CONGRESSMAN DILL
AIMED AT BY TEUTS
He and Four Other Congressman Have
Narrow Escape in Front
Trenches.

British Front in Belgium.-Five
members of the party of American
congressman and private citizens who
spent the latter part of the week Wis
iting the Belgian war zone, had a mar
row escape from death or injury Fri
day morning when they were caught
in a sudden burst of German machine
gun fire while inspecting the front line
trenches near Dixmude.
The Americans in danger were Con
gresham C. C. Dill of Spokane, Wash. ;
Congressman Charles T. Timberlake
of Colorado, Congressman John F. Mil
Ter of Seattle, Wash; Congressman
Albert Johnson of Hoquiam, Wash.
and former Representative Stout Of
Montana.
Nobody was hit, but it was one Of
those peculiar feraks of fortune which
soldiers call luck, because the shots
came in shower, so clase to them II
seemed almost certain some one mus
be wounded, although they were ex
posed only for brief time.
The seven other members of the
party were in another section.
Later, however, when all the Ameri
cans were together. the Germans drop
ped a big shell some 10 yards away
seriously endangering every one.
