AIRPLANEs SAVED FRANCE.
They Proved Their Great Value After
the Belgian Invasion Began.

aHad it not been for the French mfr

the Worlds Work, France would have
been destroyed I'm the first few weeks
of the great world war.
-eFor years the French general star
had expected an attack through Bel.
Qium. The strategic railroads which the
Germans were so painstakingly build
ing up to the Belgian frontier could
convey no other meaning. Yet the
Frenchmen still believed that the main
onslaught would come across the
French frontier and had made their
plans for their greatest resistance in
this region. France entered the war
with only about 100 army airplanes,
but Germany, which had foreseen the
part this new instrument was TO play.
had much larger equipment.
"Yet a few days after the Belgian
invasion began French aviators flying
near the Belgian-German frontier saw
a sight that Immediately caused a

Germans were crossing the frontier In
enormous numbers, and the fact be-

territory, from Belgium to Paris and

calculations which had been so care

eattIe.hip, and Paint.

Our battleships literally eat paint.
The initial color requirements for q
new battleship cost about 5000
which is the price Of about hundred
tons Of the kind Of paint the navy uses.
In addition to this, according to the
Popular Science Monthly, It is custom
airy to repaint the different parts of q
ship two or three times a year, SO the
annual upkeep probably exceeds this
sum. This brings the annual outlay In
paint for the entire feet to $1,000. 900.
The most important coating a vessel
receives Is the paint applied to the sub
merged parts OF the hull to protect It
from corrosion or barnacles.

There are sometimes places on the

gets worn of and which cannot be re-

seek PROCESSES
FOR MAKING { COKE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 15-New pro-
cesses for making coke are being
sought by the government. Secre-
tary Redfield today announced he has
authorized the bureau Of standards to
make experiments with two methods
for cooking high-volatile coke, the Kop-
pers method, used by a plant in St.
Paul, Mimi, and the Roberts process,
in operation at Canal Dover, Ohio,
either Of which, if proved commercial
ly practicable, would increase greatly
the output of by-product coke by per-
hitting the use Of coal hitherto con-
sidered unsuited for coking. Trans
portation conditions also would bene-
fit. it is said, through the utilization
Of coal from almost any district in
stead of that from the restricted area
where coking coal now is produced
Laboratory tests of the Roberts
process virtually are complete and
the bureau of standards expects to
take over operating of the Canal
Dover ovens soon with the consent of
the owners for further experimental
ton.
