USEFUL IN SP0TTNG TANKS

Distance and Keep Them Con-
stantiy In View-EquIpped
With Sound p~etectors.

New York.-Last fall. when the Aus
TRANS were driving the Italian sol
diers from their hard-won mountain
, fo~rtresses, the defeated army had one
/, weapon which 1t constantly used to
harass and impede the foe. This was
the electric searchllght, a newcomer
on the field Of battle.
Powerful lights we're trained every
! night upon the advancing Austrians
whenever they came to a river cross
ing or whenever they were obliged to
halt for another reason. This ham,
pered and irritated the enemy ex-
ceedingly. 1t was not only that Sc
rious danger attended any disclosure
Of their operations. They suffered
also from nerves when the long feel
ers Of light brushed over their faces
and hands and revealed every detail
Of the work upon which they were
engaged.
The use of senrchlights by our
own expeditlonary forces is becoming
an important branch Of the engineer
ing service. Not long ago congress
voted an appropriation of 81, 900
for searchllghts Of both the field type
and the anti-aircraft type. The lights
commonly used are 36-inch lights. hav-
ing a ~candlepower of 1000, 900, 900, and
a maximum range of approximately
10000 yards. or nearly six miles.
First Use In Warfare.
When searchlights were first intro
duced In warfare II was expected that
they would be primarily service
able in battlefield illumination. The
scheme was TO throw light upon the
opposing battle line and show adj
vancing companies Of infantry the
kind Of ground over which they had
to SO. Another plan vas to have
rows Of searchlights parallel with the
trenches and sweep the terrain be-
fore them, lighting up the barbed-
wire entangiements laid by the foe
and exposing parties Of enemy sol
oilers at work repairing them. How
ever. neither OF these uses turned out
to be especially significant. The diff
hculty was that. N soon as the lights
were In operation. they were easily
picked on by the enemy's guns. In
the same manner. they could not be
placed along the line of trenches

Railroads File Appeals
From Ruling on Road Tai
81 Special Correspondens.

TRENTON, Aug. 2:-Appeals have
just beer filed in the supreme court
here by the Central, the Long Dock,
the Lehigh Valley, and the Hudson
and Manhattan railroad companies,
carrying up to the court of errors
and appeals the Judgment in the for
mer court, which affirmed the taxes
levied on railroads under the Edge
road tax act of 1917.
1t is claimed by the companies that
their property was already separately
classified by statute for assessment
and taxation, and hat the road tax
of one mill on each 81 of valuation
is not within the classification of acts
passed before the Edge road tax law.
The appellants also claim that the
imposition of the road tax is without
warrant and is excessive. 1t is I'M
derstood that all other railroads in
the state propose to take appeals to
the court of errors or the same
grounds as set up on the suits just
filed.

From the Stars and Stripes

AS the negro stevedores marched to
work, winter and summer. rain or shine,
night or day, they were always whlstl1ng
or singing as they marched, to the Won
derment of French and English alike.
Thei: spirits never seemed to be damp

their own making. There was that base

when one negro boy had knocked . home
run. ran around the bases with him. more
than 200 laughing, shouting. grinning,
singing, yelling negroes, helping to bring
in the score that won the game.
Then there was that Sunday morning
when several White CAPTAINS decided
that their negro boys should have a
bath. They took their boys down to an
ocean beach. 1t was a bit chilly. The
negroes stripped at order, but they
didn't like the idea of going into that cold
ocean water. One captain solved the diff
ficulty. He took his own clothes eff. He
got in front of his men. He lined them
up in formation. Then he SAID: Now.
boys, were going to play that ocean is
full of Germans. You stevedores are
always complaining about not getting up
front, and you tell me what you'd do to
the Germans if you once got UP front.
Now I'm going to see how much nerve
you've got. When / say Forward. March,
it is a military order. I'm going to lead
you into thai water. We are going in
military formation.

And into the surf that company of
black soldiers marched. into that cold

souls. but soldiers to the core, without a
quaver. eyes to the front, heads up.

of fun and laughter that made the world

Yanks Rescued
Ln Dugout After

With the American Forces in France
-(by mail.)-Wounded and taken
! prisoner by the Germans and Tor two

The %privates We're captured in he

eastern edge of the Arsonne forest,
iusf before Chehery was captured by
the Americans. While the Germans
were en%deavoring to decide wha TO
do with the wounded men the Ameri-
can artillery opened up and the Ger
mans determined m a hurry to remove
them to a nearby dugout. and four big
Germans crowded in beside them.
For two days the artillery, FIRST of the
Americans and then of the Germans,
swept the hill and so intense was the
Smelling that even The Germans did not
attempt to escape.
fantry began going forward and when
the crest of the hill was reached there
was a rush of the Americans to the
place where their two comrades had
been wounded in an encounter while
making a reconnaissance in the early
morning. Leading the men was Cap

who had little hope of finding the
two men alive.
One of the Americans heard a sound
from within the dugout and n of the
detachment. in German, ordered those
on the outside to surrender, threaten

with hand grenades at once. The re-
ply that came back was in perfectly

hands above their heads. A moment
