FIRST [. 5. SHOT
FIRED IN THE WAR
Sergeant Fired Initial Shell Against
Germans, Officer Assers, October %,
1917.

The story Of the first shot fired by
the American eXpeditiOnary force in
the war with Germany-a shell sent
~schreeching into the German lines
about as dawn was breaking on Octo-
Der 20, 1917-is contained in a letter
sent to the Associated Press by the
commander of the Indiana battery
which performed this important ac-
ton in American history. Alex Arch
Of South Bend, Ind, a sergeant in this
unite battery of the Sixth field ar
tillery-is the veteran soldier who, &C
cording to this letter, yanked the Ian
yard of the pioneer gun to speak for
the United States on the soil of
France.
Newspaper correspondents who in
spected the gun on the day it was
fired, were permitted at the time to
say in their cablegrams only that this
sergeant was from South Bend. The
honor of firing this first shot had been
claimed by another member of the
same battery. Captain Indus R. Nc
Tendon, in command of c battery, in
writing of this event, expresses his
conviction that the people of the
United States should have available an
authoritative account, both because
of the significance of the deed, and
because, in his opinion, credit should
go to the man to whom the officers
of c battery say it is due-Sergeant
Alex Arch.

NEW YORK, Aug 9.-A staff writ CT of The World, after thorough study of sixteen American aviation fields says:
 What is happening in the Air Ser vice of the United States Army?
 Controversies in Congress and out, investigations under various aus pices, have made it appear that very little has happened beyond the de- velopment of Liberty motor of un- certain quality, beyond the working out of plane-building program that has not yet reached quantity produc- tipn. and beyond the establishment throughout the country of a still lengthening chain of schools and camps from which news seldom comes unless it be accident or trag. edy.
