GUNS FORM
HORSESHOE
OF FLAME

- WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
AT SOMME, Aug. ia 30-milc
horseshoe of solid artillery fire is
drawing a line of flame along the
Somme battle front.
The artillery fire reached the
highest intensity as ] arrived at
the highest point of the plateau
southwest of Peronne.
On the previous day the French
had captured the German third
line from Hardecourt to Buscourt.
At the precise moment of my ar
rival the French were employing
all their great artillery strength
to protect their new positions.
The Germans were Smelling des-
perately in an effort to dislodge
the French and launch counter
attacks.
The struggle was indescribaple.
A curving line of fire extended
from Clery north of the Somme TO
St. Quentin. Shells of all caliber
burst every instant.
A 30-mile horseshoe of French
observation balloons hung over
head with wireless instruments
directing the French fire.
Innumerable French aeroplanes
darted among the "sausages,"
crossing the German lines con-
stantly.
Occasionally half a dozen white
puffs appeared around the aero
planes against the clear blue sky,
showing shrapnel from anti-air-
craft guns.
Despite the great activity of The
French air forces, not single
German aeroplane appeared.
Likewise not a single German

French held undisputed mastery

ssWOnen Easiest
Friends, to Get,
Says DR.. Allen

SEATTLE, Aug. 16.-Dr. Per-
cival v. Allen, thrice married,
twice divorced, and in jail while
detectives are investigating the
mysterious death, here, July 10,
of Anna Marie Danielson, whom
Allen passed off as his wife. told
a Tacoma Times reporter Tues
day that the quest of true friend
ship had led him into his present
predicament. \
I'VE go hell-pell-mell through
life, take a million chances, and
finally fall victim to fate" was
the way the garrulous osteopath
expressed it.
81 have always contended that
lucky is he who can find sympa-
thetic companionship with his
fellow man, but to find 1t in
woman is not difficult"
The reporter had been sent to
learn how it was that the doctor
was able to attract women :
women of the character of Miss
Danielson, said to be wealthy, in
telligent, attractive and cultured.
Physically DR.. Allen is domin-
ating. But he is inclined to be
puffy. His features are not clean
cut. He is far from handsome.
| And his. grooming is faulty, due,
possibly, to his four days So
journ in jail.
However, he can entertain
with his talk. His eyebrows and
hands work with his thoughts,
and whether the subject be bull
dogs or philosophy, the doctor Is
ready to converse.
81 had nothing to do with the
death of the woman" he was
quick to say. ION the boat
wanted friendship, and found
her responsive. Our attraction,
each for the other, was purely
platonic.
Take a look at me!
There is no particular reason
why I, more than other men,
should be able to win the conf
dence of women. But I become
interested in interesting women,
and-I'm human.
ITO me, the friendship Of wom-
en- is vital. Friendship among
men-true friendship--is rarely
found. l have never known ans
difficulty i'm discovering women
who could be real friends.

The doctor kept drifting back
to the Danielson case.
81 met her on the boat. She was
sick. l thought / could put ahel
nerves in order. But hers was
such a peculiar case. She would
not respond to treatment.
"If II had not been for my adj
miration of true friendship she
, might have gone her way and

, finally bring back her health.
