plest food without it causing untold
suffering. In a short time after eating
the food would ferment AID throw off
gas which blOated me up and caused
pains in my stomach. Even got to
where plain water would lay in my
stomach few minutes, then belch up
sour and hot as fire. l had a lump in
my side and the doctors said I'd never
be we'll till had an operation, but
would not consent to one, hoping all
the time to find some medicine to re-
lieve me.
This is an outline of how I was
feeling when | began taking Dreco, the
new medicine which seemed to be
talked of so much around here. After
the third dose of Dreco | got relief
from the gas and pains in my stomach,
the vomiting stopped, my bowels be-
gan to act and l was actually hungry,

camera a picture Is made for every bull
let that would have been fired, showing
the exact position of the opponents
aeroplane at the time Of firing and thus
determining whether the plane would
have been hit in vital area or not. Not
only this, but the time of making each
shot is photogra phed, so there can be
no dispute as to which aviator gets In
the first lucky burst of shots.
At the time Of the entrance Of the
United States into the war British
aviators were using gun camera pat
termed after a Lewis machine gun, with
a long lens barrel substituted for the
shooting of the machine gun. This
camera was a cumbersome contrivance,
designed to make only twelve exposures
at one loading, and for each exposure a
manual operation was required. In other
words the aviator could make only one
shot at time and only twelve shots be
fore he would have to reload This
meant that his Photographic marksman-
ship was very much limited as compared
with the actual use OF the machine gun.
With the true cooperative spirit that was
evinced by all the Allies in giving us
the benefits Of their previous experiences
in the war, the British authorities turned
this gun camera over to our army men,
who in turn gave an American company
orders to make duplicates Of it.
1t was here that Yankee initiative,
which has always been so much in evi-
dence in national emergencies and which
refuses to be satisfied with what has
gone on before, sprang to the front.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-20

The foundations for this work might be
said to have been laid on the Mexican bor-
der. That gave US the skeleton of an organi-
zat!on and some experienced men. On that
we have built and are stilk building The
central thought of the Knights of Columbus,
and l might say the only thought, has been
to cooperate with the army and navy and
the Commission on Training Camp Activi-
ties, and from the very beginning have held
to the policy Of not charging the men for
the creature comforts we were enabled to
purchase with the money intrusted to us
by their relatives and friends
"One special effort has been to keep down
overhead expenses SO as to leave the last
possible penny for the actual use of the
men"
Right here it might be said that the gem
eral Offices Of the knights OF Columbus War
Board, in 461 Fourth Avenue, bear evidence
Of the desire to keep down the overhead"
Before the war the quarters were & loft,
such as dot the wholesale cloak and suit
district Since they have been cut up into
Offices, but they are such Offices as one
would look for In the headquarters Of q
moderately prosperous manufacturing con-
Germ. There mahogany and no shining
brass in sight rugs the floors, nor
expensive prints the walls. On guess,
the fittings in Mr. Mulligan's private Office
could be duplicated for $500, $40 moro
than the selling price Of the typewriter his
stenographer uses.
when the time comes to break up, there
will be little salvage, for there will be
little to salve.
"More important than even the overhead
has been selecting men who could and would
work with the men We realized that the
man for the work would be the type Of
who would serve the men, and not assume
to be their keepers and superiors in all
things. AS have said, we have been very
uccessful-fortunate, perhaps, is the word.

Every member of the order is proud and,
think, justiAably so, of our secretaries.
"These secretaries have kept their huts
open at all times and, regardless Of creed
color. distributed what they might have
on hand or could get. To US they were all
American boys, and the uniform of Uncle
Sam covered everything. Where we could
and the men came to US, we served the men
of the Allied armies. We couldn't, of
course, reach out for them, but when they
came to US they were welcome. We made
no effort to serve them IN q special way. for

the American boys.

seemed to present an insurmountable
obstacle, rs every one thought the tim
ing would have to be done mechanically,
and what that would mean in gears and
mechanisms can only be left to the i'm
agination. Finally one Of the inventors
of the camera suggested that the timing
be done optically, and as result of this
suggestion one Of the unique develop
ments Of the war was brought about.
Moreover, what seemed so difficult was
really solved in an amazingly simple
manner. Use is made of a system of
mirrors, one attached to an arm fastened
to the lens barrel and the other inside
the lens barrel which reflect an image
of the face Of watch attached to the
lens barrel onto the same part of the
film on which the opposing aeroplane Is
photographed. Thus the time in split
seconds is shown on the film for each
exposure.
Each gun camera is ordinarily pro-
vided with three magazines, which may
be loaded in daylight. If an embryo
fighting aviator, therefore, takes up with
him these three magazines loaded to
capacity, he can Shoot" 300 times. The
film in the magazine is ordinary motion
picture film, which travels from a spool
in the small end Of the magazine past
a light trap, where it is exposed, to
reel five inches in diameter in the larger
end Of the magazine. The magazine Is
1OA inches long and inches wide at
the larger end.
In the Lewis machine gun, after a
bullet has been fired, the gases result
New-York tribune., 1919-04-20

aerial fights machines are going at
tremendous speeds and the position of
the opposing machine at the time Of fir
ing a bullet (making exposurel is not
quite the same as at the time the bullet
reaches the machine. An aviator can
tell, however, fairly well by the direc-
ton the opposing aeroplane was going
as shown on the film, whether it would
have been hit IN vital spot or not
Thus, If the machine is pointed toward
the centre or dissection of the lines and
IS very close to the dissection the chances
of its having been hit would have been
very good. If the machine has been
shown in the same position with regard
to the centre point, but going away from
1t, the margin Of speed would probably
just about have saved it from being hit
In a straight pursuit q hit is indicated
when some vital part of the machine
covers up the centre of the field.
The gun camera is registered prom
erly in relation to the sights of the ma
chine gun TO which if is attached hv
first sighting the machine gun sight on
some definite point certain distance
away, and then moving the camera 40
the point Of the bisecting lines Of the
graticule fall exactly on the point on
which the gun was sighted. The camera
IS then clamped securely to the machine
gun.
The value Of the gun camera IN t,,a,r
ing may be easily appreciated, and it ,s
certain that aeroplane tactics will be
improved through its use, even in peace
times.

Everybody
Helping

"Everybody's working with u.s." says Mr.
Mulligan, touching the home phases OF
the work. I'VE rather looked for let
ting up in interest with the cessation OF
actual fighting, but we have found none.
On the contrary, the folks who were go
anxious about the boys when there was
fighting are just as anxious now that they
be well taken care Of until they are safely
at home again and settled back into nor
nal life And everybody is just as willing
to work as when the war was at its height
some perhaps more anxious to work in
& spirit OF thanksgiving that their own are
safe and that peace is come again.
This, OF course, IS pleasing to Us, for
We realize, as must every one, that by sup
plying the creature wants Of the men, by
keeping them entertained and contented,
they escaping the homesickness that
was such serious factor in the Spanish
war and keeping some out Of the mischief
IN which young, healthy lads with little to
do and lots Of time to do it in are apt
to find themselves.
"The one sad feature Of the work is the
loss Of some of our men and the serious
injury Of many others. That, however, was
to be expected, and every man who went
across realized that he had not been picked
to attend box party On the other side

The answer 20 that VIII have % come

and it Is best to attend to that before con
sidering other things"
And Mr.. Mulligan-they used to call him
Billy in the old days when be was student
at Yale-set about doing some Of the things
on hand, TO be exact ordering by telegraph
supplies which the men on the other side
had cabled for.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-20

One Of the managers of the camera fac
tory at once questioned the need Of
heavy separate gun camera with its big
lens barrel Why not have a special
camera attachment that could be fast
ened to the gun itself that the aviator
is continually using? The engineering
department of the company was given
the job Of answering the question-and
they did it. Not only did they build
camera that could be attached directly
to the gun in place Of the ordinary am
munition magazine, but they produced
camera that could make 100 exposures
on one loading, number equivalent to
100 rounds of ammunition, and like the
machine gun itself, fire in "bursts" and
continue firing automatically as long as
the trigger is under pressure.
The Gun Camera, Mark I, as it is
officially called, weighs only thirteen
pounds all told, and has a lens barrel
but 8 inches long and 2 u inches in
diameter. 1t is Of metal construction
throughout. The magazine Of the cam
era, in which is placed strip of film,
instead Of being circular, as is the car
fridge magazine CT the machine gun, is
oval shaped 1t is fitted with a Lewis
gun magazine lock, which completely
fastens the magazine to the gun camera
Soon after the gun camera was put
into use arguments developed as to
which aviator first "shot" the other,
where both showed "hits' on their film.
A timing device which would record the
time of each exposure was then de-
manded, and for n period this demand

with the necessity Of specialized train
ing for battling in the skies.
Aerial craftsmanship, in combat and
complicated by all the modern circus"
tricks of tail spins, loops and ICONS,
was naturally Of an entirely different
nature from that on terra frma. The
machine gun in q combat plane, ad-
justed on a doubly revolving frame
which permitted firing at any and all
angles, developed a new technique Of
shooting which, although extremely diff
fcult for instruction, was so essential to
air supremacy that its mastery was
recognized as the greatest problem Of
aviation.
Speed, deftncss and accuracy were
recognized as absolute essentials OF air
fighting. The skill of the individual, it
was realized meant not only the de-
struction Of his opponent, but the pro-
lection Of his own life, his own machine,
and more important, the safety Of the
Photographic and visual observations to
be carried back TO the intelligence head
quarters and the protection from enemy
observers Of military operations behind
the Allied lines
To eliminate from fighting units men
who lacked nerve and steadiness as
marksmen In the air-very different
shooting from that on tho ground-was
the great problem, and after many ex-
periments 1t was finally solved, surpris
ing as It may seem, by the use Of
cameras instead of gums in actual aerial
nanmuvres.

so, instead Of the work becoming lighter
and less extensive, it is growing. We are
now arranging to send men into Russia.
an going abroad again in three weeks and
will then send some of the men now In
Europe to Archangel. They are wanted
there, and there is no doubt they will be
useful. We are in France ahead Of the army
and We are now established not only In
France, England Belgium. Italy, Germany
and Luxembourg. but we have establishments
in Holland as well With men in Russia we
will have secretaries wherever American
soldiers, sailors and marines are to be
found.
"To date we have sent about LOO secre-
taries overseas. Now there are $50 secre-
taries working over there, who are assisted
by 100 civilians, discharged soldiers and
others On transports that are coming
home with the men we have So secretaries
at work These secretaries have been and
are the servants and not the keepers of the
men.
"Of course, there has been change in
the work since the ermistice. While the
boys were Sighting. our organization at the
front supplied tham with hot chocolate,
cigarettes candy and other creature com
forts. We are s,ill supplying them, but
the big demand now is for periodicals
newspapers, games, athletic goods, enter
tainment and sports. All these our men
are arranging
IN passing, I might say that we have
been very fortunate in the men we have
sent abroad. They have measured up to
their work in splendid shape. We were
fortunate, 700, in the type Of men we were
able TO Get. Many of them left big bust
nesses and all the comforts and ease that
go with means 20 get over there, and dig
into whatever was to be done. These saw
that once the ermlstice came the boys
would need more attention instead of less,
Il their splendid morale was to be kept up.
In one way the work has been made
lighter. We early established warehouses
at al Of the ports Of entry and at most of
'ns centra distributing points, but it was
not slways cay to ret stuff up where 1t
vas needed We had to rely on our own
motor service and such as the army could
spare Us. Now VIC can ship by rail to the
interior and into Germany
