Into another barracks. The interior was
dull and as brown ns tho outs'de, tp
that through the gloom 1 could fee tho

three stoves rcdhot and giving welcome

over tjpew rltcrs that were busily click

I presently left his quarters nnd went
again to tho open.
There we saw u machine on tho
ground, wheeling off for a rlso hi the
air. Suddenly It stopped while tho motor
purred furiously. "Stuck In tho mud,"
said the officer. With tho words, scvcial
mechanics started off toward tho plane,
hut berore reaching It. It had started
off nnd taken the air, rushing piace
fullv toward darkened heavens
"How high nro tho clouds, major?" I
asked. 4

England, Italy and Portugal and even I
In neutral countries. I
In addition to nn organized search
for supplies In Europe for saving ton
nage, the board Is dev Islng methods for I
savin shinning space. This plan Is In
operation through the manufacture In
France of the more bulky articles from
prime Imported material, such as steel
boilers from boiler plate, milk and water
cans from tin plate nnd by the tue of
substitutes for straw.
The board Is negotiating for the
nenulsltlon of Belgian locomotives and
timber products, which will Involve the
saving In the two articles alone of 160 -000
tons of cargo space. This material
If brought from the United States would
require thirty ships, each of C000 tons
capacity, for a period exceeding sixty
days.
The growing serl.asness of the sub
marine situation hfis made the problem
of saving tonnage one of vital Import
ance" Th-! effect of organized effort ln
this direction has brought results of
sueh magnitude as to surprise General
Pershing himself. To the w-i- of the
board General Perching gives .constant
attention. .
The head cf the purchasing boat I has
become In a sense the diplomatic, agent
of the army In all of Its supply dealings
with tho French and other Governments.
Attached to his offlce are French officers
ln close touch with all the supply de
partments and the French War Office.
