Signaling System Is Employed 

 in American Barrage 



SOME details of how the American 

 troops in France lay down a 

 barrage before an attack is made by 

 infantry are related by Major-Gen- 

 eral Charles M. Clement, U.S.A.. 

 who has returned from an inspec- 

 tion trip to the front. A somewhat 

 elaborate system of signaling is 

 employed in connection with the 

 barrage. This system is changed 

 daily in order to frustrate the efforts 

 of spies. The width of the barrage 

 varies, and the fire is made inten- 

 sive or light, depending on whether 

 the men move backward or forward. 



This Submarine Raises Money 

 Instead of Killing 



THIS is the story of a submarine 

 that invaded Scarborough, England, 

 penetrating the very heart of the city 

 without causing the loss of a single life. 

 Furthermore, it was the means of helping 

 to raise $500,000. 



It was at first planned to have an under- 

 sea craft anchor in the harbor in order to 

 spur persons to give to the fund. This 

 idea being found imprac^^ical, a street- 

 car submarine bank was built. The actual 

 work consisted in transforming the vehicle 

 into a submarine on wheels. The mem- 

 bers of the crew shown in the accom- 

 panying illustration are Scarborough 

 "sea scouts," each of whom, has been on 

 vessels torpedoed by German submarines. 



The cave probably marks the place where a 

 boulder dropped out of the surrounding snow 



Nature Carves a Queer Snow-Cave 

 in the California Sierras 



THE accompanying picture is a June 

 snow-scene in the high sierras of Cali- 

 fornia. During the progress of a govern- 

 ment survey the engineers found the 

 peculiar cave formation in the end of a 

 bank of snow which was rapidly melting 

 away under the rays of the sun. It is not 

 known how the cave was formed, but it is 

 believed that it contained a big boulder 

 which, when it became warmer, dropped 

 out of the crust of snow enclosing it and 

 rolled down the mountain side. 



This submarine took money instead of lives when it in- 

 vaded Scarborough, England, to aid in raising $500,000 



Forts Built by Vauban Are All That 

 Remain of Ypres 



'^pHE only things left 

 JL standing in Ypres after 

 the German attacks are the 

 forts built by Vauban early 

 in the seventeenth century. 

 This was one of the com- 

 ments made by Major-Gen- 

 eral Charles M. Clement, 

 U. S. A., regarding condi- 

 tions that attracted his at- 

 tention on the firing line in 

 France. He relates that in 

 these damp forts two British 

 commanders lived during 

 months of warfare. It is 

 queer that a seventeenth- 

 century fort should survive 

 a twentieth-century bom- 

 bardment.
