full procession passed before us and turn

mascot on his chest. and as they lifted the
stretcher aboard the ambulance, the young

We followed this procession OF wounded
all the way to the base hospital in Paris.
AS We approached the outskirts of the
French capital. the sight was one never
to be forgotten. AS the .ambnlances
rolled along over the cobbled streets q
shutter would open and an anxious face
peer out. The women and children in
groups Of twos and threes would emerge
silently from the doorways and stare anX-
iously at the ambulanccs as they trundled
by. Children in the cutters stopped their
play and gazcd solemnly ut the procession
They had seen these sights before. and
knew only too we'll that another battle was

could hear the huShcd whisper American"
and n grateful look would come into their
eyes. They realized then. a never before
that America was in the war not only with
her money but with the best blood in her
country.
1t was only little over two weeks later
that the official American Expeditionary
Force picture, "America's Answer TO the

huge motor trucks, and the ovation they
received was tremendous.
During that period all France, and especi-
ally Paris, had come to realize that the Hun
had been stopped. and that the Americans
had played an important part in the fight.
The picture, which depicted the enormous

time.
We continued on to headquarters of

1t was on the morning of June Z that We

motor trucks rolled in from the line filed
with wounded marines and infantrymen.
They were hurriCdly checked off and

don't know how many came in, and we
weren't waiting TO count them. We
reached the car and didn't wit to climb
insiCc. but started down the road as last
as We could so TO get Out of range
That afternoon we went around to the
division with which the marines were
brigadcd II was June 6, the day our boys
drove the Hun out OF Boureches and
Torcy. and got a firm grip on the apex of
the salient that was SO menacinS 10 the
French capital.
We reached division headquarters short
~ after noon. Here things were moving
swiftly. Orderlies were dashing in and
out of the small building which had been
taken over by the division staff Lieuten-
ant D. our conducting officer. felt sure
something out of the ordinary was doing,
and after talking to some of the officers
at headquarters we started ahead. We
had not gone more than three hundred
yards down the road when the show was
started by the French and American bat
tcries.
Judging from the sound. Joe felt certain
that all the guns in the world were in that
vicinity The screaming of the shells on
their outward journey was continuous, and
this was accompanied by the sharp bark
of the 75's and the booming OF the guns Of
heavy calibre. The country for the greater
part was an open one with here and there
a small copse of woods that afforded shell
Ter for the batteries.
This was so-called open warfare, but to
the movie man, who is always on the
lookout for she spectacular picture, VI
was decidedly disappointing. 1t was i'm
possible to see any OF the guns, unless one
was on top of them, and as the flashes
from the muzZles were not dscernible for
any distance and there was no smoke the
sight from the picture standpoint was ex
ceedingly disappointing.
One incident along the road furnished
an opportunity for a picture with some
war color IN it, This main road was filled
with motor trucks and transport wagons
drawn by the old-fa shioned Missouri mule,
hauling ammunition and supplies to the
infantry lines a few kilometers ahead. The
road in great many places was an open
one and under plain sight Of the enemy's
observation balloons, but there was very
little activity on the part of their guns
that afternoon.
AS we were moving along the road q
wagon drawn by four mules was approach
ing from the other direction. Suddenly n
French battery Of 75's, stationed alongside
the road under some trees, opened up. The
mules stood up on their hind legs. and
finally rolled over on the ground. Within
q few minutes the road was a mass Of

effort that America had put forth. both In
an industrial ana military way, was re-
ccived with the greatest enthusiasm
When the German advance was stemmed
at Chateau-Thierry the first week in June
ii furnished the opportunity for Marshal
Foch TO prepare for his great counter
offensive the middle of July. In conjunc.
ton with the French, these two American
divisions held the positions for several
weeks, which gave the French Generals
simo aAl opportunity TO bring up his re-
serves. Among these were at least three
veteran American divisions-thc First. un.
der General Bullard: the Forty-second or
Rainbow, under General Menohcr and tho
Twenty-siXth or New England Division
under General Edwards
These divisions had been In the line in
other sectors since early last Fall The
arrival during April and May OF thousands
OF American troops gave the French COM
mander an opportunity to draw these vet.
eran divisions from the com paratively quiet
sectors they were then occupying and fill
their places with the new troops from
across the seas. The plans We're well laid,
and by the first week in July American
troops were to be found from Rheims along
the southern line of the salient to Chateau
Thierry and from the latter place along
the western side OF the salient to scissors.
When the Hun resumed his drive OF July
10. with about half n million troops, every
thing was in readiness for him. In some
places he was permitted 10 cross to tho
south bank OF the Marine before the counter
offensive started: but when it did, his re-
treat was quickly turned into n rout.
Since that time Marshal Foch has not
given the German commanders an idle mo-
ment. II" has continued his hammering
tactics first In one sector and then in an
other. until the German troops have been
compelled To retreat along the whole line.
While the end OF the war is not in sight
it is safe 10 say the Chateau.Thierry
marked the beginning of the end and his

and spirit OF the two American divisions

the open road. 1t was gala day for the
movie man.
Joe had been on the lookout for boche
helmet not the kind one purchases in a
souvenir store, but one taken from real
Hun ivory dome. Now the opportunity pre-
scented itself. y short distance ahead OF
US we saw three German prisoners trudging
along the road followed NV a French sol
der. One of them was wearing a helmet.
and as soon S Joe spied il he whispered
q few words TO Mac, the driver. The next
we knew Joe was leaning out over the
side, and as we whiz2ed by he lifted the
helmet off the Germans head The boche
threw his hands into the air. and when he
found his helmet gone his face broke out
into grin.
We proceeded to n smaller village where
some OF our machine gunncrs We're located.
and while standing there by one OF the
buildings squadron OF fifteen boche
planes appeared overhead. Joe stood the
camera out in the street with the idea OF
getting a picture. He had cranked several
seconds on it. when an officer yelled ont
of window OF one of the buildings: Get
out OF the street, you or they'll be drop
ping something in n minute" We didn't
need a second warning.
On our way back. along the road we saw
one OF our observation Dall6OnS Drought
down, apparently by an enemy aeroplane.
There was n burst of flame from the bag
and in few seconds the observer came
sailing through the air in a parachute.
We were too far away TO see him andSA
Not finding any place to sleep in Ns
sector, we ran around TO the positonV Of
the other division, where we found quar-
tiers in our old hotel.
The position on the hill overlooking
Chateau-Thierry from the south had given
us one good picture, SO we started out the
next morning to see If we could duplicate
1t or get something better But no such
luck We stood our car.'among the trees
and then started down to our old position
in the orchard about two hundred yards
from the car The shells from our own
and the French batteries were screaming
out over cur heads on their way to the
boche lines. The same old balloon, or his
twin brother, lowered OIL the other side
Of the hill. %
VIC had no sooneM aken up our position
on the hill, when we heard shell coming
in II was an entirely different sound. and
when it burst about fifty yards from us,
knew the observer in the Hun balloon had
sighted us, and was sending in his calling
card Ten seconds later another came
along and burs: little nearer. We started
back for the car on run, but about every
twenty yards would drop to get out of the
way OF another bouquet from our friends
on the other hill.

Brilliant Successes.

Throughout yesterday evening ir l the moonlight, the allies continue tirelessly to follow up their splendid successes in Belgium.
 At 9 o'clock this morning Belgian cavalry patrols were reported to be within a kilometer of Thielt.
 Over Half Way Through.
 Previously cavalry was reported to be working toward Thourout. The al- lies were reported to be more than half way through the Wynendael wood this morning and the infantry to have reached a point near Lichter- velde, where on the western fringe of the Harlebeke, they were said to be advancing about 2,0OO yards south west of Ogyhem, all along the north ern outskirts of Courtrai and through the center of Iseghem. Last night the Franco-Belgian infantry were on the general line of Boscheeweter, Eden- walle, Zwoarteget and Haentze, thence to a point 1000 yards east of the Thourout-Roulers road, and to the Wyeendael station by Beve to the south of Iseghem. the Lendelede sta tion, Hulste and Bavinchove to Harl- becke.
 This morning the capture of Bos- cheeweter and Edenwalle seemed to have been confirmed, and Trench troops were reported to be along the railway west of Lichtervelde.
 Important Points Taken.
 1ngelmunster apparently has been occupied and the Courtrai railway reached east of Chappele Ste Gather inc.
 The British were reported to be across the Lys east of Confines, with their posas established beyond La Basserville.
 Yesterday the Germans attacked from Iseghem and forced the Belgian line back to Boschmolens, but coun- ter attack drove them to and beyond their starting point.
 Prisoners and guns continue to be gathered in, but there has been no time to count the latest captures. /

EXPECT LATE LOAN REPOR1ES 10 PUT DISTRICTS OVER .--.-4
 Tabulated Figures Show . Loan at Present Over z Half Way Mark.
 <. GERMAN PRISONERS INVEST IN BONDS
 r. @ Minneapolis District Claims to Be "Over the Top'' With Quota.

Washington Oct 16.-In the face of figures still showing the Fourth Liberty loan only little more than half raised-up to $3,269, ,OO1 ,500-the chief source of hope tonight lay in assurances of campaign managers for each of the twelve districts that their respective fields would prove up when final returns are counted.
 Supporting this attitude was the addition of 5.000,000 to the total, the biggest single days subscription
 This still left $2,730000,O00 to be gathered tomorrow, Friday and Sat urday-three days - $900,00S,e0O a day. ~ssess
 to appear in official reports, at least until Saturday.
 Officials do not expect that big rate
 They believe billion or more will be counted up after the campaign 41as closed Saturday night from the flood of last minute subscriptions.
 But they fear that unless the of- ficially tabulated total runs consid- Crably above the four billion mark on the latest reports Saturday, the loan may fail to reach it's goal.
 When the third loan campaign had but three days to run, the official fi- gules stood at $2.579000,0 900 and in creased to $3,O06. 100000 by the final night.
 The post campaign tabulations ad- ded $1,171 100000, officer estimated would raise to $45.000,000 by the end of the week. "This means,'' said a War De partment official, that the army will buy of this loan double the amount subscribed to the third Liberty loan" :" A telegram received from Fort Og- lethorpe, Ga., stated that numbers of informed German prisoners wished to invest in Fourth Liberty bonds. Per- mission was given by A. M1tcheft Palmer, Alien Property Custodian. Reports from all sections of the country today show that railroad men had subscribed for $109.638,0OO at the close of business Oct. Il, making the actual subscriptions $4,176, 100000. Official reports do not show any federal district above 100 per cent but Minneapolis district managers with recognized showing Of SO per cent, claim they have gathered 1 enough pledges to put them over. The st. Louis district, with So per , cent, still leads all others. New York, Atlanta and Philadelphia are lowest, with percentages Of 47' 4z ana AZ respectively.
