SHOWER OF SHELLS

LA PANNE, Belgium, Sept. 1-Con-
gressmen Hicks Of New York, oli'er
of Alabama, Wilson OF Texas and
four others had a narrow escape from
death yesterday at Ypres, where they
were visiting the Lattle front.
The party was caught in bonn
bardment at "Hellflre Corner which
is constantly under a perfect range
from the German. guns. A four-inch
shell exploded 200 yards away. and
second crashed only 100 yards away.
Shells were dropping thick and fast
upon the street along which the
party was moving.
German sniperS were hring win
one machine gun and rifles, but the
stumps Of walls protected the WIS.,
itors, who jumped into an automobile
and fed at a rate of sixty miles an
hour. Just when they were about 100
yards away three shrapnel bursts
sprayed the spot where the au'omo-
bile had been parked few minutes
before.

HAM AND CHAUNY
TAKEN BY ALLIES

Occupation OF Ham and Chauny, two
key positions in front OF the lower end
OF the Hindenburg line, by French
forces. was among the chief develop
ments in the unbroken series Of allied
successes over night.
The situation on the battle field early
today follows:
British and French forces, that forced
a crossing Of the Somme river south OF
Peronne. have advanced seven miles,
capturing numerous villages.
South Of this sector. in the region OF
the Ailette, the French are steadily
smashing the defences Of the left end Of
the Hindenburg line and have occupied
all OF the low half OF the Coucy forest
American forces south OF the Aisne
have widened their zone Of operations,
advancing toward the northeast in the
district Immediately west of Rheims.
In Flanders, notably southeast Of
Ypres, the British have extended their
lines. The German war office admits
British advance on the Flanders front
The area southwest OF Laon has be-
come the vital scene OF fighting.
II Is estimated that the French are
scarcely eleven miles from Laon
fortress. They have probably crossed
the coucyle-Chateau Tergnier road,
in the sector OF Petit-Barisie and are
driving on the Anizy-le-Chateau-la-
INere road, meanwhile rolling up the de-
lenses OF the Hindenburg line

TO FIGHT GERMANY
AS RESULT OF VOW

CAMP MEADE, Nd, Sept. T.-Sergt.
Raphael Conn. of the medical supply
depot, who got into the army in spite
of his forty-ive years, came with a
vow he took years ago that he would
not miss a chance to night against
Germany no matter what nation
might wage the war. Conn has a
little family quarrel with the Kaiser's
empire that dates back to 1S4S. His
father, now long dead, was a Ba-
varian of the party that sought to
save Germany from the blight OF
kaiserism and Prussianism. \ price
was put upon his fathers head. but
his father. along with other liberty
loving Germans, fed to this country.
With such a father, Conn sought
adventure wherever he could find IT.
and in Central America he found the
life he enjoyed. As the agent for
the United Fruit Company and for
the Blueileids Steamship Company.
and later in business for himself, he
made the acquaintance OF many Of
the statesmen and leaders of the
countries. As for war. he saw lot
of that, and some OF his closest
friends fell in battles or from bullets
in mysterious hands.
Conn has seen enough OF revolu-
tons TO know how they start, and
as an observer of such movements he
feels that the people OF Germany will
fnd the way to carry out a revolu-
ton. He feels certain that the two
Kaisers will be overthrown in less
than year, and that the allied march
to Berlin will be a march of triumph.
with the people welcoming the armies
as deliverers.

ATTACH RENT LAW
TOFOOD MEASURE

Chairman Lever OF the House Com
mittee on Agriculture, in connection
with other members of that commit
tee, will soon take up tae question
OF what action Is to be ordered In the
matter of the Pomerene amendment
to the food production bill, intended
to provide for a renIal adminlstra-
tion in Washington.
The food production bill, which has
just passed the Senate, carries, among
other important amendments, tie one
relating to profiteerins in rentals in
the District The same bill carries the
dry amendment to make the nation
bone dry" after Juy L.
Dinerenees with Senate.
It is expected the bill will be refer
red to the committee on agriculture
and later will be sent to conferences.
Because Of the sharp differences be-
tween the House and Senate over leg
islation regarding rentals here. con-
siderable time will probably be re-
quired to reach an adjustment be-
tween the two houses.
An effort will be made to put the
Johnson bill to tax profiteering in
rentals out OF existence on the food
production bill as an amendment.
Chairman Johnson, OF the District
Committee, though he will not be one
of the conferees, will be a strong fac
tor in the action OF the House. Chair
man Lever, of the Committee on Ag-
riculture, has already announced that
he will consult Mr.. Johnson
Many Complaints Made.
The prospects for positive action on
the rental question here are strength
ened by the fact that House members
and Senators are receiving many
complaints from tenants in Washing
ton to the effect that landlords are
trying to increase rentals, despite the
Salisbury resolution.
An indication OF the feeling was
given In the Senate Friday when the
Thomas resolution was adopted ask
ing the President to transfer to other
cities from Washington such bureaus,
divisions and subdivisions OF de-
partments as could perform their
functions elsewhere as well as here. |
This resolution is in the form of
a request, but Senator Thomas and
other Senators think II will have |
weight at the White House.

fies this. A note was attached to the
baby to the effect that Mrs. Dove
would be paid SIS q month for keep

"Dearie" penciled on it
The Doves grew attached to the

the Fairfax authorities they would
take out papers OF adoption for the
infant. others OF Fairfax claim to
have read the note on the band which
was on the baby's wrist.

PARIS, Sept. THE British are
blamed for starting the plague OF
initials that are used to designate
various personages. persons, and
branches of the service over here.
There Is only one man in France who
approves OF the custom He's q
sergeant OF camions. Here's why he
favors the initial system
He was hurrying along the road
during the latest offensive in charge
OF an important convoy. Ahead Of
him he saw dim shapes, blocking the
road with what appeared to be q
bit OF artillery. The sergeant was
bent upon business.
Get the hell out Of the way" he
yelled.
!%whazzat, whazzatT'' spluttered an
indignant voice.
Il said" repeated the sergeant with
deadly calm for you to get the hell
out OF the way"
Then the indignant voice detached
itself from the artillery. It belonged
to q fuIl-hedged American captain.
The sergeant appreciated the difn-
Guilty Immediately. He hoped from
the canton into brisk attention.

DRAFT OFFICIALS
MAY WEAR KHAKI

A movement is afoot to put In uni
form the members and doctors on
local and district draft boards.
That they are performing actual
military service Is granted. Those
urging the plan suggest that the uni
form would tend to give the boards
a broader responsibility and dignity
than they now possess.
Many doctors, for instance, are CIV
ing long hours free, performing a
service that is distinctly vital to the
military establishment. They incline
to feel that they should go into the
army proper. Lacking that, they be-
lieve that their tasks now are such
that the Government would be war
rented in putting them in khaki as
draft board members
