Some of practiced by Uncle Sam in these spendthrift days would make a thrifty_housewife envious. The good old days in the army when the soldier was allowed to overdraw his clothing allowance without an explanation are past. A “busted” palr of trousers, and half-worn.out shoes are rejuvenated at the army camps and cantonments and made to serve again. Even the 1anes of army horses are scrupulots- ly saved and sold to upholsterers. Torn trousers and worn shoes must be produced before a like article in order is issued No limit is the amount of clothing a o long as he wears out that which is issued to him At Camp Zachary Tayl > and at every other ing center in the country no ned is allowed near train- con- to go to scrap heap if some part of it can be sa‘\aged and used to repair some other piece of equipment. No waste of materials about the camp is al- owed to go unnoticed or unchecked. Too many broken pieces of bread n a garbage can will bring to the commander of the unit a notice from he commanding general of the camp to have his cooks issue bread in smal- er slices so that none will be wasted. The general has learned of the waste through daily reports laid on his desk. Every pair of shoes condemned as unfit for further use passes under s of skilled shoemakers in olive irab, drawn from the ranks. A sur- prisingly large percentage find their vay back into the quartermaster’s stock to be re-issued. Some of them are practically reconstructed A soldier wears the seat out of a pair of khaki trousers, and gets a new pair. The soldier-tailor in the shops of the condemnation and re- slaimation division finds another pair which have faded to about the same thade and replaces the missing seat. » The garment itself goes ba into store and is reissued for rrison wear.

His scription of the manner in wh opposing forces are aligned above {trenches is made public by the soct ty in the following war geography bulletin issued from its Was headquarters “It will explain in a few meihods of the pursuit or fighting planes and the special duties which the uviators of the pursuit squadror have to perform. To understand the tactics of our machines vou must be acquainted with the methods of th enemy—that is, with the f adopted by the Germans for cution of their work. “In normal times the planes are disposed in three the most clevated being also farthest from the front “1. The spotting and infantry planes, at a height of about 3,500 feet and at least half a mile from the front. These are protected by i A defense (barrage) of two- seaters, at a height of about 9,000 feet and from two to three within their lines. “3. Lastly by the ‘Aces.’ who, util- izing the best single-seat and a few two-seat planes, hold themselves at a height of about 12,000 feet, between three and four miles back of lines. “In periods of crisis tack is believed imminent, or when photographs are to he taken within our lines, the Germans launch large sroups of machines over the affected points. In particular, reconnaissance missions are executed at 13,500 to 15,500 feet “To this rigid and defensive ar- rangement we oppose a war of move- ment by the employment of offensive cruisers, terraced like the enem machines, which it is their duty to at- tack “Our fighting machines are at pres- ent swift single-seaters, flving from 125 to 140 miles per hour, each armed with one or two machine-guns, rigidly fasiened to the airplane and capable of shooting only in the direction of the axia of the machine, not pivoted like the guns on war vessels. “The pilot must therefore fly straight at the enemy in order to be able to fire at him. He must be skill- ful in aiming and steering at the same time. so that at the moment for firing the hostile plane will be in the sighting line of his machine gun. T leave you to imagine the skill re- quired to attain this result, when one attacks an enemy flying at an aver- age velocity of 125 miles per hour, with his own machine going at an equal or greater speed. Varions Modes of Attack. “The - following are the principal cases of attack for fighting planes: “1.

Tt is seldom that one of the enemy in his excitement, does not detach by turning to the right. while the others turn to the left. It is upon the former that our fighter precipitates himself. ‘4.
