WITH THE AMKMCAX ARMY IX
FRANCE, June 0. (By the Associat
ed Prt'ss.) Two American lieuten
ants, both from l'ittsbnrj;, played
I'd conspicuous parts in stemming the
Gernuin advance along tlio Marne.
Lieutenant Walter R. Flannery was
pi the first American decorated with the
French war cross for participation in
the present battle. Lieutenant' John
T. Hissell, a West Point graduate,
commanding two machine gun units,
was the first American to cross, to
the north of the Marne during the
fighting.
Lieutenant Flannery volunteered to
Mvira the Marne Monday night to res
cue a wounded Frenchman who had
hcen cut off and made prisoner hy
the Germans, but hud escaped. The
Frenchman crept to the north bank
of the river in the afternoon and sig-
called to the Americans, lie was
told to hide in u certain spot until
nightfall.
Tying a rope around himself, Flan
ncry swam to the rescue while ene
my bullets flew all around him and
brought back the wounded French
man. This afternoon French anil
American soldiers lined up while the
lieutenants were decorated with the
i war cross, while cannons boomed and
enemy aircraft flew overhead.
Lieutenant Hissell has been cited
for the French war cross. At the
height of the fighting the Germans
hnd captured Hill lill-i and were
sweeping the river front with their
fire. Hissell and his men were in an
isolated position and their retreat to
the southern bank of the river had
been cut off by allied guns which
vere sweeping a nearby bridge. Af
ter he had held up the German ad
vance for 24 hours, Hissell signalled
his comrades to cease firing. He and
liis men then re-crossed the bridge
and saved themselves and 1100
Frenchmen, who also had been cut
off. .
The bridge was then blown up.
AMERICAN SEAPLANE TRAIN
ING CAMP, Italy, . May l.'. "The
watchwords of this camp are effi
ciency, friendship, victory,'' remark
ed the American commander as he
stood on the beach of the Make di
recting the afternoon's flying. "Tin
efficiency is for our bovs, the friend
ship for our friends the Italians, and
lh victory is the destruction of the
enemy," he explained.
If anything, the work in a training
ciunp hero is apt to be harder than
in a similar camp lit home. In addi
tion to the usual routine of flying
and studying, the students must learn
French and Italian or both, to know
the names of machine parts, techni
cal terms, and to know how to find
their wny i'.bout.
The aviators have found (hat they
must know a good many phrases and
sentences it' they would understand
the Italian mechanics, motor drivers
and aviators. So the Americans al
ready have begun studying Italian as
a sideline to their many other studies.
.Most of them know the meaning ol
a long list of words employed for
taking off, banking, turning, gliding,
diving, snaking and landing.
A good deal of Italian has been
picked up by the aviators right in the
village where the people are very
friendly and do not laugh at the weird
expressions used by the Americans,
whom they have adopted as their very
own. ' The younger aviators, whose
ears are keener, have the advantage
in learning the language and they find
it comes in handy at the mess tables.
The mess of the entire camp is lo
cated in a fine old middle age place.
The entire kitchen and first floor has
been turned over to them, and there
they net surrounded by frescoed walls
and ceilings typical of an Italy ot
other days. The mess is overseen
hv a chef formerly with the Duke
'Ahruzzi and the" Americans are said
to be among the best fed soldiers in
Italy all for fvl cents a day.
Tlie aviators repay the chef, Con
sotino, by teaching him American
slang.

LONDON, June i. Ileal diamond

connection with the annual lecturr
before the Iirilish Institute of Mcd
alc. The speaker, Sir Charles A
Parsons, who is widely known for
his work in developing the turbine
engine, told of experiments which
showed that diamonds exist in iron.
The diamonds displayed were few
nnd small, and it was staled that they
were produced at enormous cost
Only the resources of a great en
gineering works made the experiment.
possible. However, the lecturer be
lieved that with the advance of chem
istry and electrical engineering, it
might some day be cheaper to make
diamonds than dig them.
A method of making diamonds of
commercial size anil quantity was
suggested by Sir Charles. His plan
was to submit a large muss ot iron
alloyed with other elements, to heat
After the molten metal had set, but
when still at a temperature permeable
to gas, it should be subjected lo car
bon monoxide at a pressure of about
1,(100 atmospheres. Under this pro

slowly within the mass.
One source of diamonds might be
nltiibiiated, be said, to prehistoric
falls of meteors.

"When tho I'nltcd States under

Why is it that United States Tires are
setting new records for mileage and
serviceability ?
Why is it that the sales of these tires
are constantly mounting by leaps and
bounds ?
The answer is found in the factories
where United States Tires are made.
Standards of construction for these
tires are higher than ever before known
in the tire industry.
Makers of tire fabrics tell us that the
standards we have given them for
United States Tire fabrics are higher
than any previously known.
Likewise through every process of
construction from crude rubber to fin
ished tires we have set new and higher
standards everywhere.
These standards work out on your
car in the practical economy demanded
by war-times.
United States Tires will raise any car
to higher efficiency. There is a type to
suit every condition of service.
