Try to Deceive Bombers.
When the Americans crossed the
Marne recently they discovered that
the retreating Germans had conceived
a trick to deceive the allied air bomb
ers who were seeking out bridges and
boats along the river and otherwise
were active in preventing the Ger
mans from crossing the stream.
The Americans found submerged
boats and floats held down by rocks
but SO arranged that they could be
made accessible for use by the Ger
mans in short order for crossing from
the south to the north bank Of the
river.
In instances these floats spanned the
river and were held by cables and II
required only a short time to float
them. The Germans did not get a
chance to use their impromptu bridges
having been kept away from them by
the fire Of the allied guns. The French
| and Americans. however, made use OF
tho floats when they came along In
pursuit Of the enemy.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, July zs'
The battle of the woods" has ended
and the Germans have been swept
from the forests of Fere and Ris.
Toward the last of this four-day
struggle the Franco-American ao-
vance became so rapid that the re-
treat of the Germans was greatly dis
organized.
The edge Of the German salient to
the south and southeast of Fere-en-
rardenois was ground down by the
whirl of the allied troops and dulled
to an extent that German weakness
was indicated at many points Tne
first indication of this was seen Sat

rapidly that the Franco-American
troops entirely lost contact with hfm-

Franco-American troops we're com

pally of machine gunners. most OF
whom, dressed In green clothing. had
nests in trees. Day after day during
the fighting the allied troops bucked
the German machine gun nests, using
artillery and machine guns and some
gas against them.
Machine Guns in Stretchers.
In the rear guard fighting which
was carried on to permit of the with
drawal of the heavier German guns
the enemy resorted to numerous
tricks. such as carrying machine guns
in stretchers when endeavoring to
reach some points under the allied
fire. When they realized that their
stretcher trick had been discovered
the Germans resorted to other means
to deceive.
The Franco-American fnfantrymen
and machine gunners were notified by
their commanding officers to be on the
alert for Germans wearing American
! or French uniforms, several instances
having been reported where the Ger
mans did this. On one occasion the
soldiers were notified by field orders

 Classes and Purposes

ANCHORAGE, Dec. 12.-Irrespec- tive of any criticisms that may be directed against the principle of pub lie ownership of transportation util- ities in time of peace, employees Of the Government railroad in Alaska have proved that in the matter of the support it affords National activi- ties in time of war it is a bowling success. Their subscriptions and do nations to causes directly and indi- rectly connected with the world con- flict, while the United States was engaged in it, aggregated more than three quarters of a million dollars.
 They subscribed $610,S00 in Liberty Bonds; donated $102,500 to the Amer ican Red Cross; $27,00O for the re- lief of destitute Serbians and the support of French and Belgian or phans; $S,000 for the endowment of Alaska beds in the American mili- tary hospital at Neuilly, France, and $1,620 for the benefit of distressed Syrian and Armenian Christians in Western Asia. In addition to these amounts, there were various contribu- tions for other purposes, such as Italian, Russian and Grecian relief, of which no records are now avail able.
