PUNCH reaching the moon, however, would be compensated for by los- ing the rocket apparatus altoge- ther, but the splendor of first. contact between a planet and a satellite would make up for the consequent 1 ss of records and calculations.

"An interesting speculation," says the statement given out by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, under а grant from which Dr. Goddard is working out his experiment, "is on the possibility of sending to the surface of the dark part of the new moon a sufficient amount of the mast brilliant flash powder which, being ignited on impact, I would be plainly visible in a powerful telescope. This would be the only way possible of prov ing that the rocket had really left) the attraction of the earth, as the Apparatus would never come back, once it had escaped that attrac-i tion. While this experiment would be of little obvious scienti fic value. its successful trial would be of great general interest, as the first actual contact be- tween a planet and a satellite.". The rocket will go up through the 230 miles which will take it the outer limits of thei earth's atmosphere in 614 minutes, it is expected. To thus send a rocket beyond the in- fluence of the earth requires ап initial mass cf 1,274 pounds, according to the state- meat. The highest level so far reached with instruments is nine- teen miles, and this was done with a free balloon.

The announcement says ini part:

"The great scientific value of Professor Goddare's experiments lies in the possibility of sending recording apparatus to moderate and extreme altitudes within the earth's atmosphere. The nature of the higher levels of the eir has for a long time been a subject of much speculation as

to their chemical composition, tempera- ture, e'ectrical nature, density, ozone content, etc. The highest level that has ever been reached up to the present time with re- cording instruments is about nineteen miles. accomplished with a free balloon."

U. S. ARMY STOCKS.

SOLD CHEAPLY IN FRANCE. Antwerp, January 4-Almost $800,000,000 was realized from! the sale of American army stocks remaining in France after the departure of the American army, said Brig-Gen. W. D. Conuer Chief of Staff of the American Department of Supply, who sailed to-day for America. Gen. Connor said he had estimated the value of the stocks at 31,700,000,000 and that it would have cost- $75,000,000 to take the stocks back to America. The United States,; therefore, received a little less than 50 cents of the dollar for the. supplies that were sold.

thing the American Government could do, the general said. Had they been retailed in various countries; great losses would have been entailed, as the expense would have been heavy. France paid £400,000,000 for stocks it took over, while other Allies and smaller nations purchased sup- plies for $360,000,000.

As an offset against the stocks bought by France, that country undertook to pay damage claims amounting to several million dollars as a result of American operation in training areas. When the American Army went to France it was agreed that farms and buildings used by it in) training would be left in the same condition as found. Miles of tren- ches were dug and buildings were demolished, and American forces were rushed into Germany before) the land could be restored to its former condition,
