It seems to me that this task of min

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

and other local groups and organiza

"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.

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

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.
