GAMEST IN THE WORLD i AmwiGHLAcmv. ia-Frarcc tbt-Fiottt. Ever Assembled. The Germans are in for a rude awakening if they are sincere in discounting the American army in France in the opinion of F. M. Cutluck, assistant official correspondent with the Australian imperial force in France. "The Americans," he asserted, "have a spirit for which the kaiser would sacrifice half of his numbers if lie could get it into his troops today." Returning from a visit to the "American forces, Mr. (hitlack wrote: "The dominant fact In the arrival of the United States army is the huge bigness of it. R is new?new as paint ?and keen as a racehorse in training, or rather a whole puddockful of racehorses. The world will probably not have the chance again of seeing such a spectacle of umateur warlike earnestness, for the Americans are learning very fast. "It saw something of the same sort when the Australian war army began long ago in 1914?the same lighthearted enthusiasm, the same rich raw quality nil untrained and inexperienced. the same outpouring of the very best of a whole country in an emotion of-national pride, counting neither cost nor returns. The Americans are not soldiers yet, and no people realize better than themselves how much they have still to do to make themselves soldiers, but they will be a great and powerful army in probably shorter time than they reckon upon. "Great armies have before this been raised for great causes, and the British empire has the best of reasons for knowing how with the vital spark In him the most unmilltary civilian may become a fine soldier. But no army you can read of in history ever marched with a more splendid ardor or faced a great struggle with serener satisfaction than the American expeditionary force In France. And It is such a mighty army. They will not tell you how big, and you are discouraged from guessing, but we ran through all a spring day In a huge automobile and still the American host dotted the landscape, drilling, marching, monoeuverlng, building camps and roads. "They are learning the art of fight Ins from the best soldiers of France and Britain, and many of their officers as attaches of one sort or another have seen a lot of this war from the German and Turkish side as well. We found a major who had watched the Gallipoll campaign from the top of Battleship Hill and was in the confidence of Liraan von Sanders and the Turkish Pashas. He has therefore a particularly warm regard for the Australians. "We went up to see the American line in Lorraine. In their khaki and round, tin hats among the Lorraine hills they look and act very much like our own men; indeed they might be o? own fellows. They have the ' ?? ** WL TKA.. same siuray seii-muuu iuv?. spread themselves over country In the fashion of men accustomed to vast spaces. They walk with the same easy free-limbed carriage. Their discipline, like ours is a thing which force could never impose or maintain, but is rather contributed voluntarily to a common good in violation of temperament and upbringing. "Against these men, as against the men of the British empire, the Germans have no chance." W "Oh. Harry, you're always getting twisted. Here I send you for crackers and you bring back pretsels." ^firing for tbe Soldier; Clover Red Cross NotesWhile the work of our chapter ma: not l>e claused as brilliant, niveithe less substantial progress ha- beei inade.

GIANT GERMAN GUNS Once 15 Inch Calibre Reduced to 91* Inches. The giant German guns now drop ping shells on Paris from a distance c seventy-live miles, are 15-inch navt guns, taken from the Buitleship Hin denburg and fitted with inner tube: which reduce the caliber to 9 1-2 in ches, it was learned from ordance ei perts of the United States army, wh have been making a close study of th guns and their effects. The officials confidently believe thfi very soon the Germans will be usin guns along the Western front that wi have a range of 100 miles or more. The guns were dismounted from th battleship during the winter and rt turned to a naval gun foundry, wher they were expanded by heat and th inner tubes inserted. As the gun cool it shrinks and grips the inner tube an holds it in place, notwithstanding th tremendous pressure of the powde charge. The shell fired from this gun weigh about 200 pounds. Although it has diameter of only 9 1-2 inches It is pre jeeted with all the force of a 15-inc charge. This is accomplished by leaving th powder chamber intact fifteen incht in diameter. The powder UBed is th usual smokeless kind used in navs warfare. With this supercharge of powde operating on the smuller shell, th muzzle velocity of 6,000 feet per set ond is attained. The greatest veloclt obtained in a six-inch naval gun i 2,700 feet, and in a fourteen-inch gu on an American battleship the veloclt is 2..100 feet a second. Additional muzzle velocity for th German gun is obtained by extendin the inner tube of the fifteen-inch outc jacket. The guns bombarding Paris are fire at an angle of 45 degrees. The shell rise to a height of between twenty-flv and thirty miles, or between 130.00 and 1.18,000 feet, a stupendous fligh vastly exceeding any excursion here tofurc made by mundane material int the aerial regions. The time consumed from muzzle t target is between one and one-half an two minutes, traveling, say, twenty-flv miles high and seventy-five miles b straight line. They believe also that the German are building eighteen-inch or twenty ineh guns with inner tubes keducin Ut - allbrr-;a nine ar. i in ehes. These guns would ha*? a rang of 100 miles, or even more. The Get mans have boasted for many month that they would Domoara urms shores from across the channel a the feat is now seen to be both pos slble and probable. It remains a fea however, and nothing more. It Is nc a menace In a military sense. The Germans hope to invade fing land with the help of big guns poste on shore and on heavy barges lloate down from the Belgian coast. Thel idea is to gain a foothold ut some cor venient point like Calais or Dunkir and then by running out lines c barges carrying 14-Inch howitzers t stand off the British fleet. Thus lane would be opened for the passag of German troops. British naval ol fleers smile at this plan, and exprei a wish that it be attempted. The suggest that their swiftly-movln battle-orulsers with 15-lnch guns woul soon dispose of the German line o barges and any German troop ship that might appear. $200,000,000 IN THE POT Big Job to Melt up Silver Coins Int Bullion. The greatest melting of coins eve seen In the world will soon be mad at the mint in Philadelphia, if th treasury carries out an idea that I has now In mind. The plan is to put 200,000,000 silve dollars Into the pot and thus convei them Into bullion, to be used for pa) ing trade balances and incldentall for supplying Japan, British India an China with metal they sorely nee for their own coinage. A cartwheel dollar Is one-tenth cop per and the remainder silver. There I a little more than five-sixths of a ounce of silver In It, troy weight. By a little figuring you can ascer tain for yourself that the silver 1 200,000.000 standard dollars woul weigh more than 11,500,000 pound avoirdupois, or 5,787 short ton Melted, It wduld make a sizable lak< on which but for the uncomportablc ness of the heat one might get a lot ( exercise by rowing about In a plat num boat lined with asbestos. i nc loiai silver uuipui ui nic > of the United States in 1917 was 74 244,500 ounces?a vast quantity cei tuinly, yet not nearly half the contet of the coins which it is now-propose to melt For a great many years these 200 000,000 silver dollars, and u whole 1< more Itke them, have been stored 1 the treasury vaults at Washingtoi in the Philadelphia mint and els< where.

KATMAI Strufe Valley of Tea Thousand r. Smokes. " VISITORS ARE LOST IN MYSTERY r : ' Party of Explorers Get Into a Country >( The Like Of Which None Of Them f Had Ever Seen Before, And Find 0 Worm Fires In The Midst Of A 11 Freezing Latitude. ! The Valley of Ten Thousand - Smokes," the great safety valve of 1 r Alaska's wonderful volcanic, Mt. Kat- 1 h inai, Is one of the greatest wonders of 1 '' the world, if not indeed the very great r estof ail the wonders on the face of the earth, declared K. K. tlriggs, leader, of the National Geographic Society's 1S>15, lyitf and 191? Mt. Katmai expeditious, in his report to the society on the re2 suit of his investigations. "The valley cannot be described," continues the Griggs" report, a part of ^ which is issued by the society as a bulletin released to the press recently. l" "Only after one has spent many days within its confines does one begin to grasp the proportions. "The sensation of wonder and ad0 miration, which came first to all our e party, soon gave way to one of stupefaction. The magnitude of the Lt phenomena simply overcame us. As ? we moved to any corner of the valley, what we had supposed from a distance to be little fumaroles turned 6 out monster vents, each group more wonderful a spectacle than the whole, 6 seen in panorama, so inconceivably e vast is thu volcanic region. 9 "No amount of experience seemed sufficient to enable us to grasp proe portions of this enormous safety!r valve. "For the first few days we were 19 over-awed. For a while we simply a could not think or act in the ordinary way. At night 1 would curse myself. h as I lay In my blankets, and make a list of the things I wanted to do the e next day; but when the morning came ( * I could not move myself to action. I ie could only look and gape. ^ "As we explored the margin of the valley (the worst place, as we *r afterward found), wc could plainly ' e hear the ground ring hollow beneath ' the tunks of our staffs, and more ^ than once we felt it shake beneath ( ls our blows. What If the ground should " suddenly give way beneam our ieei y and precipitate us into a streaming caldron? e "A breath of the stream from a vent g (down around us for a moment by a 1 '' chance breeze gave an uncomfortable burn. We knew that if once a man . ^ fell into such a place he would be '8 instantly parboiled. e "At first we roped up as for moun0 tain climbing and spread out, so 1 l' that if one man went through, the 1 '* others could pull him out But when 1 0 we came better to realize the condi- 1 dion, wo discarded the ropes, for 0 we decided that if a man once got in ^ it would be moro merciful to leave e him than to attempt to pull him out. ! ' "We had been assured by the best authority that there could be no dan- ' 18 ger from the fumes, but I had brought along a chemist partly for the exg press purpose of warning us as to ^ what wag not 1 knew thtt-vafc 4 8 ley to be different from every other ' place in the world, and reasoned that ' 8 there could be no real basis for 1 ^ the assurances given me. What I d feared was carbon monoxide, that col- I orless, odorless, tasteless gas, deadly ^ even in concentrations as small as I five parts in 10,000. It is usually pre- 1 sent in the emanations from volca- ' " noes. There is, moreover, no simple I ^ chemical test by whi?h its presence ' ^ may be detached. W'.iat If we should I r get a dose of that oefore we were 1 aware of the danger? k "But, like practically all the buga- ' boos which one meets In this world, 0 these were proved by experience to 1 a bo much less dangerous than our ' e imaginations had pictured. Expert- 1 * ence showed that there was always 1 18 plenty of air to breathe, and we found 1 y no insidious gases likely to strike ! g one down without warning, for our ' '' noses gave us abundant notice of ' dangerous places, so that we suffer- ' 18 ed no injury beyond slight headaches 1 and temporary inconvenience. "So also with the cave-ins. As we grew familiar with the conditions we built up a basis of experience that soon enaoiea us 10 pick our way with some decree of safety. The der posits brought up by the fumaroles ? themselves so encrust their throats e and the ground round about that a It thin roof over a cavern will support a man with safety. fr "The worst places were those where t fissures had been bridged over by ' ' ash and mud, so as to leave nothing y to indicate their presence. After we 1 d had been in the valley several days <1 we had some experiences with such ? places that probably would have turn> cd us back had they occurred when 1 I? we first arrived. n "Several times, when we accident- 1 ally put a foot through a thin place in the crust, steam came spouting out n of the hole, forming a new fumarole. d But It was always one foot only and 1? the owner did not take long to get a- out. 8. "Once, while walking across a place >- that looked perfectly solid, I noticed >f a new hole midway between the old I- fissures and on Investigating found that a steaming fissure two feet wide is and ten feet deep was roofed over for fifty feet by a layer of mud so thin r- that I could perforate it anywhere by it a slight thrust with my Ice-ax. ^ "Uu? attrth oy rvarionPQfl mnlfllv |pd us to perfect a sort of technique like that of the mountain-climber, which >t enabled us to choose the safest n paths.

"In many places the valley round ts about the vents is covered with a pert culiar blue mud. thinly coated with a n chestnut-brown crust, which someI times gives way suddenly, letting one >f down to his' shoe tops in the soft, y, scalding mud beneath. At such times ip one is apt to feel that his feet are w taking hold on hell in very verity, is particularly if the place happens to look "ticklish" otherwise.
