French Front (by mail.)-Accuraev
and efficiency have been made possibl,
for the French artillery by the invention
OF an instrument that enables Frencb
map makers to locate almost exactly an
OBJECT Within the enemy lines which has
been photographed from an airplan.
In transferring TO II Ia the photo
graphed object such say, as an encna,
battery or munitiOn dump, the margin
Or error is limited to less than fin,

This permits the French artillery la

Tor the gunner to have even a distant
view of the object he is firing at.
70 take u photograph of the enemy
lines from a French airplane is an easy
matter, but to transfer the objects
photographed TO their exact location ON
q maj was for Il time extremely diff
cult. This was due to the varying
heights and angles from which the ain
plane observers made their photo
graphs. BY the invention of one of the
officers attached to the geographical
section this difficulty has been almost
eliminated.
Not only the aerial observation serl-.
ice, but other methods of spotting Ger
man positions-more especially cannon
and machine gun emplacements-are
utilized as aids To the work of the mill
.ary map maker. The flashes of guns

form one valuable adjunct to his work.

state food administrators nave been
given full power to seize wheat held
with unpatriotic intent. Broad con-

the grain is being seized and paid for
at he $500 price.

GREAT LAKES BAND is
PLAYING BIG PART

Great Lakes-The band of the United
States, as President Wilson once charac-
terized the Great Lakes Naval Training
station band of nearly zoo pieces. is play
ing no small part in the third Liberty
loan campaign.
More than n month ago Secretary of the
Navy Joseph Daniels. in response to the
treasury departments urgent request.
authorized Captain William A. Moffe.t,
Great Lakes commandant, and originator
of the big band idea, to turn detachments
of the band to Liberty loan organizations
in n district desiring the band.
The immediate result was requests for
bands requiring in excess OF LOCO mell.
These requests were not confined to the
middle west but came from as far east as
New York. as far south as Dallas, west
as far as Denver and north as far as Mir
neapolis and points in Montana.
Consequently the original plan of send
Ing out small detachments of the famous
band to state organizations to campaign
TOT Liberty bonds was modified to a GER
tain extent and plans were made to senl
q band OF $50 pieces with Lieut.. John
Philip Scusa as conductor on a tour Of the
larger cities of the middle west, south
and east.
In addition. small attachments number
Ing from IS to Is musicians under com
petent bandmasters have been detailed to
Liberty loan organizations in Ohio, I'LL
nois. Missouri, Iowa, Indiana. Arkansas.
Tennessee. Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado.
Oklahoma. Pennsylvania and New York.
The first such detachment made a tou,
OF Iowa. This detachment numbered 2,
musicians and a drill squad of eight armed
seamen.
The big band tour opened at st. Louis
April s when Vice President Thomas II.
Marshall spoke at an open air inspira-
tional meeting in .orest Park, the site II
the 1904 worlds fair.
Dates of the big band with lieutenant
Sousa at Its head conform as far as pos
sible with the dates OF prominent speak
ers SUCH as Secretaries McAdoo. Daniels
and the vice president.
