Spring Millinery Gives Way to War Exhibits While Rooths
Do Large Busines in Sale of Bonds Of
Third Liberty Loan

Every great department store in
greater New York did its part to help
ring the Liberty Bell for the third
time yesterday. Windows, usually
given over to spring millinery and
Persian rugs, blazed with flags, and
attracted crowds that studied battered
remnants Of German helmets and tiny
models of Uncle Sans boys in the
trenches.
Booths inside the stores did big
business, even in the early hours, save
when they were hampered by lack of
supplies One woman who came in the
morning to the booth at Nacys, cap
.ained by Miss Annie L. Seward, was
prepared to buy q 5000 bond. She
could not be accommodated, because
the receipt blanks had not arrived. and
Miss Seward mourned her all the after
room.

Forty yards we're ~trayersed by the
two ~privates on this occasion before
they attracted much attention from the
enemy, who was busy organizing a
counter attack upon Sunken Road.
Then a m%achinegun opened up and
the two became casualties. A pair,
waiting behind in Sunken Road-and
doubtless praying to be spared this
opportunity of earning a distinguished
service medal-scurried out, bent over
like men running through a heavy
hail storm, and took the vacant pla-
ces. One of these had a different
idea. He ran along, pushing his reel
like a hoop, until he fell, less than ten
yards from the British parapet. His
reel rolled up slowly and toppled over
the edge.
The reason for the name electric
mole is not readily apparent from
the foregoing. 1t has reference to the
usual habits of the buzzer. While on
duty in an established trench he is
not unlike a mole, for he burrows in the
deepest. safest cave or dugout to be
found, and there he lives, breathes,
and buzzes in gloom that is more than
nocturnal. The degree of safety of the
dugouts used as signal stations is not
for the safety of the man himself, how
eyer. Far from it, His apparatus is
precious, so in this part of his work
he is accorded certain advantages.
Instances are not isolated, though,
in which whole signal stations have
been buried by the German "whizz-
bangs" (high explosive shells), or in
which a sudden raid on the trenches
by the enemy has found the buzzer
at his post until suffocated by the
smoke bombs the Germans throw into
the dugout, so he can not really be
said to have a "cushy" job at best
