Babies. Shutt1ed to
and Fro in Lines of
Battle, Are Unhurt

An Associated Press man with the
British armies in Flanders cables this
pretty story:
THE fighting in Flanders has fur
nished many unusual and trying eX-
periences for civilians living near the
front, but none Of these was more
amazing than that Of two tiny French
children who are in British military
hospital.
"They were among the few unfortu-
nate persons in Neuve Eglise when
the Germans overran that place. The
town Immediately became storm
center which was continually changing
hands, and German soldiers took these
two babies into trenches for their pro-
lection.
During counter attack the British
stormed and captured the trench. They
found the little ones safe and sound
and brought them back. The children
had been living under terrific gum
fire. and how they escaped death can
not be accounted for.
Another French baby was found
by two British signalmen at another
place. AS the child had no protection
the soldiers took the child to their bill
let in a barn.
THAT night the signalmen went to
sleep with the baby between them.
German airmen bombed the barn and
both soldiers were killed. The child
escaped injury.

Three Americans in
Italy Have Unusual
Ride on Piave River

Correspondence Associated Press.l +.
Italian Front, April 15.-Three Am
orleans have just enjoyed the un-
boat ride on the Piave river the divid-
ing line between the Austrian and
Italian fronts. They are probably the
only Americans who have been on
boat on the Piave since the fall of
Caporetto. They are Harvey Carroll,
Jr, the United States consul in Venice,
Major Guy Lowell and Captain William
Hereford of the American Red Cross.
Major Lowell and Captain William
Hereford were in Venice to inspect the
distribution of gifts of useful articles
to soldiers CT the marine front. The
trip on the Piave was arranged by the
Italian general commanding headquar-
tere near Venice.
1.-THE trip was one of extreme in
terest," said Z Captain Hereford. cit
was necessary to pass thefbarriers be-
fore getting out into the Piave river.
Once there the feeling was Of being out
in the open between your own men and
the enemy. AS matter OF fact tile
Italians were a few, miles farther to
the north where they are bravely hold
ing the line against all assaults.
Major Lowell indicated on the
slopes Of the river bank what looked to
chovaux de frise with sharp pointed
spikes which would make a very pain
full and difficult object to get over.
They were planted on the shores as
thickly as flowers in a garden.
I'VE climbed an ascent and had a
remarkable view Of what Is one Of the
most interesting battlehelds in his
tory. Five miles to the north two
lines were fronting each other,
and constantly one heard the boom of
guns and could see the clouds Of smoke
from bursting shells. Villages that had
been ruined by bombardment were
clearly discernible. From the Austrian
lines thes sausages or stationary bal
looms, were seen rising for observa-
ton. Airplanes were lowering in the
air. From behind us the big guns Of
the Italians were sending shells into
the enemy's territory.
"It is hard to- imagine any battle
field with mountains and plain laid
out so clearly and distinctly to an OBJ
server. The defenses Of the land-the
marshy ground, the lagoons the
canals, the plateau and the mountains
all gave the conviction that the
Austrians and Germans had come as
far as they ever would come.
More, even, than the natural de-
lenses, however. was the morale to be
found among all Of the men we saw on
the marine front. They were very
calm and very sure and very deter
mined They know the enemy will
came no farther and ask themselves
only how long 1t will be before the
Auetrians and Germans will give way
and begin the retreat to their old stand
behind the mountains.
"Everywhere there Is the warmest
welcome for Americans and every
where is heard expressed the wish that
before long the Americans will come
as the French and English have done,
to take their stand on the battle line
Of the Pave."

our people and the people of France,
In grateful appreciation Of the great
work done for a just cause and as
symbol of the fraternity which binds us
together, the American Red Cross So
ciety has instructed me to hand you it's
check for 100000 francs, to be dis

mittee accordin to your established
custom.
ut Is the hope of our society that
the funds may be used for the benefit
and establish men of hospitals and in
firmaries at railway stations. The re-
lief rendered sick and wounded soldiers,
both in hospitals and infirmaries, by
your societies has been a fitting ex-
preston of the sympathy and loyalty Of
a great people to it's soldiers and the
soldiers of its allies.
THE armies of the allies in France
have become one army. 1t will deeply
crafty the millions of American citi-
zens who make up the Red Cross to
know that their society has taken part
in a work which will minister during
the months to come to the soldiers Of

Demand an Inquiry.

Representative Kahn ranking re-

demanded an investigation but demo-
cratic members objected and It final
ly was decided to withhold action
pending receipt of a report by an In
spector dispatched by the war depart
ment to the factories (which have
failed to deliver the guns according to
schedule.
The Colt Firearms Manufacturing
Company was under fire during the
discussion of the revelation. This
concern has the principal contract for
the production Of the heavy Browning
gun.
General Dickson was unable to say
why the Colt company had failed to
turn out the guns or why the war de-
partment had waited until this late
date to inquire into the situation. He
was positive however, that no heavy
Brownings will be delivered to the
government until after July l, /how
long after he would not hazard a pre-
