With the American Army in France,
March S.-An American patrol of five
men three nights ago outfought an
enemy patrol of ten men.
TEey met in No Mans Land and the
Americans opened fire. The Germans

a sharp skirmish.
The enemy retreated, leaving two

were made prisoner. The American

Officers report despite the fact the
Germans fired many shells to prepare
the way for the raid not a single ene-

it out The American automobile RI
fles, machine guns and rifles stopped
the Germans in their tracks.
The American troops which have
taken up their position on the Lor-
ra!re front were billited in towns
back of the lines when they suddenly
received orders to move to the front.
They were transported in motor
tracks ever roads an inch deep In
dust. Streams Ct cannon, trucks and
motorcycles raised clouds Of dust
which stuck to the men and made
their clothes, faces and equipment
gray by the time they had reached
the towns close to the firing line from
which they marched to their position
during the night.
They found Themselves in a section
where the ground rose in slight
grades. In some cases the enemy
lines were half a mile away. Al
though this was the first time the
Americans had been in the trenches,
the units from various parts of the
United States, quickly adapted them
selves to their new surroundings.
Luckily. the weather was fine the first
few days, but for some time past until
Wednesday snow and rain have con-
iinuously fallen in this sector, as 1t
has in the American positions north
west of Toul.
Due to the fact the ground is fairly
high, the trenches are not continuous,
because that is unnecessary, and they
have remained fairly dry. The Amerf-
can patrols have been operating night
ly in conjunction with the French and
have worked between the lines with
the greatest freedom. The artillery
has been only intermittently active.

every hour.

they would ever grow into great tall
pines.
On tiny hill overlooking big
white house and a garden which in the
summer was filled with flowers, stood
two enormous pines opposite each 9th
er One was called Grandfather Pine
Tree and the other Grandmother Pine
Tree.
From their hill they saw so many
things happening. They watched the
garden being planted every spring,
they saw the flowers coming up. First
one group of flowers would appear and
then another. And that was the way
it went along all through the summer.
Different flowers seemed to have
their different times, and each time
seemed lovelier than the last, as
though the flowers tried to say,
1--WE know beautiful posies have
gone before US, but we want to be
loved, oh we do, we do indeed" And
then they would smile and turn their
lovely heads up to the sun, and he
would shine down lovingly upon them
and they would become so beautiful,
so very beautiful.
All this the pine trees had seen, and
in the springtime they always saw the
blossoms on the pear trees, TIE wild
cherry trees, and the apple trees.
Later on they would see tiny fruits
appearing, and how the robins loved
the wild cherry trees. Such feasts as
<r;x- CI1nb ahirpinO an6
singing and merry-making in Bird
land!
Then they would see the trees have
bigger leaves, and still later on they
| would see these leaves painted by Mr..
| Jack Frost and the Autumn Paint
club. Oh, such colors as they would
| become! How Grandfather and Grand
mother Pine Tree did love to see them.
| Soon though the leaves would begin
! to fall from the trees and they would!

snow come, and the garden below was
covered by a great blanket of snow.
The green lawn was no longer green
1t too was quite white. And the white
house and the white snow all around
it looked so very beautiful, the pine
trees thought.
| So this year more pine trees had
| been planted, because people realized
that the pine trees were green all the

Two little pine trees were planted
between the two big ones. They were
so tiny, and this Grandfather and
Grandmother Pine Tree were very,
very tall, even for pine trees.

they would try their hardest to grow

grandfather and grandmother saw
each year.

LIBERTY BOND LOAN MAKES GRAND FINISH
 ON DOUGLAS ISLAND

DOUGLAS, May 6.-With $6,700 oversubscribed the sale of the Third Issue of Liberty Bonds closed here Saturday evening. making a flying finish and a splendid record for the Island and more especially for the working men of Treadwell.
 Attorney R. E. Robertson of Ju- neau, came over Saturday evening when, accompanied by Banker A. R. Gurr, they visited the Treadwell messhouse at the dinner hour and Mr. Robertson made short address to the men. The result was that applications for bonds amounting to $3,800 were made as rapidly as Mir. Gurr could fill them out. Many of those signing applications and paying over money were foreigners by birth but patriotic Americans by principle.
 The majority of the people here were loyal to their own community and purchased their bonds at home and they will all feel pride in the Honor Flag when it is unfurled, their loyalty to country and home town being instrumental in securing it.
