
soldiers and homefolks. to see the
thing through.
But the predominant sentiment In
France today Is one Of intense graft

ALL BR|T0NS TO DO THEIR BIT"

The case is being laid before the
British people now in the very SIM
plest terms. Not only is everybody
urged to eat the least possible amount
Of food necessary to maintain good
physical condition but everybody Is
told that he must wear his clothes
longer, must be satisfied with patched
boots, must cut down his expenditures
for every kind of luxury. for amuse-
ment.
But that is only the beginning. The
hands that would have been occupied
in making the new dress that my lady
is not going to buy and that therefore
will not be made; the fingers that
would have employed themselves pre-
pairing the confectiOn of 4 hat that is
going to be fOrswOrn; the skill and
handicraft that would have found oc-
cupation producing suits of clothes

of another kind; employment at pro-
ducing the things necessary, and alb
sOlutely necessary, to national life and

USE FOR BREWERIES
[From The Milwaukee Journal.


"If the brewers want to perform
a real patriotic service at this time
they will at once convert their brew
cries into dehydrating plants,' de-
clared Miss Lutte e. Stearns, in an
address before the Milwaukee County
Nurses Association the other day.
THE problem of providing food
for 1 " million American soldiers
now in France and the millions more
who are soon to go, is a staggering
one" continued Miss Stearns.
Each soldier eats twice as much
while on duty as he does at home.
There D also the loss of food through
the sinking of ships by submarines.
Potatoes, carrots, turnips. prac-
tically all vegetables can be dried
and preserved indefinitely. They
take up much less space and are
easily and quickly prepared for use
and cannot be told from the fresh
article. One hundred and eighty
pounds of potatoes when dehydrated
weigh only forty pounds. In this,
shape, not only the loss from de-
cay and freezing is prevented. but
there is an immense saving in trans
portation."
