 The safes are equipped with time-locks, set to open at 8:45 in the morning. If an officer or draughtsman arrives before that time and wants to go to work, he's out of luck.
 The Bureau of Aeronautics Is more secretive in guarding its blueprints than other naval offices, because one set of drawings would reveal the entire design of an air- plane. In the case of battleship a similar set of drawings would reveal only a trifling portion of the whole plan. BRITISH PROPAGANDA
 Lord Beaverbrook was so care: full to avoid the appearance Of spreading propaganda during his recent trip to New York that he almost dodged at the sight of his own shadow.
 His trip was the antithesis of Lord Northcliffe's during the World War, when Northcliffe crossed the Atlantic with his little black bag to start the machinery of pro-British propaganda.
 Real reason for Beaverbrook's trip to the United States was to obtain newsprint, for which Bri- tish newspapers are desperately hard up. German submarines have disrupted the flow of wood pulp from Finland and the Bal- tic.
 Beaverbrook, 1t happens, is ii1- tensely unpopular with his own government, and would be the last man selected for propaganda pur- poses. Once extremely reluctant to have Britain enter the war, his papers now have been urging Chamberlain to take a vigorous offensive. Typical headlines in his papers are:
 "When is g war not a war? .... When it's declared"
 Meanwhile the British goveTn- ment is following the policy of Captain Liddell Hart, famous mil- itary strategist, who advises against the wasting of human manpower by throwing them against machine guns and artil- lery. Instead, he urges a slow war of starvation against Ger many.
 NOTE-British circles are ex- tremely cautious about propaganda. are even canceling previously scheduled lecture tours to this country for fear they will be mis- interpreted. Even the Welsh Sing CTS, booked for an extensive tour one year in advance, have had their trip cancelled.

 WAR HORSES
 Foreign buyers of U. s. horses and mules for the warning armies are discovering two things: (D that the American horse is a much higher bred animal than during the last war, (2) that he costs more.
 The first is due largely to the work of the Army Remount Ser- vice.
 During the last war l,033, HOO American horses and 78,922 mules were sold to the Allies. In addi- ton, 10000 horses and 19.000 mules went to the A. E. F. This heavy export had serious effect on the quality of U. s. horses and after the war the Calvary launched a long-range program to improve the breed.
 Through the remount Service, sp0rtsinen and breeders were invited to loan or give their thoroughbred animals for breed- ing purposes. Many responded, some contributing famous race horses. As a result, the Army Remount Stations at Fort Royal, Va. Fort Reno, Okla, and Fort Robinson, Nebr., have 80 or Che best biooded horses in the count try.
 Service is free to anyone who wants to improve his stock. Since 1920 the Remount Service has bred i44.000 common work mares
