structed.
1917-The human voice transmitted
by radio telephone from airplane to
ground.
Talk Thousands Of Miles.
Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development Of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use by
engineers Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culmi-
mated In successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Airing
ton to stations thousands Of miles
away.
In May, 1917, steps were taken to
combine the experience Of the engi-
neers and Of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later the airplane tele-
phone was fact, and in October, 1917,
long-range test was made. Tele-
.phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in flight up to rs
miles apart and from airplane to
ground up to distance Of As miles.
The development of voice command
ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst-
ner field. La. in May, 1918. On June 1
an aerial review was given by an air
feet of two squadrons Of 10 planes
each, followed by close order drill
by a section Of six airplanes.
Throughout the review and the drill
command was exercised by the. voice
Of the commander flying with the fleet.
At the signing of the armistice, de-
velopment and training in voice COM
manded flying was well under way.
Numerous demonstrations were held
during November and December and a
fleet of 204 airplanes was Unanswered
in the air at San Diego by voice COM
mand.
In the practical application Of the
airplane radio telephone to airplanes,
over 5000 flights have been made with
this apparatus in this country. In the
last 1000 flights there have been only
IA cases of airplane trouble and only
25 cases of radio trouble.
Shipments of the apparatus to
France In quantities began August and
September, 1918, and Of trained air
service radio personnel in October.
Had the war continued the yoice-com-
manded military air unit would I'M
doubtedly have made itself felt.

ashington.-Previou to the entry
Of the United States into the war, the
problem of airplane radio development
had received attention from the army.
In August, 1910, the first wireless
transmission from airplanes was made.
In the years following the development
Of the airplane radio was carried on
through a series Of accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows:
1e12-Message transmitted from air
plane to ground by wireless telegraph
over distance of so miles.
1915-Fan type Of driving the wire

The British postal censor Is soon 60
Ing the way of the telegraph and cable
censorship-out. Judging from criti-
cisms in America, such as that Of the
Merchants association to the postmas-
ter general, the going Of this war in
stitution will be just as joyously well
coined abroad as in England. But
whatever the petulance of those who
think war restrictions have held over
too long, the postal censor, In the opin-
ion of those who have watched his
work from the viewpoint Of British and
allied security throughout the war,
has been Of the greatest service In
defeating Germany.
The nearness of the date Of the de-
mise of this institution has called forth
considerable information about Its
work. Thus far, however, there has
been no amusing side such as was
shown during the obseQuies for the
cable censorship.
Just after Mr.. Lloyd George succeed
ed Lord Kitchener as secretary for
war 1t Is related that he provided the
ammunition for the censor to give the
paragraphers lease on war life. Mr..
Lloyd George went to Bramshott to
bid good by to a Canadian division
about to cross the channel. After
the inspection he made a speech from
his motorcar, concluding with a quo
tation from the Bible: "And may the
Lord Of Hosts be with you" Core
spondents who sent their dispatches
FIRST to the censor were surprised to
lind the final words Of the secretary
running in this fashion, "And may
- - - - be with you" 1t
was amusing but also serious, In the
minds Of the news writer's, so they
protested. However, they got their re-
ply from the censor's department: :
1.-THE kaiser, having claimed the Lord
as his aid-de-camp, no reference must
be made to the Divinity In this connec-

Never Killed a Hun.
DTVUurb 8, UT IIuTTy' IVU' ~
Dear friends and neighbors:

| wen, L suppose you all WONGei
how many Huns Fat Snyder got on
his hunt. | will just tell you l
never killed one, was too far
from the front line. The artillery
always stays few kilometers back
and fires over the doughboys. My
duty was farther back than the
guns. l was placed back to our
camp to take care of saddle horses,
sick and wounded horses. l ran
kind of a livery stable At one
time l had I'll horses to care for.
and believe me had job at times
for some daysT would have to sad
die 8 or 10 head to carry messages
and 10 60 here and there for am
munition. Well, that was pref
ty good job for Fritzs Shells did
not come over to see me often, but
once in while he would send enc
and as luck would have it he never
did any harm only to scare me t.
death. And believe me when those
gar bage cans came whistling over
they sure would make m ms hat
raise and run like hi for dugout.
| We have seen some real war and
have had plenty of hardships.
When we first came to the front,
we were in the St. Mihiel drive
which was some drive too. believe
me, but we made. them boiler KAN
arade.
Well after that most Of our d.
vision (the 8oth) moved t. Yer
dun but the artillery stayed there
and fired toward Metz. We then
prepared to drive for Metz Well
the last few days Ct the war we
were ready to drive but the Huns
came across and signed up and we
! never did make that drive.
That would have been some
drive too, believe me, as the Dutch
had so many mines and traps fixed
for US. But if we had started we
would have captured it, for when
the Yanks start they are hard to
stop.
Well after we won the game we
stayed on the front and rested up
for about two weeks, and then our
division moved to Germany to help
occupy the Rhine land. We start
ed the day after Thanksgiving and
travelled till December IL. BY
{ that time we were to the end of
, our journey. We had lots of fun
and lots of grief and worry where
we were going to sleep the next
night. We always got place to
sleep and rest for a few hours.
But it was hard going at that. We
stood it though o. k. except for a
few sore feet. We saw lots of pref
ty country and some that was not
so pretty. We went over the old
battlefield which had been fought
or in the early part OF the war.
H After a few days of travelling we
we're in Germany. My you should
have seen the Huns look us over,
| don't know whether they were
looking at the horses, the cannons
or the Yanks, but at that we didn t
stop.
We went through the little coun-
try of Luxenburg and also the city
of Luxenburg. That was surely a
fine country with its beautiful
: scenery and the farther we went
