Figure it on the basis of real economy. Good home-made soup means retail prices paid for materials. It means labor and time used in buying and preparing them, fuel consumed in cooking them. Yet after all this bother and expense you have nothing better—nothing more appetizing and wholesome than Campbell’s Vegetable Soup This gives you all the home-made quality without the trouble and fuss. We make the rich nourishing stock from selected beef. We include high-grade vegetables in well-balanced \ arlety potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, baby lima beans, small peas, green okra, Country Gentleman corn, Dutch cabbage and a purée of fine tomatoes. We add alphabet macaroni, barley and rice, with a touch of leek, onion and sweet red peppers. Also parsley, celery and appropriate seasoning. A highly nutritious and health-giving combination. Fuel costs money. Ev ery hour you ¢ ook home-made soup adds to your coal bill or gas bill. Campbell's J ‘egetable Soup comes to you already cooked. You can heat it ready to serve in three minutes. No labor. No uncertainty nor delay. And no home kitchen can pro duce a,soup more palatable and satisiying. Let your grocer bring you a dozen or more at a time, and save delivery cost, disappoint- ment and delay. 21 kinds Beet ( nB Bouillon { Ch Pol LOOKS FOR MTHES RED-AND WHinty LA I2c a can Mock Tut Pris lulligatawny oma Mutton | fto-Okra Ox “Tail . a

WRENCHSMITHS ATTLEBORO - MASSACHUSETTS | THE SATURDAY EVENING POST THE IRON CROSS His gloomy disappointment was relieved only by his betrothed’s mention of an early peace. He seized on that hopefully. Cer- tainly the fighting here had long since ceased Up to a week before, the tussian soldiers had been fraternizing between the though they had remained in their trenches, no shot had been fired. Pos- ibly a general peace was really in discus- sion; 191 a 1915, 1916, 1917 the whole world must be as — of this as he was. Gretel or no Gretel, it was something to come out of it alive! He cheerfully aban- doned the Iron Cross in the prospect At this point the course of his meditation was interrupted. The wail of an approach- ing shell startled the trenchful of idling men; sent them dashing to cover as its note changed to the hissing rush of its arrival. It burst with a metallic crash. Before their ears had lost the sound the wail of a ell rapidly descended from its distant high note to the ugly men- ace of its fall, the viciously violent detona- tion of its impact. A third—and a fourth! What was happening? The German sol- diers, habituated to the informal truce iines, since, entire second asked each other the question angrily, wild- eyed. In a telephone dugout an artillery officer spoke irritably to his battery: *X 20; C 2,4. These ng themselves. Give the people are forget- ma dozen rounds battery fire A moment or behind them two later a run of dull reports told of the answer of the guns. Almost simultaneously with the sound the shells rushed overhead, one after the other at the brie fest interval, vindic- tively hastening to silence this presump- tuous Russian battery. That battery, however, declined to be overawed Its shells continued to fall in the trench or its ear vicinity, arriving with a deliberate regularity which hinted at a definite pur- pose Other batteries, veiled in the deepening dusk of the east, awoke as if in sympathy, their quickly reiterated reports strangely silence which had been fell more impressive after the maintained so long. Their shells and more frequently over a fairly wide sector of the trenches. The German bat- tery having discharged its dozen rounds ceased fire. But the bombardment of the trenches continued, became more and more intense. It was as heavy a bombardment as the poorly supplied Russian artillery could ever pretend to In his dugout the battalion commander, annoyed and puzzled by this unexpected revival of an enemy he had grown accus- tomed almost to ignore, took counsel with the artillery officer “What are they playir 1g at?” he asked. ‘Surely they can't be going to attack!” ‘Probably they have found a few rounds of ammunition and are getting rid of it, Herr Major,” replied the artillery officer. ‘They can’t keep it up long, for they cer- tainly cannot have much. As for attack”’ he laughed contemptuously—‘‘the Rus- sian infantry will not attack again in this war "7 “Geu ‘Only between the But listening Russian re peated : nicht,”’ agreed the a week ago they were out trenches selling their rifles to our men still’’—-he stopped for a moment, to the persistent slamming of the guns, the heavy crashes of the major. shell bursts near at hand ‘this sounds as though they meant ymething.”’ ‘I will soon stop it,” the artillery officer, picking up the telephone. “ Hello! Give me artillery headquarter — Hello! ; Eh? Ye speaking. Yes; that is just what 1 was going to peak to you about. They’ve gone mad, I think . Oh, all right, I'll speak to the Oberst.”” His tone changed to one of subser- vient respect. ‘Ja, Herr Oberst, almost all their batteries firing No, I don’t t nk So They have lost their heads over et!

Let them have it all at once. Teach them politeness. They will not worry you again for a long time.” (Continued from Page 9 **Good,”’ said the battalion commander. “But I hope they are not going to attack. The sector is very thinly held.” The artillery officer laughed. “Their generals may order an attack, Herr Major, but their men simply refuse to fight. We've seen it often enough. Of course,”” he added in a tone of mockery, “‘there’s that battalion of women which has been parading Petrograd; perhaps they are going to try with that?”’ Both officers laughed at this reduction to absurdity. For a long time the chief danger from the Russian Army had been excessive fraternization. The German au- thorities were very nervous of the anarchic propaganda enthusiastically preached by the Russian soldiers, however contemptu- ous they might be of them in other re- spects. Every German officer on the sector had been glad of the recent cessation of intercourse. The fighting power of the Russian Army was notoriously a thing of the past. This fantastic bombardment was merely another symptom of the madness to which it had succumbed. The two officers listened for the opening of their own artillery. In a dugout of the trench parapet Salz- mann interrogated his companions be- tween the crashes of the Russian shells. What is it?”’ he cried. ‘‘ Are they going to attack? I thought they had no more shells? The Leutnant said so the other day! Ach! T here’s another! Where did that one go? That’s in the trench, that one! Doy ou think they are going to attack, Weissenbach?’ “*Natiirlich!”” said Weissenbach, grin- ning at his companions despite the uneasi- which they all felt. “‘Haven’t you heard about it? This is the preliminary bombardment for a great offensive. The Russians are going to bombard us for a week like this and then they are going to march through to Berlin and set up a re- public like their own. The muzhiks were all talking about it last week; nicht wakhr you others?” There was a chorus of laughing assent. “Ach!” cried Salzmann in genuine alarm. ‘‘They can do what they like about their republic; it’s all one to me. But bombard us like this fora week! Aber, Weis- senbach,”” he said with serious solemnity, “‘we shall all be killed!’ The others forgot the bombardment in the ir laughter. Salzmann was priceless. “More than that,” cried Griinbaum; “the Hauptmann said he was going to see to it that this time Salzmann won the Iron Cross—or was killed in the attempt. He says it’s a disgrace to the regiment that a man who has been in it since 1914 has not won the cross. So you are certainly going to get the Iron Cross, Salzmann; or else a wooden one!” The squad ness shouted with delight, all eagerly corroborating this happy inven- tion, adding confirmatory details. ‘To the devil with the Iron Cross!” cried their butt, frantic with fear at the possibilities which opened up before him. He broke into a flood of foul curses, in which the Hauptmann, his comrades, their decorations, were all equally vituperated. His tormentors wiped tears of laughter from their eyes. Suddenly they ceased in their mirth, iooked up, startled. **Listen!”’ cried someone. In one long rolling crash hundreds of guns had opened fire, were maintaining it n rapid repetition. Overhead, flights of ls howled on their way to the Russians. ‘Our guns!” cried another in relief. ‘The muzhiks will remember they have an appointment to make a speech at their Soviet soon “Gewiss!” said can’t have much more So long as they cease shelling!” cried Salzmann, who had retreated to the far- thest corner of the dugout. But though the thunder of the German guns continued unabated, the stream of their projectiles tearing across the sky un- diminished, the Russian batteries still per- sisted in their fire. The crashes of their shells followed one another with unfailing regularity. The din of these warring artilleries had lasted for some time when suddenly whistles shrilled in the trench above. The group in the dugout looked at each other in surprise. It was the alarm! a third. Jesides, they ammunition.” May 18,1918 ““An attack!” cried someone. ‘“ After all! Heraus, Salzmann! Go out for your Iron Cross!” The speaker saw to it that the unhappy Salzmann cleared out with the rest, and amid renewed laughter the squad scram- bled up the stairway into the trench. It was now quite dark, a night of stars The Russian shells were still bursting round in sudden splashes of red flame, despite a most furious cannonade from the German artillery working frenziedly to beat down the hostile fire. To the east the dark hori- zon was lit by the frequent leaping reflec- tions from the Russian guns. But on the sky behind the men now lining the trench there was no interval in the illumination from the ceaseless discharges. Both artil- leries were working at their full power and the disproportion between their strengths was comfortingly obvious to the German soldiers. They sprang with alacrity to their posi- tions of defense. The machine-gun crews joked as they opened their boxes of ammu- nition and fitted the belts. Grenades were served out lavishly. There was a clicking of rifle bolts. Flares began to soar up along the line of trenches. A searchlight wavered for a moment, flickered, was ex- ——— ied, shot out its beam of light again a Swinging are, dis: P peared. The deafen- ing crash and roll of the artillery fire seemed to increase permanently as it leaped t paroxysms of vehemence. Salzmann found himself on the fire step, rifle ready to his hand, gazing out across the neutral ground. Over the Russian trenches the shrapnel twinkled incessantly. Founts of bright tlame sprang up from the impact of high-explosive shells upon the enemy works, the crash of their detonation distinctly audible through the din. Half paralyzed by the fear of the shrapnel which cracked and moaned above his head also, he stared into the night, agonizing for his first perception of the dim human flood whic h would presently surge against him. He remembered sic keningly the terrible bayonets of a Russian charge. Several times already, in his experience he had escaped them only by a miracle, had heard the death shrieks of his less fortunate com- rades. He fingered his trigger nervously, ready to fire at the first sign of the enemy, straining his sight into the radiance of the falling flares. “Sie kommen! shouted someone a little farther along the trench. He heard the curt commands of the officers behind him, the final order. In one simultaneous crash a long coruscation of short stabbing flames leaped from the parapet, a crash that resolved itself into the tireless hammer- ing of machine guns, the irregular reports of rifles; now swelling as they chanced to coalesce, now scattered individually in rapid independent fire. Salzmann pulled trigger with the others, though at first he could discern no target. A whelm of shell smoke overlay the neu- tral ground, thickened the obscurity of the alahk. swallowed the flares as they fell Into that smother plunged an unceasing rain of German shells that lit luridly for a brief instant ere they added to the rolling fumes. The Russian batteries hurled shell after shell behind him, apparently length- ening their range. From that bank of smoke came at last a tumult of voices, shouts and cheers that overpowered, the shriek of sudden agony. Curiously hizh pitched, these voices “They must be thought Salz- mann as he fired toward the sound. The shouts and cheers continued, swelled louder despite the chaos of brutally violent noise, thudding, crashing, hammering, every kind of explosion, which erupted on that dark boys,’ countryside and rolled under the stars. hese voices of human creatures, dwarfed but undaunted in this immense fury of pitiless destruction, persisted, not to be hushed, curiously impressive. Suddenly they emerged from the smoke, shadowy but startlingly close; a crowd of running figures whose faces were plucked into a momentary vividness by near flashes, their bayonets silhouetted above their heads, dark against the sky. They raced toward him with such fierce deter- mination that those who fell were lost out of memory in an instant, their places filled Their piercing cries, their high- pitched cheers had an uncanny suggestion of the (Continued on Page 45)

46 EAT WELL-EAT PATE THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Food will win the War. But winning the War with food does not mean that the Nation must go hungry. You can save wheat and fats—and yet eat well. Eat the delicious Canned Fruits and Vegetables of California and have appetizing, economical, nutri- tious meals. In place of pastry desserts, substitute Det Monte peaches or sliced Hawaiian pineapple. Det Monte pears, apricots, berries, plums, cherries and ready-cooked prunes, offer a wide choice for planning other Det Monte fruit desserts. Det Monte fruits are ready to serve just as they come from the can. They save fuel, which is not only conservation for the Nation, but good economy for the home ; and they Save a gre it de al of bother and me ation in the kitchen, which is a re al item in these busy days of Red Cross work and other War activities. In addition to Det Monte desserts, there is a great variety of tasty fruit and vegetable salads and relishes of dietary value which patri- otic housewives will find it easy and economical to prepare from the nutritious Det Monte Products. The family that uses Det Monte, eats well and eats patriotically. Remember the Red Det Monte Shield on the green can. It is “not merely a label but a guarantee” of quality.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST A Memorial Masterpiece HE Milne Mausoleum in Elmwood Cemetery, Barre, Vermont, is one of the most graceful and substantial memorials ever produced in Barre Granite. It is designed after the Tuscan order, in the form of a Grecian Temple, and is constructed entirely of dark Barre Granite. The huge roof, measuring over thirteen feet square by three feet high, was a single stone and weighed over sixty tons in the rough. A most unusual feature of the roof is the mortise and tenon jointing, which was so arranged that when the roof stone was placed in position it automatically interlocked the entire building, rendering it both weather and time proof. BARRE GRANITE is adaptable to any treatment—it can be polished to a rich lustre, or given the rougher, hammered finish which you may prefer—or again, it can be paneled and cut in artistic designs. No other material is so enduring and beautiful for monumental work as this stone quarried from the rugged hills of Vermont. Specify Barre Granite for every part of your memorial, whether it be large or small, modest or pretentious. You can find no stone more eminently suitable.

If there are four or five horses in the same stable look them all over and price them before you pay the slightest attention to the one you are really after. You can cheapen him with- out saying a word, because no matter how wise the other fellow is he realizes that he does not know it all, and is just as liable to be mystified by your manner as anyone else If the horse happens to have any weak spot focus your eye on that. You know how the dotted line is drawn from Mutt to Jeff; just keep on looking until the man who owns him says apologetically “Yes, sir; that little splint don’t belong to him a-tall, a-tall; it’s on the bone and ain’t close to no joint.” And then you in your turn nod your head solemnly and say something like this “Yes, brother, I see, but I thought it was just a leetle mite round and layin’ on the tendon; it kinda has that kind of a loo And about that time he will say prob- ably, ‘‘Could you use this horse if I was to price him to you right?” And then you say: ‘Well, I might find a place for him if the price was right; but of course I'd have to get that blemish off of him before I showed him to anybody.” Some Horse! And usually the rest is easy, because I don’t care who the man is if his horse has the slightest mark or blemish you can start him thinking.

THE SATURDAY A’ gift should need no introduction. It should carry a name that in itself expresses the genuine worth, not only of the spirit that prompted the gift, but of the article itself. A bracelet watch is an ideal gift. And important than the beautiful accurate watch is the fine, perfectly finished, expan- sion bracelet that is as delicately made as the watch, scarcely less yet strong enough for the hardest usage. Nearly all American watch manufacturers, as well as importers of Swiss watches, attach to their women’s bracelet watches the detachable link Sturdy Bracelets Gruen Waltham You w nd Seurdy Bracelets n Waltham Watches Gruen Watches are fitted with Sturdy Bracelets Elgin The manufacturers of Elgin Watches use Sturdy Bracelets Hamilton of the Hamilton experts was Srurdy Bracelers.”” Is the judgment of these experts good enough for you ?

However, they took me in; and there were lights and laughter and gayety, and a feverish kind of rush that could not fail to lift one’s spirits. There was not a man in sight in civilian clothes. There were army and naval offi- cers in companies and crowds, and men of the various services of war; while the women, I was to discover, were mostly “*Mesopot widows” and permanent guests. The Mesopot widows are the wives of men serving in Mesopotamia. From England and from different parts of India they fol- lowed their husbands as far as Bombay, and that is as far as they have been able to get. And they had better be in Bombay than otherwhere perhaps. Wives of men serv- ing in far-away zones who have remained in England must bear a separation of years, but these women get to see their husbands once in a while, Bombay being the only place where officers serving in Mesopo- tamia can spend the occasional leave that is due them. They usually get three weeks. It takes two weeks or more to make the trip down and back, and they have five or six days in Bombay; which is better than nothing. The British did not take Bombay away from its original owners, whoever they may have been. The Portuguese did that a whole century before the little island colony came to the crown of Britain, and it came to the crown of Britain as part of the dowry of Catharine of Braganza when she married Charles the Second. That isthe picturesque small item of history which gives Bombay a unique place in the British Empire. Just a little group of islands lying close in against the mainland of India, they were trans- ferred to England in 1661. Just a little group of islands lying close in against the mainland of India, they were separated by shallow channels which have since been filled in or spanned by gigantic causeways, so that now the Island of Bom- bay, twenty-two and a half square miles in area, looks as though God and not enter- prising Englishmen had made it. Portugal's Mistake Why the Portuguese should have so greatly underestimated the value of the place would be difficult to figure out. Those things interest me, and I want to drag the ancient mistaken ones back and say to them: ‘‘ Well, here now, don’t you see?”’ thus and so. But the Portuguese seem always to have been bad judges of ports. In the nineteenth century they clung jealously to the shallow and useless harbor of Macao, on the Pacific coast of Asia, while they permitted England to acquire the inestimably valuable near-by Island along with the wide and deep waterways surrounding it. And inthe seventeenth century they preferred the unimportant port of Goa, south of Bombay on the mainland coast—which they still possess—to the advantages of the finest harbor in the East, which the British in- stantly recognized. At least the British traders did. In those days the British traders sailing the seas in their picture ships of untold and untellable romance were out for themselves. They were neither altruistic nor imperialistic. They thought little of benefiting the natives of the rich Eastern lands into which they thrust themselves, and they thought as little of aggr randizement for the throne of their sovereign. It was an age of adventure and gain, and adventure and gain were the twin fascinations the old traders pursued. King Charles the Second on his throne, waging his unintelligent battle for divine right against the then well-developed spirit of democracy among his Anglo-Saxon people—what could he know about the values of the great outer world then breath- ing its first breath of unbelievable life? Seven years after the islands of Bombay came to him in the dowry of Catharine of Braganza he transferred them to the East India Company for an annual rental of ten pounds. And not so very long before that the indians sold the Island of Man- hattan for something plus a string of beads. The Towers of Silence Bombay now has nearly one million in- habitants. At the beginning of the nine- teenth century it already had two hundred thousand, and early in the twentieth cen- tury the census takers counted 959,537 souls. Nearly seven hundred thousand of these are Hindus and one hundred and fifty thousand are Mohammedans, while less than sixteen thousand are Christians, count- ing both pure European and mixed blood There are about sixty thousand Parsis, and the Parsis are the most interesting and important element in the community. It is to British initiative and example and to Pars si appreciation, intelligence and gener- osity that Bombay owes the fact of her present existence as one of the most beau- tiful cities in the world. Yet the Parsis still maintain the un- inkable Towers of Silence in the heart and center of Bombay’s most fashionable residential district; the Towers of Silence where the Parsi dead are disposed of by the forever-hovering horrible flocks of kites, vhich on occasion grow gorged and care- less, and drop human flesh and little bones flowering fragrant gardens of the great on Malabar Hill. But what would you? The Towers of Silence are unthink- able only to the Christian mind. To the mind of the Parsi all other methods of dis- posing of the dead are unthinkable. The Parsis are sometimes carelessly re ferred to as Persian Jews or are grouped th in the (Continued on Page 61) Not Wishing to Go to Mesopotamia, Thank You!

a new temporary rain that went over the track sank any- where from a foot to a yard. There was a mild panic, and it was thought it woul impossible to use the area without : amount of preliminary work on it that wa quite out of the question But somebody had an inspiration. An army of coolies was mobilized and sent to wooded islands and hills across the bay to bring in small mountains of willow cuttings and brushwood. The track was lifted and a bed of these was made for it. Under the next train over it sank some more, and the process was repeated. Once, and again and

again; the brushwood being eventually reénforced with crushed rock And so the track and other tracks like , after the first day, kept on running at regular intervals were made, while the train The builders like to show that little impor- tant railroad and to tell this story as an lustration of how Bombay had to work ir the beginning In India’s terr population of three hundred and twenty million pilus, there ly about one hundred and twenty sand Britishers, all told, and of these more than three-fifths vere before the war on

This is an exaggeration, of course, but that was the way it seemed to the city’s sudden] } assed inhabitants; and it means that Bom- bay found itself almos by an unprecedented crowd of army of-

own internal pangs of pushed and hurried pride; but I think that all intelligent In- dians and Englishmen everywhere in India are satisfied with the general fact that India is doing her part. The Presidency of Bombay, with its twenty million inhabitants, is especially furtunate just now in its possession of the wife of its governor. The governor of Bom- bay is the Right Honorable Baron Will- ingdon of Ratton, G.C.I1.E.; and Lady Willingdon, the daughter of a long line of British business men—though with ex- traordinary social qualities—is a busi- ness woman such as is seldom met even in the ranks of highly intelligent and finely trained commoners. Through the port of Bombay the armies in Mesopotamia and East Africa had to be provided with food, equipment, muni- tions and all the paraphernalia of war, to say nothing of reénforcements mobilized in India or coming from various directions for transshipment at Bombay. But the first thing the city had to face was the neces- sity for making provision for the wounded and for meeting demands for different kinds of relief. They were fairly well off in peacetime hospitals—thanks to the gen- erosity of public-spirited men—but a few hundred casualties would have taxed their capacity; and before the war organizers hz ad time to finish their preliminary powwows they began to get frantic appe als for he > from Mesopotamia, from Egypt, from Gal- lipoli and even from Europe. I cannot imagine how they did it, but they now have five or six of the finest military hospitals in the world, with a ‘apacity of something like ten thousand beds. In addition to which, when Alex- andria and Cairo were being swamped by the fearful backwash from Gallipoli, they were able to organize and transport a full hospital unit with complete equipment to Egypt. The two finest hospitals, perhaps, are the Lady Hardinge, named for the wife of the Viceroy who was in office when the war be- gan; and the “Gerard Freeman-Thomas,”’ named for the lost son of Lord and Lady Willingdon. These are both housed in build- ings that were in process of construction when the urgent need for them presented itself, and neither of them is yet entirely finished. The Lady Hardinge Hospital is in a great new provincial museum, and it not possible to imagine anything finer than the wards that have been established n the long light airy spaces designed for the most advantageous display of ancient treasures The Mauve Hospital One should not permit oneself any light- minded thoughts about such an institution, perhaps, but it is a hospital for Indians only and it is decorated from its marble floor to its domed and artistically side- lighted ceiling in delicate mauve. Even the blankets on the long perfect rows of white beds are mauve; and the counter- panes have mauve borders. As a matter of fact the phonographs in the different wards are mauve, and a certain appreciative citi- zen has agreed to keep all the vases filled with mauve flowers, or at least with flowers that blend with mauve. Some persons smile at this—not I, of course!—and feel rather sorry for the poor sick and wounded Indian soldiers who sit up in their per- fectly kept beds and try so pathetically to look pleased; but mauve is Lady Willing- don’s favorite color, and so great is her popularity in Bombay that if she expressed a desire to have the lamp-posts painted mauve the people would furnish the paint. I asked one of the nu‘ses in this truly magnificent hospital if the Indians liked being so decorative and immaculate; if they would not be spoiled for their ordinary way of life and want always to sleep be- tween spotless sheets and have a plentiful supply of fresh air; and she said: “Good heavens, no! They hate it! They are so anxious to get out of here and back into their nice airless dens and com- fortable dirt that they can hardly wait to get well. If you ask me, I think our hy gienic methods and extreme cleanlines serve only to retard the progress of some of them. They don’t mind the decorations, though. Indians like pretty colors.” I think I have visited all the hospitals in Bombay—and one begins to feel after a time that it is a city of nothing but hospi- tals—but these two and the house of the Gaekwar of Baroda have made the most vivid impression upon me. The Gaekwar THE SATURDAY has a fine house in Bombay, to which he occasionally comes for the races or a ~~ social season or something of that kind, and at the beginning of the war he donated it for use as a hospital for British officers. They call it ‘The Gilded Cage.” It is a wonderful place. Situated away out on the picturesque rocky shore of the bay it is | bounded on one side by rolling white- crested surf and on the other by fairy gar- dens. The Gaekwar has always complained that the architect made no provision in this house for visitors and that he could never decently entertain more than one or two; but it rather proves his dglight in drawing-rooms, wide enclosed verandas, spacious corridors and other more or less waste spaces that without a single change in the interior of the building except as | regards additional bathrooms and an op- | erating theater ample accommodation was | found for one hundred beds, to say nothing of recreation rooms, music rooms, reading rooms and plentiful offices. He thinks he will live in it just as it is when the army gets through with it. Native Contribution All the artistic effects in the results of war work are due to the Women’s Branch. One hears more about the Women’s Branch in Bombay than about any other one thing, and I am not sure that it is not quite the most efficient women’s war organization I have ever encountered. There is a Bom- bay Presidency War and Relief Fund, which undertakes anything from establish- ing hospitals to boosting great popular loans, and the Women’s Branch is—the Women’s Branch. It was organized by Lady Willingdon, and, as I have said, Lady Willingdon is a business woman. She was | not content to confine herself to the city of Bombay; she went all over the great presidency and organized the whole popu- lation of women, and she instituted a sys- tem of not too friendly rivalries between communities, which has resulted in a per- fect deluge of successful output. She began by standardizing everything—just like an army quartermaster; and in consequence there has been practically no waste effort This women’s organization not only equips and maintains in equipment all the war hos- pitals in the presidency--and there are a good many outside the city of Bombay but it undertakes as well to supply every demand that can be made by the armies in the field. And it has actually made good with a minimum of friction and delay; most of which is due not to unusual devotion but to the fact that everything is done on a business basis. Another thing that has been undertaken with great earnestness and with promise of justifying success is the training of disabled Indian soldiers in profitable trades. The | pension of the disabled soldier is as much as the average Indian can earn in any industrial capacity —if not more—so he is fairly well off to begin with. But it is the idleness of the incapacitated man that is to | be dreaded more than the possibility of his ever being in actual need. So the Queen Mary’s Technical School for Indian Soldiers was established and now has in it a very interesting company of Indians — blind, armless, legless, and maimed in every imag- inable way—who are learning to do things that will keep them employed if they wish, and add considerably to their resources. Some are learning to operate looms of one kind or another; some make artificial flowers; some raise chickens and are now with great pride supplying the institution with fresh eggs; some who have both arms but are legless are going in fot work on eléc- trical apparatus; and a large number are learning to use hose-knitting machines. The curious part of it all is that the money for these war relief organizations has come for the most part from the Parsis, from the Jews, from the extraordinary Jains, from Hindus of high caste and low, from Mohammedans, from Indian princes, and from people in general that one would nat- urally suppose were wholly detached from the demands of the war. The situation in India is an unmistakable indication that the best Indians are imbued with pride in the Empire and that for the Empire and continued pride no sacrifice can be too great. It is well to remember too that these Indians know nothing else even in tradition and history. It would be as reasonable to refer to Americans in New York as usurpers and aliens as to refer to British rule in Bombay as alien rule.

Sw THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Cutting the Cost of Selling **There ts a third stlent party to all our bargains. The Nature and soul If th NTS lakes on itself the guaranty of the fulfilment of every contract, so that honest service cannot come to loss.’ 5 3 ~ mIN the manufacture | and sale of any article offered the public, certain non- productive costs are involved which in a measure are unavoidable. An appreciable portion of such costs is incurred in the process of distribution, in getting the article to the public after its completion. Admittedly these costs add nothing to the intrinsic worth of the product, and must seek justification on the ground of necessity. It is evident therefore that other things being equal, the article bearing the lowest proportion of such costs must represent the largest value. t + + One of the chief sources of the additional value offered in Goodyear Tires is the savings effected through Goody ear’s system of distribution. Having for its aim the highest convenience and service to the public, this system nevertheless accomplishes economies un- usual and great. It is a system made _ possible largely through the enormous popularity of Goodyear Tires, | and the steadily prowling de- mand for them throughout the world. The savings it returns over or- dinary systems of distribution are applied to the constant re- inforcement of that value on which such popularity rests. Tothe 20,000 Good year Service Station Dealers Good y ear dis- tributes tires direct, and the usual intermediary profits to jobber, broker or distributor in this way are saved. Not one of these dealers gets a special price favor, ora discount for quantity, exclusive agency, or any other such factor. There is no free list on Good- year Tires, even for purposes of demonstration or display; and even stockholders of the Company are denied special privilege. The actual result of this plan and its accompanying factors has been a reduction of 50% in Goodyear’s cost of selling in the last two and a half years. In money this reduction repre- sents millions of dollars, turned back into the product to heighten quality and keep prices down. Supplementing this total are large indirect economies, again UI UHI HUAI | merson due to Good y ear Tires’ popu- larity and the volume of sales. Shipments to branch distribut- ing points are sO large they are mostly by carload, and the item of transportation is thereby kept low. The volume handled by indi- vidual dealers makes the trans- action unit unusual; clerical and administrative charges against each tire are uncommonly small. * * + The demand for Goodyear Tires is so widespread and sta- ble that their sales curve re- mains fairly level throughout the year. This also affects costs usually non-productive, by insuring a very even and consequently economical production in the factory. Because of these and like facts surrounding the manufacture and saleof Goodyear Tires, these tires represent the very maxt- mum of intrinsic value. Because this value 1s inherent in the product, Goodyear lires deliver a measure of service un rivaled in the world. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Akron, Obi

But both mind-arrest and eye-appeal must be there. A poor and discordant body-structure of paper is just as baf- fling to your vivid booklet-idea as is an anemic body to a vigorous brain. Making paper that is suited to be the body structure of direct advertising is a specialty. Did you know that? Did you know that it is our specialty? The very first American coated paper was made in our mills, and the first dull- coated stock. Those mills, formerly the leading producers of paper for magazines, have been made over—millions of dollars of magazine contracts passed by, in order that we might specialize on the papers that will best serve the particular needs of the Advertising Managers of America. The twelve Warren’s Standard Papers cover every one of your printing needs. They include CAMEO, which has be- come a synonym for beauty in printing; LUSTRO, the perfect coated stock; PRINTONE, “better than Super, cheaper than coated”; OLDE STYLE, a bulky paper that adds a gracious dignity to type; and other specialties, plain and coated, that faithfully and unfailingly take the impress of, and express, the spirit of your work. To know them, send for the Warren Sug’ gestion Book. It is a paper specimen book. It is a demonstration of what paper can accomplish when it is the body structure of an advertising message. Each paper is described; its uses explained; its differ- ences from other papers set forth. Almost every method of making a picture and almost every method of reproducing one are shown. We have tried to make it the answer to the Advertising Managers’ reiterated question: “What should the body-structure of this booklet be?” Sent only to buyers of printing; to printers, engravers and their salesmen.

Largest Manufacturers in Ameiica of Men’s Fine Shoes Exclusively case, as in most others, three members con- stituted a quorum—the Kaiser, Von Hin- denburg and Ludendorff. They had reached a decision and were about to send instruc- tions to Berlin to Count Hertling when the young ruler of the Dual Monarchy an- nounced that he wished to visit the Kaiser Emperor Charles came to Germany with his staff and consulted with the three di- rectors. He protested against Germany’s methods and demanded that the German Government make some concessions sO that it might be possible for peace to be concluded Within a few days the Emperor was in Vienna. Until this time everyone had ex- pected Count Czernin to make a reply at the same time Count Hertling spoke, but Czernin was strangely silent. It was an- nounced in Vienna that the Minister of Foreign Affairs would not reply until Presi dent Wilson had answered Count Hertling The result of the visit of Emperor Charles was this: Count Hertling accepted the four fundamental terms of peace suggested by President Wilson to satisfy Austria and camouflage the real work of the board in Russia and Flanders. And Count Czernir was kept in Bukharest so he would not have an opportunity to interfere with the pl ins of the board Being an appointee of the five director of Germany and being responsible only t« these men, Count Hertling, every time he peaks, acts only as the spokesman of the board of directors of militarisn He does not voice the sentiments of the Reichstag or the peopl He cannot state his own opinion The only freedom the Imperial the Chancellor has in a publie address is choice of words. All ideas and proposals are prepared beforehand by the directors. The Chancellor is the orator for this ‘‘Germar Government At each crisis within Germany and Austria-Hungary the opinion of the board prevails. As for Bulgaria and Turkey Field Marshal von Mackensen has these countries and the occupied territory of the Balkans so well under his control that what ever the board demands, a result of his recommendation, Von Mackensen exe- cutes. Thus these five men control the policies of Germany and all her allies. In their hands rests the fate of Central Europe and all the conquered territory of France, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Rumania and Russia. The Salted Snail In recent articles for THE SATURDAY EVENING Post I have emphasized the oppo sition within Germany to the work of this board. To-day, as a result of the complete collapse of Russia, the pendulum has swung from one extreme to another. Since the recent strikes, or street parliaments, the directors have been centering their diplo- macy upon the internal political situation of Germany. Every democratic tendency has been put down with a spiked heel. In the face of military victories in the east, ending in a separate peace with individual Russian states, the democratic forces within Germany shrank as snails do when salt touches them “If there a liberal movement in Ger- many, or even a struggle toward democ- racy, wi y don’t those people do something to free themseives?”’ Americans and for eigners alike, impatient with the progress f the war within Germany, ask this ques tion and then are irritated because no atisfactory answer can be given-— by the Germans In reply I would ask this question ‘*Have these critics ever seen a snail try to survive when someone is dropping salt on its back? If not, go to Indiana and drop alt on the barks of some of the snails they in that state, and watch the result.” have 1 This illustration is not fascinating, but t pertect in t! c The struggle for democrat withir many has been progressing at sr ail pace because the om nipotent five have ilw s been o hand to irop salt in the form of military victories and booty upon the back of these liberal forces every time they begin to make Take the great crisis that existed in Germany during January and February of this year. Before peace was signed with the so-called “representatives’’ of the Ukraine, Rumania, the Baltic Provinces and the anarchists of Petrograd the people of Germany were almost in arms over the arrogance and power of the directors. Nearly six hundred thousand workers went May 18,1918 on a strike in favor of a democratic peace. Germany was on the verge of a revolution It appeared as if the Military Party had failed in Russia because it was too auto- cratic The five dictators saw the storm ap- proaching. They realized that even if the strikers were forced back into the factories the board would have to make good against Russia or fall. And, as in previous crises, the leaders made good. They forced the eastern nations to capitulate. Then they promised the German people food and issued statements to show that peace with Russia would nullify the Allied blockade and give Germany the war materials and supplies needed for a successful prosecu- tion of the war in the west On March seventh the Wolff Telegrap! Bureau sent the following notice to the press ‘The total amount of booty taken by the Central Powers since December 1, 1917, follows Prisoners, 120,433; guns, 3635; machine guns, 7103; trench weapons, 86; rifies, 128,000; many thousand ordinary wagons: several million rounds of artillery ammunition; numberless tanks; armored hospital ships, 47; aéroplanes, 22; locomo- tives 800; freight cars, many of them filled with supplies, 8000.” : The Jewelry of Militarism In explanation the semiofficial new agency said ‘These tremendous numbers are more important when one realizes that 3633 guns is by far more than all the Ger man armies possessed at the beginning the war, while the 7103 machine gun four times more than there were in Ger any in 1914 When one includes the thousands of cannon and machine gur captured in Italy during the offensive one can measure the enormous increase in the military strength of the Central Power during their recent victories.”’ When the Russian seaport of Reval iken the Frankfurter Zeitung published the following telegram from Berlin ‘In regard to the booty captured in Reval, as far as this relates to naval sup- plies, we learn that eight old submarines, three freight ships, a large number of small boats, ice breakers, sailing boats, schoor ers, submarine-defense nets and muct more naval war material fell into our hands “What became of the Russian fleet which was formerly in Reval is unknow: All we know is that the cruiser Murik, while en route in the Baltic toward Helsing fors, was frozen in the ice. It is probable that the rest of the cruiser fleet is frozen omewhere in the Baltic Sea.” These two statements indicate to a cer- tain extent the amount of war and naval materials that Germany seized in Russia They are the more important when one realizes that by the fifteenth of March the looting had not been organized on a large seale On the eighth of March this official an- nouncement was made to the hungry Vien- nese: “The Government of the Ukraine has promised to deliver to the Central Powers by April fifteenth 30,000 carloads of grain, 12,000 carloads of sugar, 2000 carloads of frozen meat and 1000 carloads of preserved fruits.” This is the kind of booty the German war lords dangled before the eyes of the war-wearied people. Booty, being the jew- elry of militarism, has impressed the public ever since the beginning of the war I shall cite another example of the prop- aganda which the board uses to influence the people. I find in the Berliner Tage- blatt, for instance, the following article: Wuat Russia Lost! The states of Kieff, Volhy: Podolia, Kherson, Pultowa, Tchernigoff, Yekater noslaff and Kharkoff, which in 1913 ecov- ered 460,000 square kilometers with thirty million inhabitants; the states of Cholm Grodno and Minsk; the kingdom of Po land with 130,000 square kilometers and thirteen million inhabitants; the govern- ments of Kovno and Vilna with four mil lion inhabitants; and Finland with more than three million people Altogether Russia lost territory twice as large as the present German Empire, in habited by more than fifty million people This campaign to impress the German people is being waged constantly and in Concluded on Page 85)

Conciuded from Page 8&2 every newspaper. The board knows how to advertise its successes. Is it surprising that under these circumstances the German Lib- eral Party makes such slow progress? In view of the victories that the omnipotent five have had in Italy and Russia they are like gamblers who have won four-fifths of the booty of war and want the other fift} The German Government does not want peace. It clamors for more war It is not mere lust of war and greed for victories that cause the German Goverr ment to continue the war, but the fact that the big five fear the after-the-war effects of the great moral cause that holds the Allies together. T rreat unconquered enemy of Germany is the world-wide demand fora democrat peace and a league of free na- tions Democracy threatens not only the position of the directors within the Central Pr he Balkans and Russia but it threatens the after-the-war commerce and d r f tl nilitary board.

It was obvious that rerman War Party was caused by the lack of unity among Euro pean Allies. Militarily each nation worked for itself and helped the others only when it mph of the ( was absolutely necessary. Then the Italian Front crumbled, Russia went to pieces ar d the advance that the British made against Cambrai was rolled back. Finally, when the American mission ar- rived in Paris and the Allied military lead- ers were brought together, it was realized that unless there were complete unity and harmon) future military movements in France aly, Germany would come very near to winning the war. So at this time the n ry, naval and commercial plans of all Allies were united. At this con- ference, however, the questions of peace, diplomacy and politics were left unsolved. r The Hardest Blow of 1917 TI Par conference was the hardest blow struck by the Allies during 1917.

To-day the Gern Government, this sinister board of directors of this powerfully organized military trust, is working through Count Hertling pub and others pri- vately, to cause dissension in England, France, Italy or Belgium, with the hope that peace may be made with one or more of these nations after this offensive. Through thousands of underground chan- nels in Europe and the United States Germany is lat ng to prevent Allied political unity. The Imperial Chancellor has already appealed publicly to British and Belgian leaders Others have been trying to intimidate France and Italy. The enemy apparently realizes or believes that the best way to make America’s moral in- fluence powerless in Europe is to prevent the Allies and the United States from join- ing together on peace terms. The power of the German War Party, its triumph in Germany and throughout a } THE SATURDAY great part of Europe, cannot be questioned and will either become supreme throughout the world or will begin to collapse when the next crisis comes, probably this fall. Mili- tary unity alone is not sufficient to prevent a German victory. Political unity is im- perative. Germany is still continuing her policy of trying to eliminate her enemies one at atime. She 1 ; yntente nations to talk peace terms. She is intriguing in neutral European countries with the object of enticing some belliger ent into confidential peace discussions In reality Germany is looking for a traitor, and the higge r the traitor the bigge r the price she will pay. Naturally the United States and the tea h iY ying to get individual € e nota thought, and are not least concerned over Germanv’'s bid f treason.

From these statements it complete ut We that the United States and the Allies ar not united in regard to peace what er courages the board of director This is the Allied weakness. This is the vulnerable point. This is the hole in the line of defense through which the German Government expects to force its way and dictate peace terms to the western world Though it is always more difficult fo free people to hold together than for two hundred million “‘ vassals’’ to be controlled by five men, still it is essential to a final victory against the German Government These five men can make peace for most of Europe, Turkey and the Balkans because they have already created a league of Continental vassal nations. The enemy does not want to annex these countries. That is the old method. Ger many has a newer one. She desires each na tion to look after its own business, under orders from the German board of diree The end is of course the same, thoug the method is different.

It’s part of the game. I'll make another match with this fellow 13 Henry shook his head ““No,” he mumbled; ‘‘no more matches. I’m through. I been knocked out; licked first, and then knocked out. I can’t beat that guy. This is my finish—good-by, ole Iron Man!” “Don’t talk like that,” begged Tony. “You didn’t train much, but the next time x8 Once more the broken gladiator shook his head. “There won't be ne next time. You don’t understand, Tony. I been stopped, put out. They won’t call me the Iron Man no more. It’s me for the junk shop, like he | said before the fight.”’ “‘He said it after the fight, too, Henry. It was when I got you back to the corner. He came over to shake hands, but you you didn’t know it. And he stood there and laughed. ‘There’s your brother!’ he says loud, so the newspaper men could hear. ‘Put him in a sack and lug him back to the junk shop. Scrap iron is worth a few cents a pound, anyway!’ That’s what he said, Henry. You ain’t going to let him get away with stuff like that, are you?” “How can I stop him?” wailed Henry. “He told the’truth, at that. I feel ; up in little pieces. Scrap iron, that’s what I am now—scrap iron!”’ Vv pn few modern gladiators retire to private life without first receiving the silent hint of empty chairs in the reserved- seat section. They pull off their gloves only when assured that the public will no longer pay to watch the last flickering of the flame of youth. Henry Mustolini exchanged one distine- tion for another; he quit the ring while still a drawing card. There were other matches in prospect; the first knockout registered against him had revived interest in his remarkable career; and there was a general demand for a second meeting with O'Day. It came from the ring patrons who had missed the first encounter and there- fore felt themselves defrauded. “‘Nothing doing,”’ said the pieces of the Iron Man [ony argued and expostulated, but could make no headway against the stubbornness that was one of Henry’s characteristics “They'll say you're a quitter.” “Let ’em.” “They'll say you're afraid of O’ Day “Well, that’s all right.” Tony thought that it was all wrong, but in time he accepted the situation with as much grace as he could muster, and made a round of the newspaper offices bearing the news that the [ron Man had fought his last fight. ‘You see,” he explained, ““we always figured to quit when somebody came along and stopped us. We don’t have to fight if we don’t want to; we got ours and we're going to hang onto it. Our record is good enough to quit on—one hundred and forty- seven fights, and only one knockdown, Where can you beat that?” In the meantime the red-headed thunder- bolt who scrap-heaped the Iron Man reaped the reward of the victor and had the Rialto all to himself. O’Day purchased a ready- made suit of an eye-aching plaid, some startling neckwear, a cheap cameo ring, a cane with a handle of imitation ivory, fash- ioned to represent the head of an alligator, and patent-leather shoes with uppers of After winning two more battles in whirlwind style he took himself out of town in search of further conquests. After O’Day’s departure it was thought that Henry would emerge from his retreat and adorn the cigar stands and pool-parlor entrances as of yore; but this was an error. Literally, as well as figuratively, the Lron Man had gone back to the junk shop, and there buried himself among the bottles and thesacks. No amount of coaxing could make him show himself on the street; he would not even attend the weekly boxing yntests. ‘If I went,” said he to Tony, “‘they’d call me ‘Scrap Iron.’ Yeh, him and the mustard-colored cloth newspapers hung that name on me—hung it on so it'll stick. I'll never get rid of it. I guess I'll help the old man wit’ the busi- ness. It’s all I’m good for now.” A fair amount of pride is a blessing, and too much of it is a curse, but the man who suddenly finds himself stripped of the last shred of self-respect is indeed to be pitied. In his simple, elemental fashion. Henry had taken great pride in the title of Iron Man; losing it he felt that he had lost everything that made life worth living. Tony, watching his brother closely, be- came alarmed. He knew the mental col- lapse that often follows years of solid punching about the head, and he tried hard to rouse Henry from his lethargy. Tony found him one day sitting among the empty bottles and spelling out the press notices ot his past ‘You got to quit this, Henry,” said he. “It ain’t doing you any good. You're let- ting yourself get all out of shape.” ““What do I want to stay in shape for?”’ asked Henry dully. **So’s to be } ealthy, for one thing. Come tir you up os protested, but Tony finally gained and from that time on tl f though nothing was vel about a return to the ring. Wher properly stung Henry would lower his head and show flashes of his old form. He se! dom mentioned O’Day by name, but the redhead was often in his thoughts. “If somebody would only lick that guy,”’ he would say, apropos of nothing, “I'd feel better about it. But he’s winning right along. They’re touting him to be champion y. It was in the paper.” f he gets to be champion,” suggested ‘“‘so much the better for you. We can say it took a champion to stop you.” “But I want him licked!” cried Henry “Licked! It’s about the only thing I do want!” “Well,” said Tony, these days. They all do.” “And that’s the truth,” said Henry mournfully, and would have continued the conversation along those lines, but Tony wisely changed the subject. “he'll get it one of Six months later O’ Day returned to town wearing two diamonds of the sort that looks best by electric light, and the haughty manner of a conquering hero. He brought with him a brisk, weasel-faced little man who answered to the name of Spider Foley, and who lost no time in informing the news paper men that he was O’Day’s manager and would soon make the redhead a world’s champion. He also stated that O’ Day was ready to box any lightweight at any time and under any conditions, but the real truth he told to Michael Callahan, the local promoter of glove contests. “No,” said the Spider, “we ain't here ing a real fight. Of course, if we can ch » something soft that’s different. I'd t my boy go on and spar an exhibition or “ick over a set-up, but nothing tougher I } le I t han that. He’s as good as matched with Young Daly now, and if we lick Daly the old champ will have to take notice of us So we ain’t taking chances. If your folks here want to see O'Day, show us money enough, find something soft and we'll talk business. Your Iron Man is barred.”’ “Our Iron Man has quit,” said C: “I’m hearing that he’s gone just a litt daffy.” ““O’ Day thought he might want a return match,” said Foley, “and he barred him be cause we don’t want to have totrain forany body until we take on Young Daly Well, wno can you get for us? And it bet- ter be ten rounds. O’ Day ain’t enough of a * to show up well in less,.”’ Callahan inquired among the local por and-beaners, but found them lacking in er thusiasm. The wrecker of the Iron Mar was greatly respected, and none of the | lightweights wanted his game. With one accord they began to make excuses. Soapy Brodie mentioned a wounded thumb and blamed a medicine ball. Waterbury Holmes thought the short end of the purse was too short. Dangerous Doyle needed a month in which to train. Callahan had nearly aban- doned hope, when a human sacrifice walked into his office. “Hello, Tony,” said the promoter. “Haven't seen much of you lately, but I (Continued on Page 89 boxer Wal

BROWN CO 70 Maple St Rochester, N.Y Also Sanford’s Premium Writing Fluid Best for All Records And Sanford’s Library Paste in the Utopian Jar Sold Everywhere EVENING POST Of course these numbers include only the field pieces. The guns of heavy caliber siege guns, howitzers, naval guns and coast- fortification guns—are being used in ad- dition to the field pieces. Nearly twenty thousand guns of al! calibers and descrip- tions, not counting machine guns, aéroplane guns, and the like, are lined up face to face along the Western Front, together with five million effectives. This means that to-day the artillery numbers one gun to every 250 fighting men. And this proportion is on the increase. No doubt before the war is over there will be one cannon for every 100 men. The quantity of she lls fired by this mur- Dur- derous orchestra is trul ly stupendous. ing the first four months the German guns fired some nine milli shells on Verdun alone. Yet men surv sao the downpour of shot—which supports the theory that hun- dreds of shells are needed sometimes to kill a single individual. Men are often buried by the explosions without suffering so much as a scratch. Closely hemmed in by mur- derous fire entire companies may suffer little. But it is all chance; for one single ll, by contrast, may kill 50 to 100 men if it falls in the midst of a troop. This element of chance, however, has been reduced to a minimum in the famous French 75-millimeter guns. These little pieces can fire thirty shots a minute with such astonishing precision that the shells seem to be set down by an invisible hand. Yet the military world regarded them skep- tically in the beginning The Germans frankly “silly French toys.” Barely twenty years gray guns were observed in the French army posts for the first time. They skipped and pranced behind their six horses, which seemed quite as much out of place hitched laughed at the ago these little blue- to this dainty thing as they would pulling a lady’s dogeart in the Bois de Boulogne. The roar of German laughter at this gun was louder than the crack of a whole bat- 75's. What good could these grass- hoppers do against the huge 420 Bertha or against the solid 77 Kruy sp gun ? For igh the French 75 is only two millimeter Germ an 77, the mass of latter hole is of most impos Decidedly the French would tery of 75's. ever thoi than the | round the ing bulk. wage war with childish frippery. To be just, the French themselves did not take their new fieldpiece very seriously. but then, and love is The gunners did speak well of it: every gunner loves his gun blind. The French, though, are view matters lightly rather thanskeptically. Besides, they have of believ- ing what lovers say. decided to inclined to the weakness So they give the 75 a chance And the gun has proved itself a marvel. Every Frenchman to-day has the sentiment of a gunner. German Spy-Work The marvel was not a miracle, however. It was the solution of a problem painstal ingly arrived at. Artillery had been an aux- ili? all through history. The plain r d s it fired could not stop an ad- vancing battalion, not even after the im- provements made by Gustavus Adolphus venteenth and Gribeauval in the eighteenth century. Each ball might knock men in a row—but no more. n wars increased the numbers of men pitted against each other the old- type cannon lost all efficacy. In the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, rifled cannon were 7 use. Their fire was more accutate. In » latter war the Germans had an advantage in the possession of a ch-loading cannon. The ‘adoption by » Frenc ch Army of the ninety-millimeter De Bange breechloader restored the equal- in the s¢ down three When moder ity of armament. But this 90 could fire only one shot per minute. Greater rapidity of fire had become essential. In 1890 General Matthieu, direc- tor of the French artillery, learned of a model field gun which Krupp’s had adopted. This gun recoiled on the gun carriage, which itself remained stationary. Immediately French ingenuity cont rived a gun after that pattern. Now General Matthieu’s information had been wrong. Krupp’s had rejected the plan for this kind of gun. It had been proposed but was not made. The French, however, felt they were on the right track. In 1894 Captain Deport had designed the gun according to General Matthieu’s specifications. But the French War Department slighted his offer; Captain Deport resigned his post. His gun was made by private enterprise. May !8,1918 Captains Sainte-Claire Deville and Rim- ailho, whom the invention of the 105 and the short 155 made famous, improved the . piece further. Before the French Army could finally adopt the gun, German espionage had to be sidetracked. The German spies were lured away on a false scent, especially away from the hydropneumatic brake, which was an important feature of the gun. Ap- propriations for the gun were next smuggled through the French under the guise of “Artillery repairs’ expenses.” Meanwhile the Germans rushed work on the plan they had spied out, and in 1896 finished their 77 field gun. They prided themselves on having executed French bragging that the French clever enough at thinking up novelties but that they “left the execution of their ideas to others.” One year later, in 1897, Congress invention were the French field- piece, Model 1897, was finished. It was the famous 75. It was superior to the German gun. But the Germans would not yet admit it. Their vanity was at stake. Egotism obstinately counsels errors, among Germans more so even than among other people. Besides, Fritz had spent a great deal of money on his 77 and he hated to pay all over again for a new gun as good as the derided French 75. So he sought com- fort in vaunting the superior- ity of his own 77 until proofs in the present war convinced him his derision, Speed and Accuracy entire Dat ._ transtormed the It revolutionized Th e littie 75 army organizat tle met hods Itt necessitated the adaptation of the entire army to the character of this gun, which became the ve ry pivot of all firing maneuvers. A certain French general brought an indefatigable activity to the new organization. He finally codified the liaison between the arms. His ideas, violently com- bated at first, are universally accepted to-day. The nickel-steel tube of the 75 is about two and a half yards long. Certain other a secret, enter into its A ¢ old-forged sleeve pre ee cts the rear two-thirds of the tube. The rifling alloys, which are composition. takes place after the sleeve has been adjusted Breechblock, gun carriage and hydro- pneumatic brake are all of special design. The latter takes up the recoil of the gun and keeps the gun practically immovably pointed, so that need be wasted between shots to correct the aim; which is no time the secret of the rapid f gig tel a ge The pointing of the 75 has been made equally ump! » and sure.

The 75 fires shrapnel shells 33 centi- meters long. Each shell weighs about 15 and a half milli 302 lead bullets In the interstices pounds and has walls five meters thick. It contains : we eigh ing 12 grams each. between the layers of bullets is compressed powder. The shell explodes a certain period after being fired. The period is mathemati- cally calculated according to the distance of the target. A fulminating cap on the shell is pie ‘rced at the exact spot to set off the shell at the proper instant. This hole used to be pierced by hand, a slow and delicate ope bars which the Germans still adhere to. The French, however, pierce the cap automatically with a simple little crank device. Its details may not be divulged. No matter what happens, this timing tool may never be left to fall into the enemy’s hands. The timing can be done so infinitesimally accurately that the shell can be made to explode just before hitting the target. In this way the shrapnel bullets and shell fragments rain down upon the enemy and gain greatly in deadly effect. Another shell fired by the 75 is the meli- nite shell, of the same dimensions as the shrapnel shell, but about four pounds lighter. It contains no bullets, but 830 grams of an explosive composed of sixty per cent creosol and forty per cent melinite. (Continued on Page 97)

104 THE SATURDAY EVENING POST May 18, 1918 Improved Summer Underwear EGARDLESS of your size or form, there is a Rockinchair Union Suit to fit you with absolute comfort. After studying statistics showing the varying sizes, shapes and figures of thousands of men, a leading designer of men’s clothes developed the new, unique Rockinchair method of sizing—which means that the short, the tall, the lean, the stout, are as perfectly fitted as the ‘‘regular’’! The difference in comfort between Rockinchair and other underwear is the same as the difference between a comfortable rocking chair and the plain, straight backed chair. Rockinchair not only fits perfectly, but it is also burlt for comfort. The full natural blouse above the waist permits perfect ease in all bodily move- ments—no binding, anywhere. The waistband that snugly fits the waist, like that of your trousers, keeps the garment in position. The one-piece closed seat (just like your trousers) is both comfortable and sanitary. It means a really closed crotch There is no complicated seat to sag, or gaping split seat to bunch and annoy you.

108 THE SATURDAY EVENING POST May 18, 1915 ARMCO IRON \ For Shipbuilding a Speed up the shipping program. Build more boats and y ee yet more boats. That is the world’s sea-flung challenge Pry to America. America will answer that challenge by building boats faster than Hun Hate can sink them. She will dot every sea with the white-sailed symbols of America’s right to trade anywhere, any time. The thousands of patrol boats, submarine chasers, merchant vessels and transport-ships built to nullify Hun Piracy and further American Trade—will require sheet or metal parts which, for the sake of durability, should be made of Armco (American Ingot) Iron. Armco Iron stubbornly resists the action of sea water and other corrosive influences, because it is remarkably free from the impurities that cause rust and because it is made even throughout. Armco Iron insures the length of service that is the best economy. Make the smoke-stacks and boiler cases of every boat with Blue Annealed Armco Iron. Make the ven- tilators and interior linings of every craft of Armco Galvanized Iron. Save the shipping industry many thousands of dollars by putting broken ship parts back into service with Armco Iron Welding Material. } Armco Special Analysis Castings and I orgings for scores of shipbuilding purposes are prominent among the products of The American Rolling Mill Co. They are made with the same care and fidelity and by the same unexcelled organization as Armco Iron itself.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST May 18,1918 a How the Armies need for meat was answered | ies a fighting man’s ration meat is the important item. Twenty ounces of fresh beef, or its equivalent, is called for daily. To supply the meat needs of an army that was suddenly expanded from 100,000 to 1,500,000 is a tremendous task. Added to the needs of the Allies, it is a staggering one. In one week, Swift & Company was called upon to supply the Allies and the American Army abroad 24,000,000 pounds of meat and fats—enough to have fed America’s peace-time army for more than six months. An order of this size means the dress- ing of 13,000 cattle and 200,000 hogs. To move the finished products 800 freight cars were needed. Of these, 650 were from the Swift refrigerator fleet. Three days after the order was re- ceived by Swift & Company shipments began, and the whole amount was roll- ing seaward within a week. Swift & Company’s entire resources have been geared to every war demand Since January 1, 1918, over 400 car loads of our products per week have been shipped abroad on war require- ments. The Nation’s meat-supply machinery has stood the test. Not once has there been a failure to meet the Government’s needs. This service Swift & Company per- forms without governmental guarantee of profit, and with a limit of 9 per cent return on capital employed in the meat departments. This means about two cents on every dollar of sales. Swift & Company, U.S A.
