 FIRE IN BELGIUM
Two Heroines Live for Three and Half Years in Dugout Within Range
 of Guns

London April .-(Correspondence of Associated Press )-The Baroness T'Serclaes and Miss Mairi Chisholm, two English women who have lived in a dugout on the Belgian front far three and a half years, caring for the Belgian troops, and who are known throughout the Belgian army as the Good women of Pervyse," have ar rived in London. suffering from the effects of a gas attack on the Belgian front in the recent fighting there. Both have been seriously i'll, but are now sufficiently recovered to be admitted to a convalescent hospital here.
 We were accustomed to lombard ment," said the baroness in an inter- view" and our dugout has been hit a hundred times since we lived there But in this last attack the shelling was more dreadful than we have ever known.
 '1t was early one morning after 2 night-long bomhardment that we de- cided to venture out, knowing that there would be many wounded need ing our care. While we were dressing I heard a shell burst outside our dug out, and a moment later I found our
  ridor. l rushed up to see what I could do for him when suddenly I felt as if a rope had been fastened around my neck.
 T could not breathe and was aoso- lutely helpless. Miss Chisholm, too was in agonies. My little dog Shot who had been with us for three years came up and looked at me with won- dering eyes. licked my hand and died I don't think I had ever before felt that I actually hated my enemy, but ever since my dog was gassed I have longed above all else to kill a Ger man!
 "It was only about half an hour be- fore we were taken away in an am- bulance. The ambulance was smashed by a shell after quarter of a mile and we were picked up again and talk en in big truck to base hospital We were there several days before we were able to be moved to London"
 The TWO "women of Pervyse" have been the only women who have been permitted to live and work at the Bel gian front. Hundreds of volunteers American and British, have asked to he allowed to help them, but the Bel gian command would not even allow third woman at Pervyse.

Florence, June s-(Special.) 1.-The first American hero, Homer Givens, of this city, has recovered from the wounds received in battle November 5, and it is likely tl4at he is now engaged with his regiment, the Sixteenth infantry, in the huge battle in progress along the Marne. In a recent letter to relatives here Givens said: q was in a bad shape once, but managed to get through all right" He tells in a modest way of having re- ceived the Croix de Guerre, which re- gently was conveyed to his father, Franklin Givens, at Florence, by Major George W. Simmons, director of the southwestern division, American Red Cross.
 Tt is a great honor which I appreciate very much,' says the letter. T also have the honor of being the first Amer iean wounded in the battlefield, which is an honor well worth remembering to my oldest day"
 The citation in orders aecomnanyins the cross of honor which was delivered by Major Simmons at the request Of Sergt. Homer Givens is translated as follows:
 "Eighteenth Division-Announcem of order of the division. No. 4627. Gen. eral Bordeaux, commander of the Eight eenth infantry division, announces as the order of the division that Corporal Homer Givens, Company F, Sixteenth infantry, T.. s.

Behind the Gray Wolf hunts the pack, Each of the millions, to track, Steel-gray bristles every back From the Prussian wilds come forth. Their fangs are dripping with human blood, There is blood the threshold and blood in the wooo There IS blood in the trenches and blood the flood, And the earth is black with the dead. Afar re-echoes the long drawn howl The pack is running, Jowl by jowl, The stench of the slain makes the thick air foul, While the rivers with blood run red At childrens throats their fangs have torn The mother weeps her babe was born, And breast-masmed madens vail at morn, In the path ot the Wolf,s attack. Though he wear the shape of man by day A Wolf at night, with the lust to slay- Can yet treaties make with a Were-Wof Gray, Or live at peace with his his pack?

sponsihle for the staging of the en-
tire series of remarkable features. and
Jeanne MACPHERSON. who wrote the
scenarios for the six photoplays.
The selection of appropriate vehi-
cles for the noted star has been a
serious problem, but the great sue
cess of the Farrar films bespeaks we'll
for the judgment of the producers,
who have based the stories on big
themes, the more recent of which,
THE Woman God Forgot" and Joan
the Woman" created the new epoch
in cinema art.
THE Devil Stone" is a story OF
weird fascination which presents Miss
Farrar in a modern role. based upon
the big theme superstition, brought
down from ancient folk lore and in

modern woman.
The same supporting last which
has appeared to excellent advantage
in previous Farrar films is seer in
this latest photoplay. including Wal
