NEWS ABOVE at the left is seen the wreck of a German sea-raider that has shot its last torpedo at any enemy or neutral vessel. The sub marine was stranded on, the beach near Calais. Before abandoning their craft, the Germans set a fuse to blow it up. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Jr. and Major General J. Franklin Bell are seen above in the center while inspecting the officers' hostess house at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I. French trench torpedoes are seen above at the right. These pow erful missies are fired from specially designed guns and they are much more effective than machine gunfire, hand grenades or shrapnel. In a powerful blow recently struck at the Austrian forces by General Cadorna's armies, a great many prisoners were taken, some of which are shown below at the left. Lieutenant William Thaw has been named to succeed Captain The nault as chief of the famous Lafayette escadrille, composed of American airmen in France. The memorial to the late president, William McKinley, at his birth place, Niles, Ohio, was dedicated by impressive ceremonies, featured by an address by ex-President Taft. The memorial is an imposing granite structure erected at a cost of more than 1500,000. . Below at the right is a specially posed photograph of the new French ministry recently completed by M.

A., and It seems to me that this task of min istering to the social needs of the sol diers has been met fully. In a way wnich win not needlessly complicate the machinery of camp organization. .Ljcperience has shown that the in stinctive desire of a soldier with an hour of freedom is to 'go to town."' if the town is only a crossroads. For this reason the commission on training camp activities, with my approval and under my direction, has given a great deal of time and thought to the task of organizing these towns and cltif-s along recreational, lines. "Local committees have been ap pointed and an attempt made to har ness Mp the lodges, churches, clubs and other local groups and organiza tions with the men in camp." "Three dollars for each soldier aad sailor" is the slogan adopted for the eight weeks' campaign of the commis sion on training camp activities, which has enlisted the approval of President Wilson. If the object sought Is alized, the fund raised will be $3,750,000. Different methods will be pursun-i. at different camps, depending upon the size fcnd recreational opportunities f the tpwn or city near the cantonment. In one western camp, it Is state 1, where the population of the town is less than 5000 and the full capac'ty of the parks, movies and .public places is only 3000.

Of the 950 registrants here, it has been found that 700 are aJiens who are exempt from military service. Practically every physically fit American will be taken In the first national army. American Phone System in France American Field Headquarters in France, Oct. 20. (U. P.) An all-Amer-ican telephone system', in France is completed and In working order today-. American Sammies built every bit of it from the switchboards to the stringing of the wires and the plant ing of the poles. The system makes every Inch of the American head quarters completely accessible and extends even further. Salvation Army workers are actively on the Job.

French Expenditure, of Shells Averages a Million a Day and Will Go Higher, With the French Armies at the Front. Oct. 20. (U.P.) For the first time in the world's history bat tles are being fought today on the French front where the number of ar tillerymen, "preparing" the attack equals and often exceeds the num ber of infantrymen in the assault. "Artillery preparation" today means perhaps a million shells a day a rec ord frequently reached in recent French offensive attacks. Warfare of Material Such concentration of artillerymen and of shells is the greatest develop ment yet reached in the "warfare of material." It Is the basis on which American troops will participate. When American infantrymen eventually are called upon to "go over" It should be after artillery preparation possibly not of a million, but of two million shells a day. Already this new massing of artil lery has been developed by the French to a point where the material exceeds the wildest imagination of three years ago. - : Millions of Shells Used In the April offensive ; along the Aisne and Moronvilliers crest, the A? 1 SACRiFlf MATERIAL French fired day after day, an average of a million shells a day. Had the United States been in a position at that time to furnish France with one million shells a day indefinitely, the war might have been over by now. Comparative figures show this great' artillery development. In the German assault on Verdun last year the enemy seldom was able to fire over 200,000 shells a day. In the French attack on Verdun, August 20, the maximum of 400,000 a day was reached. For the French portion of the Fland ers attack in July, if all guns used had been placed side by side instead of in successive rows, they would have been too close together for safety In firing. Fetaln Saves Men , It Is General Petain's philosophy that no military commander now has the right - to send human breasts against material. In -gigantic attacks during the sum mer in Flanders, on the Aisne, against Moronvilliers and Verdun regiments of French troops have captured pre fixed objectives without a single sol dier killed. The tremendous artillery preparation permitted it. If America supports her infantry with " an artillery program equal in every way to that which the French have developed and are now .develop ing to even a greater degree -she can count not only on victory, but victory at a cost of life than will be pro portionately smaller as her material preparation is greater. 600 U.-W. Students In Military Service Seattle. Wash., Oct. 20. Six hundred men from the University of Washing ton have gone to war. according to present estimate. Many of 'the frater. nlty houses have been closed because so large a number of their members have enlisted.. Service flags, some with as high as 16 stars to a flag, are OCTOBER 21, 1917. o KEW. FEBNOHL furled from the houses that are open: and as the need becomes more and more urgent, many more stars will be won by new enlistments. Two thousand two hundred seventy eight Btudnts are enrolled at the uni versity. Last year 54 per cent of stu dents were men. This year war has reduced the proportion of men to 42. Throughout the country college en rollment has fallen off from 15 to 23 per cent. No Hot Water Baths Copenhagen, Oct. 20.

A. at Camp Lewis, spent the last week end in Portland with .his family. - The first edition of the Quest was issued this week, much to the relief of all concerned.
