War’s Hidden Costs Dramatized by Aviators and Ammunition
A Chicago Evening Post piece recalls a French aerodrome attendant once an aviator who now serves with quiet respect as he keeps soldiers ready. It profiles a Canadian invalid aviator on a train ride who will never fly again, his nerves shattered after a 5000 foot dive and a near-miss recovery. It contrasts the visible dreadnoughts with rifle cartridges priced at five to fifteen cents and notes a gunner can burn through about 97.50 worth of ammo each 60 seconds, nearly the take from two Liberty bonds.

What He Wanted to Say at London Garden Party
General Biddle quoted at a London garden party about the doughboy in France and his trouble with French phrase books. A doughboy in the Tuileries complains that such books teach odd phrases like relatives and neighbors’ belongings but miss everyday expressions. He longs for phrases to compliment a girl and remark on familiar faces or striking appearance. The anecdote appears in the Dallas News.
