THE LOOT OF
THE HUN
Grand Piano and Carved Furniture
Found in German Dugout


Behind the Franco-Americar
Lines, August 26 Correspondence OF
The Associated Press)-Priceless
tapestries, paintings, furniture OF
the Louis XVI period, grand pianos
and rich portieres found by the Hun
in Chateau Thierry were carried away
by him in his retreat and used to
furnish dugouts.
Following the German retreat
American units inspecting the enemy
dugouts for concealed boches found
the deliberately furnished subterran
can apartments. The care and de-
sign of the furniture varied with the
rank Of the officer, it was discovered
At one of the quarters-that of 2
German general, the sides of the dug,
out were lined first with lumber
looted from the town and over the
lumber were placed embroidered por-
there's. To prevent dust from falling
from the roof, which had been first
protected by corrugated sheet-iron
several artistic tapestries had beer
attached.
The grand piano was found in the
headquarters Of a regiment. 1t was
thought by the Americans that her,
the regimental staff reveled over theii
first successes and the use of Ger
man artists to play the iJsurument
was resorted to. Finely carved
tables and chairs were found in pro-
fusion in this rendezvous. Othel
dugouts were furnished also in elab-
crate style varying in degree will
the rank of the occupant.
Beds from Chateau Thierry tool
up much of the space in some of the
higher officers quarters. Dowr
under 20 to 80 feet of earth could BIZ
found handsome bedroom suites. II
some cases, due to the haste which
the retreating Huns were. forced t
exercise, the beds had not been usee
they had been made in the morning
and were ready for occupancy
Models of comfort, they were mute
evidence that the retreat of the Ger
mans had been a hasty one.

CHRISTMAS TRADE

Early Holiday Buying Encouraged.
Washington, Sept 1.-THE coun-
ell of national defense has decided
after extended conference with mer-
chants to encourage early Christmas
buying, but under certain restrictions,
so as "to confine Christmas giving
except for young children to useful
articles, and to spread the period for
preholiday purchases over the months
of October, November and Deem
ber." This is calculated to relieve
the strain on transportation and 9th
er commercial interests.
