CERMANY'S protest,voiced through
correspondents at the front, that
American troops are using shotguns
which fire buckshot cartridges and
that these weapons are contrary to
the Geneva convention will make no
impression. 1t may be true that the
Geneva convention forhids the use of
shotguns as weapons in war. But
pre- war agreements between the ma
tons have been effectually set at
naught in many other respects, solely
as result of Germany's initiative.

MARSHAL FOCH appears to have
the war experts Of Paris, London
and Washington puzzled. Some of
them hold firmly to the opinion that
he is only preparing for bigger
stroke than he has yet made. Others
believe that he has made his master
stroke and that he is only following
it up with the idea Of harassing the
enemy until the Huns reach the line,
where they expect to make stand.
Still another expert idea is that Mar
shall Foch has demonstrated his cam
paign plan, and that is, to continue
The tactics he has used in the Marine
and use the "qincers" in |
order to drive the Germans back to
he Rhine. The average citizen, know
ng nothing of warfare, is content to
rust it to Marshal Foch without wor-
wing over the tactics. AS long as
he is fighting the Huns where he
inds them, and defeating them, the
world is content to leave the problem
# figuring out what is in the mar
halls mind to the war experts. What
yer General Foch may have in mind
or the future, the thing he is doing
ow accords with the idea the lay
zen have of the thing that should be
one: Go after them and lick them,
yherever they are. {

Unless the war department again changes his orders and transfers him either back to the line or to some other post, it is expected that he will re- turn on a later 4scl and may even now be on the high seas.
 Lieut.. Tyler, who was one of the heroes of the Battle of Seicheprey, speaks nothing Of his own valiant ac tivities in that conflict but gives great praise to Captain Alfred H. Griswold of this city. At this battle Captain Grtswold, surrounded by the enemy killed three with well directed re- voiver shots and clubbed a fourth to death with the butt of his gun there by making it possible for him to es- cape and rally his men. h that battle Captain GriSwold was wound cd in the back by shrapnel and like wise suffered from the effects oi gas poisoning and shcl shock. Only 10 minutes before the battle Lieut.. TE- Ter and Captain GrisWOld were en- gagged in conversation. Then came the German advance, followed by the brilliant American cOuntor-attack. The two officers next met in a field hospital where Lieut.. Tyler was suf- fering from wounds about the head.

The students easily discehn the striking of bullet on the water and are able to correct their fire almost instantly if the shots go wide. The resudts, instructors de- clare, are more than gratifying but just what records the young f1ers have made is informa ton withheld from the public.
 The training in gunnery is a S com plete as it is humanly possible to make it. Before beng sent to the camp the students are required to un- dergo a course Of ground schooling at Gerstner Field, near here. From Gerstner Field they go to the lake and in classes of thirty are put to work on the 'taube" and a small aerial target released at an altitude of about 5000 feet. The students are graded according to their proficiency in fringing and when they make the percentage of hits required arc dis charged from the sch ool.
 Both the small machines. carving only pilot, and the larger plane with a pilot and ohservor are in use at the school.

Preparedness for Period When

Washington. June 21.-Whiie the Allies are engaged in the struggle with German autocracy, the problem of meeting industrial aggression after the war aiSo is receiving attention
 France is debating regulations to compel registration of nationality by manufacturers and trades people. so that the nation which has borne the brust Of the German assault may NOT unwittingly send gold to provide funds for another war. Italy has is sued a decree requiring declarations of nationality Others Of the allied countries are discussing similar meas ures, despite opposition in some off cial quarter to anything savoring of an "econOmic war after the war"
 German duplicity and intrigue re- vealed in the last four years have strength ened fears in European coun- tries that Germany may attempt to market her goods when peace comes by means of masked exports. giv- ing an impression that they originated elsewhere. Official dispatches, quot ing financial writers say that it is to be expected France for some time aft CT the war ends will be dependent upon imports, because the most inn portant industrial districts have been Ceva stated by the invaders and in or der to prevent unwilling buying of enemy goods three measures have been suggested, as follows:
 1--To establish a personal register.
 2-To esta blisl1 a trade register.
 3--To demand the national mark put on all goods imported into France.
 With regard to the personal regis ter it is the intention to make enc for each community. containing the ranoS and addresses ot all the in habitants their birth places and the names of their parents. All store keepers shall hang in their shops a sign plainly stating their nationality. On the basis of this personal register, a trade register hall be kept, as in Italy. Spain. Sweden, Norway, Den mark. switzerland Hungary and Ger many. '.'-
 There is NO intention of boycotting German goods. Economists have pointed out that such a step would be a senselcss thing to do and the in tontion in France is only to control the German imports and keep them within bounds so they will do no harm. To that end. the French syn dicates have suggested that it be nldOC OD1SdlOJN IOI dlI LII pol IS bo bear the national trade mark of the country of origin.

Italian Government Recognizes
 Cuts and Platt Of U. 5.

Washington, June .21.-Decorations awarded by tho Italian government to Richard Cutts Fairfield, of New York and Boston, and William Davenport Platt. of Baltimore. the first two Americans to meet death while assist ing Italy in the great war, have been sent to the embassy here, to be for warded to their families.
 The young men-Fairfield was only IS while Platt was 26-wcre killed by a bomb explosion in the court of a hospital at Mcstre, where they went on January 26 to remove wounded, being made the objects of German air raid. They were ambulance drivers in 6 Red Cross unit and were buried with military honors in the town where they were killed.
 Young Fairtield's adventurous spirit led him to run away from home when his mother, Mrs. James Cummings Barr, said he Was too young to have permission to serve on the fighting fronts. He was not to be denied, how ever, and having friends with money and influence. he managed 10 get a ticket to Paris and a passport from the State Department the latter a most difficult possession for a minor to obtain.
 Rodman Wanama1er, 2d. a grand son of John Wanamakcr. former post master general, furnished the money. but Fairfield's family even yet arc un- certain as to his method of getting the passport. Once in Paris, the lad communicated with his mother and obtained money.

The latter, having more age and eXperi- once, was proceeding without so many obstacles to take a part in the fight ing in the same unostentatious fash ion that has marked the career of hundreds of other young America ns5, both before and after this country en- tered the war. Platt already had an assignment to Italy with the Wynne- Rcvan branch of the British Red Cross, and once secure in his own berth. he sent for Fairfield. The lad joined him in November.
 The two were together in Red Cross camp outFido Of Mestre when the bombs loosed by the raiders began falling on the hospital crowded with wounded.
