SISTERS OF SEC.
LANSING REPORT
THRILLING Time

With the American Army in
France. June 20.-(By the Associated
Press)-The Misses Emma S, and
Katharine L. Lansing. sisters of Sec
retary of State Lansing, who have
been members of the Red Cross in
France since last September have
had a thrilling experience and learned
the horrors of modern warfare at
first hand.
Recently when German airmen
bombed village near the front
where the Misses Lansing conducted
a canteen, they were forced with
many other persons virtually to live
in a champagne cellar until they
could close the canteen and leave the
village. The Germans had ad-
vanced in that sector and subjected
the village TO almost incessant bomb
ing. so that il was not easy to leave
the place in a minute. The CORES
pondent and another correspondent
were lunching today in a little town
in the rear of the French British
front when a chauffeur told them
that Two nurses" had been talking
to him and inquiring if the Amer
leans were coming there. The ap-
peared to be lonely, said the chauf-
feur and desired to see some of their
countrymen.
Later the correspondent found he
Nurses" who proved to he the
Misses Lansing. in front of q neat
home where they were comfortably
blleted. They said they We're thirsty
for news from home and eager to
learn what the American troops were
doing on the Marne and elsewhere.
They declared that they had heard so
much favorable comment concern
ing the Americans from the British
and French soldiers whom they had
met that it made them all the more
anxious to see and talk with Amer
leans.
The American artillery put Gown a
heavy barrase on the rear of the
enemy positions. \ few minutes
later the infantry swarmed over the
top and rushed the trenches. Some
of the Germans had tried to escape
through the barrage crashing to their
rear, but few of them got through
for numerous German dead were
found later.
Prisoners captured declare they
had orders to hold on at ali costs and
this was apparently by the desperate
manner in which they fought The
battle was short, but deadly for the
enemy positions we've swept clean OF
Germans. The official report says
that a great many Germans we're
killed.
One machine gun nest containing
eight men. which had been sprinklins
Cantigny for some days, was blown
up by direct hit by trench mortar
bomb.

ARE WE WAR CRAZY? WE ARE!

German Admiral Won Hintze mouthplece OF
the German war party which wants to save It
self from the rising tide Of German revolt by
bringing a loaf of half baked peace to the Teu-
tonic table. accuses the United States of being
war crazy.
The admiral hit the nail squarely on the head
we are war crazy. And we will remain war
frazy until the blot of U-boat piracy has been
wiped out Until Belgium is restored. Until
Serbia Runania, Flanders, Russia are freed.
Until the lid has been fastened tight on the
foffln of German aggressions and Hohenzollern
creams Of worldwide conquest, military and
commercial Until the imperial German govern
nlent no longer considers treaties as scraps of
paper. Until that government is overthrown or
so thoroughly renovated that further progress
of civilization and democracy may continue
impeded
We are so war crazy, Won Hintze, that we're
going to tax ourselves eight billion dollars this
year and loan to our government double that
amount.
We are so war crazy that we will draft
boys and our middle-aged men.
We are so war crazy that will fight to the
last dollar, the last day and the last for
liberty and honor, more precious in our eyes than
gold and life.
We are war crazy because we are right and
we know it, and because you are wrong and we
know it.
