sALuTEs PHOTO OF PREMIER
Instructive Action of Officer Reveals
Respect of French for
M. Clemenceau.

Paris.-Little unconscious acts often
reveal the real measure of the popu-
larity of a great leader.
In the photographers showcase not
far from the fashionable Pare Mon
ceau there is among other pictures an
excellent almost life-size head of M.
Clemenceau. A young French officer
who was passing the shop the other
day glanced casually at the showcase.
Perceiving the picture of his chief he
instinctively raised his hand to sa-
Lutte and passed on unaware that his
spontaneous tribute had been observed.
In the early days of the long-range
gun bombardment of Paris, says the
Matin, 1t vas stated that the shells
were made from new type OF steel
alleged with vanadium, which gave it
exceptional properties. But analysis
has shown that the shells are made of
ordinary nickel and chrome steel, such
as is in current use for making guns
both In France and Germany and
whose properties are well known.

Others may be equipped with bolo
knives-for instance, as members of
a special detachment to accompany
raiding forces within the enemy lines.
Their work must be quick, silent and
thorough. From Luneville to Cantigny
the Germans have found 1t so.
The small arms division of the Unit
ed States ordnance department be-
lieves that the bolo knife has points Of
superiority over any. knife in use on
the European battlefield, else it would
not have been adopted for our use.

as hard as steel itself. And for an
erstwhile civilians muscles to become
sufficiently hardened takes time and
training.
The daily work. the fresh air, plen-
ty of sleep and the excellent daily ra-
tiOns are doing wonders In producing
as fine bunch of real fighting men as
can be found anywhere. The officers
school will be continued indefinitely.
AS fast as men complete the prescribed
course, others will take their places.
From now on, all commissioned Off
GERS will be selected from the ranks.
The tank corps is a progressive
unit. Every once in while a bat
TALON will disappear overnight, bound
for somewhere" Recruits will fill
their places and the work of training
will move right along. New Officers,
trained simultaneously with the men,
will command the disappearing bat
TALON.

Los Angeles, Cal.--"Lonesome Jack"
Altman king of all rattlesnake CATCH
ers, offers to gather 10000 side Wlndersi
or hornet rattlesnakes If the govern
ment will let him, dump them into
trenches vacated to the Germans DIV
the Americans and let the snakes do
the rest. The side winder is a deatnt
dealer extraordinary, strikes three
times as fast as any other RATHER, and,l
unlike others, does not act on the heart
but paralyzes the nerves within ~
minutes.
Altman would have no trouble In
gathering them in Arizona and the I'M
perial valley. he says. The Germans
if they possessed such deadly weap-
on would not hesitate to use it, Altman
believes.
"The beauty of my idea is that tha
RATHER can live five or six months IN
captivity without either food or water
and they will be just as effective dur
ing that time," says Altman. Il have
an antidote for rattlesnake bite that
could be supplied to anyone that han
dies them, but the Germans WOULD
not know what stung them.
"8Iy idea would be to catch them
and then soak their tails in warm wa
ter. Then the shell that rattles and
gives warming could be removed with
out injury to the snake. Their fangs
are so sharp that unless the warning is
given with the rattles person would
hardly know what bit him. Side wind
ers range in size from four to twelve
feet.
