CONGRESSMAN TIMBERLAKE
TELLS OF TRIP TO TRENCHES

A gripping story of his visit to the
front line trenches. where he crept
low behind painted sacks, the only
shields against the shells of the Huns,
With crsters made by exploded shells
about him, was told by Congressman
Charles B. Timberlake in Sterling re-
esatly.
Mr.. Timberlake spoke for two hours
recounting the various phases Of his
trip and telling Of his visit with
American troops at the front. A par
ty Of ten congressman and four news
paper men sailed on the liner St. Louis
and, after the usual voyage Of dread,
lEnded in England.
At London Mr.. Timberlake's party
was entertained by the highest Off
cisls Of England and they were shown
every courtesy. They witnessed the
work of the Red Cross hospitals,
where the blind were being taught
useful trades and how to care for
themselves. Mr.. Timberlake declar-
ID he saw more of cheer here than
anywhere else in England.
Nobody smiles in England: no.
body smiles in France; nobody smiles
ia Belguim;" the speaker declared.
'They 60 about their task with grim
faces, brave in their task, but not
happy.
At Paris the party of Americans
was shown the same courtesies as in
London and met high officials who
discussed war problems with them.
In France, Mr.. Timberlake talked with
General Pershing. There he saw sew
sfal Sterling men and brought them
greetings from home. They were well
fed, well cared for, cheerful and brave,
he said, and sent back warm assurance
to their people.
Mr.. Timberlake's story of his visit
to the front in Belgium was frought
with pathos. There he saw the king
Of Belgium. King Albert spoke with
tears in his eyes Of the great gifts
which America had given to his peo-
pie and Of the devastation and ruin the
German hordes had brought with

In FrsaG Lie Trsaehss .
In Belgium. the party of coagress-
men was taken to tie first line
trenches. There they saw the scenes
of the great battles and visited the
trenches where the Germans had es-
tablished themselves. They saw the
wounded being carried back from the
field and VISITED the hospitals. Creep
ing low to the ground, they went
through trenches the sides Of which
nearest the German lines had been
shot away. Sacks and painted cloth
|camouflaged to deceive the enemy
were the only protection from the enc
my's bullets. While they were at the
front line trenches the enemy must
have learned of their presence, for
they opened a heavy machine gun fire
on the spot, and the bullets fell thick
and fast. An officer not twenty feet
away was killed and several others
were wounded. Belgian snipefs
crawled in the farch in front of the
visitors and kept down the fire ~
much As possible.
During their stay in the village near
the front, Mr.. Timberlake declared
the window panes ratified constantly
and the boom of the artillery was
continuous. The day previous very
heavy artillery battle had ragged in
this vicinity.
About the platform were relics
which Mr.. Timberlake and picked up
on the battlefields and among them
was one Of the first twenty shells fir
ed by Americans during the war. A
British rifle taken from the bottom of
. trench dugout was another relic.
Photographs also showed scenes Of the
front.
Mr.. Timberlake declared that Eng
lish and French officers had given
him assurance that the American
fighters were equal to any on the bat
tlefield. They were well, and strong,
he said, and only one-fifth Of one per
cent Of the American forces had suf-
fered from veneral diseases, 50 prev
alent among other forces.
Splendid tributes were paid the Red
Cross by the speaker. He told Of its
work on the front and in the hospitals
with great enthusiasm and urged the
greatest liberality in support Of the
organization.
Referring to the atrocities of the
Germans, Mr.. Timberiake said that he
had found no verification of the claim
that wholesale crimes against child
rem had been perpetrated, a. in the
matter of cutting off their hands. He
did say, however, that the charge Of
their ravishing women and numbering
noncombatants and injecting prison.
ers with disease was all too true.
These things, he said, he had seen
proved by his own eyes.
The party of congressman made the
trip to earn directly under what con-
ditions the American men would fight.
They went to learn the needs Of the
soldiers, and these things they saw.
