There was a very American atmos-

official of the Franco-AE.erican Bank

in France and when the war broke out
left their American business to come
home and fight. And now they are in

and, after compelling the proprietor
and three employees to hold up their
hands, bound them and robbed the
cash register or sum of money which,
the police say. amounted to $500. The
robbery was not discovered until some
time afterward, when policeman,
trying the door, found it unlocked.

The ingenuity of some of the trench
quarters along the way is shown in the
use of empty glass bottles for win
dows. One officer pointed with pride
to the very artistic effect he had Sc
cured with these empty wine bottles

The headquarters of Gen. Neville, IN
command of the operations at Verdun.
are quite a way outside the city, at
little cross-road hamlet, which can
not be named for military reasons. The
generals offices are in the town court
house, a two-story stone structure. 1t
was in this same building that Gen.
Petain, who preceded Neville, and Cen
de Castelnau, quickly made the plans
on the first onrush of the Germans
which held them until reinforcements
could be brought up.

Coming back from the front-line
trenches, one had a view of the many
ceaseless activities in carrying on this
great battle. At one, point soldiers in
shirt sleeves were digging graves in
an improvised cemetery along the
forest path. The cemetery was very
large, and had been given name
"Maison FORESTER" or Forest Home.
Every grave had wooden cross above
it. with the name and regiment of the
dead soldier.
The shells kept whizzing and burst
ing as the party moved along, and 1t
got to be a pleasant pastime to note
the long s-z-z-z as the shells flew
overhead. One of them struck few
hundred feet away, throwing up trees,
earth and clouds of smoke.
To those who wanted souvenirs there
were big fragments of shrapnel lying
at every turn. 1t was pleasant at first
to pick them up, but after three or
four of these heavy chunks of steel
were carried half mile the task was
abandoned

Truck Hauls Big Howitzer
Over Hill and Dale in
Record Time During Test
BY Associated Press

San Francisco, Cal, April 10.-Oni-
GERS of the coast artillery expressed
satisfaction over a test made to test
the value of the automobile as fac
tor in coast defense.
The Thirteenth Company was rushed
from Fort AIiley, on San Francisco
harbor, to Half Moon bay, n point on
the coast where an enemy might land.
The artillerymen took with them a
Z - Inch howitzer. weighing four tons.
The distance is thirty eight miles
over a hilly road and the trip with
horses would take, army officers esti-
mated, about a day and half. The
artillerymen, in motor cars, covered
the distance in 80 minutes and the
gun was only three hours on the way
and was ready for action fifteen min
utes after arrival.
