Speaking at the opening eeasion of the convention, Dr. Charles W. Herty, a former President of the American Chemical Society, laid impressive etress upon the services the chemist owes the nation at this time: “Our soldiers soon to enter battle should be protected by the most lavish use possible of high explosives. Kvery pomibie pound of high explosive that this country can produce should be manufactured and transported to the Puropean battlefields. ‘Trench warfare has mot {ta master in high explosives. The ter rible sacrifice of life can be lessened by the ourtain of artillery fire.” “There ie no time to lows. High explosives mugt Keep pace, nay, must increase faster than our man power.” It has not needed the analyses of experts to show the world that warfare in Europe has been steadily developing scientific methods of expending munitions to spare men. A million shells a day are now fired from one sector of the French or British lines where a year ago 400,000 would have been a record number. Barrage fire has been brought to a point where its appalling volume, precision and control are well-nigh incredible. Preliminary artillery action can now be employed on such a scale and with such effect that cages are on record where French troops have advanced and taken predetermined objectives without @ single sol- dier killed, . Tn the first year of the war France and Great Britain suffered terribly because they could not afford to fire as many shells as the enemy. No one will ever know how many British might have heen spared to fight longer but for the grim fact that for months on the British front men had to take the place of metal. ‘To-day the conditions. are reversed. The Allies can fire faster and keep it up longer than the Germans, But for that very reason they owe it to themselves to use every iota of artillery advantage for the greater protection of their infantry, ‘The United States is sending ite millions of fighters overseas at a stage of the war when shortage of ammunition js unthinkable, when the only question should be: How fast can we make and get to the front the extra billions of shells that will save American lives ? The time has come, we are told, when the number of artillerymen who prepare an attack equals and sometimes exceeds the number of infantrymen who execute it. This great munition-making nation ought to be ready to back np and protect every American fighter who goes over the top of a trench with the most formidable volume of shell-fire the war has 4—JAS. S.

Nothing has been heard of him since he mado his last whirring climb into the air from Dunkirk two weeks ago, and it is believed he is either dead or a prisoner behind the enomy lines, The spectacular feats of this young airman of twenty-four as- tonished the world and stirred France to the highest pitch of en- thusiasm and pride, He was unquestionably « very special and constant terror to the enemy, Yet, be it noted, this formidable fighter was in person a particularly slender, frail young man who had been time after time rejected for regular army service because of his precarious health, and who probably could not have stood @ week of trench fighting. With the nerve and coolness of a fatalist and the instinct that “he travels farthest who travels alone,” Guynemer made his amazingly successful single-handed attacks upon the enemy from hia light air- plane with ita » machine gun, utterly regardless of difficulty or danger. His carcer was a striking instance of the way an indomitable spirit ignores handicaps of the flesh and finds machinery of war fitted to its capacity no less than to its purpose.

Young Copyright, 1917, by the Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Bening World.) America's former National Guard and her new National Army are being trained tn thirty-two camps that bear the names of men who hold high | rank in the country's history. This series of erticloa will endeavor to tell what these men did to merit such honors, ‘T is & happy avgury that tho city where the Twenty-seventh Divi- sion, U. 8. A. a now being as- nembled should bear such a he- rolo name as Spartanburg, or the city of tho Spartans, Just outside this Sonth Carolina town several of New York's National Guard regiments are being made over into regu- lara, Camp Wads- worth, their mustering place, takes Its title from one of tho herole figures of tho Civil War—Major Gen, James Samuel Wadsworth, U. 5. V. He was killed at the Battle of the Wilderners in 1864 at tho head of bia division, He} lingered on for two days after re- celving a fatal wound, and was bre- vetted Major General without aver recovering consciousness. Tho Wadsworths came of old stock, James, father of the General, was himself a Major General in the Con tUnental Army, Other mombers of the family held high rank in the sere vice of the Nation ho man who was to dio at derness Was born in Get Y., Oct. 80, 1507, Ile attended both and Yale and read jaw tn the office of Daniel Webster lin 1834 the future goldier Was admitted to prac- tico by the > York bur, but hel nover tyok Up bis profession actively, finde Kement of the family the tuto quiring all of his time, his estate comprised some 15,000 acres in Woatern New York ‘Throughout his young manhood and early years of maturity Wadsworth busied himself with the responsibill- tie. of a landed geniioman, He also took w keen interest in civic affairs and had @ hand jn political matters of the day, Then came Civil War. ‘Although without previous military training, Wadawerth av sponded to his country battle of Bull Run he under served Irvin mimon uuteer alde Gen for bravery 11 that first flict of the Civil War, w disastrously for the Peders On Aug. % 1861, Wadsworth was named Hrlgadler-General of Volun teers.

His akill and in- trepidity attracted attention at the Bartle of Fredericksburg, Deo, 13, 62, Wadsworth was a fighting man, He belleved that the way to win battles Was to strike the enemy quick and hard, So his tactics consisted largely in driving straight abead, ‘The day of July 1, 1868, found him upon the right wing Gottysburg. ‘The Southern armies were coming on in full career, They had tasted the sweets of recent victory in several notable engagements, It reemed that the rising tide of the Confederacy was about to sweep all before it. At this juncture the Confederate forces met Wadsworth's division, Ais troops were the first they encountered on the memorable fleld of Gettysburg. With a rush the Confederates came Wadsworth met the shock. In one day he lost 2,400 men out 4,000, Hut the Une held; the Confed~ crato rush had been checked, tf not halted. The next day and the day after Wadsworth's men helped to hold tho right of the line, » while Pickett’s legion was making tts tm- mortal effort to smash the centre. Pickett failed, The Union had been saved, At the Wilderness, May 6, 1864, Wadsworth once more was tn the thick of the fight. Again his men id an advanced post.
