Car of Coal Used in Post Office

1t may not be the first time in his
tory. but it is surely seldom that the
government pays the taxes it imposes.
And thereby hangs a tale of car
load of coal intended for the Potomac
Electric Power Company. but de-
livered and consumed by the Post
Office Department
The Consolidated Coal Company Of
somewhere in America shipped the
coal and paid the war tax, S274, as
obligated by law, for a consignment
to an industry other than the gov
ernment. But the government got the
coal.
Where the government is the con-
signee the tax on freight is not pay
able by the government" observes
the controller of the Treasury, W w.
Warwick, but if the facts stated on
the dealers bill are correct. the gov
ernment was not the original con-
signee of the coal. and the coal COM
pany would be required to account for
the tax upon the shipment to the
original consignee.
IF the coal company has paid the
carrier the tax, it may be included
and paid upon the present voucher"

Quiet Days Are Over.

They do not know what may be their
ultimate part in the great battle that
stretches from the plains of Flanders to
the heights Of the Chemin des Danes.
They do not know whether they are to
fold the line or to be given the supreme
honor of attacking. There are very few
men who do know that, and chief of
these is Foch. All that interests them
now is that the quieter days of Lor-
raine are past.
They have been here Just behind the
front long enough now to have a very
clear idea OF just what faces them. 1t
is not like the old fronts in Lorraine.
There are no secure long established
trench systems. no deep dugouts and
fortified villages. Trenches there are, to
be sure. but quickly dug The deep
belts of barbed wire are lacking.
Most of the line is a succession of
linked up shell holes or individual rifle
mems posts. The war of trenches has
heen succeeded by a war Of holes. That
is all the Germans have over on their
size. too. So far as the fortications go,
it would not be much OF a task to get
through them.

Most Dangerous Mishap.

This perhaps is the most dangerous
mishap that can overtake night
fier. On the preceding night young
pilot belonging to this group had
been injured when forced to make
an impromptu landing. but the officer
with him fortunately was unhurt.
The process by which the pilots took
the or in perfect order in accordance
with prearranged system of sig
mails and the manner in which they
were recognized and guided back to
earth on their return was highly in
teresting. but may not be spoken of
save In the vaguest terms. In the
course OF the night, however, I talked
with many aviators. and from what
they told me / will venture to write
the following generalities concerning
bardment squadrons-a form Of avia-
ton which is developing rapidly:
The planes used are French, large
and heavy, with a speed Of more than
100 kilometers (sixty miles) an hour
Each is mounted by at least two men
one a pilot and one an observer
The defensive armament consists of
one or more machine guns For of
fense each carries from five to TWEEN
the weight. There are various cate
gories of these bombs. Some are for
the destruction of buildings and act
chiefly through the force Of the ex-
plosion. Others, which are intended
for the killing Of soldiers, are so con-
structed that when they burst they
scatter hundreds of deadly steel
splinters. Still others are incendiary

safely on the proper spot without
collisions either in the air or on land.
But when a pilot gets lost or Is
obliged to land for some reason be-
fore he can return to his own ground
the peril is really enormous. 1t is i'm
possible at night to tell what is

Such fatal obstacles as bitches. fences
and small trees are almost invisible
If a pilot happens to be near some
other aviation field with which he is
familiar he may land safely. but even
under these circumstances the chances
of a serious accident are very great.
Such are some of the things learn
ed during a night spent among the
French bombarders. In due time the
boys who had gone to bomb the enc
my's aviation fields began to return.
One after another the planes came

thing had gone smoothly. Several of
the pilots had descended SO low that
they were easily able to distinguish
the German hangers.
