GERMANS GO INSANE
IN SOMME TRENCHES

Imagine mud so bottomless that the
German prisoners claim their men
frequently were swallowed up whole in
attempting to cross after dark.
This is the territory the Germans
left.
TRENCHES WIPED OUT.
The German prisoners told us that
communication trenches had been
wiped out by the incessant British fire
and the mud, so that relief and re-
victualling was difficult, most danger
Gus. Men on such missions were
caught by the British machine guns
sweeping in the darkness and could
not be saved. 1t was impossible to
save those thus cut off by the de-
struction of the communication trench
es. The dead were left where they
fell.
Two attacks in November left scores
of dead Germans outside the trenches.
when the British are burying the re-
mains.
Such was the sink hole occupied by
the Germans.
The scenes were too horrible for the
human nerves TO withstand. They
make quite believable the stories of
soldiers who became raving maniacs.
1t is quite possible that in the with
drawal Germany plans to use her
troops elsewhere in a big offensive,
but the British are undisturbed.
One outstanding moral of the Ger
man retreat is wherever the Germans
stop their Retirement, their new posi-
lions can be reduced to the same hid
eous uncomfortable quagmire of cadav-
ers and muck. where crisped dead
hands clutch from the mud at the
kaiser's men and dead eyes stare at
them from the slime, defying even
German discipline to hold their men in
line.

INSPECTION OF ABANDONED DE-

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS.
United Press Staff Correspondent.

With the British Armies in France,
March Cone reason why the Ger
mans retreated along the Ancre was
because they were fast becoming a
garrison of gibbering lunatics. Their
positions had become more hideous
than the scuppers of hell. Mud-bot-
tomless in places-and the ceaseless
pounding of the British guns had
turned their positions into stench-pits
too horrible for human nerves to stand.
The United Press correspondent was
the first American to penetrate across

as far as Thilloy towards Bapaume.

BITTER TONG WAR
BEING WAGED IN
CITIES ON COAST
Seven Slain and Number
Wounded in Clashes Be-
tween Rival Chinese So
cietieS.

San Francisco, March 6.-The few
Chinese who ventured into the streets
Of the Pacific coast Chinatowns walked
warily today and went heavily armed,
in realization that the bitterest tong
war in recent years is on today. Adj
vices from half dozen cities early to-
day indicated that so far seven Chi
nese have been slain and several
wounded in the first sudden clash oc
rival tongs.
Three Chinese were shot down in Diff
feIent parts If Sai. Francisco China
town at the same hour. Simultaneous
ly, gunner " Ut on the Narpath in
and Los Angeles Two were slain in
San Jose.
SIX ToNGs INVOLVED.
Police declared today that six fight
ing tons are now involved in the war
and that a seventh may be drawn in
at any time. The gunner of the Bing
Kongs, Hip Sings, Sin Suey Wings and
Suey Ons are allied on one side against
the Suey Sings and Hop Sings, with
the possibility Of the On Yicks taking
sides with the allies" headed by the
Bing Kongs.
Triple squads of police patrolled
Chinatown's streets here today and
sought for gunner in hidden places,
but with little success. The mystery
of the Oriental quarter has closed again
over the fighters and the police sus
pect that som. new outbreak is being
plotted.
REVENGE FOR KILLING.
The Chinese Peace society and de-
tectives who are familiar with the
workings of ths fighting tongs, asserted
today that the Blink Kongs were paid
$4,000 by the Bow Leong tong, the
leading Portland organization to get
certain members of the Suey Sings. A
Suey Sing slew a Bow Leong man in
Portland Feb. IS, in revenge for the
killing of a Suey Sing in the same city
10 days earlier. The Bow Leongs, IN
turn, sought revenge and enlisted the
aid of the Bing Kongs here, it is said.
Only Sunday leaders of the Suey
Sings and Bing Kongs effected a peace
agreement in Los Angeles and sent a
here to the headquar-
ters of the peace society with a copy
tong leaders here. Two o'clock was
the hour set yesterday for the signing
of the pact Fifteen minutes before
that hour Blink Kongs suddenly ap-
peared in three sections of Chinatown
and opened fire with automatic revolv-
ers. Three Suey Sing, or Hop Sing
men fell, one being instantly killed, and
the others dying shortly after.
OUT OF DARK PLACES.
simultaneously in San Jose, Stockton
and Oakland highbinders came out Of
dark places and began their attack. The
Bling Kongs had caught their enemies
unaware and unprepared and struck the
first fatal blow.
Police expect that the Hop Sings and
Suey Sings may lie low" for several
days before they attempt to get re-
venge, but they are confident that they
will not wait long Nome fighting is
looked for before the end of the week.
