WENT OVER THE TOP NINETEE NTIMES ???mm (Continued from page 2, column 3.) sure enough. The night we got in the trenches I was sent with three ^squads to hold an outpost. I held the outpost for four days under continuous shel fire and uring that time we were under eight barrages. It j was awful. We were cut off from the front line and cWldn't get but very Uttle rations and water. We did the West we could though and on the night of September 28 relief came. We then went back in resrve and g waited. We knew the show was not oyer yet, for we found hundreds of tanks back there. We slept all that gay and eat and drank hot coffee. About night the tanks started pulling off. Next morning the Hinden** burg line was 'taken. We were in reserve still. The next night we Went back in suport. I was sent off next morning to Peronne to get billets for the company. We hardly got there before we were sent back to the front. Here I lost recollection of the days and the dates. Over the Top 19 Times. "Our company was in the front line twenty-six days on that trip. We went over twenty-three times. I f t '/ have been over the top nineteen ? times. I don't know what day it ^ was but we went over one morning and had been fighting all day long. We had advanced many miles but I don't know how far. It was late in the afternoon and the Germans had us held up. I was laying down in a ditch getting cover from the machine gun bullets when a gas shell burst, right beside me, and I got a belly full. I went from there to a first aid and was put in an ambulance and sent back. I don't know 4 where it was for I slept most of the time. I was sent from there to a hospital in Rouan. I was sent from there to a replacement camp at Ew, and from there to my company, which was then at Warlay. We left War^ lay last Friday and came to this place which is Le Guriche, near Le " v fj. i i Mans. 1 UUIl L KUOW 1IUW llNlg we will be here, but I hope it will be until we start home.

Your devoted son "BROOKS." > % VOICE FROM AIR IN RADIOPHONE FLYING MAN NO LONGER ISOLATED. May Talk To People On the Ground Can Call for Help, Ask About Landings and Send Information He Has. Washington, Jan. 18.?The great development of non military flying which is now beginning in the United States, will in all probability be PTAntlv stimulated hv that newest of aerial inventions?the radiophone. No longer is the flying man a being cut off from the rest of mankind by distance and the noise of his roaring motors. It is now possible for him to converse with persons on the ground or in other airplanes even when they are miles away. He may call for help, ask about landing conditions below, send back information about the weather. In that national system of landing fields which is the dream of all constructive minded aviators and which the army fliers are now beginning to outline, this radiophone will play a part* the importance of which can scarcely be exaggerated. For it means that passenger and mail planes will be in almost continuous tbuch with ground stations. The military value of the radiophone is even more obvious, and indeed was demonstrated in France before the armistice was signed and before the secret of the wireless telephone was revealed to the public. The great value of the radiophone in military flying, of course, is that it enables great squadrons of planes to act in perfect unison under a commander. When 18 planes going at a rate of 130 miles an hour dip or turn, or rock like one machine in perfect response to an order given by their leader in a machine two miles above theoi, and the order is simultaneously audible to a man at the aerial station 6.000 feet below the lowest plane, one must admit that there is a new wonder of the world. There is something quite uncanny in the whole proceeding to the nonscientific listener and onlooker who is at the ground aerial station. It is proof of the perfection of the wireless telephone that in all the tests and drills which have been held, an order from a commanding officer has never been misunderstood by a man under his command, and no accidents have occurred to machines under tire control of this new and powerful instrument. This is a great satisfaction in itself, and it also shows the splendid discipline and faith of an American aviator. As the airplanes, when in battle formation, fly very close to each other, the slightest misunderstanding or disobedience on the part of an airman would quite likely mean the collision of two planes and the probable death of both pilots. When in battle this invention enables the commander of a fleet of planes so to maneuver as completely to surround enemy planes hidden in clouds, and sometimes even those in the open. On the training field, the wireless telephone saves skilled pilots from unnecessary risks while directing and correcting their pupils. The instructor on the ground is enabled by this device to make his commands perfectly audible to the pupil in the air without risking his life in the hands of a recruit. Moreover, it has been proven beyond a doubt that the wireless telephone is of supreme value in directing air gunners and bombers. Chief credit for the invention is given to Col. Clarence C. Culver, of the department of military arenautics and Col. Samuel Rees of the royal flying corps. The idea first took definite shape when these two officials were on duty at the international aviation tournament at Belmont Park in the fall of 1910. Earlier that same year Colonel Culver and Capt.! H. M. Horton had established radiotelegraph communication from a flying airplane to an aerial station at Sheepshead Bay, New York. Captain Horton is credited with having built Al i ? lue irau&Luiiiiug sci auu v/uiuuci vur ver, the receiving set. It was six years later that the first message was transmitted from one airplane in flight to another on September 2, 1916. Colonel Culver continued his inventive work, and early the next year a radiotelephone trial was held, which resulted in the first transmission of the human voice from an airplane to the ground. Then, in May, 1917, Gen. George O. Squire, chief signal officer, led a conference which included Colonel Rees, Colonel Culver and Dr. F. B. Jewett, of the Western Electric Company. Later, master telephone engineers were called into the conference and the following fall Colonel Culver carried 1 sample receivers and transmitters abroad with him for trial work in i France, which proved very successful. ' Since February, 1918, American airplanes here and abroad have been fully equipped with wireless telephone apparatus. Ever since the successful completion of this invention the secret has been wonderfully well kept, and it has been asserted by government officials that although German airmen were cognizant of the fact that the Americans had some unusual method, of communication, they were entirely ignorant of the exact nature of that method. The flyers of Great Britain and France have attempted the use of the wireless telephone. The former met with better success that the latter, but the most marked success has come to American aviators. Both the receiving and transmit- ' ting sets for wireless telephoning are very simple and compact in appearance. Moreover, they do not attract attention when in place on a machine. With the consent of Gen. Kenly, Colonel Culver has given out the following information concerning the mechanism of the radiophone. "The transmitting set consists of a power plant, a set box, a transmitter or microphone and an antenna system. The power plant consists of a generator driven on the windmill principle by the passage of the airplane through the air. It is placed somewhere in the open?usually on the running gear or one of the wings, and its tiny propeller blades whirls vigorously as the airplane travels along. "The socalled set box receives the power from the generator, converts it and places it on the aerials in the form of sustained, or undampened waves. The voice entering the transmitter varies the electric current on the wires which are connected as in the ordinary telephone. In the set box the variations received from the transmitter are converted and act to effect a modulation of the continuous or undampened waves already referred to. "The receiving set consists of s. receiving set box, a head receiver, a source of power and an antenna system. The latter is the same as the antenna system in the transmitting: set. The source of power is a small storage battery. The head receiver is built into the aviator's helmet in such a manner as to exclude sounds, from reaching the pilot's ear and interferring with his hearing. The set box nroper contains apparatus quite similar to the receiving apparatus of a fir*t class wireless station. However, it possesses a number of refinements over these which increase the audibility of incoming signals, withstand vibration and minimize weight."
