Large Fires Destroy
Nozi Farm Stocks

Within 10 days, six large fires, the
CAUSE ofiwhich is unknown, broke out IN
occupied Belgium.
Four large farms were completely
destroyed. The first at Eegenhoven, near
Heverle, had in its buildings large guam
titles of straw, freshly cut hay and
stores of wood. The barn of the second,
at Herderen near Tongres, was full OF
grain.
This farm, already once destroyed IN
an air raid in 1910, had only just been
rebuilt. The third farm was situated
at Kruishoek, near Ingelmunster and
the last one, situated at Lisseweghe. near
Brugge, had nearly IS tons of flax in
store A Nazi-controlled newspaper, re-
porting this fact, adds that incendiarism
is suspected.
A mill at Falaen (Namur) which con-
tanned large quantities of grain, was
burned to the ground Garnered stocks,
crops and cattle sheds were completely
destroyed at Gesves and Houyet Namur
province), Lokeren, Herenthals, Ampsin
and Zonkal near Aartselaer). At Loke-
rem, sheaves of corn were set on fire, re-
sulting in the destruction Of the entire
crop. The cause of these fires Is un-
known.
A second large fire broke out less than
eight days after the first at Lisseweghe.
This time, 275 tons of fax were de-
stroyed by flames As in the case of the
former, arson is suspected. One hundred
and seventy-six tons of straw were de-
stroyed by fire at Hennuyeres.

Before going into the ground, the pipe

the Germans and the Vichy authorities
of an Allied invasion.
Naturally the Allies plans are kept
secret. Outside the fact that a sizable
American force is now concentrated
south of Dakar in British and French
colonies in the Gulf OF Guinea and in
Liberia, there is no information available
whether an amphibious force is on the
way to the coast of Africa. There is
little question, however, that if such "A
force is on the way, the mistakes of the
past will not be repeated.
Informed Washington quarters con-
slider as fallacy the assumption that
the French won't fight. II an over
whelmfng Allied force were to appear on
the West African coast, it is likely that
the French would offer only token resist
ance. But unless we had large enough
force to make them believe we could take
and hold North Africa, then they would
fight us tooth and nail.
There is no more love for the Nazis in
Africa than there is in France. But there
is a wholesome fear among the French
that If they make faux pas and join
weak Allied force, the price they will
have to pay to the Germans will be SO
great as to Offset taking such a risk.
The fact that the French do not have
sufficient gasoline to operate the planes
the Germans have allowed them to keep
should not be taken too seriously The
Germans have plenty of gasoline for
emergencies and it is possible that by
now German air squadrons are located
at strategic points from which they could
fly in time to offer stubborn resistance
to an Allied amphibious force. For the
present the French cannot refuse to
permit the Germans to send oil and gaso-
line for tanks and planes to any point
they desire, because to refuse would be
regarded by the Nazis as collusion with
the Allies. Reprisals likely would start
at once.
If an offensive has been decided on,
there is no doubt but that these questions
have all been taken into consideration
and neither Washington nor London will
make the tragic mistake OF starting an
offensive without being fully prepared.
The Dieppe adventure cost the Allies
heavily, probably more in morale than in
men and material.

Technology dubs this line the big-inch.
That's because the pipe is "a inches in
diameter, about twice the size of any
previous oil line. Its capacity will be
100000 barrels daily, equivalent to the
average daily delivery of $4,000 tank cars.
The swab's job isn't merely to chase
out skunks, squirrels or snakes. He
scours corrosion and metallic inner pro-
jections. He proceeds on wheel cradle

Occasionally he emerges with scorched,

truly half alive in every inch, even
though this life is minute and unseen.
For one thing, the steel can stretch, not
merely from heat and cold, but like
stretching your arm. A mile can stretch
more than six inches, and this steel arm
extends hundreds of miles.
Could Twist Like Snake.
The pipe could buckle like the hump
ing back OF snake if the unseen stretch
was not taken out as the pipe is lowered
into the trench.
The pipe is welded and prepared along
side the endless trench which goes in an
almost straight line, through swamps,
over hills and mountains, across rivers,
where the work is done on line OF
barges The pipe grows like a snake,
the front end stretching about 40 feet

It is lowered into the trench much as

foremost section curving up out OF the
ground to rest alongside the trench.

At burying hour, called lowering-in,
several big yellow cats-caterpillar trac-
tors-pick up block-long length. It
hangs from their long booms writhing
like living thing, although weighing
about ton for every 20 feet.
The cat engines shake the ground with
throbbing thunder. On the opposite
side of the trench, facing them, like an
orchestra leader looking at his musicians,
is the supervisor of the lowering-in.

do not always require use Of the minia-
ture lightning flasher.
In lowering-in, occasional loops Of
pipe, a quarter block long, are left
bumped over wooden supports above the
trench level Those loops are left to
take out the stretch. They are generally
let down in the early morning, when the
pipe is at the same temperature as the
permanently cool trench bottom. Low
ering the loops properly packs the end
less steel line so that tension and stretch
is uniform everywhere.
Some of these gods Of the pipe ma
chimes work with faces grotesquely
smeared with white zinc ointment to pro-
tect them against fumes Of the tar
enamel. Occasionally the heavy boots OF
the swamp crews are marked by tangs
of snakes-in the Southern Illinois and
Missouri region, cotton mouths, rattlers
and copperheads.

stepped on what looked like branch as

lodged backward just in time as cop

trench edge.
Seven contracting companies, from
Texas to Illinois, are constructing Sec

laying began in August and is expected
to be finished by December /. The 10
pumping stations are due to start the oil
flowing by January l.
Will Reach East.
The big inch is only half a loaf. The
rest will extend the line to Philadelphia
and New York. For the hard-hit Eastern
seaboard the big inch is expected to
make available an added 125O00 to u.s.
900 barrels of oil day through present
facilities beyond Illinois. The East, using
all available tank cars, has been getting
about 100000 to 85000O barrels of Oil a
day this fall-against an estimated aver
age minimum need of 100000 barrels.
One ton of steel in the line can deliver
as much daily as 2b tons OF steel in a
tank car. The big inch, because OF un-
precedented size, contained potential
construction CANDLES, but engineers in
this section say not one serious hitch
occurred.
Winter will be no barrier to the 857-
mile extension to Pennsylvania, author
lied last week. The big trench digging
machines cut through snow, ice and
frozen soil just as readily as summer
ground. The advantages are less caving
of the banks of the trenches, less water
to pump out of trenches in swamps. In
fact, Southern Illinois pipeline workers
said there are some parts Of Ohio in
which it would be almost impossible to
lay big pipe line in summer, while WIN
ter would be ideal.
When the big inch is completed, the oil
starting at Longview, Tex, will require
about 20 days to reach Pennsylvania,
1,408 miles distant The pipe will hold
3,100 barrels of oil in every mile Moving
at about 3 miles an hour, that will be
around feet q second, which is a lot OF
