FLYING DEVELOPMENT
Has Been Remarkable During the Past
Ten Years.

London, Oct 20 Correspondence of
the Associated Press NO other devel
opment in human history has shown so
remarkable results as has flying in the
last ten years, says Lord Montagu of
Beaulieu, q British scientist and avia-
ton expert.
when the Wright brothers visited Eu-
rope ten years ago, he said, "the air.
plane engines were of "a horsepower To
day they are of $50 horsepower in some
cases, and the airplane's carrying capa
city has increased from about 1875 pounds
to three and one-half tons.
"Ten thousand feet was then the high
est fight. To-day we are doing 10000.
And while 40 miles an hour was then the
highest speed, to-day we are approaching
l60
"The British army in France began
with only 80 planes. ! may not give the
number to-day, but it is huge"
Long fights-to and from America, for
instance would be possible after the
war, Lord Montagu said, adding that he
himself hoped some day to fly to India.
For long distance flying, however, he
continued it would be necessary to evolve
a silent engine, for the public would not
be willing to take lengthy trips in noisy
airplanes.

London, Oct 26.--( Correspondents Of
the Associated Press Enlisted men Of
the American army grinned sympatheti-
cally as they watched the American sec
rotary of war, Newton d. Baker, trudg-
ing back and forth carrying the heavy
pack of the American soldier, on his
back, when he visited a camp OF Ameri-

while in England The men were ad :
justing their cumbersome kits when the
secretary arrived at the camp.

the secretary to the sergeant.
The lord mayor of Winchester, the
camp commandant and a group OF SOL
diers all gathered about as Mr.. Baker
lifted the pack and adjusted it 10 his
shoulders. Then he trudged back and
forth two or three times carrying the
seventy pound load while pair OF heavy
bob-tailed trench boots, swinging from
the bottom of the kit, banged against
his legs.
Its heavy, alright" he commented as
he umburdened himself, "but not so heavy
as the Frenchman's pack. tried one Of
them on a few days ago and it gave me
an additional respect for the Frenchman
as soldier"
The secretary made himself at home
and was friendly with the soldiers. Ev-
erywhere he carried his pipe and several
times filled it from some soldiers pouch
as he engaged in casual chat with
the men. "The whole country is behind
you with everything it possesses" was
one of his frequent messages to the
fighting men. In the Red Cross hospitals
the secretary went through the wards
and had few CHEEKY words for each
of the patients.
In some of the camps he dropped in
upon the soldiers at mess times and
lunched with the big crowd Of them in
the mess tent beside little woodland
stream. He looked through scores of
barracks and living quarters. He inspect.

watching soldiers playing scrub game

CASTLE CALLED wARSHIP.
Stands at American Naval Base in a
French Port.


American Naval Base, France, Oct. &c
correspondence of the Associated Press j.
The united States ship Garcia" a
craft that never went to sea and never
will, vessel with stone walls, under
ground dungeons, 20 miles of tunnel and
"a vast hulk of masonry anchored to
mother earth, is one of the sights at
this port.
1t is a massive castle standing at the
waters edge that bears this strange
name. It is an ancient chateau, built 600
years ago, in the 18th century, and one
of the marvels of Gothic architectural
construction. 1t is used now as the Unit
ed States naval barracks, and being put
to naval uses it was given naval christ
ening as the U. S, S. Garcia. 1t is no
nickname, but is the accepted title known
to ALL officers and men.
Being christened as United States
ship, even the battlements have become
decks. When down in the old dungeon, a
sailor guided me upward by saying:
"This way, sir, to the main deck"
And we climbed up the "hatchway" of
erumbling stones to the main deck" of
Gothic masonry IL feet thick.
The way this castle came to be named
as United States warship was this:
The United States ship Garcia is in real.
ity small steam yacht, used during the
Spanish war 1t was rather out of date
and was tied up to the castle wall Here
it became very useful in making out req
uisitions for supplies needed in the castle
To make requisition for castle would
seem quite irregular And so everything
was requisitioned for the United States
ship Garcia, and in that way the castle
got its equipment without disturbing any
formalities.

THE WORRIED SOLDIER

He was dreaming through the drill
ing; he was half a step behind;
He was marching like a soldier who
had something on his mind
And the colonel who was watching as
his boys were on review,
Couldn't understand the trouble; but
the sergeant-major knew.
Once he broke the line by missing the
command to make wheel
And they Numbered curses at him till
his brain began to reel;
His captain called him lazy; his lieu
tenant scored him, too,
And they wondered why he faltered,
but the sergeant-major knew.
When at last the drill was over and
the line had been dismissed,
They put the laundering soldier on
their extra duty list;
But the sergeant-major saved MIN
when the colonel heard him say:
N'He hasn't had letter from his folks
in many a day."
Would You help him in his battle
would you keep his mind in trim
Then send some cheerful message ev-
cry day or two to him!
Every soldier understands it, when
they're passing out the mail;
The boy who is forgotten is the boy
who's sure to fail.
