EXPERTS PRAISE
AIR MASTERY IN
MIH|EL BATTLE

PARIS, Sept. 25.--Liberty motors.
placed in American-built planes.
which are manned by American avn
ators. have completely vindicated
themselves.
They have cleared themselves from
the cloud Of doubt raised months ago
in the United States.
In the battle during which the St
Mihicl salient was captured. fleets OF
American airplanes used for the first
time in large numbers proved a huge
success. All airplanc experts, not
only those attached TO the American
forces. but also those with ~
French and British. are most enthu-
siastic over the results attained by
motors, planes and pilots.
John D. Ryan. head of the Ameri-
can aircraft board, has returned TO
Paris. after watching the American
airplanes in action.
His Impressions, after seeing the
work and talking TO pilots and allied
experts, may be summed up as fol-
lows:
That there is no such engine pow
err or llghtness in the allied or Ger
man army; that there is no other en-
CINE for which there is such a de-
mand.
Every official and every officer
knowing the result at st. Mihiel is
most pleased with the prospects for
the future. American pilots have
given wonderful account of them
selves.
Ryan is continuing his inspection
of training camps and British and
French manufacturing plants. and
studying the movements of airplane
supply TO advanced areas.
Col. Arthur Woods, former police
commissioner of New York, has join.

Out Of our crew of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all of the dead,
excepting those in No Mans Land. In

friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the r. A. NJ. c. got busy with their
chemical sprayers, spraying out the
dugouts and low parts of the trenches

The next morning the four reported
to division headquarters for instruc

large towns in the rear of the lines
with an easy job. When it came our
turn the officer told us we were good
men and had passed a very creditable
examination.
My tin hat began to get too small
for me, and noted that the other man,
Atwell by name, was sticking his chest
out more than usual.
The officer continued: II think can

more to the point.

we knew we were In for it good and

What Atwell said is not fit for pub

DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT
Great French Colonial Territory In
North Africa Seems to Hold Out
Little Promise.

Wadai was the last point Of colonial
expansion of the French before the Eu-
ropean struggle drew their energies
and attention homeward. The great
African territory was added to the
French Kongo only a short time before
the war broke out.
Very few white people have actually
visited Wadai, but tales Of the region
are numerous both in upper Egypt and
in Tripoli. Occasionally some of the In
habItants of the little-known region
can be seen in the bazaars Of Khartum
or Algiers. Wadai lies at the
head Of caravan routes that cross the
desert both from the Mediterranean
and the Nile. 1t bears bad reputa-
ton, even for North Africa.
1t is known as one Of the last strong
holds and sources Of supply Of the
slave trade. Its people are divided
into conQuerors and conquered-the
former belonging to a powerful ma
tive tribe that holds the Mohammed-
an faith and the latter including all
manner of very primitive Savages. Up
to very recent times these savage peo-
pie are known to have been captured
and sold as slaves along the Barbary
coast. The French only established a
protectorate>in 1912, so that they had
little opportunity to break up the
trade before the European war.
In physical appearance WadaI Is de-
scribed by the caravan men as a vast,
low-lying plain. Great tracts Of 1t have
never been explored. 1t seems to have
once formed the bed Of a great inland
sea, Of which Lake Chad, In the south
west, Is the shriVeled remnant. In
fact, the Sahara is steadily encroach-
ing on 1t from the northward. It Is
crossed by the old channels Of several
rivers, but without a single flowing
stream. At no very remote geologic
epoch Of the future Wadai will appar-
entity become a part Of the great des-
ert to the north.
