GERMANS ATTACK ON WIDE
FRONT AFTER BOMDARDMEN1
CONTINUED from page y

News of the Teuton attack in the
rheims region came as a surprise to
most officers here.
1T is most likely" said a well known
officer today. that the Germans are
attacking between scissors and
Rheims in order to draw away the
French reserves which have been sent
to aid the British in the north They,
Perhaps believe that a direct thrust
against Paris will alarm the French
and work against the Allied unity of
command.
But with the British and possibly
some Americans on the front of the
new German drive, it looks as if
Foch is meeting the enemy at each
threatened point with a complete al
lied army. Heretofore the Soissons-
Rheims sector has been wholly
French. but there is an evident desire
on the part of Allied high command
to withhold as many French reserves
as possible for probable future coun-
ter moves.
THE real danger point in my opin-
ION Is in the north. Only fifty miles
are between the Allies and the sea.
They are cramped for space and a
deepening of the salient at Merville
would constitute serious menace to
the defense of the channel ports"

models, were well guarded from obser-
vation by numerous allied planes
which constantly circled above them.
No German airplane could approach
within observation distance. A re-
stricted area was maintained and no
civilian was allowed within three
miles, 30 we felt sure that we had a
great surprise In store for Fritz.
When we took over the front line
we received an awful shock. The
Germans displayed signboards over
the top Of their trench Allowing the
names that We had called their
trenches. The signs read Fair"
Fact" Fate" and "Fancy," and so
on, according to the code names on
our map. Then to rub It In, they
hoisted some more signs which read
"Come on. We are ready. stupid Eng
lish."
1t is still 4 mystery to me how they
obtained this knowledge. There had
been no raids or prisoners taken, so
1t must have been the work Of spies
In our own lines
Three or four days before the big
push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves
by feint attacks, and partially sue
eeeded as the official reports Of July
show.

piece, he looked at the watch on his
wrist He was still alive at "3 :3e."
Ping "a bullet sang through the
air, and Lloyd fell forward across the
gun. A thin trickle Of blood ran down
his face from little, black round hole
in his forehead.
''The sentence of the court had been
duly carried out"
The captain slowly raised the limp
/ form dropping over the gun and, wip-
ing the blood from the white face, rec
ognized 1t as Lloyd. the coward of ,
company. Reverently covering the facA
with his handkerchief he turned to his
"noncoms" and. in voice husky with
emotions, addressed them:
Boys, it's Lloyd the deserter. Fc
has redeemed himself, died the death
Of hero-died that his mates might
live"
That afternoon a solemn procession
wended its way toward the cemetery
In the front stretcher was carried by
two sergeants. Across the stretcher
the Union Jack was carefully spread.
Behind the stretcher came q captain
and forty-three men, all that were left
of D company.
Arriving at the cemetery they halt
ed in front OF an open grave. All about
them wooden crosses were broken and
trampled into the ground.
A grizzled old sergeant, noting this
destruction, muttered under his
breath: Curse the cowardly blighter
who wrecked those crosses! If 1 could
only get these two hands around his
neck his trip West would be short"
The corpse on the stretcher seemed
to move, or it might have been the
wind blowing the folds Of the Union
Jack.
