BRITISH BOM
HUN GAS PLANTS
AND GUN SHOPS
London. Oct. 25 (Correspondence
.f the Associated Press) The Bad
lsche poison gas plant at Mannheim,
in the Rhine valley, is a favorite ob-
i Ject for "strafing" by the British air
men. Three consecutive raids upon it
by night have extensively damaged
it. The raiders' bombs partly destroy
ed the sulphuric acid and nitric vit
riol factory and the aniline depart
ment. Other buildings of the plant
were wrecked.
The other factories at Mannheim
have been heavily bombed eleven
time.
A heavy death roll has attended
numerous air attacks on Cologne and
Coblentz where the Germans are be
ing heavily repaid in their own coin
for their murderous work on London
and Paris. The factories and railway
station at Saarbrucken have
Karlsruhe five times; Frankforton-
the-Rhine, three times; Stuttgert, and
Zwesbrucken, twice.
Most of the air. attacks In the
Rhine provinces have been directed
against the key railway centers, nota
bly those at Thionville and Metz
Sablon. The famous railway triangle
at Metz-Sablon and the junction at
Thionville have been raided 46 times.
Photographs taken by the attacking
airmen confirm the extent and magni
tude of th? damage done.
War tuffic through Metz-Sablon
has been materially reduced as a re
sult of the frequent raids at a time
when quick and regular transport of
munitions was vital to Germany's
military needs.
The big industrial centers on the
Ehlne contain, in addition to import
ant railway Junctions, some of tho
largest munition, poison gas and elec
trical plants in Western Germany.
These military objectives have been
attacked repeatedly with marked ef
fect.

American Soldier
Impresses French
Behind the Lines in France, Oct. 25
The American soldier is a source of
continued interest to the troops of
the other nations with whom he is
fighting side by side, and to the people
of France. They have been vastly
impressed by the wholehearted" way
in which he carries out his duties. On
parade and on them arch he regards
his work with the utmost seriousness,
and every American column that
passes leaves an impression of set,
resolute faces very different from the
nonchalant attitude of the British
Tommy. In his moment of repose
the "Tank," as he is called every
where ln France, looks for a building
with a short flight of steps to the door,
foregathers there with his friends,
and eats nuts and chocolates in prod
igious quantities.
Of an evening the "Tanks' " regi
mental band plays to him. The se
lections are not "uplift stuff," but
they cheer the tired soldier amazing
ly. Perhaps a couple of soldiers will
jump up and do a one-step together
up and down the sidewalk.
Washington, Oct. 25 Crosi-coun-try
operation of mail carrying motor
trucks, tried out by the postofflce de
partment on an experimental but
nevertheless big scale, during the last
year, has been a great success. James
I. Blakslee, fourth assistant post
master general, has found that one
truck route between Philadelphia and
Washington, cutting chiefly through
territory without direct rail connec
tion and costing $800 a month to op
erate, has in eight months developed
a revenue of. $16,000 monthly. An
other route, into Washington, where
28 parcels a day were moved during
the first month, now shows one ton of
traffic each way each 24 hours.
Seventy lines now operate over the
country, all but one east of the Mis
sissippi, and there are visions of a
system which will furnish $360,000,
000 annually in revenue for road con
struction or other purposes.
"Why, General Pershing has 9,000
trucks damaged or ruined over on
the other side," said Mr. Blakeslee,
telling of the growth of the system.
"I don't care what condition they
are in. We want them all, and can
fix up and put every one of them to
work. What's even more important.
he's got some boys over there shy a
hand, or an arm, or a leg, and we can
use them all, too, in good work at
good pay, that they can do. Con
gress gave us $300;000 to work with,
and if we had the earnings of the liies
themselves, we could expand almost
indefinitely. As it is, $9,000,00.0 will
be requested by the division for next
year, and I think it will be appro
priated. People realize what we are
doing.
"Operating at night is the most
profitable, and we have but two ma
chines doing that, out of New Tork
The typical route is about 180 miles
long, 90 miles out, and 90 miles
back.
"Almost always the constant opera
tion of the lines produces a return
load, the universal character of the
mail service allowing almost any
thing to be taken. The mail trucks
go, come rain, storm, or anything, and
so the traffic develops. Rates are
also pretty high, the lowest being
about $20 a ton. That is what makes
the surplus revenues.
Need Concrete Roads.
"Of course, we'll have to have con
crete roads, but the business can pro
duce the money to build them. There
are some economies in distribution of
produce that are simply amazing. It
has added an entirely new factor to
transcontinental transportation, and
we shall just begin finding it out
when more extensive operation goes
into effect during the next two years."
Just why Mr. Blakeslee sees it th-it
way can be understood from just one
commodity price list. Milk retails
now in Washington at 17 cents a
quart. Milk is coming in on mail
trucks direct to consumers for 10
cents a quart. Naturally the trucks
are being weighed down with five-
gallon cans as consumers learn of the
possibility. The trucks tap milk
producing territory, outside the usual
hauling lines, and off the -ail arter
ies.
"Where'll the roads come from to
run 9,000 trucks?" he asks. "Well,
there are 66,000 rural mail and star
routes being operated in the United
States now. Sometimes I think ev
eryone of them would make a truck
line. Food is being handled 10 times
on its wav to a consumer. We can
cut that to five.
"Watching these figures, since De
cerniber, when we started, has given
me a new sort of inspiration. We
shall be moving the mails and mails
will include a whole unexpected var
iety of things In new modes before
the' -generation finishes. Airplanes

CATHOLIC PRIEST
IS U. S. PRIVATE
1 j
I Whv Cons h and
Paris, Oct. 25 To Rev. Father
Alphonse Biskup, curate of Marie
Celle church, Chicago, has fallen the
honor of being probably the first
Catholic priest fror.. the United States
to serve in the ranks of the Allies as
a private. The Rev. Father Biskup is
now "Private" Biskup cl the Czecho
slovak Legion and has taken part in
several engagements with the Boche.
When the United States ehtered the
v.ac the Rev. Father Biskup tried to
enlist in the United States army as a
regular chaplain and when he failed
in that effort he enrolled aa a volun
teer with the Knights of Columbus
and landed in France as a volunteer
chaplain. As his parents are of
Czech nativity, although American
citizens, he tried to get in the
Czechoslovak Legion here but found
he could not do so as as a Knights
of -olumbus chaplain because .the
Czechs are serving as part of the
French forces. He obtained permis
sion from the Knights to enlist in the
Czech Legion and at once did so.
"Private" Biskup, when he visited
the headquarters of the Knights of
Columbus in this city the other day
to obtain supplies for the men of his
regiment, told of the joy with which
the Czecho-Slovaks received the news
that the United States had recognized
their independence. "It gave those
men new spirit. I have been with
them in several engagements and
they have proved fine fighters, but
they are going to be even better now,
for they - are fighting for something
very dear to all xnen of the Czech
race," he said.
Y. M. C. A. BRINGS
COMFORT TO MEN
An American doughboy, asked to
tell what, during the fighting at Chateau-Thierry,
in which he participated
impressed him most, thought deeply
a moment and then answered:
"I was flabergasted of course by
the rain of Hun machine gun bullets,
and was surprised when I turned over
what I supposed was a dead Hun
and found he was only playing
possum, and I was somewhat ex
cited when I tumbled Into a pit on
top of two dead German snipers, but
the climax of it all came just as we
had finished mopping up the town
from which we had just driven the
Huns.
"I wag faint with hunger, and
thirst, and was wondering how long
it would be before i' could find the
"makings" when what should come
along but a Y. M. C. A. truck with hot
chocolate, coffee and best of all cig
arettes! "My first hot bite, hot drink and
a real smoke after the smash at Chateau-Thierry
I never will forget
'em."
CHINESE DO GOOD
WORK FOR ALLIES
London, Oct. 26 The Allies have
employed 50,000 Chinese behind the
fighting lines in France principally
for road and railway building, black
smith and carpentry work. Although
China declared war on the Central
Powers almost a year ago the Chinese
are made to understaand when trans
ported to France they will not be us
