of all enemy surprises and will at the
same time make it possible for Ameri-
cans and American munitions to secure
the maximum of destruction ON the
other side of No Mans Land.
Few Of us here realize that the big
envelopes commonly ascend as high aS
1000 feet and that they stay for hours
poised in midair to perform the re-
SponSible duties assigned to them.
Usually the ascent is made anywhere
from two and one-half to four and
one-half miles from the enemy's front
line trenches, depending on the power
of his. artillery, the direction of the
wind and the activity of the salient.
In any case the observer has

and is able to pierce far back into
the enemy'S lines. The most detailed

Kind OF field glasses, and Instant com
munication with the ground make the
balloonist Il master of everything,
spread out before his gaze.
When the American troops are pre-
pairing to 20 over the top an unusu-
ally large number of balloons will be
concentrated as secretly as possible in
masked camps in order not TO betraiy
what is about to take place. At the
appointed moment they will take the
air and divide up every detail of the
battle among them. Some will record
the heavy artillery fire, shot by shot;
others will see to it that the work of
demolition behind the enemy's lines is
effective; others will guard against
any re-enforcements or traps.
Keep Watch on Foe.
As the troops go over they will
check closely the German batteries,
the shifting of their infantry and the
assembling Of supplies. As the Ameri-
can forces advance the balloons will
move forward also in unison with
them along routes previously prepared.
Observations for the barrage will be
sent down repeatedly, so that it may
move back and forth with the men
and details sent so that the enemy's
guns setting up the destructive coun-
may be silenced.
To do this the American ballOOnist
must know every detail of the enemy's
land opposite him, for mistake on
his part may cost the lives Of scores
of men below. No new battery should
open up across the lines without its
location being spotted on the detail

pieces and their objective noted, and

In this country when man OF av-
erage height takes on girth until his
weight runs up to 300 pounds or so, his
friends have grave doubts about his
condition and advise him to diet in
order to bring back slim elegance of
figure, notes a writer. In Japan the
contrary is true. If man can carry
800 pounds of flesh with any agility he
is of the material from which heroes
are manufactured. and if he can work
up to the 400 or 475-pound notch, and
becomes wrestler, he is in the run
ming for the championship.
Wrestling is to the japanese what
boxing is to us, and more. The popu-
lace goes crazy over it, and the mag
mates of the big game handle great
sums in the way of gate receipts. The
Tokyo Wrestling association controls
the flower of Japans heavyweights,

the high standards prevailing through
