There are no villages

There are no villages
there.
Travelling in a British staff mo-
for | have gone thru scores OF
these very villages and would not
even have suspected their exist
ence were 1t not for sign posts at
the crossroads bearing the name
of the hamlet which once stood on
the spot.
In the conquest of this region
the Germans have taken nothing
of military value. They them
selves, in retreating across it. blot
ted out everything which might
have been of use to human beings.
Heaps of Dust
What every correspondent who
has studied this region first hand
had long suspected is no secret
now. The British had made no
serious effort to fortify and hold
this area in case of a new German
drive across 1t. Except for the
necessary buildings to house their
troops and except for road repairs
to render motor communication
possible, the British left the re-
gion practically in the state of ut
ter devastation in which they
found 1t after the Hun retreat Of
a year ago.
Places like those markes
Estress, Poeuilly, Brie, Athies,
Tincourt, Roisel, and Buire may
we'll have been taken by German
troops, but those places are moth
ing but heaps of red brick dust
and few piles of shattered stones
practically useless even for ma
chine gun posts.
FOrestall Trick
The German plan seems to
have been tot catch the British
armies in this devastated area and
engage them in a war movement
in the open where there was no
cover of any kind by using which
the tretreating Tommie could hold
up the Hun advance.
Dispatches indicate that the
British have forestalled this trick
by extricating themselves without
more than normal losses and taxi
ing up prepared positions still
further back.
The strategic advantage which
the Germans have gained will not
be fully evident for several days.
But the territorial advantage of
their drive in the region east Of
the Bapaume-Perrone line is nil.
They have simply occupied vast
Sahara of their own making, con-
tanning not even a solitary civil
ian inhabitant to be added to their
slave gangs.

done pretty quick, because there
will be more accidents and at the

While coming from the Founda-
ton Co. there was a freight train
with five car attached on it, and
which had between four and five
hundred workers on it.
We were all riding nicely until
the Milwaukee bridge and there
we were side tracked, and of
course quite a few started to run
for the cars which were passing
us and which were already full,
1t was plainly seen that every
body couldn't get on and quite a
few started to walk. All at once
someone hollered that someone
had been killed and we all started
to run towards the body
What | want to write about is
the way the people seemed to be
so helpless. l myself ran more
than 100 yards and when I came
up to the body crowd had al
ready gathered. They were big,
husky men, but they sure acted
like helpless kids.
They all seemed scared to touch

Retribution
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Mrs. Hilda Custer may be in
sane. But IL she was so insane
as to take some ones baby from
its home and hurt a loving family
to such an extent as l know they
could be hurt, she Is too crazy to
be set free and should be put
AWAY where she can do no more
such deed and cause such heart
aches as she has caused.
And II not crazy, as I believe
she is not, she told too straight
a story about having no children
and when faced by her neighbors
admitted she had three or four OF
her own grown. Insanity Is a
pretty poor plea in this case.
She also admits being German
Said she was. Does it ever strike
|you, as 1t does me, that she is
German, working for the kaiser ?
Men are getting Searce in Ger
many. Why isn't it reasonable
that the kaiser would hire such
as she to take our boys to Ger
many to be raised as Germans.
And there may be many more
like her, and II she is freed, of
course they will find our country
so easy they will do 1t again and
again, and many homes will be
in mourning, not for the soldier
lad who can defend himsef, but
for the innocent little boy babies
taken from their cradles, from
loving mothers and fathers, to be
taken over there, NOT for a brave
soldier, but to be raised as inhu-
name as possible, to lift his hand
against his own country.
Think twice, Mr.. Lawyer, who
ever you are, before you free such
baby snatchers as she, lest she or
her kind turn their hand against
YOU.
II she is crazy put her behind
tight bars so she can do no more
harm; II not then even hanging
is too good for such as she, and
the man or woman who sets such
as she is free to do as they please
in these times is no better than
she. and should be dealt with the
same as she should be IL set free,
for surely the mothers think too
much OF their babies to let such
criminals walk in freedom to
stel babies as they will. Enough
said, I'm a mother. e. l.. K.

to Be Built by Private Con-

tsN MORNING JOURNAL sPEt thL LEASED WlREl
Washington, March 30.-A new
shipbuilding program for private in
terests was approved today by the
shipping board, as a further offset to
the drive against allied tonnage which
is being made by German submarines.
Chairman Hurley announced that
the request of the Atlantic and Pacific
steamship company for permission to
place contracts with shipyards in
Oregon for $50 motor-driVcn wooden
ships of 5000 tons each had been
granted under certain restrictions.
The new contracts will not interfere
with the government program.
The government building program
for March surpassed the goal set by
launching 1900 tons, the shipping
board announced today, but fell short
in deliveries because of shortage of
steel plates,
Thirty hulls of 232,7S6 tons were
put into the water and twenty vessels
of 162,2OO tons were completed.
Growth of the submarine toll has
spurred officials to greater efforts to
hasten the building of ships. The four
official announcements isued in Lon
don this month contained the record of
81 British ships sunk. Of which 81
were of moro than 500 tons each.
In February the loss of G7 British
ships, of which 40 were more than
500 tons each. was recorded. The
total increase was IA ships, or 20 pet
