Clifford Wolfe Tells
Of His Experiences

story of his six months experience

farm far inland, and he cared for
pigs, chickens and ducks, and took
such good care of the place that he
won the good will of the two wo-
men who lived there, and they were
willing to let him have all he want
ed to eat, serving FIVE meals a day,
consisting of bread made of saw
dust, and potatoes, kraut and potato
soup, and coffee made of burn.
bread and bran. The owner of the
place worked in an airplane factory
and got home only once week.
When the news of the signing OF
the armistice came, the people re-
fused to accept it. It was irnpos-
sible to make them believe they
were beaten. They refused to read
the news in their own papers. Mr..
Wolfe said the stories of Hun afro
cities were not overdrawn, because
that was impossible.

Ordnance shops and depots OF the

fore vital munitions could be pro-
duced.
The Industrial agencies Of the de-

featuring arsenals, all equipped to
100 per cent capacity and with cuff
cient reserves Of dies and tools to
OUTFIT q score additional plants.
In the opinion Of Gen. Williams, 'the
summit achievement" of American
mechanical genius during the war
was the successful production in
quantity of French rscuperators, the
device which controlled the recoil of
all cannon and brought the piece back
into position for retiring. Germany's
experts never succeeded I'm making
