EXPERIMENTAL DAIRY
PLANT IN FRANCE

French milk will be supplied to 90
900 sick and wounded soldiers in
France by 1000 cows which the
French government has agreed to loan
to the American Red Cross, according
to an announcement issued by the Red
Cross recently. With these cows the
Red Cross will establish a model ex-
perimental dairy plant at the largest
American army hospital in France
$4,000 having been set aside for the
Inauguration of the plant. AS the
dairy will be operated by convalescent
soldiers, the cost of maintenance will
be comparatively small. It is point
ed out, however, that the cost is moi
important, as fresh milk is absolutely
essential in the proper diet Of the
cases at the hospitals.
Dairy experts in the Red Cross ser
vice abroad are confident that thi.
one dairy can be made to produce
enough milk to supply 10000 injured
fighting men daily. AS soon as thu
success of the experiment is assured
the Red Cross will establish at all tn
base hospitals in France similar dair
les, which will be under the manage
ment of one of the leading American
dairy specialists.
Lack of fresh milk, according tt
army doctors, seriously retards the re
covery of wounded and sick men. Fresl
milk at present cannot be secured il
quantities at any price, the only mill
obtainable being condensed milk ship
ped from America.
The dairy in addition to providing
milk will, with the truck gardens op
Grated by the Red Cross at many o
the hospitals, give convalescent sold
iers very desirable employment. Farr
work, the doctors have found, is on
of the best creational employments t
hasten recovery of men suffering fror
shell shock.

Has Big Territory.
Perhaps on the general theory thai
a tank corps man always covers g
large amount of territory, the recruit
ing district in which Lieutenant Gar
land is in charge embraces the Pa
cific coast states, and practically al
of the Rocky mountain states to the
| Mexican border. He will have sew
eral assistants for a 6O-day drive fol
5000 recruits in his district, which
will be opened as soon as the new
draft men are classified. Helena
Butte, Great Falls, Miles City ano
Billings are the cities and districts
in which the drive will be carried or
in Montana.
The present strength of the tanl
corps is $4,000 men, 5000 Of whom
are in active service overseas.

Interesting Account of Condi-
Miss Lena Roy of Bozeman is one
Of the American girls who is doing
her bit in France, her particular bit
being to handle switchboards for the
army. Some times when a battle is
on this is exciting enough work and
the messages that come through
from the front lines to the divisional

published, would make thrilling read

Miss Roy writes back to Montana
friends in an interesting manner con-
corning her work and her surround
ings. One of the principal points
for women war workers to congregate
in France on their way to report for
duty or while waiting changes of de-
tail in their work, is Tours, a famous
! old French cathedral city. Describ-
ing her work and her surroundings,
Miss Roy recently wrote:
Lots of Girls.
Here in constantly increasing num-
bers we have the American and Brit
ish women in uniform, composed of
the Y. w. C. A. girls and the women
attached to the Y. M. C.. A., Yankee
telephone girls, and English women
war workers of all kinds.
Seven months ago the American Y.
w. C. A.. established one of it's hostess
houses on the principal boulevard. 1t
is a big, comfortable house, and there
is always a CHEEKY welcome there for
one. 1t is a homelike place to spend

Again, how many travel worn nur

they have done without the hurriedly
prepared bread and jam and tea, some
times served to a group of 30 or 40
given at the hostess house?
Following the installment of a host
ess house came the inauguration Of
the American Signal Corps Women's
club and the Foyer des allies, a club
for French, British and American wo'

When plans we're finally matured
and it was decided to send telephone

there was a scurrying about to gel

"... FOR TANK SERVICE
Government Comes West to Enlist
Wildcats Who Will Fight.-Sixty-
Day Drive Open.

The reputation of western men as
fighters is such that the United
States is coming into the Lochinvar
country for supermen to man tanks.
A recruiting office was opened in Hell
ena for the tank service a few days
ago. Two hundred men are asked for
by this state. After aviation, the
tank service is the corps d-elite of
the allied armies.
"Do you want to fight?"
Such is the first question fired by
a recruiter for the "treat 'em rough"
corps-known in precise army diction
as the tank corps-at a prospective re-
cruit. He gets it Fright between the
eyes" before he has himself modified
for the preliminaries with the recruit
err. It's a sort of third degree in re-
verse order, and the reply of the pros
pect, and how he gets it across, has
considerable to do with whether he
gets by at all for this section Of the
army, which is continuous action.
First Lieutenant G. G. Garland is
in charge of Montana recruiting for
this service, and the first man to ap-
ply was Patrick E. Kirley of Town
send. Upwards of 20 men called on
the recruiting officer the first day,
and all but three failed to meet the
rigid requirements of the service.
Officers From the Ranks.
cat the present time, we are re-
cruiting volunteers by induction" said
Lieutenant Garland. "When they are
accepted, they are sent to the e
est military headquarters and thence
to Camp Colt, Gettysburg, Pa, for
three months intensive training.
Their training is given the finishing
touches after they have arrived over
seas.
"All officers of the tank corps are
selected from the ranks. The men
advanced to the commissioned rank of
second lientenant-the first step up
are, of course, the one who show the
quickest and best a%daptability for this
service, which is one calling for a
high type of mental alertness and dis
cipline, and physical stamina-or, as
we say in the army-'guts.'
No "Yellow" Wanted.
"Men who are found in the least
yellow are given quick shift to the
ordnance department of the army"
said Lieutenant Garland. "The ex-
aminations for entrance are very rig
i'd, much along the same lines as that
in the aviation section. The train
ing requires good, strong mentality.
"The tank corps is made up of fight
ing men-all others are weeded out.
Final examinations at Camp Colt have
resulted in a ratio of 80 per cent re-
jections. When a man applying for
enlistment, or after being sent to the
training camp, states his preference
for work as a mechanic or other du-
ties which probably would keep him
behind the fighting lines any part of
the time, that very moment he's out of
the corps. Men having a leaning to-
ward any kind of non-combatant work
are not wanted in the corps and they
do not stay in.

SPIRITED BATTLE BETWEEN AIRPLANE
 AND HUN U-B0AT
MACHINE GUN AND DEPTH BOMB ACCOUNTED FOR SEA PIRATE AND MEN IN PLANE WITNESS INSPIRING SIGHT AS ExPLo- sIVE TEARS BOATS VITALs

LONDON, Nov. 16, Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Out from a dense fog streaking the sea shot a small dirigible called a "blimp," man ned by three allied flyers. Directly in from of them a mile away, was a U-boat with it's coming tower and decks well out of the water, says an account of one of the most success ful encounters of a British aircraft with a German submarine.
 Opening out his engine to its full capacity, the pilot steered straight for the German craft, many of whose crew were on deck. They. had seen the airship approaching and imme- diately brought a quick-firing gun into action. With shells bursting about them, the airmen pushed on and soon were within effective machine-gun range
 The observer used his gun to such good effect that with one drum he ac- counted for the submarines gun crew. Thereupon the Germans, without wait ing to rescue their wounded, began hurriedly to submerge.
 Meanwhile the wireless operator of the "blimp" was busy sending out urgent signals to various patrol boats and submarine chasers known to be in the vicinity.
 Climbing to a height of about 1500 feet, the pilot now got ready to use the. machines heavy bombs. The U-boat, although submerged was still easily visible, and taking careful aim through his sights the "blimp's" gun ner pulled the trigged of the releasing gear(>
 The airship, released of a heavy weight, shot up like an express eleva- tor in a New York skyscraper, but careless. of it's movements its occu- pants hung over watching the bomb sink swiftly until it struck the water, perhaps 200 feet ahead of the target.
 When its fuse came into action, flash of lightning seemed to rip through the dark depths of the ocean, and a peculiar brown, cloudy mass en- veloped the fore part of the U-boat.
 It seemed ages before the effect oN the explosion reached the surface. Then, like a geyser, the water shot into the air. In the center of disturb anee the gaping hull of the submarine slowly appeared and its crew could be seen leaping overheard
 By this time two British motor launches were racing to the spot, but they fortunately were far enough away to escape the effects of a terrific explosion which now occurred. The magazine of the U-boat had been fired, and with a succession of mighty deto- nations the whole craft was literally blown to pieces.
 The occupants of the -blimp' were badly shaken, but they escaped with out injury.

 The machines had worked up to a considerable height and attracted the attention of aviators in nearby aercdromes who were not in the se- cret and who were amazed to see a lone German biplane circlIng over an American pJfrsuing group in broad daylight. Four big machines from these other camps came over to see what it was all about, ready to put the finishing touch to the German if their help was needed. By signaling. they were warned that 1t was Sil game and they sailed away again. Very suddenly the German machine swerved and the figure of a man

FRENCH COMMISSION IS TO REC0 Nj Nj EN , COMMERCIAL RELATION
CONFER WITH BUSINESSMEN OF AUSTRALIAN CITIES ON MAT TIERS RELATING TO BETTER MENT OF UNDERSTANDING BE- TWEEN TWO NATIONS

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. Cor respondence of the Associated Press.) When the French mission headed by Gen. Paul Pau, which is now tour ing Australia, returns home it will urge the government to appoint trade commissioners to improve the com mercial relations between France and Australia. Dr. Siegfried and M. Motte, i..c.-.-ers of the mission, have been No. actively engaged in Sydney and .ourne in conferring with com mercial interests and governmental departments with this end in view. Addressing the Commercial Travellers association in Sydney early in Octo- Der NJ. Motte said that the Germans has robbed northern France of Sl0O, 900 900 worth of wool and woolen goods, machinery, leather, copper and other things and he added Tt will take us some time to reorganiZe. and we want support in order to enable us to rebuild trade before Germany can find her place again."
 Subsequently,, at a dinner given to the mission by the commonwealth government in parliament house, Mel bourne, the acting prime minister, William A. Watt, said: For four years prior to the war Australia i'm ported from France a yearly average of $1O,900,O00 worth of goods; while we say it with shame during the same period our yearly average with Ger many was $32,O0O,000. Now we have learned that it is better to do busi- ness with civilized and friendly people. If Australia can by the eff forts of the government and parlia- ment put France in the position that Germany formerly was in the govern ment and parliament will do so with pleasure. We recognize that France deserves special consideration among all the allies"
 Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing, be- fore the war, were the chief French manufacturing centers. German in vasion and occupation ruined them, plunder and destruction being the1 enemy's policy The French govern ment, however, has been for some time preparing for the reoccupation of the wool districts, and it is expect ed that now the factories will be speedily rebuilt and the large consign- ments of American machinery import ed will be installed

HOUSING TOURIST SOLDIERS BIGGEST
 PROBLEM OF Y. M.
THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS RE- LEASED FROM DUTY ON FRONT LINES THRoNG STREETS OF CITY DAILY AND CANNOT AF- FORD FRENCH HOTEL RATES

PARIS. Nov. 7.-Probably the big gest problem that the Young Mems Christian association has to face in the city of Paris, is the housing of soldiers who flock to this city in thou sands for 24 10 AS hours leave. Every American boy who comes to France is eager to see the city of Paris, and the prices of accommodations at the French hotels is beyond the possibili- ties of their slender purses. The they can go and for one franc a night can get a bed and a shower. Meals are served at cost.
 The Pavilion is the largest of these hotels and as an illustration the crowd that flocked in there the other night is good one to be guided by. The hotel was full to overflowing. The other hotels in the neighborhood on the overflow list were also crowded to the limit The office also has long list of rooms which French fam lilies will rent to soldiers. The list was exhausted. yet the men kept pour ing in. Seventy-six men took off their coats, rolled them up, made them into pillows and slept on the floor of the lounge room" At eleven all lights were out.
 At 11:3O p. m. Miss Elizabeth Gil man of Baltimore. Md. who has charge of the canteen service at the Pavilion thought she would call it ap1 fn hnd nf irfuf as she was starting up stairs, she heard a pounding on the door, and went to see what it was.
 She opened the door to find S4 en- listed men who had travelled IS hours on a railroad train. They wanted cover for the night. and flor the love of Uncle Sam, sister, food of some sort" She let them in, went up stairs and called another canteen worker Together they went into the kitchen and stole the bread that was hidden in the closet for morning. They found a key to the storeroom and dragged out canned meat to make sandwiches. They started a fire in the stove and made hot chocolate, and the 34 boys were fed.
 Then the two women went into the dining room with the tables all set and ready for breakfast, and cleared away those tables. and the men were only too glad to roll up on them and on the floor and sleep the sleep that only tired. war-weary soldiers Ctn sleep.
 This is a situation that the Y. NJ. C. A. meets from day to day, in spite of the fact that it is renting every available vacant hotel in the city

AMERICAN TOBACCO RELEASED.
fBe Revlew Leased WIrel


 SALONIKI, Dec 7.-The opening up of Bulgaria to the allies has caused the release of S6,eOO,OOO worth of American-owned tobacco in the towns of Seres, Drama and Kayalla on the Greek coast of the Aegean sea Dor dering Turkey, occupied by the Bull gars until their surrender. The trans portstion of this supply may material ly affect the shortage in high-grade tobacco.
 Since the beginning of the war huge new acreages in Greek Mace donia have become the principal to- bacco source of Europe. The Greek crop has increased 70 per cent dur ing the war. The labor comes mainly from skilled Turkish growers who escaped from Smyrna and European Turkey to produce tobacco in Greece for entente armies.

in these colonies; by this ruling the new farmers will be surrounded by their comrades-in-arms and a close community spirit is fostered. The colonies contain from twenty-five to fifty farms and are located in south ern Alberta, some are irrigated, oth- CTS can easily be made so. Each colony has a central or demonstra- ton farm under the care of an agri- cultural expert whose advice and help are at the settlers call. while this farm serves as a social centre.
 Each farm is equipped with a house, barn and well, is partly fenced and broken, in some cases seeded. Each soldier is provided with live stock and machinery suf- fiicient to operate his 80 or 160 acres. If he lacks the money to see him through the first year, the com pany will advance the necessary funds. No payments are required for three years. The terms are very easy, being so planned that the soldier farmers will have a good start on the road to prosperity be- fore being called upon for a sub stantial payment.
