FROM the time It first became ap-

the city Of New York would in short

Its belief, based on its experience
with its widely extended elevated sys-

velopment Of outlying territory would
not only In short time build up a
population that would be profitable from
a transportation point of view, but would

The special train, with Mayor Hylan

Germans opposite the Americans on
a certain section OF the Lorraine
front attempted to lombard the
Yankees in the first line with mus
tsrd gas shells late Thursday night.
They failed, their shells falling way
short. The fumes dissipated them
selves in No Mans Land, the Amer
leans not feeling them at all.
Two Americans were killed and four
were wounded when a Flying Pig
(trench mortsr) dropped into the
Americans position.
Just at nlghtfall Thursday night n
party of fifteen Germans was discern
ed along the barbed wire in front of
the Germans positions. American ar
tiIlery Immediately opened mp ON them
and the Germans beat hasty retreat.
Later the Americans routed another
party Of Germans attempting to re-
pair the barbed wire. The Yankees
opened up with machine guns and sent
the enemy scurrying to cover.
The Germans are believed to be
using a new device to hide the flash
Of the big guns when they are dis
charged.

ON WITHDANCE
SAYS Governor,
WHEN GIRLS KICK

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Feb. 23.-IratS
mothers OF Annapolis IassIes who had
ehaperoned their daughters 20 the
armory dances here, where charges Of
vice and immortality caused Governor
Harrington to suspend all dances sew
eral days ago, pending an invsstIga-
tion, raised such a protest that the
governor has rescinded his order. and
today devotees OF TerpsIchore are
again shaking their feet to the strains
OF "Over There" and other popular
airs
The Maryland Council OF Defense,
which was at first accredited with
having made the charges and started
the investigation, today denied any
activity In the matter. Mrs. Thee
dore johnson, Anne Arundel county
chairman of the council, states that
the charges were ridiculous and that
most OF the girls who went TO the
dances were chaperoned by their
mothers or aunts.
Investigation by a local detective
disclosed the following cases of ''im-
morality" That several couples have
been seen dancing the turkey trot i'm
properly; that two girls got into one
OF the dances without q card, causing
the doorkeeper to lose his Job: that
two sailors had become too familiar
with John Barleycorn at one OF LhS
dances and had to be escorted to toe
street by fellow jackies, and that two
dead soldiers" or empty beer bottles,
had been found outside the armory
the morning after one OF the dances.
