WOMEN MAKING '

t .-AMERICAN ARMY
Washington,' . May" 31. Women
who, as wives, mothers and sisters
of soldiers have a deep realization of
the necessity , for painstaking care
in their work, make the gas masks
for the American army.
- "Somewhere in the United States,
at a plant whose location, for obvious
reasons is not made public, thousands
of them are engaged in the delicate
and intricate operations, and in con
ducting tests .on the finished products.
They hare been organized in military
fashion, and specially selected for the
work.
: "It soon became apparent that the
type of women needed could not be
secured through the ordinary chan
nels of employment," says a statement
of the gas defense service, that sec
tion of the surireon ireneral's office
which controls the manufacture, "and
men were sent to localities displaying
service flags to secure the services of
women vitally interested, who would
be most loyal in their work, and ex
tremely anxious to send out perfect
; ess masks." i
Sewing face pieces, assembling sec
tions and making sure that the finished
mask will be impervious to gas re
quires a whole series of complicated
ooerations. Schools were established
and the women selected were trained
in special courses until they became

- At-
London, April 23. Some of the

Seven of LudendorfFa associates are

The spirit of democracy knows
neither race nor color. '
No people in the world are fight
ing more bravely for the principles
of liberty than the negro soldiers of
America and the race in Omaha is
setting a fast pace in waf work.
The negro soldiers are holding their
sector of the line "over there" with
a courage that bodes trouble for the
German cause. The race that won
the day for the Americans at 1
Caney and San Juan are living up
to their reputation for bravery in
battle. As a fighting man the negro
soldier stands high. The boast,
"There never was a negro traitor,"
goes unchallenged, for the military
annals of the rac are unsmirched
by a story of treason.
While their men folks are fighting
the women are busy with the many
works of mercy which war makes
for women. Omaha negro women
have a Red Cross auxiliary which
has made hundreds of garments for
use in hospitals. 1 hey meet- every
Tuesday! afternoon at the Negro
Woman a Christian Home, thirtieth
and Pinkney streets. The officers in
clude Mrs. I, Bailey, president; Mrs.
J. Brown, secretary; Mrs. George
Johnson,treasurer.
Five-year-old Virgil Johnson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Johnson, 2816 Pratt street, is the
club's mascot. She has never missed
meeting and the women declare
she is a real help. She is an ac
complished knitter and, if the war
continues until winter, many a big
negro soldier will bless the work ot

American Seaplane draining Camp,
Italy, May 30. The day of an aviator
under instruction is a long one in this

conducted by a crack pilot instructor
who varies the motonoy by sharp
dives after lake ducks which, when
caught on the wires, are handed over
to the Italian mechanics as a bribe
to increase their efficiency.
W hue most of the students , have
already passed ground work training
and examinations whether in France
or the United States, this camp is con
sidered an excellent - place not only
for learning the practical handling of
foreign machines, hut also for brush
ing, up the element of the offiical list
of studies. -
The use of special instruments such
as the inclinometers, those registering
altitude and the like, and the time
when such instruments will fail to
register, when a fellow must go by

cussion
It is in these discussions, with the
more experienced men about such as
a warrant officer, who has grown up
in the steam navy and knows sea con
ditions, that the students get much
valuable information on how to act
under given circumstances.
"What would you do if a bird
struck you in the face and broke your
goggles?" is one of the puzzling
questions sometimes put. While this
accident has never occurred' so far as
any of the men know, some maintain
it comes within the range of possi
bility. . : ' -

first task has been the removal of pic

whether within churches or standing
in the open, has been protected by

that's just what Uncle Sam is going
to do.",

very interesting sights on our way tb
camp," he narrates, "among them the
buildings, which are all made of stone.
The people all wear wooden shoes.
The farms are cut up into one-acre
fields, with a hedge fence around
them. It seems that about one-third
of the land is taken up by fences."

Place Stanislas at Nancy, the facade
of the Musse Lorrain and the tombs

"In regard to the ruins which the
German s have Jeft in their wake the
authorities have already decided not
jo give over to total destruction cer
tain relics, but to leave them for fu
ture generations as eloquent witnesses
of the war. . .
"There are place which have been
the scenes of so much , heroism that
theyjiave become places of pilgrim

sure their preservation and protect
