and supervised by our quartermaster depart-

 his own pocket. 



"Some time later, in fact just before the St. 

 Mihiel attack, a French balloon station estab- 

 Hshed itself near my headquarters in the same 

 forest, and to make a place for their balloon bed, 

 they cut several large trees, with the full author- 

 ity of the forestry officials, of course. It be- 

 came necessary for me to build some dug-outs 

 and bomb-proofs, and as these logs which they 

 had cut had laid in the ditches for some time 

 obstructing the drainage, I took them out and 

 used them in the roof of my dug-outs, using two 

 layers of logs and about three feet of broken 

 stone. The logs were not cut or injured in any 

 way, and yet the French forester measured each 

 log carefully, and charged it up against the 

 United States Army. When you stop to think 

 that all this happened close to the front line in 

 an area which was entirely under the German 

 barrage zone, you will get some idea of how the 

 Frenchmen take care of their forests. 



"The one thmg that strikes me about the 

 whole industrial system is the great economy 

 of raw material and money. Labor is apparent- 

 ly the least of their worries." 



WIRELESS P.1USIC AT SEA. 



Like all well-regulater ships, the transport 

 "George Washington" has a phonograph. It 

 also has wireless telephone equipment of the 

 latest design. On a recent occasion the phono- 

 graph horn and the telephone transmitter were 

 brought face to face, and the music started. 

 A hundred miles away, soldiers and sailors on 

 the transport "President Grant" gathered eager- 

 ly around a loud-speaking receiver, from which 

 issued the merry strains of song and fox trot, as 

 the concert ship threw its melodious vibrations 

 into space. Within the hundred-mile radius 

 were several other radio-equiper ships, and 

 when the concert was over the "George Wash- 

 ington's" operator was kept busy receiving en- 

 cores.
