PEACING DE LUX WITH I PLANES TO CAKKx
PRESIDENT WILSON I FOOD IN FRANCE
W.
(Continual from pase 1)
The Italian king's imperial train, in
which the President rode to Italy, has
very narrow aisles. The waiters
aboard were footmen and other ser
vants from the royal palace all un
usually large men. They couldn't pass
in the aisles and there being no switch
es within the train itself, there was
much difficulty with the traffic.

Mounting the imperial staircase of
the king's palace in Rome, one passes
a guard of enormous men one man on
each step of a long $ight each man
dressed rn white kid trousers, black
boots, wearing silver armored corslet
and gold helmets. Standing motionless
with axes in their hands, they looked
like statues. They are giants, careful
ly selected from northern Italy.

d:stii ct'.on of having been enter
a::ud at the royal palaces of England
rnd Italy and made the recipient of
roral gifts. She has broaches bearing
the imperial coat of arms of both Brit
ish and Italian royalty and probably
is the proudest American negress.
En route to France from Italy, Pres
ident .Wilson's physical energies were
devoted to saluting crowds and open
ing and closing his windows as the
train pulled in and out of smoke-filled
tunnels. He vibrated like a tuning
fork between the platform for greet
ing and his room or comfort.

By HENRY "WOOD
United Press Staff Corresponent
Paris (By Mail) The French gov
ernment has decided to install an air
plane service to feed inhabitants of
the redeemed districts of northern
France until railways destroyed by
the Germans in their retreat can be
restored.
With 200 airplanes at least 200,000
people of the stricken provinces can be
led daily, it is believed this number of
planes could carqy 100,000 pounds of
flour, 10,000 pounds of sugar, 10,000
pounds of butter, 30,000 pounds of veg
etables and 10,000 pounds of condens
ed food.
While this will be the most gigantic
scale on which airplanes have been
used for feeding a country, yet the
system is not entirely new.
During the war it was successfully
used by the British in carrying food
to their troops in Mesopotamia, Pal
estine and Macedonia. In November,
1917, during the French offensive
against the Chemin des Dames, it was
used by the Germans. A detachment
of their troops, completely encircled,
was kept supplied with food hi? air
planes that dropped baskets contain
ing bread, kraut, canned meat and
other supplies.
Still later, during the Italian offen
sive on the Piave, Lord Cavan, in
charge of the 3rd army fearing that
after his detachments got across the
river, the bridges might be blown up
and the troops cut off from supplies,
arranged to feed them by airplanes. In
j this case it was planned to drop the
: packages of food by means of small
parachutes let loose from the air
; planes. Although every preparation
; was made to this end, the English and
Italians were fortunately able to keep
the bridges across the Piave and the
I lines of communication open.
I For the airplanes that will be nec
essary for the new service for feeding
the north of France, the French gov
ernment will first of all make use of
It own bombing machines. After this
it expects to be to utilize not less
than 100 planes turned over by Ger
many under the terms of the armis
tice. In addition, France hopes that
both England and the United States
will place at her disposal a number of
their bombing machines now lying Idle
in France.
Vital as the new service will be for
feeding the north of France, it also will
help solve the problem of the gradu
al transformttion of the military av
iation service for peace times.
