With the British Armies in

attack tho British positions east

refused to participate, and the
rest went on 'without them, the
British withdrawing four hun

Later the British reattacked,
paying particular attention to the
flanks, and drove the Germans
out. Then a second time the en

counterattack. This time, it is
reported, the whole body refused,
and only a few .patrols were seen
by the British.

NOTHING EXCITING
LETERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER
Escadrille Spad 38,
Secteur Postal 12,
June 24, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Another bad day of wind and
rain, but am I downhearted? Most
decidedly no! for you know I have
"une petite professeur" now (yes,
'•professeur" 'is feminine), and am
having no end of amusement show
ing off my French and listening to
my blue-eyed, dimpled professeur
trying to pronounce "thirty, thirteen
or any other English W< JT < * Y. r
"thirteen" or any "r" in. But if I
laugh at her vain efforts she cer
tainly gets back at me with
words containing "u" or oi. My
efforts along that line are every bit
as ludiscous ,and the whole family
had no end of amusement to-day
listening to me vainly trying to say
"pline" and "au petite professeur,
sav "Thursday." Golly!! It was not
only funny but tempting as well, for
the lisping way she said it gave one
a wild desire to kiss her—maybe
if mother hadn't been there I might
have tried it. Sure, mother's on the,
job all the time, for this is one of the
nice girls. To-day she was darning
socks with the aid of a potato, so I
learned the verb "to darn avery
close relation to dam. But she did not
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
know that, never having heard me
talk to my motor.
The other day 1 arrived just as the
family were starting on a trip In the
French Ford —a one-horse cart—and
being duly Invited to go along ac
cepted with pleasure. The pleasure
didn't last long. There wasn't enough
action, what with three' girls, and
talking French at that, how was one
lone man going to get a tvord in
edgewise? besides we went so blow
I wanted to get out and push. Dis
covering that their journey might be
of six hours' duration, and X might
be wanted at the scadrille that after
noon I dismounted at the escadrille.
Later, having a new motor to try out,
and remembering their route of
travel and flying rather low, I follow
ed along looking for a one-horse
cart Of course, X didn't see it, but as
I flew over little towns along the
route I made little dives, jumps and
steep turns. The next day when I
showed up for my lesson (?) right
away they wanted to know if I was
the foolish one doing acrobatics so
low. I admitted the lowness, but not
the acrobatics for I had not done
any. Anyway the "professeur" had
seen that her pupil could at least fly
easier than he could talk. Really, my
knowledge of French is nearly as
surprising to me as to her at times,
because I have done little studying,
merely picking up a word here, a
phrase there and incidentally ac
quiring some slang which "profes
seur" scolds me most unmercifully
for. It's most amusing to hear her
speak quick aside to her mother,
trusting to my lack of knowledge not
to understand, and see her surprised
expression when I do. The darning
was nearly stopped on that account
to-day when she was going to throw
the potato at me.
Nothing Exciting
Now don't get excited Dad, for you
have yet to see me get serious, so
don't go making plans to receive the
prodigal son and let out the fatted
calf, for he is not oing to bring a
"poailet" with him. And you know I
have to learn French some way and
I don't think you could suggest one
more pleasant way.
True, it's nearly "Fourth of July,"
but I have not suffered from the
heat yet. Honestly, this country is as
oad as California when the sun is
not shining. One wants to dig up his
flannels (red ones) and fur coat, for
it sure is chilly. In the chilly
weather reminds me of one of my
comrades at Tours, who was such a
cold-blooded dulter he slept with his
cap on. Some go even further and
say that all he ever took off when
he went to bed was his necktie. I
have not reached that stage as yet,
but I tell you, if it don't warm up
pretty soon, X sure will.
That aviators are 'superstitious as
a class, there is no doubt, for flies
there a Frenchman who does not
carry his particular "fetish" with
him? I doubt it. As for these charms,
they are as numerous and varied as
the men themselves. To-day though,
I saw one that sure surprised me. It
was a large picture one meter square
of the Virgin Mary, covering one side
of the body of the plane, and in di
rect contrast to this sacred emblem,
on the opposite side was the escad
rille emblem, consisting of a fero
cious looking green alligator swim
ming on a blackground. With hfs
double rows of white teeth he pre
sented such an odd contrast that one
gazed in wonder and amazement at
one who dared so much, as it seem
ed as sacriligeous as carrying the
"Ark of the Covenant" into battle.
Ear Warmers
Another Frenchman had a doll all
dressed up in black velvet, trimmed
with white, sitting on the body of his
"Zing" just back of his head. The
beauty of this "fetish" drew my at
tention for it surely was "chic" look
ing. Of course, every Frenchman has
one of his lady's silk stockings to
warm his ears and hold his hair in
place when in the air. To see one
without the protection would be
orange and unlikely—possible but
highly impossible. Sometimes one
who is somewhat of a dude will have
several different colors. And those
colors! Gee! they would put Joseph's
coat to shame!— No. I do not wear
one, not having become that inti
mately acquainted with any "mar
rains" yet.
Speaking about war paint, you
should see some of these battle
planes the way they are painted up.
Why, their variety of coloring and
ferocious/ aspect would make an
Apache war chief green with envy.
All types of animals are used, for ex
ample, the alligator I told you about,
but not satisfied with that, the pilots
go further and paint the nose of
their machines every conceivable
color and pattern under the sun. I
can well believe some of the de
signs would pcare tffe Hun to death
even If no bullet hit him. As for our
escadrille, the dominating color is
red—p)ain red, our commander's
plane being entirely of that color,
while the rest of the .plane's have
their noses only a brilliant crimson.
It's time for bed now, and I am
both tired and sleepy, even though
I have done nought but eat and read
all day.

PLANT HERE MUST
INCREASE OUTPUT
Iron Age Says Every Nerve
Must Be Strained During
September
The local steel plant figures In
with the many steel plants of the
country which according to the Iron
Age, must increase their output dur
ing September to meet the shortage
of government materials during the
month of August. Commenting on
the steel trade of the last week the
Iron Age of to-day says:
"With more emphasis than ever
the war industries board has put be
fore the steel trade in the past week
the imperative call for rails, plates
and shell steel. New needs cabled
from France have added to the gap
between capacity and requirements,
and the amount now wanted in the
last four months of the year will
bring the total for the second half up
to 23,000,000 tons, as against an esti
mate of 20,000,000 tons early in July
and probable production of 17 to 18
millions for the six months.
"Yet output does not increase, and
eve'ry nerve must be strained to make
up in September for the inroad
made by an unusual number of hot
and highly humid days in August.
"A swelling of overseas demand,
due to the aggressive activities of the
Allied forces, has changed greatly
the operating schedules of the mills.
Urgen' calls have been received for
rails, rolling stock and shell steel
and temporarily some home needs,
even cars for our own roads, may
have to stand aside.
"Coming immediately after a
heavy distribution of 82 mm. shell
bars, an emergency order for 140,000
tons more of this steel, with the same
amount to go each month up to
February; the allocation of 75,000
tons of rails for France, and the or
ders now being distributed for 122,-
500 tons of plates and shapes for new
construction in Japan for the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, have al
ready made the expected larger pur
chases of cars for France a matter
of the farther future. Rush construc
tion will be given 4,000 narrow guage
cars for the army abroad, following
the placing last week of the 20,000
additional 30-ton cars; and many
more of these larger size cars are
wanted.
"Last year's heavy accumulations
of export steel at Atlantic ports
waiting for ship room were cut down
700,000 tons in the first seven
months of this j-ear. Mills have been
urged to build up stocks for France
at seaboard against the railroad
blockades of winter, but thus far
have fallen steadily behind the ocean
movement."
