 Then came the Soc:e5y Of English and American Friends. They set to work promptly. They save moral en- coara cement 10 the ruined people and helped them to construct temporary shelters They selected the blasted homes which offered the best possibil- iries for partial reconstruction, and aided the townsfolk to erect shacks between the walls that still stood where a house had been, or to put a substantial roof over a cellar that could be lived in.
 Later they built barracks and little one or two-room cottages to house those who had been tenants before the war and owned no land of their

 MT. Robinson gave some concrete reasons why the American people should buy the Liberty Bonds, adding that any man, woman or child who did not invest in these bonds and who were able, whether their wealth con- sisted in cash or investments, was a stacker, pure and simple and such a person should be forced to bundle up his duds and be transported to Ger many where he belongs.

OPPOSING ARMIES
 STRENGTHENING
 FORCES DURING LULU
Repair Damaged Defenses Dur ing Heavy BOmbardment- Heroic Work Done by Ambu- lance Men.

With the American Army in France Sunday, April 21.-Two low flying German airplanes were brought down Saturday by American machine gun ners during the German attack in and about Seicheprey, northwest of Foul. The machine gunners had been ord cred to retire, but they remained in their position and fought effectively against the enemy aviatars.
 During the engagement the Ger mans concentrated their artillery fire on the American telephone and tele- graph wires. Couriers were forced to pass through two or three barrages in order to maintain communication. In the meantime the men of the signal corps, many of them smoking cigar cites, in face of heavy lombard ment, restored the wires almost as fast as the enemy shells disrupted them.
 Ambulance men ventured into No Mans Land during the thick of the fight and did heroic work in gathering up wounded. One German, who had offered to surrender, attempted to ex- plode bomb on the ground as three Americans approached him. Another soldier, however, discovered the trick and hurled grenade at the German. One of the Germans legs was blown off and he died later, prisoner of the men he attempted to blow up. l A village near the front lines which the correspondent visited today tells mute tale of Saturdays fighting. There are huge shell holes in the streets and parts of the church and other buildings have been blown off. The fire became so hot here that Sal vation Army girls, who had been serv- ing hot coffee and doughnuts to the Americans, were forced to leave. The girls protested, saying they were not afraid of the Germans end wanted to stay in their dugouts, but the officers did not wish to take the responsibil- { ity. As they left the girls were cheer ed by soldiers returning from the front lines.
