The demand for objects of this

Transferred to Maps They Bring
French Artillery to High
Efficiency.
PROCESS IS new INVENTION
Every Enemy object Accurately Re-
corded After Airmen's Scouting Of
Flights-Maps Brought to
Date Daily.

French Front.-Accuracy and ell
cheney have been made possible for the
French artillery by the invention of
an instrument that enables French
mapmakers to locate almost exactly
an object within the enemy lines which
has been photographed from an air
plane. In transferring to a map the
photographed object, such as an enemy
battery or munition dump, the margin
Of error is limited to less than i've
yards.
This permits the French artillery to
pour it's shells with almost certain aim
onto German gun emplacements,
trench positions, crossroads, canton
ments, railroad lines, aviation camps
and other enemy organizations. 1t Is
unnecessary for the gunner to have
even a distant view Of the object he is
firing at.
Invention Makes Transfer Easy.
To take a photograph of the enemy
lines from a French airplane is an
easy matter, but to transfer the OBJ
jects photographed to their exact To-
cation on a map was for time ex-
tremely 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 geo
graphical section, this difficulty has
been almost eliminated. ".
Not only the aerial observation serv-
ice but other methods of spotting Ger
man positions-more especially can
non and machine-gun emplacements-
are utilized as aids to the work Of the
military map-maker. The flashes Of
guns as they are fired from the Ger
man side form one valuable adjunct
to his work, but the most important of
all is the calculation of the speed of
the sound of the firing charge Of the
German shells. 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
operations it has proved that the sys-
tenn of observation by sound has given
successful results in over so per cent
of instances.

 Commercial Aims of Japan
 The war thoughts of Japan are not
 confined to the present. They have a
 shrewd eye upon future possibilities
 after the war is over The total gold holdings of Japan stood at 1.055,OO0, 900

 ary, according to the statement of the

 last meeting of the Yokohama Specie : Bank (Mar. 9 reported net profits of o0,000,000 yen (s25,000,000) for the previous half year Japan's foreign trade is booming.
 ''The commerce and industry of Japan have witnesses remarka ble progress in recent years" says Dr. Minoru Oka, chief of the imperial bu- reau of commerce and industry; flor eign trade has especially experienced unprecedented expansion. The most important question for Japan now is how to maintain and consolidate the position already attained with special reference to the possibility of sue
 cessfully competing with foreign coun- tries after the war.
 'The time has now arrived for or ganizing a combination or league of captains of commerce and industry in front in the approaching competition Now is the time and the opportunity for every line of Japanese manuafc- ture to lay the foundation of future progress; and if they do not see that this is done by insistin upon insuring proper quality in output and satis- factory dealings with their customers
 they will lose the markets now open to them, and all through their own fault. This is, in fact, a crucial per iod for Japanese commerce and indus try.
