Priceless Furniture and Por- tieres Taken By Them
 to Dug Outs.'
By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press
 Behind the Franco-American Lines. Sept. 1.-Priceless tapestries, paint ings, furniture of the Louis XIV period, grand pianos and rich porti- CTS found by the Hun in Chateau Thierry were carried away by him in his retreat and used to furnish dug. outs.
 Following the German retreat Am erican units inspecting the enemy dug-outs 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 German general-the sides Of the dug out were lined first with lumber loot ed from the town and over the lum- Der were placed embroidered porti- CTS. To. prevent dust from falling from the roof, which had been first protected by corrugated sheet-iron, several artistic tapestries had been attached.
 The grand piano was found in the headquarters of regiment. It was thought by the Americans that here
 
 first successes and the use of German artists to play the instrument was resorted to. Finely carved tables and chairs were found in profusion in this rendezvous. Other dugouts were furnished also in elaborate style. l varying in degree with the rank of the occupant
 Beds from Chateau Thierry took up much of the space in some of the higher officers quarters. Down under twenty to thirty feet Of earth could be found handsome bedroom suites. In some cases, due to the haste which the retreating Huns were forced to exercise the beds had not been used since they had been made in the morning and xere ready for occu pancy. Models of comfort, they were mute evidence that the retreat of the Germans had been nasty one.
