sIRPLANE PROGRAM REBUKED
Senators Say Production Must Be
Speded Up.

Washington, March 27.-F'urious
1ombardments of the administration
suddenly broke out in the Senate
and continued increasingly for three
hours During the most sensational
day in months, senators, tired of the
public being fooled" made startling
disclosures.
Revelations by Gen. Leonard Wood
of conditions on the American front,
the plea of Senator New of Indiana
for publicity, the peril of the fierce
German drive, all brought about the
result.
Senator New, Republican, of Indi-
ana, declared that instead of 10000
combat airplanes being delivered in
France by July 1, as provided in the
original airplane program, the num-
ber will amount to only 81.
Il agree that this is not the time
to discourage the American people, .
said Senator New, discussing the
airplane situation; "but this is no
more the time to mislead the Ameri-
can people, in view of the great task
that is ahead of u.s."

PUT MOOSE ABOUT NECK
North Dakota Citizens Make
Alien Enemy Talk.
Makes Statements Involving Others
Which Are Believed To Be
important.

New England, N. D., March 2S.-
A band of citizens, incensed by ut
terances suggesting pro-German influ-
ences and actions of a suspicious
character, took Joe Arnold, proprietor
of jewelry store here, from his
home
They blindfolded him, led him to the
banks of the Cannon Ball river and
after placing a rope around his neck
gave him his choice either to tell of
some of the alleged enemy activities
or take the consequences that would
follow his refusal.
Arnold, who lis an alien enemy, is
said to have made statements, which,
if they are substantiated, will result
in several persons being brought into
the United States district court.
Feeling Is Intense.
Feeling here is intense. Arnold is
said to have confessed to disloyal
secret meetings held in New England
and to have given the names of per.
sons connected with the meetings.
W. T. Loomis of this city, was told
that Arnold had burned two soldier
pictures of the sons of Mrs. Loomis,
and another framed picture of the
boys at the border Then it was
rumored that the recent roundhouse
fire here was of incendiary origin
Suspicion rested on Arnold, who was
away from his home that night. An
Indignation meeting was held and
Arnold was rounded up and given the
biggest scare Of his life. Another
man mentioned by Arnold was ques
toned After comparing the answers
of both men it was considered that
real evidence was obtained.

counts of mysterious shells falling in
Paris. "If the Germans really have
built a 70-mile long range gun it

With the American Army in France

They worked their way across No
Mans Land and leaped into Ger
man trench. They found it empty.
The two Americans carried rifles,
bayonets fixed and hand grenades.
They proceeded to new communicat-
ing trenches, penetrating several
hundred yards into the enemy lines
and then encountered a party of a
dozen or 15 Germans at the entrance
of a dugout.
Spotted BY Foe.
The enemy spotted them" at the
same time, but the Americans threw
hand grenades which burst before the
Germans opened fire. Then the two
Yankee officers ducked around the
corner of the trench and opened fire
with their rifles while the Germans
lobbed over grenades at them.
The two Americans retraced their
steps, firing continually, killing three
Germans and wounding others. The
enemy did not pursue them closely,
owing to the Americans hot fire. In
the meantime other Germans tried
to leave the front line at other points
and intercept the two invaders while
the latter were returning.
But American machine guns from
across No Mans Land. made these
Germans duck for cover and so the
two American officers returned safe
and sound to our lines.
