BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies in the
Field, May 31.-From every point of
the sixty-mile battle front between
Rheims and scissors streams of refu-
gees today poured down roads lead
ing to central France-fleeing the
Hun invasion.
Late last night. when I returned
from the fighting line, where the
homes of these people are being en-
quilted, the highways were bordered
with the bivouacs of fugitives. For
miles upon miles the rolling country
side was all a-flicker with tiny camp
fires of the refugees. On their weary
march to God knows where, they tar
ried for rest wherever night found
them, sleeping beneath vehicles; the
lucky ones who had thought to bring
a little food cooking and eating it I'M
der the stars.
The streams of fleeing humanity
made a pitiful spectacle. Each road
seemed to have it's own particular
caravan. and the whole scene re-
sembled the exodus of the Children of
Israel from Egypt, as it is described
T. the Bible.
Every conceivable vehicle was in
use, from huge two wheeled French
farm wagons hauled by oxen, to baby
carriages. These OK carts are capable
of transporting the effects Of an en-
tia household.

NO TIME TO STRIKE.
McAdoo Urges Railway Men to Rea-
lie Duty in War.

Washington, May 31.-Railway en-
ployes were reminded by Director
General McAdoo last night that they
are employees of the United States in
time of war and that strike means a
blow at their own government and the
hampering of transportation essential
to protect the hundreds of thousands
of American boys fighting on the bat
tie fields of Europe.
A few days ago several hundred
machinists and shopmen at Alexan-
dria, Va, left their posts in southern
railroad shops in protest against small
increases given them under the direc-
tor generals new scale of higher
wages and there have been threats of
a general walkout of union shopmen
next Monday unless substantial
further pay advances are forthcoming
before that time.
Will Remain Firm.
In a telegram to the heads of all
labor unions having shopmen among
their members, Mr.. McAdoo gave
notice that the government cannot be
coereed or inundated, and called
upon railroad men to remain at their
duty and rely upon him and the new
board of railroad wages and working
conditions for just consideration of
their claims. He asked the union
leaders to urge upon their men by
wire the wisdom and patriotism of
this course.

AIREDALE DOG is
MOST KNOWING
FOR WAR WORK

Chicago, May 31.-The Airedale. a
shaggy: sad-eyed dog that gained pop
only in recent years, has con-
WINGED officers of the central depart
ment, signal corps, United States
army, of its superiority over all breeds
as canine war messenger.
While official authorization for use
of the Airedale on the battfefelds of
Europe has not yet been issued by
war department, schools for intensive
courses in training have been estab-
lished and officers say that reports
from the various army camps show
that the dogs have made remarkable
progress.
The Airedale surpassed all other
dogs in point of intelligence and, altho
peaceful, is also most Courageous"
said one officer. Tests have estab-
lishedi beyond doubt its superiority
over other dogs as a war messenger,
particularly those used by the Ger
man~army.
The Aireda1e is a cross from a bull
terrier, otter hound and a Berkeley
terrier. 1t is a result of years of care
full breeding and its name, it is said,
is derived from the Aire valley of
England, where 1t originated"

CAUGHT WITH BOOZE.
John and Ida Brownen Had 12O Pfnts
in an Auto.

John and Ida Brownell, EOS Madi-
son street, said by officials to be well
known in connection with court house
affairs, were arrested Thursday after
noon by Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and
Robert Miller, undersheriff. The
Brownelrs had in their possession 120
pints of whisky valued at $3.50. The
motor touring car in which they were
hauling the liquor was also confis-
Gated.
The arrest of the Brownells was
made on the East Fourth street road.
According to Larimer they were try
ing to make a delivery" to a wagon
which the officers were watching.
They did not see the officers until
they were close to the sheriffs car.
Ida Brownen Jumped from her seat
and ran. She was promptly pursued
by Miller, who demonstrated all the
traits of a crack track man despite
his 200 odd pounds, and quickly over
took the fugitive.

FOCH PLAYS FOR STRATEGY
Loss Of Ground Means Little in
the End.
Important Thing Is Not To Play
Into Hun Hands.
F0CH PLAYS FOR STRATEGY
BY J.. w. T. MASON.

New York May 31.-General Foch
is holding the German advance on
both TANKS, while Won Hindenburg
continues to move forward slowly. in
ated a dangerous Salient that will
compel the Germans to protect their
newly heightened lines by an un-
usually large number of troops which
they can ill afford.
Re-establishment of the French
front protecting Rheims and the con-
tinued holding of the outlets from
scissors by French units are the most
important developments of the past
twenty-four hours.
The Germans must secure full pos
session of scissors, and especially
Rheims, with their immediate en-
virons, if Hindenburg is to find any
reasonable degree of security for his
new lines. As long as General Foch
can hold his present positions on
these wings, the Germans must rest
very uneasily.
A Minor Blow on Disc.
Won Hindenburg's advance north
west of scissors is not in immediate
relationship with the Marine offensive.
1t is a new local drive, along front
of not more than five miles and is
twenty-five miles north of the Ger
man wedge moving toward the Marine.
Soissons, beyond Blerancourt and
Epagny would carry Won Hindenburg
in the direction of Compeigne :
At Compeigne the Aisne flows into
the Disc river, which latter runs
southwark to the Seine and so to
Paris.
If Won Hindenburg can reach
Compeigne he will be in favorable
position to secure control of the Aisne
west of scissors for a new defensive
line. This is probably the ultimate
strategic purpose of the Blerancourt-
Epagny movement
Situation One of Strategy.
The situation now facing General
Foch in its essential strategy, is the
same as that which he met during the
Picardy- Flanders offensive. He can
stop the German advance any time he
desires by throwing in the major part
Of his reserves and the American
troops now in France. But. to do this.
would be to play Won Hindenburg's
game. 1t would mean accepting an
offensive battle on Won Hindenburg's
terms. This is what General Foch is
trying to avoid.
The loss of ground is unimportant.
compared with avoiding submission to
Won Hindenburg's own plans of cam
paign. In this respect, which is the
most important, from the standpoint
of democracy's ultimate victory,
events are progressing satisfactorily.

A FLYER
American Airman Saved Grip

Drove Two German Planes Off

(By the Associated Press.)

With the American Army in France,
Wednesday, May 29.-Lieut Douglas

Just before they all crossed behind
the American line one of the British
machines became separated from the
party and was attacked by two Ger
man Albatross machines.
The British observer had been
wounded by the machine gun fire of
the Germans who were about to. finish
the Britisher when Lieutenant Camp

chine gun at the Germans and the
enemy replied but Campbelrs fire be-
came SO hot for the Germans that
they withdrew. Lieutenant Campbell
then escorted the British machine to
safety behind the American lines.
