CHILDREN IN WAR ZONE

With the American Army in France,
Tuesday, Feb. 5.-American artillery
kept up continuous fire on the en-
emy batteries throughout Tuesday,
and the Germans responded, with the
result that there was lively shelling
along the entire sector. At the same
time the American anti.aircraft guns
were busy repelling attempts Of enemy
airmen to cross over the American
lines. Two German airplanes finally
abandoned the attempt.
A member of the military police to-
day found three little French children,
girl and two boys, wandering along
a road Immediately behind the front,
which is shelled frequently by the en-
emy, and is considered very danger
Gus. He turned the children over to
an ambulance driver, who returned
them to their homes in nearby vii.

WINE

Tough luck dogged the steps of a.
resident of a small town east Of Bis.

marck. In some means he saccumu-
lated while here several quarts of
grain alcohol and numerous jars and
bottles of fine homemade wine. Then
he slipped, and the suitcase with its
valuable load struck the sidewalk with
a thud. Two of the bottles were
broken, and a rich, fruit odor floated
out over the landscape. The owner
of this precious cargo picked up his
suitcase and beat it for cover, but
several blocks distant familiar tick
ling sensation assaulted the nostrils
of Night Officer Jensen: He followed
his nose, and pinched the suitcase,
just as it was about to disappear with
its owner. Now Judge Bleckreid is
in quandry. The homemade wine
undoubtedly is spurious, but he
doesn't know that 1t was illegally in
troduced into the state, nor again that
it was manufactured here in violation,
of state and federal statutes. The al.
cohol, however, coming all the way
from Cincinnati, plainly is contraband
and subject to confiscatiOn.

Washington, d. G., Feb. G,-Secre-

committee on his picture of the state

congressional critics have attacked as

But the principal point of the whole

because Secretary Baker did not have
the detailed figures to show the COM
mittee on what basis he made his as
