The child was running along with
the balloon in his mouth, playing
horse with a companion. A tap from
the drivers whip made him cry out,
and he drew the rubber into his
mouth, a section going down into his
throat He struggled desperately to
dislodge the balloon, but chOked to
death within a few minutes.
An examination showed the balloon
entered the trachea with the mouth

stopped the air passages every time
the child drew a breath.

But the excitement was wild and
reminiscent OF the scenes enacted in

one revenue officer. "If we'd broken

1:30, we'd have had more arrests and
more cases to prosecute"

BASE
HAIG'S OBJECTIVE,
BAKER DECLARES

Destruction of German submarine
bases on the Belgian coast, which
would blast Germany's campaign OF
submarine terrorism, is disclosed as
the main objective of Haig's terrific
smash in Flanders in a comprehensive
review by Secretary Of War Baker Of
results thus far accomplished in the
British offensive.
Secretary Bakers resume of the
irresistible advance OF the British
forces in Flanders Is based on off,
cial and confidential reports received
by the Army War College and general
staff
ALLIED ascendancy would appear
conclusive" Secretary Baker declares

Get U-Boat Base.

Continuing in an effort to visualize
for the American public just what the
British offensive is designed to ac-
complish Secretary Baker said:
The full success OF these opera
tions means that the Belgian coast,
with its numerous submarine bases,
will become untenable to the enemy.
"Zeebrugge, Ostend, and the sys-
tenn Of canals leading out Of Bruges
are threatened"
THE defeats inflicted upon the
Germans during the past fortnight
are conclusive Indications of allied
supremacy.
in the light OF past experience 1t
may be premature to assert that the
British have succeeded in forcing a
decision, but 1t may be stated with
emphasis that in no engagement hith-
erto has such vigor, energy. and con.
centrated speed OF action been dis
played"

Sound Strategy.

Secretary Baker and his army stan
advisers assert that the action OF the
British in attacking the Germans at
their greatest point OF resistance Is
sound strategy. The sweep OF the
British at the heart OF the German
line. he believes, Is more irresistible
because its progress has been slow
and steady.
