Yosemite during the fight, as Il ap-
pears in the book:

about 5 80 o'clock on the morning OF
Tuesday. June %, we sighted q steam

distant. - The Yosemite was
headed for the stranger See
ing our intention. the steamer was In
stantly headed for the shore and
beached on the reef, six miles to the
westward OF MORO Castle. The
Yosemite remained in the vicinity Of
this position for some time, during
which shell and shrapnel were dis.
deemed that the steamer was suffici-
emily disabled the Yosemite steamed
for a Spanish cruiser and gunboat
which had come to the relief OF the
beached steamer During this period,
was much surprised to find that the
guns OF MORO and the water battery
below il had the exact range OF the
Yosemte's position and were effective
at that distance Many pro-
jectiles OF large calibre passed over
the Yosemite . and although the
enemy made excellent line shots, some
very near TO the ship, she was not
struck once. .. . Our fire seemed to
be very effective and made the Span
ish cruiser join her consort, the gun
boat in seeking shelter under the
guns OF MORO. 80 The spirit and
behavior OF the officers and crew was
in every way highly commendable."

ton OF the anniversary this year. How

Production Stage Ahead d
Transportation Fa-
cilitfeS.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-FToduc-
tion Of American aircraft now has
reached a stage where it is being linn
tied practically only by facilities for
transporting the airplanes to France
The production OF Liberty motors dur
ing October reached a stage of 1000
a week. goal which had not been
hoped for at least until December.
The latest official compilations
show that since June approximately
$500 fighting airplanes of all de-
scriptions have been shipped to the
American forces in France. When IT
is realized none of the belligerents at
any one time since the beginning or
the war has had more than $500 air
planes actually in service, the signifi-
canoe of an American production or
2L0O planes in five months becomes
apparent These .25O0 planes included
nearly $50 heavy bombers and the re-
mainder were planes of all classes.
including observation machines and
day bombers
Reports from all the production
centers show the result rapidly grow
ing. The American forces have been
moving so rapidly during the last few
weeks that it has been found neces-
sary to give up some of the transpor-
tation space which was intended for
airpIanes 10 other material
The reports showed there were
more American airplanes awaiting
shipment at points of embarkatlon
than could be loaded.
In speaking of fighting airplanes'
the singe-seater plane, in which are
fought the spectacular duels of the
air is not included. These types are
changing SO rapidly that officials say
/. never will be practical to build them
elsewhere than almost upon the bat
tlefield. All the Americanlbui
planes. however. are fighting planes
armed and equipped to care for them
selves on the duty for which they are
designed.
