morning as / was watching an air
battle from a little dugout near our
"hbri," that a "braucardier" rushed up
and said there was a "couchee tres
grave" and so / started down the
road. ] had only gone about 100 yards
when a bunch of Poilus rushed out
and tried to stop me, saying that the
shells were landing on the road q
little way ahead. l could hear them
screaming as they passed over my
head, but thought they were bound
for some batteries in the woods beside
the road. However, as l came around
q turn in the road / suddenly realized
that the Poilus spoke the truth. for
as l looked ahead / saw a tremendous
fountain Of dirt go up into the air. and
then another just beside the road and
the noise was terrible.
Germans Follow Schedule.
Il timed the shells, and found they
were landing about every 30 seconds.
The "Boches'' always shoot absolutely
on schedule, such as shell every 80
seconds or minutes. or every so often.
We'll, as ! was getting up my nerve
to go on, l suddenly saw that shell
had hit big tree just ahead, and that
1t had tunbled directly across the
road. My poor "blessee" who had
been nearly torn in two by a shell was
in terrible shape, and knew that ev-
cry minute might mean life or death
to him, so remembering that there
was a ~. B. D." station just behind
the tree I left my car aand jumping
into a trench which ran along beside
the road l started on a run for the
post when suddenly I heard the terri
BILE screech Of shell, and just threw
myself face down in the dirt. There
was an awful explosion, and then l
was nearly covered with rocks and
mud and debris, but, as later learn
ed, the shell could not have landed
more than seven or eight yards away

but as ] was on the bottom of the
trench it was impossible for any
"eclar" to hit me.
We'll, l got to the post but every
man had left; one "abri" was all
smashed in, and generally it was a
scene of desolation. I did manage to
find an axe however, so with this
started back to the tree. AS was
hacking away on an almost impos-
sible job, the Poilus, who had warned
me, came running down the trench
and gave me a lift with the tree, and
together we got it out of the way.

and Dixon line, since climatic condi-
tons favor year round training.
Another urgently pressing concern
OF the War Council was the caring for
the girls through organized clubs and
recreation in mobilization centers,
towns where men will be brought to-
gether for long or short periods before
being sent to training camps. Reports
from practically every one of these
small towns hasten the work of the
committee. In both the training camps
and mobilization centers there will be
numbers of women visitors. relatives
of the men, who must be cared for.
The Young Women's Christian asso-
citation has the machinery, the. equip
ment and the motive to make this
work effective

work in Britain it is estimated that an
army of 100000 unframed women

Lecturers are to be sent, as far as
practicable, to the towns where SOL

young women of the temptations which
must be met and overcome.
The program adopted by the Coun-
Gil includes club work for girls. recre-
alton centers for boys and girls, ex-
tension of regular work, especially
along lines of employment. recreation
and housing, erection of buildings to

other countries affected by the war,

BANKS NOT HURT By WAR LOAN
The Effect of Bond Sales Has Bees
Mild, Institutions Report. &

Girard in The Philadelphia Public
Ledger: / have this directly from the
president OF one of the largest savings
banks in New York:
1--WE shall be forced to raise the dn-
terest paid on deposits to per cent"
He was thinking of the competitions
offered by United States bonds. But
the Philadelphia savings banks do not
reflect any such crisis.
In ten weeks our four big savings
banks have lost only u million doll
lars of deposits and four thousand
depositors AS there are still 10000
depositors and 209 million dollars OF
deposits remaining, the effect of the
Liberty Loan on savings banks has
been exceedingly mild.

Gray before she moved to Fargo with
her mother four years ago. She said

razor In his hand and threatened to
kill her IL she did not marry him. Miss
Cation testified that when he entered
the house the first time Wednesday
morning he had not been drinking, but
that after the shooting, she was sure
he had been. Miss Cation doubted IL

Cruger Memorial
Offered by Italian

Onorio Ruotolo. we'll known Italian
sculptor has designed memorial for
Ruth Cruger. Henry d. Cruger, the
father Of the murdered girl, received a
letter from the sculptor and photo
graph Of the memorial design. In the
letter Ruotolo expressed his sympathy
for the bereaved family and begged
them 20 accept the memorial.
When seen at his studio, at II East
Fourteenth Street. yesterday, the
sculptor was putting the finishing
touches to the group. The design IA
symbolic. Death, as a protecting an
gel, is bearing away the figure Of a
young girl from the attack of vice,
which is symbolized by coiled serpent
at the base of the group.
"The crime might be construed as a
reflection on the Italian people" said
Ruotolo when asked what led him to
make the memorial. "When | read that
gocchi was beyond a doubt guilty |
wanted TO do something to remove any
reflection that might be cast on my
race, 10 atone in some measure for such
a horrible crime. | could not bring the
child back to life, but | could make the
memorial 10 show the father that the
great bulk Of the kindly Italian people
feel his suffering and sympathize with
him and his family in their sorrow"
