Neither is it so crude and restricted.
The Typographical division of the
American Expeditionary Forces has been
organizing and training for months now
in France, and maps containing the
work of American engineers are already
being supplied to the American staff and
field officers. Of course, it has not been
like blazing trails in a wilderness. The
ground has already been very thorough
~ covered, and French army maps and
civil records from various local sources
form basis. But map making has to
be kept scrupulously up to date.
Robert K. Tomlin, jr, who is acting
as war correspondent for "The Engi-
neering News Record" has an article in
the May % issue of that publication, in
which he says:
THE typographical division must be able
to furnish at quick notice maps of enemy
troops, the latter including not only the ad-
vance areas but also the territory in the
rear, such as sites of supply bases, hospi-
'als, aviation training stations, artillery
ana machine gun ranges, storage yards and
camp areas. Obviously, it would be difficult,
II not impossible, for d single detached or
ganization to do the field and air work nee
essary for the production Of all of these
maps, especially on extended front. The
plan Is, therefore, to have each army map
the territory along its own front, while the
typographical division of the intelligence
section, headquarters unit, acts as the
general clearing house for map informa-
son and outlines the broad questions Of
policy by which the special p-making
forces in each army are guided. Its work
involves, of course, very close cooperation
with the air service
Modern battle maps would probably be
impossible without the eagle eyes Of the
air. Mr.. Tomlin thinks that by far the
most valuable source of information for
making maps Of forward areas. is the
aerial photograph. But, Of course, this
Is a subject about which very few details
can be given out. This correspondent
writes:

TAKE NO CHANCES.

The United States is making two
answers to the great German drive.
One is military. The other is fnan-
cial.
The first is already given. We have
all our available fighting men at the
disposal of the allied command; we
have thrown all our military resources
into the scale. Every phase of mill
tary preparation is going ahead with
greater energy and determination
Soldiers, ships, airplanes, guns, shells,
food, all are being rushed, in order
that we may do our part as memb er
of the world-league Of free nations in
curbing the great menace to human
freedom. But without a correspond
ing financial response this effort will
be unavailing.
There is far more involved than the
mere paying of army and navy bills
when they fall due Suppose word
should go across the Atlantic on May
that the Third Liberty Loan had
failed. What heart would our allies
have to keep up the fight? What eff
feet would it have on our own troops,
to learn that we at home were not suf-
ficiently interested in the war, and in
them, to back them up with our mis-
cradle dollars And what rejoicing
there would be in Berlin! 1t would be
a greater triumph for the Kaiser than
any that German arms have won.
OF course there will be no such des-
picable failure. The Liberty Loan is
going to be subscribed, and oversub-
| scribed No other result is thinkable.
But that result has not been attained
yet, and there is little time left.
There must be more speed, more
/ zeal, more sacrifice We must take no
/ chances. The answer must be clear
and unmistakable

EMBROIDERY AND WAR.

The young girl sat under the even
ing lamp sewing while her fathers
guests held serious discussion. One
of the women present, who had done
fine needle work herself in happy days
gone by, was attracted by the charm
ing picture she made, as pretty hands
moved back and forth over the flmy
material Breeding was evident in ev-
cry line of her-the simply ooiffed hair,
the simple dress, the ringless busy
hands.
But-in the woman's mind fingered
appeal in the evening paper:
American soldiers must not be per-
mitted to die for lack of care after
they have risked their lives for AM
erica. But they will die, if sufficient
supplies are not sent from the Uunited
States.
money alone cannot provide these
supplies. They can be provided only
by the hands of women"
And the woman wondered how the
girls could stand it to be doing that
dainty Misunderstanding on that filmy
blouse for her own adjoining while
her countrymen abroad were suffering
and dying for her safety-suffering far
more than was needfu1, because they
lack dressings for wounds. Dying
perhaps, because she was embroider
ing fine soft chiffon instead of sew.

young, turned her energies TO hel

THE OILERS AT WORK.

Hoboes haven't been waiting for
anti-idleness laws, asserts their self
styled king, JEFF Davis. He assures
the country that practically all the
INDECENT gentlemen who formerly wan
dered up and down the land have felt
patriotic STRINGS and have gone to
work
Their choice of occupation is inter
esting. Most of them have gone into
munitions factories by preference
Farm work hasn't held strong ap-
peal for them. although they have
taken to it in some instances.
If the hoboes have turned to work
as an expression of patriotism the
other loiterers ought to be shamed in
to getting busy. There have been
plenty of loafers in the country who
would resent being called hoboes. But
though their idleness has not been SO
picturesque as the tramp's, it has been
quite as wasteful and harmful.
