GAMEST IN THE WORLD i

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."

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. They take up an immense dei
of valuable room and, inasmuch t
they are not wanted for actual clrct
lation, it would be a blessing to g<
rid of them somehow.
Three years ago silver reached II
lowest market price in the history <
the metal, being quoted at less tha
52 cents an ounce. A standard do
lar had then an intrinsic value <
only 42 cents. It was the time to bu;
for since then the stuff has gone u
like a skyrocket The price is no
91 cents and a cartwheel dollar
worth 72 1-2 cents as mere bullion.
An ounce of silver will make $1-3
worth of silver dollars. Thus Unci
Sam will still come out ahead if 1
agrees, as he seems likely to do, 1
take the country's entire output <
the metal for the next yea> or two 4
a flat price of 91 an ounce.?popub

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.

us to perfect a sort of technique like
that of the mountain-climber, which
>t enabled us to choose the safest
n paths. Moreover, the first trip over
n, the ground was the most dangeri
ou8. After one man bad explored
U any area in safety, there was no
ts probability of accident to those who
I- followed. - ?

"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. We were
19 surprised to find that continuous fmle
mereion of our feet in such places did
ie our shoes no perceptible Injury, for
to we had expected that the} would be

it "We chose our camp well up on the
ir mountain side overlooking the valley,

t minimum of which is six feet,
e "They begin where other men stop
f growing." according to a popular sayr
ing. Many of them are even seven
p feet in height. They are chosen from
the carabinieri or military police and
- must have absolutely unstained re- '
j cords. Each newly enrolled man. if
r he acc- pts the appointment, must "
. agree to remain for a term of five J
s years, in the guard, after which he
? may or may not re-enlist. During ;
that period, also, he may not marry.

Here, although we were denied thi
pleasure of a camp-fire, for not & sticl
cf wood remains anywhere In thi
valley, we had 'all the comforts o
home.' Fifty yards behind us was ou

which we hung our pots to cook ou
food. We were somewhat dubious be
forehand us to the feasibility of thi
method of cooking, because of th
noxious gases that came off alonj
with the steam; but the results wen
more than satisfactory. We nevei
Jeteeted the faintest taint in any o
jur food. Everything was alwayi
done exactly right. Since the pot
were surrounded by an atmosphere o
live steam, just at the point of con
densing, nothing ever boiled away
cooked to pieces, or burned, no mat
ter how long neglected or forgotten.

"When we turned in the first night
we were astonished to find that th'
ground under our tent was decidedl;
warm, (in examination we found tha
a thermometer thrust 6 inches int<
the ground promptly rose to bollini
point. This was indeed a surprise
for the place only recently had beei
vacated by the retreating anowbanl
behind us.
"We put most of our bedding unde
us to keep us cool!
"But before long our blanket
were as hot as the ground. Close t(
the snowdrift as we were, and at ai
altitude of about 2,500 feet, the ai
was at times quite cold; so whil
we steamed on one side we froze oi
the other. We had to keep turnlm
over and over in the effort to equal
ize the temperature."
