SICKLY BOY IN TWO YEARS BECOMES
WORLD’S MOST VALUABLE AIR SOLDIER
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31,
(Mail Correspondence.) — The most
valuable soldier in the known world to
day is a youth of 22, who, when he
enlistee!, was a sickly looking boy in
the first degrees of consumption
Today, France would rather part
with two whole army divisions than
lose George Guynemer.
He is the uncrowned “king of the
air,” who has brought down 45 Ger
man aeroplanes.
As one aviator is worth 1000 or
dinary troops, Guynemer has strate
gically wiped out 45,000 Germans. No
one soldier ever before approached this
pale Frenchman’s military value.
Capt. Amaury de La Grange, head
of the French aviation commission re
cently in the United States, in ex
plaining Guynemer’s tactics for the
benefit of aeronautic experts, said:
“George Guynemer, now only twenty
two years old, began training in Feb
ruary, 1015, on the eve of his exam
ination for the Polytechnical School.
“He was tall, slim, delicate, so one
feared he might have lung trouble.
He had never gone in for sports, and
was almost the last man to be picked
as promising material for a pilot
“He finished training in three and
a half months, not remarkable when
compared with Lieut. Tetu’s six
weeks. Less than a month after his
arrival at the front, armed only with
. an army rifle, he brought down his i
first enemy.
“His plan of campaign against an
enemy machine is simple.
“He approaches as near as possible
without firing, keeping low and behind
his adversary.
“When he comes almost up to him
(90 to 150 feet) he makes his plane
rear up like a spirited charger and
opens fire.
“He is an excellent shot and us
ually disables his opponent in the first
round, but in case he does not he tries

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE IN

time attacking a merchantman.

““Guynemer is almost alone in the
use of these tactics, as most ol tiie
other ‘Aces’ (pilots who have brought
down live machines) prefer to open
fire at greater distances. Gunemei’s
tactics were also employed by Pegoud,
the greatest flyer at the beginning of
the war.”

BEWARE OE
BURMA BEANS
Similar to Lima Bean but Not Fit For
Human Consumption Is C laim
Made
WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. l,(By
Mail).—It has come to the knowledge
of the United States Department of
Agriculture that certain shipments of
beans from the Orient known as Bur
ma or Rangoon beans have entered
this country from Canada.
They closely resemble the ordinary
navy bean in appearance, but can be
distinguished by the light yellowish
color and the fine, distinct radiating
lines passing out from the hilum or
eye.
They are pole beans of the Lima
type and not suitable for planting in
this country, since they are of tropi
cal origin and will not mature in the
bean-growing States. They are not fit
for human food, since they yield hy
drocyanic acid in amounts which may
be dangerous to the health of the peo
ple of the United States.
The port and border laboratories of
the Bureau of Chemistry are under in
structions to make examination of all
shipments of such beans offered for
entry and to effect their detention.
