The British war expert who made
this statement while discussing the
present allied offensive continued:
I'VE have used in the fighting to
date only a fraction of the men the
enemy has been accustomed to employ
for similar offensives, and we have
made up the difference largely with
tanks. Since the ultimate victory will
fall to the side with the biggest re-
serves, the more tanks we have the
ers are as much in this fight as their
brothers in France.
Less Risk Incurred.
"Similarly. the more numerous the
tanks, the less risk of their being
knocked out. A German anti-tank
gunner can deal with one or two, per-
haps, but he is overwhelmed with
dozens.

in rows Of three or four, their en-
gines roaring and propellers whirling
like mad; imagine the rat-tat-tat
of a dozen machine guns being tested
at targets and shouts of aviators and
mechanics and you have an accurate
first impression of the scene on the
field ofian American bombing squad

Over the broad sloping field Dor

tiny bungalow huts covered with

The observer explained the intricate
system of releasing each bomb in
turn by means of trips and at such
fnStantS as his desired goal appeared
beneath him through an opening in
the floor of his little cubbyhole in the
lear of the plane.
He called attention with pride to
the tiny iron crosses on the wings
and fuselage of each airplane mark
ing the spots where shrapnel and ma
chine gun bullets have torn perilous,y
near to pilot or observer or both.
and where the repairs have been made
by mechanics who are jealousy proud
of the little insignia of narrow es-
capes.
More Than 20 Crosses for Hits.
One of the machines bore more than
twenty such crosses in one small part
of the fuselage between pilot and OBJ
server alone, and the conductor said,
with a laugh. that it was great good
luck that no vital part of the machine
had been hit.
He told, nonchalantly and with mod
esty, of narrow escapes he and his
fellow-observers and pilots had had.
One man had been fairly raised off his
seat by a piece of shell that had pene-
trated the airplane from beneath.
another had been wounded in feet and
legs by shrapnel that entered the
1uselage. He could have told such
anecdotes for hours, but 4 signal from
the commander of the squadron an

SHIPBUILDER SCHWAB
IS DOING THINGS

Steel production has reached the
highest development in its history in
this country, and production bids fair
to approximate to 100000 tons this
year. Now comes the statement that
Director General Schwab, of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation Of the
United States Shipping BOARD, pro-
poses to see to it that steel produc-
ton is increased so per cent in the
next year or two. This in order to
give opportunity to the development
Of a great American merchant marine,
including steel hulls, steel engines,
steel boilers, and other steel appurte-
nances.
Already Congress has appropriated
over $4,000, 5000 for ship building
and ship operation, and now it is pro-
posed to expcnd another couple Of bill
lions of dollars-and the end is not
yet.
1t is said that Director General
Schwab plans to build $500 ships next
year, or at least 100 month, with a
monthly average of one million dead
weight) TONS" ..
Under the standardized ship idea
all of the parts being identical in size
and shape and weight--mills in all
parts of the country are able to fab
ricate the parts, and presently the
shipyards will become merely assemb-
ling plants.
It is reported that Mr.. Schwab is
working on a list of manufacturers
who can increase their fabricatine
processes in respect to ships parts
He is concentrating thought and eff
fort on engines, boilers and appurte-
nances rather than on hull construc.
ton, realizing that it is the completed
ship that is of value. not merely the
hull.
In fact, so it is stated, the ship
building program, next year, may rur
up as high at 100000 or 10000,
900 lightweight tons, all constructed
in American shipyards. If half o.
that is actually accomplished it will
be little short of a miracle. But thu
country should realize that grea
national industry has come into being
overnight, so to speak. What will
become of it with the end of the war
The problem of an American merchant
marine calls all the louder for san'
solution as the shipbuilding industr!
grows so amazingly.

URGES ATTENDANCE
AT STATE FAIR

The Missouri State Fair, which
will be held August 10 to II at Sc
dalia, will be of special interest to
farmers in its relation to wartime
production. e. A. Trowbridge, pro-
fessor of Animal Husbandry in the
University of Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture, pointed out in recent
statement the Importance of the fair
to the livestock producers Of the
State. "There has never been time
in the history of livestock business
when livestock improvement was
more necessary, nor when there was
greater interest in better blood" said
Prof. Trowbridge. "The State fair
offers the livestock man opportunity
to see some of the best breeding ami
mails in the State, and to compare
them with his own ideals. 1t also
gives prospective purchasers oppor-
tunity to meet and get in touch with
the breeders who have animals for
SALE"
The Missouri State Fair has al.
ways been one of the big educational
institutions of the State. 1t is an ad-
vertisemcnt for the State, and every
man who has good quality products
that stand a chance of winning should
exhibit them so that the best possible
showing can be made. Furthermore
they should attend the fair so thai
they may obtain information and in
spiration from the exhibits. This is
true, not only of the livestock exhib'
its, but of the products of all other
branches of agriculture and industry
The fair will offer suggestions of re.
placing labor with machinery, and Of
Increasing production with present
equipment.
