GENEROSITY.

A large husky Scotchman and a
little Frenchman were saving a
large piece of timber for the Bos-
ton subway with crosscut saw,
each in turn pulling it back and
forth. A pugilistic Irishman
stopped to watch the operation.
After a few minutes he strolled up
to the Scotchman and dealt him a
blow saying:
Give the saw to the little man
if he wants it."

Leading French "Ace"
Pays Visit to u. S.
Captain Heurteaux, Who
Brought Down 60 Ger
man Fliers, Here

AN ATLANTIC PORT, March 24.-
Captain Alfred Heurteaux. Frances
foremost flying "acc" since Guynemer's
death, reached this port to-day on a
French liner. Captain Heurteaux, just
turned twenty-four, brings with him
an astounding record of having brought
down sixty machines, twenty-one of
these feats being officially attcsted by
French army observers.
Captain HeurteauX is a short. pink
checked youth, and he wore the brill
iantly colored uniform of the famous
"Stork Squadron" of which he was the
commanding officer He blushed furi-
prefer, to tell how he had won the
numerous medals which covered his
coat.
One Of the medals showed that Cap
tain Heurteaux was not only q men,
Der but an officer of the Legion of
Honor, a signal decoration. He also
wore seventeen palms, two stars, the
Cross Of Leopold and the Belgian War
Cross. The Cross of Leopold was
pinned on his tunic by King Albert of
Belgium in person.
The "Stork Squad,' led by Captain
Heurteaux. is made up of fifteen
French flyers, and has thus far brought
down l55 German machines, an average
OF ten apiece. Their nickname is de-
rived from the painted stork which dec
crates each plane, and distinguishes it
in battle.
Captain Heurtcaux was accompanied
by Lieutenant Max Benoit, who speaks
English well, and acted as interpreter
He said the famous flyer was here on
sick leave, but was intrusted with a
special mission of some Importance
here.
Captain Heurteaux has been wound
ed twice.
Another noted aviator on the liner
was Lieutenant Santiago Campuzano, q
Cuban, who has been flying for the
past two years on the French front.
Miss Anne Morgan was among those
who met the liner when she reached
her pier. Miss Morgan, after staying
for more than an hour, was disappont-
ed when the Countess de Bryas for
whom she had come, was found not to
have embarked on the vessel.

tain will be temporary and achieved at
an incommensurablc loss Of life. The
British, I believe, will retire slowly,
taking as great toll as possible. Then
when the enemy is worn out by its own
efforts the counter attack will come.
II is the general opinion among army
officers that the war cannot be won in
trench fighting, and a decision will be
reached only when the forces come to
grips in the open"
Doubts U-Boat Offensive
Commander C. II. Blakely. Of the
American destroyer O'Bricn, another
passenger, declared there was little
possibility of German U-boat or naval
offensive timed to take place simulta-
neously with the military drive Com
mander Blakeley is making his first
visit here since his ship sank U-boat
last June. He was awarded I'D. S. O."
by the British government for the
achievement, one of the first credited
to an American warship, but was forced
to decline the decoration because of a
ruling OF the Navy Department.
"Thc Germans are doing their damn
1est now with the U-boats, but the sit
uaton is we'll in hand" said Command
er Blakeley. GAS for the German high
seas feet coming out, there is little or
no chance Of that happening"
Commander Blakeley carried with
him, carefully guarded, a portfolio of
papers from Admiral Sims, commander
Of the American naval forces abroad.
He left at once for Washington, where
he will deliver the reports to Secre-
tary Daniels.

Trenches Extending 5 Miles
Back From Front to I Halt Drive
Rows of bitches Dug by British Says English Officer
Counter Attacks Planned When Enemy
Ends His Offensive

AN ATLANTIC PORT, March "a
Row on row of defensive trenches to
a depth of fifteen miles are relied on
to check the great German drive on the
West front, according to British army
ofiicers who arrived here on British
steamship to-day.
According to the military men. whose
names cannot be mentioned because Of
the censorship, the British forces have
been digging the almost endless collec-
ton of bitches in anticipation of the
offensive since last November. In case
these trenches are penetrated to con-
siderable depth, four more miles of
them are in course of construction back
of the first fifteen miles.
Not Surprised at Drive
The British officers received first
word that the we'll advertised drive had
actually started when they landed to-
day, but they expressed no surprise at
the news
"Those fifteen miles of trenches will
hold the Boche," said one of the Off
GERS. because of the complete trench
sys tenn there is no advantage in break
ing through at any one point. The only
way the Germans can advance is by
sweeping back the whole British line,
and they won't do that
"If they pierce the line at one point,
as they seem to have done. they will
suffer the same reverse the British suf-
fered at Cambria, where the attackers
were flanked and routed by the counter
assaults.

Bolsheuiki Are
Playing Into the
Hands of Germany
BY Cable to the Courrlcr des Etats Unisl


PARIS, March 24.-The information
coming from Russia goes to show that
the Germans will settle in that country
without meeting with any resistance on
the part Of the Russian Bolshcvist
government.
The Maximalist press daily taunts the
German government, probably in order
to furnish the latter with pretext
for more energetic intervention. 1t
thus seems that the Bolshevik play
the part of agents provocateurs to stir
up in Germany movement demanding
severer measures.
Should the Allies create centres of
resistance on Russian territory they
are sure to gain numerous adherents,
for the partisans of order received the
Germans as makeshlft. They GER
tainly would prefer to resist them by
supporting an intervention made in the
name of the Allies
