Where They Are Fighting
(From the National GeoQraphtc Societul
onal Geographic Society,"

Salamaua, one Of the two places
on the northern coast of New Guinea
where Japanese soldiers have land
ed, was the gold port" OF New
Guinea.
Situated on a narrow peninsula,
the town rose rapidly in 1926, when
gold was discovered some 20 miles
inland. The settlement then was
merely cluster of tents and shacks
made Of palm leaves. On the inner
fringe was q struggling group OF
native huts against a background
Of coconut palms, which separated
the settlement from a malaria
breeding swamp.
Gold Flown Over Jungle.
At the same time Wau became a
boom town at the inland site of the
gold fields, 5000 feet above the sea-
An impenetrable jungle separated
the port and the gold diggings. Air
ports were built at both Salamaua
and Wau. Not only passengers, but
building materials, automobiles, cat
tie, dredging and electric machinery
(the latter piece by piece) were flown
over the jungle.
Several million dollars worth of
gold was brought out by air each
year from the Wau mines. Gold is
the principal export of the territory
of New Guinea, with coconut prod
ucts valued at less than one-third
the gold production.
The modern town of Salamaua Is
administrative headquarters for
Northeast New Guinea. Although

civilized tribesmen lie only a few
miles inland. peacetime Salamaua
had attractive homes, hospitals. no.
tells, stores and government build
ings, schools and churches, power
plant and wireless station.
Temporary Capital in 1888.
In 1898, when volcanic eruptions
made it necessary to abandon Ra-
baul, then the capital, on nearby
New Britain Island, Salamaua was
chosen by the Australian govern
ment as temporary capital Of the
inundated territory of New Guinea.
Later 1t gave way to Lac.
The coast line of Northeastern
New Guinea Is little broken and has
few good harbors. The Salamaua
Harbor, however, affords good an
chorage and shelter for the largest
vessels.
A road connecting the port with
the gold field has been under con-
sideration for years. Three years

Modern Glamour Girl Is New Flower Girl
$2OOO,OOO in Savings Stamp Sold in Corsages, Bou-
 tOnnieres; Special Kits Now Available

Stamps, which sale is credited to the community and is included in it's War Savings sales quota. The kit, which sells for $2.75, enables the organization or group sponsor ing the project, to either pay its workers or put the difference in the organization treasury or donate it to other war causes.
 In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the United Employment Service, a free agency, supported by the Commun- ity Fund of Pittsburgh, established 8 non-prof1t workship for clients unable to compete successfully in private industry jobs. During July the agency sold more than $32, 2,0OO worth of War Stamp Corsages; em- ploying 5l workers who were paid on the piece work basis. One earned as high as $6.69 for a seven-hour day; no one. was paid less than 20 cents an hour. (These agencies were exempt for the Wage and Hour laws).
 Other self-help organizations are combining employment for their clients, and, at the same time, in- creasing the saleof War Savings Stamps through this distinctly Am erican sales achievement.
 MT. Perlman estimates that the sale of War Stamp Corsages and Boutonnieres will amount to $10O,- COG, O,0OO.

It is one of the pecullarties Of a denioc- racy that tine people shall know where their money was spent, and how, and the job of setting up this nonstrous machinery was given Major Gen. H. K. Lougllry. Chief of Finance. Under Gen. Loughry is Col. John ". Clark. Chief of Ac- counting, and under him Col. Me- Cullough. head of Allotment and Disbursement.
 MECHANIZED
 BOOKKEEPING
 Bids were asked of the foremost business machine companies, esti- mates on costs were procured, and deep consultations on procedure were held. It was decided that first consideration should be given to speed, centralization and limitation of administrative personnel, on the theory that initial expense would be compensated for as the project leveled off.
 Finally the main machine con- tract was awarded to International Business Machines. IBM experts came in to work with Army, and the framework of the new stream lined process was created. Procedure changed as the system progressed and is still changing to meet fresh problems.
 But when all the bugs are shaken out, and all the eventualities an swered, Army expects to own a revolutionary system of grand-scale bookkeeping, something that will greatly influence procedure in the post war world. Either that, or the Finance Department will be ir somebody's coy padded cell, mak- ing faces at the moon.

The pathetic little flower girl of yesteryear who cried "Who will buy my flower" is being rapidly replac- cd by the modern glamor girl who sells the popular War Stamp Cor sage and attractive Boutonniere. In less than nine weeks 1t has been estimated that more than $2,0OO, 900 worth of War Savings Stamps were sold to American men, women and children through the colorful and patriotic War Stamp Corsage and Boutonniere.
 So great has been the demand and so limited the facilities for making the Corsages, due to war time limitations placed upon all manufacturing, Harry A. Perlman, national chairman, War Stamp Corsage committee, has announced that a specially designed kit has been made available to organiza- tions, clubs, community and church groups who want to make the Cor sageS for distribution and sale in their own community. At the present time the Corsages have been prin- cipally made by the manufacturers of artificial flowers who have made the $l Corsage which contains g ten cent War Savings Stamps, with out profit.
 The new kit, which comes boxed with ready-to-use materials will en- able the group to make 100 Cor sages; each group sponsoring the project buys the War Savings

It. Col. Thomas G. McCulloch, chief of the Allotment and Dis bursement Division, sums it nicely. Says Col. McCulloch, almost hys- terically: By Sept. 1, will be one of three things; will be the big gest disbursing agent in the world or I will be in St. Elizabeth's Hos pital for the Insane, or I will be in Leavenworth. And the chances are equally good in any direction"
 Military financing breaks down, broadly, into four categories.
 One is actual payment of men, in tactical units, posts, and large cities, which includes payment of civilian employees.
 Another is the administration of allotments, for dependents, insur- ance and war bonds. Included here is the ticklish task of paying de- pendents of men who have been lost, captured or killed in action. ENTIRELY MODERN
 SYSTEM INSTALLED
 A third is the immense job of auditing war contracts, whic h gobble huge hunk of the forty billion dollars.
 And a fourth is the provision of money for Services of Supply = all the accounting detail of board, keep, and transportation for soldiers in all parts of the world.
 Data on this dispensation job - vouchers, authorization, receipts - flow daily into a huge temporary building in Washington - in lots of from one to two tons. Uncle Sam's counting house is certainly the hugest central operation of its kind in the world.

 When a soldier goes into action, it is desirable that his belly be full, his clothes comfortable, and his brain unclouded by worry over the welfare of the folks he left behind That is why Army's Finance Office today has one of the broadest, toughest assignments of the war.
 "Get Elm Paid" is Finances slo- gan. Pay lem fast, and pay 'em right" is the divisions design for working. And, when Congress au- thorized the Seryicemen's Depend ents Allowance Act, providing for supplementary Government contri- buttons to families of fighting men, 1t kissed Army into the hugest dis bursement job ever attempted.
 On Sept. 1, $50, GOO. GOO in checks will go out to the wives and chill dren of soldiers, and in six months the amount will be doubled.
 THEY SPEND AND ACCOUNT
 FOR $4O,0OO, ,OOO,O ,O0O
 This war has introduced finance problems of a variety and magni- tude never before experienced by a nation. Far-flung battle fronts, fresh legislation, new fighting tac- tics a new kind of enemy, and new weapons, all have amazingly con- plicated the business of Army money disbursal. Something new and dis concerting pops up every day, call- ing for drastic procedure changes.
 The problem of auditing and ex- pediting the expenditure of 8 rough 10000, ,000, 900 this year is stagger- ing beyond belief. It is doubtful If the officers on Bataan were much more haggard toward the end than the men who run Army's finances. Theirs is a 24-hour job that rarely grows less complicated with time.
