front line unit of the Red Cross made
a fine record in the recent German Of
fensive At Roye they took over the
direction Of military traffic One girl
in gray uniform standing at the four
corners directed columns of guns, cayal-
ry wagons and troops, thus preventing
traffic jam.
The unit had been located at Grey
court. few miles back of the lines do
ing reconstruction and relief work, when
the offensive began. They were the last
women to leave several towns before
the Germans entered, and were on duty
in half dozen villages, widely separ-
ated, when word came of the German
advance They aided hundreds of ref.
ugees to the rail heads, and established a
temporary kitchen in one town, feeding
250 British soldiers who had not eaten
for hours,
The girls established an information
bureau at Montdidier where refugees and
soldiers were given information about
trains and routes They also drove two
trucks and two automobiles in removal
work and picked up scores of wounded
who were unable to make their way to
dressing stations. When unable to OBJ
tain supplies from bases they purchased
them in towns and kept the kitchens
and temporary canteens going.
In four different towns the girls man
aged to keep just one day ahead Of the
oncoming Germans. AT one place they
crossed bridge a few minutes before
1t was blown up. Previously they had
driven across this bridge night and day
while it was mined The military su-
thorities finally had to order them to
cross the bridge. The Red Cross girls
worked eight days without removing
their clothes, sleeping on straw in barns
and caves and similar billets.

TRY TO SET FIRE

Germans Send Up "Chain Rockets and
British Aviators Claim the Sensa-

able to Them.

Behind the British Lines in France
April 4 Correspondence of the Associat'
ed Press One of the Germans favor
lite devices for opposing British airmen
ON night raids or "Reminiscences, Is a
barrage of the so-called chain rockets.
These consist of long chains of brilliant
ly luminous balls, bright green in color
which are sent upwards like sky rockets
in strings of 30 or 49, and which hang
suspended in the sky for a considerable
time. apparently for the purpose OF
catching the airplane and setting fire TO
IT,
The rockets must be driven up with
tremendous forces, probably from a gun,
for they rise to height Of 10000 feet,
and can be placed with great accuracy.
The fire balls appear to be about foot
in diameter. As they rise they are often
caught by the wind, and assume beauti-
full curves Sometimes the whole line
topples and turns before il yanishes,
foating for few moments like a row
of strange green japanese lanterns. 1t
is supposed that the balls are supported
in the air by small parachutes.
Thousands of these chain rockets are
fired bv the Germans on every occasion
when the entente airmen attack town
or camp They are part of the regular
shrapnel barrage which is used to hamp
or the attackers, but they give much
more spectacular effect than the bursting
shrapne, which only gives momentary
fash in the sky and then is gone
If a machine is caught by a search
light, hundreds of the chain rockets are
strsightway sent up towards it They
make remarkable spectacle as they are
seen climbing up the sky and passing,
one by one, across the beams of light,
and finally appearing in their appointed
station in the upper darkness. :.
British airmen declare that the sensa
ton of having these chain rockets fired
at them is rather pleasant than other
wise. II is difficult TO believe that any
thing so fantastic, beautiful and fairy
like can be really dangerous, On a
cloudy night, it is said, nothing is pleas
anter than to float over the rolling
clouds and to watch the green chain
rockets pierce the mist here and there,
casting weird radiance over the noun
tains and valleys of cloudland.
In the midst of really vigorous bar
rage. the chain rockets thread the skies
in scores of fiery chains, floating past the
invading machine on every side, leaving
behind them thin trains OF scented
smoke.

NORMANDY TO BOOM
AFTER THE VAR ENDS
Efforts of German Capital to Get Into
Valuable Iron Ore Field Were
Stopped By the Outbreak
Of the War

French Front, April 4 Correspondence
of the Associated Press Normandy Is
believed to be destined to become one OF
the great centers OF French industrial
activity as soon as hostilities have
ceased. One metalurgical company
working under the auspices of the French
government, already has taken the mat.
ter in hand, and is constructing large
series of blast furnaces TO turn into
steel the immense layers OF iron ore
found in lower Normandy.
{ Just before the war the whole region
with its mineral wealth, was in danger
of falling into the hands of the Ger,
mans, as Thyssen, one of the German
steel kings, had acquired the Soumont
mine, about II miles from Caen, with
the intention of working it in connection
with blast furnaces he proposed to con
struct in the vicinity of that city. His
idea was to furnish coal from his West
phalian mines, and to obtain iron ore
for the German blast furnaces along the
Rhine.
Thyssen was unable to obtain con
cession for the construction of a railroad
from the mine to the port OF Caen except
on the condition of uniting his interests
to those of French company. This con
dition was accepted and a company was
formed which at the end of 1912 started
important works on the right bank of
the river Orne.
Ten million dollars had been expended
when the work was interrupted by the
war and the part belonging to Thyssen
sequestered. The French government
thereupon, in view of the great demand
for cast iron and steel for the purposes
of the army, decided to step in and
hasten the construction of the works.
The two great national armament works,
Creusot and Saint diamond, interested
themselves in the project and established
new company, which now has works
covering more than LOO acres near
Caen.
A railroad has been laid connecting
the works with the Soumont ore mines
ID miles distant From these mines, il
is expected, iron ore will be obtainable
for an indefinite period, while coal will
be brought from England for the present
and later from the northern departments
of France and from Belgium by canal.
Sinkings are also in progress for the dis
covery of the prolongation of the English
coal layers.
The works are now employed on NUM-
tions for the French army, but as soon
as the war has terminated they are to be
utilized to turn the district into a gil
gantie steel works and transform the
province into an industrial center.
