back. Every line Of communication
within the German salient is under

for luck, that in Italy, Italian SOL
diers come to their camps to touch
one of them SO it will bring them
good luck, too. A remarkable story
is told of California man who got
lost in the clouds and later in CEN
trail Italy. He started out for an
altitude, and got up so high in the
clouds that he was unable to deter
mine whether he was flying toward
land or away from it, or whether the
earth was above or below him. When
he finally got slaughtered out he
landed in some village square, where
it took several hours to make the
Italian authorities understand that
he was not an Austrian flyer. When
he finally returned to his camp he
found he had flown nearly hundred
and fifty miles away.

rates in less than car lots so per cent
more than car lot rates and this bur
den would have to be borne by the
small producer.
