GIRL DEFIES SHELL FIRE;
RACES TO AID YANKEES
Young French Woman Having
Learned German Secrets Carries
Them to Allies, About to Attack.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, Monday. September 16
(by the Associated Press).-The de-
votion OF q French woman to her
country was recorded last week at one
Of the American headquarters to
which q woman whose name cannot
be mentioned had made her way
through shell fire and over a region
filled with gas and traps to bring to
the allies information regarding the
Germans.
With her mother and younger
brother the young woman, who Is not
yet twenty, had lived at Soulevre
farm since the day it fell into the
hands of the Germans four years ago.
Four other brothers are in the French
army. The mother and daughter were
forced to remain within the German
lines and witness the day by day
conversion of their property into a
German clubhouse. During those four
years the two women endeavored to
placate rather than to antagonist
their captors.
From German officers who frequent
ed the farm the young woman learned
information which she recognized to
be of the utmost Importance. When
she heard the barrage Thursday morn
ing she determined to run the risk
Of crossing the nearly three miles
separating her home from the allied
lines.
Telling her mother and the others
that she had work to do in the garden
the young woman left the house. She
slipped away toward the American
lines although every road was swept
by allied and German gunfire. After
many difficulties and narrow escapes
tho young woman reached the Ameri-
can lines and told her story
In return for the Information she
brought she asked that every effort
be made to rescue her mother and
brother. The Germans attempted to
maintain their position at Soulevre
them in desperate fighting. The
mother and brother were brought to
American headquarters today unin-
jured and there was a joyful reunion.
