MADE GAS MASK LONG
BEFORE WAR STARTED
Visitor to War Front Finds
One Dated in 1913.

London.-Dr. Fort Newton, describ-
ing at the city temple visit he paid
to the western front in company with
| other Americans. at the invitation Of
the war office, said some racy things
I'VE had" he said, been watching
tremendous bombardment from shell
and on the way back one of our party
formerly of Chicago. picked up a Ger
man gas mask. He at once began to
swear, and he knew how. AS these
masks were common we asked why he
swore. Look at the date, he replied.
On the mask was Made in Germany,
1919 We said, Go on with your
swearing. Is that the best you can
dor"
The bombardment, DR.. Newton said.
was hopeless to describe. Imagine"
he said, ten million gigantic tin pans
being beaten all at once close to you
and you might get some idea. And not
one man was visible.
Realizes Wars Hardship.
Il was glad it rained every day
wanted to see war in its bedraggled
reality and to see what those gallant
men have to put up with every day.
Since have, have little patience with
any complaint any one can make at
home The artillery men we sleep
ing on their horses, swaying in the
rain, and the word written over the
whole scene was WEAKNESS, monotony
unspeakable fatigue.
Our General Sherman said that war
was he'll. That day ] thought it was
mud-sloppy, sloppy mud, measureless
mud, infinite mud.
"0ne man I'm the trenches gave me
an account of the welcome of the
Americans. containing the phrase The
enemy now has as much chance as a
lame canary at cat show
There were mysterious signboards
on the Belgian part of the front They
appeared every half mile, with two
words, Thank you 1t was the Bel
gian courtesy and gratitude to thoce
who had come to their aid.
Officers Always Gentlemen.
"The English officer is always gen
| tleman. You cannot make him any
thing else. For any one having sense
OF humor it was enough to make a
| wooden man laugh to see the solicit
tude, the earnestness and the eager
| ness with which those admirable fell
| lows tried to entertain men with whose
| tastes and ways OF thinking they were
| unfamiliar.
English and Americans are trying
| to get acquainted with one another
1t must appear strange that two classes
of beings SO unlike each other speak
the same language. Emotion is giver
to the American to express, to the
Englishman apparently to suppress
The Isnglishman hides his deepes,
thoughts in impenetratabie reserve"

Profit taking by shorts was mainly
responsible for the advance of oats.

CLASSIFICATION

THE Committee on Classification of
Il Personnel was authorized by the
Secretary of War August 5, 1917. The
work of the committee is thus sum-
married.:
A personnel Office for enlisted men
has been established in each division
IN this country and in several in
France. A card catalogue system fur
nlshes Immediately available informa
ton as to the educational, occupa-
tional, and military qualifications of
every man. With minimum clerical
work, this system has selected 1O9,4 ,487
men for transfer out of the divisions,
largely into technical units in the Staff
Corps, and many more for transfer
within the division
central personnel bureau makes
possible the prorating of requisitions
among divisions according to their
supply of necessary men. To date
acquisitions for 59,793 men have been
handled here, and information has
been supplied concerning the occupa
tional qualifications, at given time
of all the men in the several divisions
or depot brigades

100000 year for horse~drawn vehicles
and harness.
In the remount division the total
expenditures since the beginning of the
war have amounted to $44,952,3 ,349SS,
not including s1o,155,se3 for leather
equipment.
The expansion of the fuel and forage
requirements of the army, which are
met by the Quartermas Corps, is
represented by the difference between
s5,700,000, which was expended for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1916, and
s569, 1882, ,120, the expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1919.
At the beginning of the war the
Quartermastcr Corps had about 5000
motor trucks, 45O automobiles, and 6'o
motorcycles. Much was in bad condi-
tion.
The first extensive purchases were
In June, 1917, when $3.50 trucks were
acquired. These were confined to four
proved commercial makes. Soon after,
to simplify repair and maintenance,
the design of standardized truck, of
interchangeable parts, specially devised
for heavy military duty, was begun.
Design of the first truck was completed
in October, and 10000 were ordered.
Production began in January, 1918, in
five months from the beginning of the
work. Two other designs of less ca
pacity were prepared and are ready
for production.
Standardization was also applied to
the trailers, motorcycles, bicycles, ma
chine-shop trucks, tank trucks, and
much other automotive equipment. Pur-
chases were made for current needs to
the following extent: Passenger cars,
$500; motorcycles, 6,126; bicycles
5,040. The standardized designs for all
of these have been completed and are
ready for production.
The repair shops to maintain this
equipment are keeping pace with the
production and purchases.
In three months the cantonment di-

been necessary to meet this pro-
gramme. Flying fields have been built,
some of them with site selected, ground
cleared and levelled hangers and quar-
ters erected, and telephone, transporta-
ton, drainage, ETC., installed in five
weeks time. So far as possible, they
form the basis of strategic network
of fields distributed over the country
along the main proposed aviation
routes, and options were arranged to
provide for permanent purchase at any
time within three years at stated
price, if desired, as future aviation
centres.
While this enormous educational sys-
tenn was being built up, American fly
ing cadets were sent to allied coun-
tries, almost the advance guard of
Americas military forces, and have
now been in training for months in
Canada, England, France, and Italy
The first few have already gone over
the German lines and have downed
their first German plane
The problem of equipment has been
more time-consuming problem. Last
April only one company in the United
States was anywhere near quantity
production of training planes, and bat
tie planes were an unknown quantity.
Now over a score Of large companies
have been encouraged and assisted in
taking up the production of planes,
ebout fifteen the production of engines,
and over 400 other companies have
been organized to provide the neces-
eary source for spare parts, acces-
series, and other essential supplies.
Over forty times the number of
planes accepted by the government last
year have been accepted this year, suf-
6cient to keep even with the demands
FOR training, and monthly rate OF pro-
luction reached five times the total
1916 output. New companies also are
jteadily coming into production.

getting them underway and keeping
them in efficient condition, as we'll as
for many of these activities which add
TO the comfort and the health of the
crew.
For instance, the bureau is rcspon-
siblc for an abundant supply OF fresh
water. which in a battleship is cuuiva-
lent to the requirements of good
sized village. 1t provides machines
Tor the manufacture of ice and for
cooling refrigerating rooms, so that a
supply of fresh meat may be available.
1t provides power for the electric light
ing OF a ship and for searchlights and
electric power for hundreds OF pur-
poses, embracing activities ranging
from operating turrcts to turning ice
cream freezers. 1t heats ship by
steam and through the intermediary Of
electric heaters and supplies steam and
electric power for cooking. 1t provides
portable electric fans for ventilatinr
spaces not sufficiently served by the
main system OF the ship, and all kinds
OF electrical communication, including
a complete telephone service. 1t is
responsible for the sanitary service of
the ship.
1t supplies the machinery, whether
steam or gasolcne, for the small boats
used for transportation between the
ship and shore. In order that ships
may be able to do great part Of their
own repairs, it provides machine
shop with facilities suited to the par
ticular ship, and in order to provide
TOR repairs beyond the capacity of in
dividual ships, it couips special repair
ships, capable of executing work of
large proportions.
