THE LITTLE OLD LADY
OF PANSY SQUARE

Timidly she entered the Red Cross
Bureau and stood just within the door
way.
Her poor. dimmed old eyes spoke so
eloquently: "rm friendly, ladies. but
a little afraid"
Several of us rose, but Mrs Craw.
ford reached her first and asked her
to come In and sit down.
"Oh, thank you so much" quavered
the old lady as she sat down. You
see, my boy-my grandson-has gone
and"-with Spartan fortitude she re-
strained the tears that glistened In her
eyes-"gone with his regiment Now
I'm all alone in my little cottage in
Pansy Square. And. oh, ladies, do any
of you know the dreary loneliness
when there is no one who comes home
at nightf"

so forlorn, yet so brave. We drew up
our chairs closer. and she told us her
story.
The little old lady owned a vine
empowered cottage in Pansy Square
There she kept house for her grand
son, who worked In a downtown office.
When America took up cudgels for de-
mocracy the lad, In patriotic fervOrs
was among the first to enlist.
"Ah, how | loved him and needed

ly. But my dear country needed him

Through the Home Service workers
of her community the little old lady
of Pansy Square has been provided
with simple tasks. such as making pre-
serves and delicious cakes and jellies,
a labor of love for her and an unfail-
ing source of revenue.

PRISONERS OF WAR HERE
ARE ALL PUT To WORK
Americans Held in Germany Com
plain of Lack of Blankets
and of Food.

WASHINGTON. April 1s.-Every
German prisoner OF war In this country
was ordered by the War Department to-
day to be put to work. Eight hundred
and fifty we're set 10 building roads near
Fort Mcpherson, Ga. while others az
Fort Oglethorpe. Ca. we're employed In
building new structures to house other
prisoners.
With the War Department taking
over for the navy the u 5S prisoners
captured by the destroyer Tanning there
stlll remains the problem OF whether
Gen. Pershing's prisoners shall be
brought back here. A decision on this
point is expected soon.
That some complaints OF German food
and camp conditions have come from
American prisoners in Germany became
known to-day. Some OF the men report
ed that they did not have enough blank
cts. while others said they were given
either poor quality food or little OF It.
international law requires a nation to
feed It's prisoners as 1t feeds It's own
soldiers. This Germany is not doing,
though tho United States is scrupu-
lously observing that regulation.

scattered the enemy One dough
boy" taken by the Germans was
pulled for sixteen yards over the
barbed wire and then eluded the enc
my by jumping into u communicating
trench during q barrage.
The Americans did brilliant work In
the stitf fighting on Friday at Brule
Wood. in the Forest OF Apremont,
Lorraine, to which the French War
Ofiice already has referred In its
communications. An account OF the
engagement. which has Just reached
the correspondent through the French
Army. shows that at 4.30 o'clock In
the morning, after a short and severe
bombardment. 600 German troops Sc
lected from an entire division made
an assault and attempted to occupy a
first line trench. Small bodies OF
famous French troops which formed
the advance posts resisted the enemy
until their ammunition was exhausted.
Then they retired to obtain supplies,
after which they returned 10 the fight.
The French commander lmmedl-
ately organized a counter-attack, in
which American troops Joined, and
after fierce fighting elected the en-
emy. The ground was strewn with
phe German dead. and the Allies took
a number OF prisoners.
Shortly afterward suspicious enemy
movements were observed in that
vicinity. Groups of Germans were
seen to be creeping into the first line
OF the American position. which had
voluntarily been left unoccupled.
American soldiers dashed forward
from the support line and engaged in
grenade lighting and hand-tO-hand
encounters. in the course OF which
they displayed wonderful dash and
coolness. French troops nearby
watched admiringly the progress OF
the Americans, who, after a severe
engagement. repulsed ths Germans.
The enemy suffered heavy casualties
and left behind twenty-tour prisoners.

AUSTRIAN DRIVE At HAND,
ITALIAN EXPERTS BELIEVE
Emperor's Visit to Front and
Inspired Articles in Press
Indicate Wide Offensive.

WASHINGTON. April l6.-An Aus
trian offensive against Italy is immi-
nent and viii be started on a large
scale, in the opinion OF Italian observers
as expressed in official messages to-day
TO the italian Embassy here. The re-
cent visit OF Emperor Charles to the
Austrian front and inspired articles in
the Austrian and German newspapers,
the usual forerunners OF an offensive.
are taken as AN indication.
The enemy press has begun TO speak
openly OF the offensive in order TO pre-
pare the Austro- Hungarian public for
the inevitable losses resulting from such
colossal operations as are anticipa. ed
by semi official newspapers" the de-
spatches say.
Tho Vossische zeitung (Berlin), in
an article full Of mysterious illusions.
says this spring will put Switzerland's 3
neutrality under the. severest test. as
the Austro-German troops will prob
ably enclrcle. in the course of their
operations, the little republic. The
Mannheimer Anzeiger urges that the
German offensive In France be com
pleted with a similarly Irresistible
drive against the Italians and against
the British In Palestine"

NEUVE EGL|SE IS
FILLED WITH DEAD
AS BRITISH RETIRE
Neither Side Asked or Gave
Quarter in Desperate Struggle
for Ruins of Town.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY
IN FRANCE. April lG (Associnted
Press) ).-The Germans occupied a
shambles when they took Neuve
Egllse. Tho contendlng forces. who
had been battling bitterly here for
days, had been asking and giving no
suarter. Several times the she'll torn
village changed hands. On each oc-
caslon It was a struggle to the death
with bayonets as the troops swirled
In a mad melee through the Grim
soned streets.
The British and Germans alike had
but one thought az the red heat Of
conflict got into thsir blood--to fight
TO q finish and accept the fate which
was In store for them.
After tho British recaptured the
place on Saturday morning they con-
tinued TO hold II with a hollow square
Of troops thrown around It. Tho
massed Germans kept flinging them
selves against this thin but deter
mined line OF defenders Tho battle
went on until late Sunday night, when
the pressure from overwhelming
enemy forces became too great and
tho weary square OF khaki dissolved,
to reform In new positions n little
northwest OF the town. Even then the
Germans found themselves In a nasty
situation. for the British artillery i'm.
medlately opened tremendous bonn
bardment and began plllng up Ger
man dead with those who had gone
before.
The British unwittIngly furnished a
small force OF Germans with a feast
the day the enemy broke through tue
Portuguese and got round the British
right flank at Bac 81. Maur.
A supply train loaded with rations
was surrounded. The enemy immedi-
ately forgot hostlllties and pounced
on the train. According TO their own
statements. the Germans saw white
bread for tho first time In several
years. They also found jam aud
canned meats.
Prisoners who were taken we're sur
prised that the British Tommies were
still getting such good food.
