The bullets developed by the United
States ordnance department have been
tested on land and from airplanes to
see II there is any difference In their
performance when fired from a quickly
moving airplane In the upper atmos-
phere and when fred on land.
These tests indicate that the United

Washington.-The war department
authorizes the following:
The present war brought forth a
new kind of ammunition for airplane
use in the form of special cartridges
containing bullets for armor-piercing,
tracing, and incendiary purposes.
With the progress Of the war the
more vital parts OF the airplane were
protected with light armor, so that 1t
became necessary to introduce the ar
mor-piercing bullet.
AS the gasoline tanks were particu-
larly susceptible to incendiary explo-
sion. it was necessary to procure a
bullet containing IN inflammable sub
stance, ignited upon discharge, which
would carry the spark of flame into
the tank upon piercing 1t.
AS the target, the enemy airplane,
was within fighting range for only
brief momeatc at a time, and as there
were no means Of determining the fire
effect as on land, a tracer bullet con-

In the city itself the Americans
found n of the largest re~frigerating

France, and absorbed il last July,
though 1t was then many times larger
than their needs. Its capacity is close
TO two million pounds, and while 1t
has at times been nearly full, the sup
ply is never permitted to fall below
half a million pounds. There are more
than 100000 pounds there now.
Direct railroad lines lead not only
from the bakery and the refrigeratng
plant to the camps but also from the
Seaports and the city.
Several miles westward, at the low
er apex of the triangle, lies another
French town which has been oil but
bodily taken over by the Americans
as a storage center. Here non-perish-
able foods-canned goods. salt, sugar
and vegetables other than those bought
fresh from the French peasants-are
stored.
One Of the largest buildings which
the Americans have taken over Is de-
voted to equipment. Here are stored
many thousands of uniforms and ev'
cry article of clothing from shoes and
caps to buttons and handkerchiefs.
The needs of the troops is estimated
at several pairs of shoes a year and
three or four uniforms.

1t was at Cambria that he went

imperative to send word to the gener-
al staff, and volunteers were asked for.
There was no other way to commune
cate. Lieutenant Singh offered his
services. He mounted a horse and

others had volunteered and been killed
in the rain of machine gun bullets from
the German lines, but a few hundred
yards away. Singh gallOped at full
speed into the region of death. He Is

perienced. A short distance away his
horse fell under him. The Indian fin

The message required a reply and he
volunteered to deliver 1t. He sailed
forth on another horse and with his
body glued to that animal he plunged
ahead with the machine gun fire again
playing on him. A second time his
horse was killed. He finished this
journey also on foot running as swift
ly as his trained legs could carry him.

But his task was not finished. His

could be sent to the staff the battalion
might be rescued. Singh said he would

him his choice Of horses and he select

most dangerous dash of all. The dis

human being could get through the
