eminent needs 100000 pounds OF nu,
shells and fruit stones daily for man
ufacturing gas mask charcoal, and at
present is unable to purchase one
third that amount. This and the fail
ure of the public to cooperate fully
by saving and sending in this form
of waste from the kitchen have made
it necessary for the chemical warfare

peal.
Because of the lack of sufficient
material wood charcoal now is being
mixed with shell charcoal for masks
The wood charcoal is not hard and
will settle, making it difficult for the
wearer OF 4 mask containing it to
breathe, and it has not the abSorpt'vc

Gen. Pershing Takes Same Chances

Gen. Pershing inspires his troops BY

scribed by F. c. Stetson of Washing.
ton. a soldier in France, in letter to
his father here.
Yesterday I saw Gen. Pershing,
wrote young Stetson.
His car was striking along the
road toward our little village only
three kilcmeters from the front. A @.
NJ. sergeant was driving, with a cor
poral as orderly, and the general was
sitting. big as life, in the back seat
with another high officer. A military
policeman motioned us to the side,
and the generals car, four, stars and
all. slipped in between us and mule
team to continue up the road toward
the front.
mo one can accuse Pershing of
lodging danger. The road saw him
driving over was under German OBJ
servation and shells were coming over
at pretty regular intervals. l suppose
he chose it because he, like all the
wants to feel himself near
the foe. lie certainly has good effect
on the troops to see their chief under
going the same dangers as they do.
All OF us felt more like unloosing the
thousand shells our battery was to put
over that night, after seeing Gen.

10000 AIRPLANES WORTH
MORE THAN 100000
SOLDIERS
Filters VIII Bring Germany to Her
Knees, Lord Sydenham
Declares.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Ten thou.
sand airplanes now are worth more
than 100000 ground troops. Germany
can be brought to = her knees by air
forces.
This is the message to the Ameri-
can people from Lord Sydenham,
who, as Maj. George S. Clarke, of the
British royal engineers, is recognized
as a great authority on Notifications.
His message, in full, follows:
Impress upon your people that
10000 airplanes at this juncture are
worth more than 100000 combats a
terre and will not require nearly SO
much transport. We can bring Ger
many to terms by air force; that is
certain"
Lord Sydenham's plea for great
aerial strength was announced by
Major General Henley, director OF
military aeronautics, who received it
in letter from Rear Admiral c. F.
Goodrich, U. S. N.
