AMERICAN FRONT
LIKE AN INFERNO
Yankee Guns Make Night Hide
GUS Along PiCardy Sector
-B0CheS Attempt
No Raids.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON,
United Press Staff Correspondent,

With the Americans in Picardy, May
~13.-Tonight in Picardy tie doors OF
hell seemed literally opened. Screech-
ing demons Of death filled the air.
Pounding guns Jared the earth as If
all the evil forces below were endeav-
oring to break through. The flare of
the guns and the flash and roar OF
bursting shells appeared like great
fires sweeping the rolling fields.
With the setting of the sun there
was no rest. Then wagons loaded with
ammunition and supplies started for
the front. Patrols crept across No
Mans land. The artillery turned night
into a time of terror inc punishment.
The United Press billet is just back
OF the front. Apple trees are in bloom
everywhere. Lilacs and daisies grow
outside the door. At dusk a nightingale
perched neal the window and started
it's evening song. But beyond the lilacs
and daisies and over the nightingale's
song Numbered the song OF war.
If YOU nave owe noticed sheet light
ming in a hot sky on a summers night,
multiply it's intensity hundreds OF line
and you'll have a picture of this Ameri-
Gentleman artillery duel as it flashes
against the heavens. Imagine huge
blast furnace doors thrown open at
very frequent intervals. Tnat is how
the Pickering glare Of the cannonade
illuminated the sky tonight as the
larger guns let go.
Amid gigantic explosions houses
rocked as though shaken by a great
hand, doors flew open, windows ratified
violently, furniture quivered. AS the
American heavies fired, the departing
shells could be heard on their way to
the German lines. Each shell sounded
like an express train leaving the rail-
way station. Such death dealing trains
halt at German stations only.
Two additional buildings were de-
molished at Cantigny last night. Amer
lean batteries kept the enemy under
heavy bombardment.
Such artillery activity as this starts
every night at dusk and continues until
after midnight. Then there is a respite
until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning,
when the c~annonade is resumed and
lasts until dawn.
German shells arch through the air
| with a swish and a whine, but the
American fire Is far heavier. The
Americans are continuing TO repulse
attempted German raids.

SAID THE WORKMAN
TO THE SOLDIER

Said the workman to the soldier as
his ship put out to sea:
"While you're over there for free
dom you can safely bank on me,
Ill be just as brave as you are, in a
safer sort of way,
And I'll keep producing, going
every minute of the day."
Said the soldier to the workman as
ship put out to sea:
"Ill be true to you, my brother, if
you'll just be true to me.
Now we've got to work together, it's
my job to bear a gun,
But it's yours to keep on toiling if
we're going to lick the "Hun."
Said the workman to the soldier: II
will back you to the last,
No more strikes for higher wages
till the danger time is passed"
Said the soldier to the workman:
"I'm for you and you're for me,
How we understand each other, let
the ship put out to sea-"

Did Hard "Bit" for FIaa.

After going without tobacco several
weeks. so the money could be used to
purchase a large American flag, the
old inmates of the Hampstead (L. ~

of seeing the colOrs break from the
flagpole in front Of the only home they
know.
Some Of the men are eighty-five
years old and the loss of their tobacco
was great hardship. The old fell
lows talked of the deeds they had
seen done for the colors in the Civil
war and heard of in the Revolution

that was to be theirs. The overseers
Of the poor, Daniel ]. Morrison had

gave the patriotic old men fine cigars
and they started to make up for the

Work and PLAY.

Variation of types of work properly
adjusted will often substitute for what
is generally known as play, says the
New York Times. For instance, ones
brain center may become weary at 4
monotonOus occupation, and a decided
change of occupation, Notwithstanding
1T be what we usually call work, will
permit the first brain center involved
to rest while another works. But Wi
come back to the fact that what most
people regard as play is an occupation
that they are not required to perform,
and, it would seem from q psycholog-
ical standpoint to give greater rest If
1t be an occupation that is particularly
useless from the standpoint Of produc-
Ing economic results. Therefore there
should be time set aside in the work
of the day, no matter whether it be
varied or not, when the environment
may be changed and play should be
taken up.

TWO NOTED RIVERS.
TagIiamento and Livenza Become
Important in Italy.
one Stream OF No Value Commercially,
While the Other Is Known for
Many Tributaries.

The National Geographic society AT
Washington has issued the following
war geography bulletins on the Taglia.
mento and Livenza rivers, mentioned
in the cable dispatches concerning the
German drive into Italy:
THE Tagliamento river, whose flood.
ed banks served as a rampant for the
retreating Italians for only a few days,
and which was crossed by the Austro-
German forces, Is q stream of no value
commercially. 1t is one of many small
rivers rising in the Carnic Alps and
flowing through the Venetian plain into
the Adriatic. Its headwaters are
near Mount Clapsavon, about sixty-five
miles northwest of it's entrance into
the Adriatic, but the course of the
stream is meandering, flowing first to
the east and then south through a
marshy valley, thus traversing a dis
tance of 100 miles. 81
Just 12O years ago the Tagliamento
hgured prominently in another great
military campaign in northern Italy. II
was during Napoleon's campaign of
1907 that re-enforcements were greatly
needed by the French. Bernadotte,
who afterward was placed by Napoleon
on the throne Of Sweden as Charles
XIV, led his army with signal dispatch
from the banks Of the Rhine to his
commander in chief and at the pas
sage Of the Tagliamento won enduring
distinction.
The Tagliamento passes no import-
ant cities of Venetia. The most import
ant of the small towns that SQUAT upon
Its marshy banks are Venzone, 20 miles
by rail from the Austro-Italian frontier;
Spilimbergo and Latisana. The last
named is eQuidistant from Venice and
Trieste on the 1OO-mile railway which
connects these two important cities.
The Tagliamento flows IL miles to the
west of Udine, the first italian city of
Importance to fall before the onrushing
Teutonic forces in the present often
sive.
"In ancient times the Tagliamento
was known as Tilaventus.
"The Livenza, like the Tagliamento,
Is one of many streams which rise In
the Carnic APPS and flow through the
delta region of Venetia. Its course Is
not more than seventy-five miles In
length, but it has numerous tributaries,
chief among those on the east being
the MEDINA, the Fiume and the Sile,
while the Monticano and the Meschia
are affluents of the west bank. The
point ut which the Livenza mingles it6
waters with the Adriatic lis only Oh
miles northeast Of Italy's priceless
Jewel city, Venice.
''The plain lying between the paral-
lei courses Of the Tagliamento and the
LivenZa is dotted with Italian towns
of great historic and art interest Chief
among these are Pordenone, probably
the Pontus Naonis of the ancients, but
now many miles from the sea {; Porto
gruaro. San Vito, AZZano and the ruins
of COncordia Saggittaria, the ancient
Roman military station"
