How Germans Treat French Homes.

Baroness Huard, an American girl who
married a Frenchman, says in an article
in the August American Magazine:
Compared with what happened else
where, the story of our little village is
actually a bright onel The evacuation
was so hurried at that point that the
Germans did not have time for their
usual systematic and atrocious work Of
destruction. However, the nine days
they spent there were black enough.
"The officers and the soldiers made
victims of every woman in the village
from little girls of only ten years, to old
women who were so afflicted physically
that any man should have pitied them,
even if he did not feel repulsion toward
them. This / say out Of my own knowl-
edge, for it happened in my village and
these women and little girls were per-
sonally known to me. Mine was only
one OF hundreds of towns to which the
Germans came; and, as | said before, its
story Is one of the least horrible But
bring it home TO yourselves; if you
want to know the kind Of enemies we
are fighting. How would you like them
to come to your town."

INCOME TAX REVENUE
INCREASED EIGHT FOLD
But There Was a Wide Variation in the
Rate of Increase in the States-Mid-
die Western Section Showed
Least Increase.

Washington, d. G., July 27.--Wide va.
ration in the yield of income and excess
profits taxes in different states this year,
as compared with income tax payments
last year, was shown by tabulstious of
the internal revenue bureau. Eight times
as much revenue was received from these
sources this year as last in the entire
country, the comparative figures being
s2,S2l 100000 and 1858, 900, 900, yet the
increase by states ranged from 90 times
for Idaho, Utah and Montana, TO Is
times for Mississippi, Alabama and West
Virginia
New York state ranked first in the
volume of income and excess profits
taxes returned this year, yet the increase
over last years yield was only five and
one-third times
Tax officials, it is said, have found it
impossible TO draw definite conclusions
concerning tax eyasions from the tabu-

m.l-By Associated Press The Franco
American forces on the front northeast
of Chateau Thierry have driven the Ger

Randolph
BODY RECOVERED
AFTER AN HOUR
Girl Was 16, and She Came
from Newark, N. J.-Her
Mother Is on the Way

Randolph, July 27.-Miss Barbara
Cummings of Newark, N. j., was
drowned while bathing in Lake 'Mafe-
ba," about a mile east of this village,
yesterday. She was accompanied to the
lake by boy OF younger years. When
the girl did not return for dinner a
search was started and presently the
boy returned with the statement that
the girl had been in bathing and had bees
under water for some time.
The alarm was given and help was
called from the village, the body being
found early in the afternoon. 1t is
thought that the body had been in the
water an hour or more.
Miss Cummings had arrived in town
only on Thursday, having preceded her
mother here short time. She was to
pass some time with the family of Mr.
and Mrs. A. j. Wilson on the fox farm.
She was 10 years of age. She had been
much in the family of the Wilson's, and
the death was great shock to them as

Harvey johnson, boy who fought in
the trenches, tells his experience as a
stretcher bearer in the August American
Magazine. He says.
ut isn't easy to carry a stretcher across
ground that has been all ripped to pieces.
You can't go round all the shell holes,
there are so many of them. When we
came to one, the bearer ahead would
hold the bars away up above his head,
while the one at the back went down
on his knees, just to keep the wounded
man level and comfortable.
"Geei You know you can't make a
fellow suffer any more than he's got tol
used to remember how, when | had
that smash in England, they carried me
on a stretcher. And / remember how
they tried to make it easy for me. So
when | was doing the same for some
other fellow, tried to do him good
turn, too"

Along the western side of the German
salient there is no official mention of
events of especial Importance during last
night 1t is reported that French and
Americans were attacking the enemy
this morning, centering their efforts on
the work of clearing the Germans out of
the wooded areas to the south and south
west OF Fere -en. Tardenois. This was
said to have been nearly accomplished.
In spite of the general expectation
that the Germans are fighting on the
southern side of the salient to cover the
retreat of their armies and the salyaging
of the vast supplies piled up along the
Marne in preparation for the great of
fensive which began on July 10, there
appears to be a disposition on the part
of some of the military experts TO, con
slider the possibility of new German at
tack somewhere on the battle line be-
tween scissors and Rheims. The stub
born manner in which the enemy has
been fighting, and his failure to attack
on some other sector points, it is con-
tended, is due to the fact that the Ger

siye along the Marne in the hope of still
winning a victory there.
Along the British front, near Arras
and Lens, and along the Somme sector
the German artillery has been active
British raiding parties have been active
at various points along their lines.
All the ground gained along the Marne
in the onslaught of July 10 has been
lost to the Germans except stretch of
eight miles. East of Rheims, in Cham
pagne, General Gouraud has been busy
and has reoccupied his former first line
east of the Suippes. The advance meas
ures more than 500 yards on front of
over 10 miles and includes the recapture
of the Main de Massiges. In the opera
tion the French took 800 prisoners.
Paris last night also reported the cap
ture of 700 Germans on the western flank
of the salient, making total of 1900
The latest estimate of German prisoners
taken since July is is 10000.
British airmen in the past week have
accounted for 81 enemy machines, while
cursions into Germany were made and
losing 81. Long distance raiding was the
greatest during the war. Twenty five in.

improvement by some people"

Vegetable Protein for Chickens.

Among the poultry experiments now
being conducted on the government farm
at Beltsville, Md, are a number of feed
ing tests in which the value of vegetable
protein is being compared with beef
scrap. One pen of chickens fed mash
containing 20 per cent beef scrap pro-
dueed in five and one-half months an
average of SO eggs per hen. Another pen
fed mash consisting of 10 per cent pea
nut meal and 10 per cent beef scrap pro-
duced an average of 53.4 eggs per hen
during the same period The hens in a
third pen fed mash consisting Of
10 per cent soy bean meal and 10 per
cent beef scrap averaged 444 eggs for
the period. In other pens cottonseed
meal and velvet bean meal were fed as
part substitute for beef scrap with the
result that the hens produced a fair egg
yield, though not as high as the hens in
the first pen mentioned.

be restored.

With the American Army in France,
July 26 (By the Associated Press. -
German soldiers who have deserted into
the American lines on the Lorraine front
have made disclosures, indicating that
news of the great American effort is
slowly fltering into some sections of the
German army, despite the official effort
to belittle American participation in the
war.
One prisoner said he had heard there
were only 100000 Americans in France.
Others, however, declared they knew the
figure totalled 100000, a majority of
whom were brought TO France "for other
purposes"
From the deserters it was learned also
that the three landwher groups in Ger
many had been examined carefully for
fresh material to throw onto the western
front.
On their own initiative the deserters
have enabled the Americans to establish
not only the exact makeup of the enemy
opposite them but to keep track of the
shifts on the other side.
