Americans, Trapped by
Own Barrage, Escape

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Feb. 5.--(Delayed. )--Facing
death from their own artillery, a hand
full of Sammies, trapped by an American
barrage near the Boche trench Monday
night, made their way through the rain
Of shells back to the safety of the
American lines.
1t is sometimes necessary to risk sac
rihcing a few to save many. On Monday
night the handful of Sammies, forming
patrol, was investigating the damage
done to the German trench wires by
Sunday nights bombardment. An Ameri-
can rocket signal from an adjacent sec
tor suddenly called for a barrage. The
rain of death started Immediately. The
little patrol was up against 1.-THE men
facing death from their own shells. They
resolved to make a dash for safety.
Spreading out in open formation, they
gradually made their way back to their
own trenches through their own bar
rage, taking refuge from the explosions
in shell holes and depressionS in No
Mans Land.
Dodging, ducking and making short
rushes across the shell-swept terrain,
the Americans finally reached their lines
and leaped over their parapets. The eX-
pected { orman attack, in anticipation of
which the barrage was signalled for,
due to the promptness and precision of
the American barrage.
All day today the american artillery
was fairly active. Machine guns chat
tered periodically along the whole Amer
lean sector. The enemy threw over his
regular quota of pineapple bombs and
rifle grenades. German shells were scat
tered over the Americans supply and
transport organizations in the rear.
Photographs taken by aviators show
that Saturday evenings American bar
rage greatly damaged the enemy front
lines The damage has already been
partly repaired. Nevertheless the shelled
German areas are not yet entirely habit
able
The army paymasters visited the
American artillery units today. With
shouts of welcome, the Sammies scram-
bled from their bombproofs and lined
up to receive their money. Few drew
more than $40, owing to the allotments
of their salaries which they have set
aside fof Liberty bond installments.

their parish walls. They were en-
couraged by propagandists to preach
"the holy fathers peace"
That is an appeal for peace which
was built by propagandists upon the
structure of the Pope's latest peace let
ter. Meanings were read into 1t that It's
reverend author certainly never intended.
A prayer chain" for peace covered all
Italy. No doubt nine-tenths of those
who prayed for THE Pope's Peace"
were sincere men and women who only
hoped to put an end to bloodshed and
to call back the wanderers to their
homes. But the effect upon the men in
the trenches was disastrous.
An element of enemy propaganda which
plainly bears marks of enemy handiWork
was in the distribution of forged news
papers to the men in the trenches the
day before the day set for the strike.
The Corriere della Sera and the Giornale
doItalia are two of the most widely read
papers in Italy. One morning huge
bundles of newspapers came TO most of
the second army's trenches. Today 1T
is said they were dropped by Austrian
airplanes. A far more probable story
is that they came from behind the lines.
British cavalry raiding Naples and
shooting down women and children IN
the streets"
French soldiers have sacked Turin
and have set fire to Genoa"
These were two Of the stories printed
in these forged papers.
The imitation in paper and print was
so excellent as to completely deceive the
unskilled readers who picked out these
| horrifving stories by the light of a flick
ering campfire.
Invariably the regiment from Sicily
herd that Siciliau homes were being in
vaded, and the regiment from Turin re-
ceived the papers which told of the MUIR
ders in Turin. If there had been. a
doubt before Of the success of the
STRIKE" propaganda these forged papers
removed it, The men were determined
! to go home and see for themselves.
But there was no doubt before. The
| journalistic forgeries only removed the
| last probability of resistance to the
enemy forces on the morning of October
| %. 1t may be that some of the Aus
| TRAN negotiators were sincere in their
ego home and end the war" plan. There
are Italians who believe they were. But
they were given no opportunity to put
| it in effect
The night before the day on which
the collapse was to have taken place
the negotiating Austrians were quietly
removed from their trenches Their
places were filled with Germans, to
whom general orders had been issued in
structing them as to the positions to be
| assaulted:
press on as rapidly as possible "
these orders red. You will meet with
| no resistance"
O nthe morning of October % the
duped italians threw down their arms
and green-gray columns rushed for
ward along the key-roads of the Italian
positions The whole Italian army was
outflanked. Withdrawal became an inn
perative necessity. Before noon the re-
| treat had become a frantic rout.

80 VAIN EFFORT TO
,-iTTlE AMERICAN POWER.
'oster Widely Circulated In Kaiser's
Empire, and Reproduced In This
Country, Shows Morale Of Huns Is
Being Shattered.

A poster recently issued by the i'm
periai German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
In the war and thus strengthen the
morale Of her people form the text of
one Of the most striking pieces of lltera-
ture that the bureau of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use In the forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The title Of the poster is "Can
America's Entry Make decision of the
War" Integral sections Of 1t attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war. and that the U-bOats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean. A French
poster also Is reproduced in the Ger
man poster and the meaning so twisted
as to make 1t appear that France is
very badly in need of food.
Two millions of the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
In various parts of the country, par
ticuiarly In theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets. indica-
tive Of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in
his right hand. In his left hand Uncle
Sam carries banner which bears the
inscription, america threatens to
send transport of one-half million men.
But it cannot ship them" Below
Uncle Sam are these words: ut is
impossible for America to train and
fit out In time for the European war n
suitable and sufficiently large army
aud provide 1t with the necessary re-
endorsements" The catchline of this
section Of the poster is "Russia's army
cs millions could not down Germany"
and on the skirt of the Russian SOL
dier's overcoat are printed these
words: Russia used up altogether
fifteen million men In vain"
