WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY T.:
FRANCE, Feb. 3.-American officers arc
elated over the results of the first
artillery duel between American and
German gunners, which followed pre-
liminary shelling by the Germans Sat.
urday evening. In official reports =
the headquarters of their organizations
the infantry commanders to-day paid
tribute to the promptness with which
the artillery responded to the call for
barrage and to the effectiveness oil
the artillery fire.
Aerial reconnissances to-day showed
that the American gunfire had had y
very destructive effect 1t will require
several nights of hard work under
artillery fire for the Germans to repair
the first line trenches caved in by the
American 75's and to patch the gaps in
the barbed wire.
1t is known that at least three enemy
dugouts were demolished, probabl,
with some casualties. On the othcy
hand, the damage done to the American
trenches will be repaired before to-
morrow morning.
Shells Give Warning
In regimental headquarters village
shclled by the enemy, many buildings
were wrecked completely or in part,
the debris being piled in the streets.
There were no casualties among the
officers. The whistling of two b:g
shells gave warning of the coming bonn
bardment and officers and men sought
shelter in the dugouts. The lombard
ment Of the headquarters village came
at the end of period of shclling which
had extended gradually along sevcrai
kilometers Of the front
The German artillery opened the en-
gagement with a desultory lombard
ment Of the American trenches at Ger
tain point, firing many shrapnel shells
In the midst Of this a red rocket, call
ing for a barrage, assembled from the
German first lines.
Before the German artillery could
respond, the American 75's, summoned
into action BY a signal from the 'hrss
line, laid a curtain OF fire along the
enemy first lines. Then began the bat
tie of the gunners. The Increased in
tensity Of the German fire was met i'm
mediately by the Americans, who not
only showered shells on the origina.
sector, but quickly extended their activ-
ity to a wide front.
Darkness Ends Battle
Within twenty minutes the 75's and
larger pieces were booming all along
the valley, the shclling finally spread
ing to town in which the regimentai
headquarters was located AS darkness
settled down the guns were quiet.
Heavy mists again overhung the
American sector to-day. Consequently,
there was little artillery work and 70
aerial activity.

 IN THE UNITED STATES

Edward N. Hurley was like most other men in that he he'd dreamed that if the wolf could De turned from the door permanently he would withdraw from the money contest and do something constructive for his country He was unlike most others in that he lived up to his ;deal.
 Possessed now of a moderate in- come, he works Ia hours a day for the government. As chairman of the reorganized shipping board, and president of the emergency fleet or ganizati5n, he is the pivotal part of the governments shipbuiding and ship operation enterprise, He is virtual master of all the shipping of the United States. He is in supreme charge of the expenditure Of $750,OG0.O00 for ships-three- quarters Of 9 billion dollars. writes Thomas r. Logan i'll Leslie's Weekly.
 Hurley is now directing all the ohipyards of the United States. All of them have been commandeored by the government end are now un- der his control. He will be in com mand of the international shipping pool, directing the voyages and car goes of all American ships, most British ships and many of the ships Cf neutral nations. The property which he is to administer is worth many billions of dollars-morc than the total capital of score of the biggest corporations in the United States. The government pays him a salary of $7,500 a ye2r. He would be just as well pleased to have no salary at all.
 As a fireman and engineer he toilod for many years over the hot furnace and boiler of a C. B. & Q. railroad engine small wages were paid in those days.
 There was no eight-hour day and the standard of wages and living WAS not as high as at present. The foreman invariably took visitors to inspect Hurleys engine. It was the model of the road, the c!eanest, the best oiled. the most faithful to the railroad schedule.
 Back in eighty-e:ght-whan he was twenty-four years old, Hurley became travelling salesman for a met ellie packing company. It was while he was with this company that he conceived the idea of pneumatic tools. He knew there would be a demand for such articles. He work cd at night over the idea. He didn't hit upon the solution in a happy or inspired moment. He gave all his spare time to the development of the idea. That is how he came to be the originator and chief develop CT of the pneumatic tool industry in tn United States.
