Notifications Of the station which. in
addition, to being used as a paval base
for American submarines destroyers
and other small craft, also will serve
as an important homing station for
American airplanes, a number of
which already have been: assembled
there. ~
Negotiations now are in progress to
insure full aco-operations between
American naval forces and the au-
.thorities of Portugal for the adequate
defense of the station. This action
will simplify the task of protecting
the grade trade routes not. only to
southern Europe and the Mediter-
ranean, but also returning traffic to
South American and southern gulf
ports in the United States:
! Portugal was not only willing to
enter the agreement, but WAS eager to
see it perfected that her own lines Of
communication to her colonial possess
sions would be covered. T The value of
the new station as base for the re-
plenishment of supplies for American
submarines, submarine chasers and
destroyers on the voyage to Europe
already. has been demonstrated.

Portugal, lie in the Atlantic about

made possible for the French artillery

that enables French mapmakers to

ments. railroad lines, avia ton camps
and other enemy organizations It
is unnecessary for the gunner to have
even distant view Of the object he
is firing at.
To take a photograph of the en-
emy lines from a French airplane is
an easy matter but to transfer the
objects photographed to their exact
location on a map was for a time ex-
tremeN difficult. This was due to the
varying heights and angles from
which the airplane observers made
their photographs. BY the invention
of one of the officers attached to the
geographical section this difficulty
has been almost eliminated.
Not only the aerial observation
service but other methods of spot
ting German positions-more espe-
cialy cannon and machine-gun en-
placements-are utilized as aids to
the work Of the military map-maker.
The flashes of guns as they are fired
from the German side form one val
liable adjunct to his work but the
most important of all is the calcula-
ton OF the speed of the sound of the
This has been brought to a basis OF
such perfection that the guns can
now be located with almost absolute
accuracy. In fact in recent opera
