KIT is apparent from the evidence that
the twelve cylinder Liberty motor is
just emerging from the development
or experimental stage. Since the original
design and the setting up of the first COM
pleted motor in July, 1917, large number
of changes have been found necessary, many
of them causing delay in reaching quantity
production.

of the motor may be further extended and
further improvements attained. Twenty.
two thousand five hundred Liberty motors
have been ordered, 1872 have been completed
for the army and 142 for the navy. Four
have been shipped overseas. Some of those
already delivered are being altered to over

Standard Motor the Objective

"The necessity for speed and quantity
productions resulted in a choice Of the latter
course, and standard motor became our
engineering objective.
1.-TWO of the best engineers in the coun-

were brought together at Washington, and
the problem of producing an all-Amerlcan
engine at the earliest possible moment was
presented to them. Their first conference,
on June 8, lasted from afternoon until 1880
o'clock in the morning.
"These two engineers were, fguratively
locked in room in Washington hotel and
charged with the development of an air.
plane motor for use by American aviators
over the battcfclds Of Europe. For five
days neither man left the suite of rooms en-
gagged for them. Consulting engineers and
craftsmen from various sections of the
country were brought to Washington to as
sist them. The work in the drafting room
proceeded continuously day and night. Each
of the two engineers in immediate charge
of motor development alternately worked a
24-hour shift.

lowing statements:
<<1~HE United States "a. aviation engine CINE
has passed its final tests. They
were successful and gratifying.
The new motor. des ignated by the Signal
Service as the Liberty motor is now the
main reliance of the United States in the
rapid production in large numbers OF high
powered battle planes for service in the war.
In power, speed. serviceablity and minimum
weight the new engine invites comparison
with the best that the European war has
produced
One Of Big Accomplishments Of U. S.
81 regard the invention and rapid develop
ment of this engine as one OF the really dig
accomplishments of the United States since
it's entry in the The engine was
brought about through the cooperation Oh
more than a score Of engineers, who pooled
their skill and trade secrets in the war
emergency, working with the encouragement
of the Aircraft Production Board, the war
Department and the Bureau of Standards.
THE story of the production of this en-
CINE is remarkable one. Probably the war
has produced no greater single achleVe-
ment.
Gone of the first problems which con-
frontcd the War Department and the Air
craft Production Board after the decara-
tion Of hostiites was to produce quickly
dependable aviation motor. Two courses
were open. One was to encourage manu-
facturers to develop their own types; the
other to bring the best of all types together
and develop standard.

No Time for Theorizinr

cone of the chief rules outlined at the be-
ginning of the designing work was that no
engineer should be permitted to introduce
construction which lad not been tried out
There time for thcorzng. The new
engine is successful because it cmbodies the
best thought of eng necring experience to
date. Not only did this country furnish
ideas through celebrated consulting cngi-
ncers, but the representatives in the United
States of England, France and Italy COOP
Grated III the development of this motor
'Thlrty days after the assembling of the
first engine preliminary tests justified the
government in formally accepting the en-
CINE as the best aircraft engine produced in
any country. The final tests confirmed our
faith in the new motor in every degree
Both the flying and altitude tests Of the
new motor have been gratifying. One test
conducted at Pixies Peal, where the
United States aviation engine performed
satisfactorily at this high altitude. One OF
the engines in an arpanc broke the Amcri-
can altitude record in recent flying test
"Whlc it is not deemed cXpedient to dis
in detail the performances and me
chanics of the new motor, it may be said
that Standardization is n chief factor in the
development of the governments motor
Cylinders. pistons and every other part OF
The motor have been standardized. They
may be produced rapidly and economically
by great many factories operating under
government contracts. They may be as rap

"Thc now engine amounts practically to
an international model. 1t cmbodies tho

the best features Of European models, so far
~ it hns been possible to adapt the latter to
American manufacturing methods"

Trade Secrets Given Up

can inspiring feature of this work
the aid rendered by consulting engineers
and motor manufacturers, who gave up their
trade secrets under the emergency of war
needs. pealizing that the design would
be government des ign, and firm in
dividual would reap selfish benefit because
of its making, the motor manufacturers,
nevertheless, practically revealed their
trade secrets and made available trade proc
of great commercial value. These in
dustries have also contributed the services
of approximately two hundred of their best
craftsmen.
"Thc two engineers locked together in a
hotel room in this city promised the gov
ernment that, if given an opportunity they
would design a satisfactory engine before a
working model could be brought from Eu-
rope.
"A remarkable American engine was actu-
ally produced three weeks before any model
could have been brought from Europe 1t
promised that this engine would be de-
Veloped before the Fourth Of July. Twenty
eight days after the drawings were started
the new engine was set w. This was on

BEHIND BIRTHS HLINES IN FRANCE, June 7.1The young soldier under orders to embark for the first time who pictures to himself a future which will be all fighting days and sees himself step from the troop ship to be rushed to battle as did the first British divisions sent to the rescue of Mons, is doomed to disap- pointment
 As a matter of fact, he will spend only small proportion of his time in the front line. and even while there, will only see actual fighting at more or less rare intervals. Life will hold great deal of base and "billets" for him even in France.

 My Dear Mir. Clark: Arrangements will be made by me lO Dci Iill oo illdiiy do PCooipiC pA the Juneau and Douglas draft men to visit their homes on July fourth. On | ly the sick and delinquents will be retained here. There are lightweight from Juneau and seventeen men from | Douglas.

Therefore I shall send this Company as a unit and fill up with the Juneau and Douglas men serving in other units.
 This will mean that roughly one hundred and fifty men will visit Ju- neau on July fourth. About half of that number will be strangers in your 1 locality and it is suggested that ar engagements be made whereby these men may be taken care of by patriot i ic families during their visit.
 This half will include all the non- commissioned officers under whom your quota are now receiving their i instructions.
