Where the Americans Fought.

It was a difficult position to hold.
that In which the Americans stood, Tor
only q few hundred yards from the
river a high bluff rises steeply, winch
gave the Germans full sweep over the
town to the American positions on the
south bank of the river. Several
streets through the town converge on
the bridge and 1t was the task OF the
American machine gunners to sweep
these streets clear of every living hu-
man and prevent the Germans from
rushing the bridge. You can still see
the first position of our machine guns.
AT the top of a garden wall just be-
hind the south quay of the river one
of our machine-gun detachments man
aged to pile sand bags and for prle1
moment were able to check the Ger
man advance. The position was TOO
exposed, however, and they could not
hold it. but they did not retreat; Ihey
moved up the quay through the houses
and found cellar window which
opened just above the pavement of
the quay Here they awaited the sec
ond rush of the Germans and Tor
second time drove them back.

Not a Case of Hospital Shelling.

From the quay we went to the big
hospital of Chateau Thierry. In the
very center of the facade is a shell
hole. The doctor in charge of the
hospital called my attention to the
inaccuracy of the information that is
sent out concerning this war. He him.
self had seen a photograph of the
hospital with the title Hospital
Shelled by the Germans!" Heaven
knows there is enough of barbarism,
rightly attributable to the Germans,
to damn them in the eyes of the
world. But in this instance the hos
pital was not shelled. but spared, and
the doctor explained that the shell
hole was an accidental shot from a
French gun.
We saw them taking the wounded
from the ambulances. There were
many gas cases. In spite of their
wounds most of the men were cheer
full. and some even smiled. One man,
whose face was pulled out of recogni-
serted it with difficulty between his
swollen lips. The courtyard of the
hospital was piled foot deep in tons
of refuse. The place had been occu-
pied and evacuated by the French,
Germans and again by the French.
and finally reoccupied by the Ameri-
cans. Each time there was a change
the contents of the hospital were
dumped in the courtyard. With the
wounded coming in and the great
work of caring for them straining the
nerve of the whole organization it
was only possible to clean up slowly,
for the americans had been only
forty-eight hours on the job.

Hide-and-Seek With Germans.

AS soon as the Americans opened
f1re from the new position the Ger
mans discovered them, and, IN
preparation for fresh assault
of their infantry. showered the
cellar window with bullets and
shell. Again the Americans did
not wait to be exterminated, but
moved farther down the quay ana
pushed the MOBILES of their machine
guns cautiously and unobserved into
several grond floor windows. In TINS
way our machine gunners played hide
and seek never allowing the Germans
an opportunity to annihilate them. AS
soon as their position was discovered
they shifted ground. Several discover
ed they shifted ground. Several times
the Germany infantry succeeded in
rushing onto the quay across the
bridge Here counter attack or
French infantry drove them out. The
remarkable thing about this episode
was the fact that these machine gun
neds were just off a steamer from
America and yet they worked like
veterans in cooperation with the
French troops.

REPETITION IN CAPITOL DES|CN
 BEING PLANNED

Plans prepared by the suicessful architect in a contest to be con- ducted by the commission of state institutions will be adopted for the construction of the addition to the state capitol building.
 Rules under which this architects contest is to be conducted are now in course of preparation by the com mission. Advertisements, announcing this contest and explaining its pro visions, are. to be placed in the news papers of Arizona within a short time, it was announced at the office of the commission yesterday.
 The contest will be open to the architects of the entire country, it was stated, but in accordance with the general policy, preference will be given to Arizona architects, all others being equal. Architects who enter the contest will be provided with q general outline which all plans are to follow
 The amount of money at the dis posal of the commission for the con struction of this addition is $125,000. The house, at the last session of the state legislature inaugurated and passed a bill appropriating $75,000 for the construction of the addition. This bill was amended to s125,000 by the senate, which amendment was concurred in by the house. While the exterior of the addition will con- form with that of the original cap- itol building, the interior will be much more elaborate, according to a statement by a member of the con- mission.
 "The commission is desirous of pushing the work of building this l addition to the capitol as rapidly as possible" said a member of the com mission yesterday. There is great need for this addition, as the capitol is badly overcrowded, many of the state departments being cared for | in rented quarters.
 But aside from this, there is stated to be an over supplys of men in Arizona at present who are skilled in the building trades, and we are anxious to get this capitol work started and assist in taking up the slack in the labor situation D

noon we sat in the park while our boy took his nap, never dreaming that around the city hall was a womans' building with beds for just such tired little fellows. Later in the day we had all the joy of dis covery when we found the municipal rest rooms, with separate rooms for reading, sleepy children and tired mothers, kitchenette and lavatory.
 Why, it is just like a little home, and Mrs. Abbot is a perfect hostess. She even urged me to bring my children and leave them with her while I shopped. It is an ideal place for the motorist to clean herself, or the traveller to rest between trains. Why not advertise it more? A placard in the depots and one at each park would help. I was here six months before I found it. I am anxious for every Phoenix resident to enjoy this perfect haven.

COLE EVANS |S
 IN JAIL AGAIN

When Cole Evans was released by the federal authorities yesterday, County Attorney L. M. Laney had him brought before Judge Stanford before whom the county prosecutor made a motion to increase the bail of the defendant from s1,000 to s2,000.
 The court raised the amount and at a late hour last evening it had not been furnished by Evans, who is believed by the officers to have been a leader in the liquor traffic in this city since the prohibition law went into effect.
 Evans was arrested in the Buckeye valley country after a sensational race with the county officers and an exchange of shots. The federal officers investigated the case and yesterday released Evans.
