No Bargain Sales of Your Uncle Sam's War Goods
WASHINGTON. Ever since the signing of tho armistice pcopto have been
wondering whnt the government wan going to do with nil the war material
It couldn't use. Apparently no ono has taken the trouble to find out, for rumors
V the wildest kind have been circu
spondence which Is constantly pouring Into the headquarters of tho war
department.
Tho war department hates to disappoint tho public, but It Is forced to
Insist thnt there Is not tho slightest bit of truth tn these rumors. Tho
department Is n dignified Institution, and not a Junk shop. It .still has so much
work to do thnt It has plenty of uso for nil Its motorcars, and has no Intention
of selling any. It Is also unnwnre that any of Its airplanes nro to be offered
for sale, at uny price at nil certainly not at tho ridiculous price of $100.
The government Is tnklng every precaution to prevent any disruption to
Industry through the unloading of war material. During tho wnr many
American Industries more than tripled their production in order to meet the
needs of the army. The government cannot now turn Its war surplus bnck on
the mnrket to the Injury of these Industries. It must see thnt they are
protected.
Latest New Thing Is to Be "Duello of the Sky"
WORD comes from Paris thnt something new will happen there as soon ns
peace Is signed. This new thing will be the first aerial duel In history.
The principals, because of the fuct they are members of the French army
aviation corps, feel they should not
lessen their country's neriul force by
even one so long ns a stnte of war ex
ists. They Insist, however, that they
are determined to settle their dlfllcul
tles In this unique manner ns soon as
the emergency ceases to exist.
The principals arc Corp. Leon
Vnudecrano, chief editor of tho trade
paper L'Exportateur Francals, and
Cnpt. Robert Schrelber, chief editor of
a competing pnper, Echos do Exporta
tion. Schrelber's father Is a Germun.
During an edltorlnl war Schrelber wrote Vnudecrane a letter which the latter
thought Insulting. Viuidecrnne sent his seconds to Schrelber.
"I Intend to use n Nlouport chasing plane of 120 horse power, armed with
a Vlckers machine gun," Vnudecrane said. "Roth my seconds Captain Madon,
ono of the French nccs, nnd Lieutenant Bubo nnd my adversary's seconds
have decided that owing to the state of war, a settlement Is Impossible until
after peace Is signed. But I continue In my desire to bring down M. Schrelber,
putting a few bullets through him and his machine."
Believers In the theory that mnnklnd progresses In circles can find bnsls
Jot their arguments In the history of the French duel. A few centuries ago
a duel vns almost always to the death. As It got tamer It,bcgnn to go out of
style. Tho world greeted with n smile the prewar "bloodless duel of Purls."
An airplane duel certainly gets back to first principles.
A. E. F. Gathering Its Dead for Permanent Burial
AMERICA'S soldier dead In France are to be brought homo by the govern
ment ns soon ns conditions after peace will permit, subject to tho wishes of
their families. Former Attorney General Gregory Is at work in Frunce pre

to the United States. You will uppreclutc that there were over 00,000 casual
ties nbroad. Organizations luive been formed overseas known ns grave regis
tration units, whose duty It Is to look after burials, to care for the cemeteries,
and to preserve Identification records."
Concerning the work of the graves registration units In France, the
Stars and Stripes, ofllclal newspaper of the A. 10. F., printed In Paris, says:
"Tho A. E. F. in gathering Its dead together, that in death they nmy be as in
life In serried ranks. From frozen dugouts, from old ruins, from those
hnstlly Improvised and now sunken openings In the ground that were shell
holes and bnttle graves, from wheat fields and river bank and meadow knoll,
from nil of the thousands of places of Isolation und great loneliness, the dead
are being tenderly lifted and borne to take their places In the ordered rnnUs
of the army."
Regarding rechecklng the casualty lists, General Pershing has cabled tho
war department: "No accurate estimate of unreported deftths can be given.
There are, however, approximately 5,500 missing to be accounted for, all f
whom have been reported to Washington as missing. This compares with the
British otllclal list of 101,000 missing nnd the French of 200.000,"
Port of Missing Ships"
GREATEST mystery of the recorded
In ships Is the disappearance of the
10,000 tons, she left Rio tie .Tunelro In
cargo of manganese, 57 passengers,
20 officers nnd n crew of 213, March
4 she reported nt Burbadoes for bun
ker coal. Since that date there Is ab
solutely no trnce of ship, passengers
or crew, In spite of persistent nnd sys
tematic search by the navy department
the world over.
Did her engines break down and
the sea overwhelm her?
Did her cargo shift and1 she turn
turtle, going down like a stone?
Did she break In two, either on a
glnnt wave with her bow nnd stern unsupported, or with no support under
her center, the wave having "run out from under?"
Vns there an explosion from gas generated by the manganese?
Was there an explosion of 'her boilers?
Was she torpedoed by a submarine? Did she strike u mine? Was there
an explosion of u set and timed bomb aboard?
Was she delivered to the Germuns by treachery?
Two facts would seem to answer all of these questions except the lust.
One is thnt she was equipped with n powerful wireless and no message was
received from her anywhere. Tho oilier Is that exhaustive search of the
waters found no boat, spar, timber, life-belt or oar. As to tho Inst possibility,
tho Cyclops Is not ut Kiel und the German admiralty officially states thnt It
can throw no light, wlwtevcr on her fate.
Presumably tho U. S. S. Cyclops Is in the Port of Missing Ships and her
passengers and crew uro In Davy Jones' locker.

lated. Ono of these was to the effect
that the government would soon sell a
large number of Its wnr automobiles
nnd motortrucks at the price of $.100
nplece. Another stated that airplanes
at $100 uplece were to be offered to
the public by the war department.
What prices were quoted oil Hitch
miscellaneous things as typewriters,
desks, adding machines, soap, ,food,
automobile tires nnd mules can only
be guessed by the tone of tho corre
matter which must be taken up with
tho French government. Believing
that there will bo mnny Americans
who will desire that their soldier dead
should rest forever under the bnttle

pared a memorandum on the subject

case It would be necessary for the
foundation to tnke care ft practically
the entire distribution of the load. On
the other hand, a monolithic pave

well bonded together, might distribute
the wheel loads to obviate all necessity
of further distribution by tho founda

provided and there were, no danger of
heaving of subgrndes, the foundation
might be omitted erftirely.
The heaviest vehicle that ordinarily
has. passed over a public highway
(heretofore Is the 10-ton traction en
gine. Such engines are so designed
thnt the rear axle carries about two
thirds of tho total weight, which ar
rangement gives a concentrated pres
sure on the road surface of about Ave
tons under each rear wheel. The use
of much heavier equipment Is In sight,
however, and unless some regulations
be passed to prohibit It, the occur
rence of ten-ton, or even heavier mo
tortrucks. - may become common on
highways ndjacent to lnrge cities or
between large centers that are only a
few miles apart.
In assuming tho maximum wheel
Joad for any particular road a reason
able allowance should be mndo for fu
ture increase. Since motortrucks have
come Into use there has been a con
stant tendency to Increase both their
rates of speed and the loads they carry,
and It Is probable that this tendency
will continue. Furthermore, mnny
roads not now subjected to motor
truck traffic will attract such traffic
after they are Improved, and this pos
sibility always should be considered.
