Pershing Visits Trenches.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Feb. I.-(Delayed. y
General Pershing visited the first
line trenches today, as part of a
general inspection Of the American
forces holding this sector. He found
the men in excellent condition and
spirits. Their patrol work, he ascers
tanned, is becoming rapidly more
effective, while the men In the rear
are anxious to take their turn in the
trenches.
Pershing picked his way through
the wet, soggy trenches and emerged
with the same spotlessness that
made him the wonder Of his men In
Mexico, where it was said he could
go into the dustiest places without
seeming to get dusty.
Where other officers slipped and
floundered in the mud, Pershing
stepped gingerly along, picking his
way with sure-footedness and scarce
ly soiling his boots.
Pershing asked cook how the
food was.
"All right" the cook replied, sex
cept we'd like little more variety"
What did you have for supper2"
Nothing but roast beef, mashed
potatoes, bread and butter and cof
fee."
Returning from the trenches, Per
shing visited various headquarters.
The Boches last night did their
first patroling in six nights. Amerlc
can patrols reported German soldiers
making repairs on their wires and
trenches. but there were no encoun-
ters. There was only nominal artil
lerying.
The weather continues clear and
cold.

And there'll be little less alcohol

This today appeared to be the
prospect for the period Of the war as
the food administration prepared
regulations controlling the sale of
grain for mailing purposes.

IN FRANCE, Feb. 17.-(Delayed.) }
The wounded and sick occupants of
a field hospital. few kilometers be-
hind the American trenches had
been transferred to the rear today
as the result of Boche air raid.
A German airplane, flying low in
the light of brilliant quarter moon
Friday night, released ten bombs
directly over the hospital Surgeons
standing in the yard saw trails or
sparks from the burning bomb fuses
streaking toward the earth Ike red
rockets.
The air planes velocity caused the
bombs to miss the fimsy wooden
hospital building. They struck In a
nearby field, making enormous holes.
Fragments smashed the windows or
the operating room.
l was visiting some soldier friends
a short distance from the hospital
when the raid occurred. The wooden
hut in which we were sitting seemed
to lift from the earth
A little Carolina kid was picking
banjo and singing in nasal whine:
"My mothers dead in lonely grave.
MY fathers ruined away;
My sisters married gamblin' man
! And | have gone astray."
The explosions knocked down the
candles in the hut. The captain
sprang up and relighted them. The
kid stopped singing momentarily
then asked:
Captain, hadn't I better keep on
singing?'
The captain laughed and replied:
Sure, boy, shake 1t up
The kid took up the song where he
left off, with sound of the airplane's
motor and machine guns rat-a-tat-
tating overhead and bombs crashing
in the field nearby.
This morning l visited the hospital
where young officer who had not
vet been transferred to safety showed
me the ugly, jagged fragment of a
bomb which struck a door two feet
from his bed.
He told how he lay helpless in
bed, gazing at the sky through a win
dow and saw the livid tracer bull
lets from the airplane's machine
guns fired toward the hospital. He
heard bombs whistle earthward like
the roar of shells through the air.
