SHELL SHOCK CURED

pose finally gets his tongue and gets
the idea over to her, so the shell-shOck
patient gets back to himself again
Doctors got busy and figured out just
what ordinary shell shock is. Nobody
is scared of it any more, since it can
be cured, sometimes in less than ten
minutes.
The best cure. it seems, is to put
your mind on practical and concrete
work. Washing dishes, saving q log
or knitting soX would be good for shell
shock because they would give you
something You can concentrate your
mind and hands upon
In the shell-shOck hospital they work
on manual training objects. making
toys, building boxes, boats or making
designs. Anything one can concen-
trate on is good.
Just figuring out what the PROPOSE
ton is has taken all the honor and
danger out of shell shock, and since
nobodys scared of it, everybody gets
well pretty quickly. Most of the boys
go right back to the trenches and new
er get it again.

Picardy in History

Picardy was one of the old feudal
provinces of France, and its territory
is now comprised in the departments
of Somme, Disc, Pas-de-CaIais and
Aisne. The name Is still unofticially
applied to that part of France which
borders on the English channel and
contains the cities of Amiens, Beau
vais, Calais, Boulogne, Arras, Sois-
sons and Laon. The fighting in the
present war has been largely in Pic
ardy, which was a portion of that
part of ancient Gaul inhabited by the
BelgianS, who were considered by the
Romans the bravest of the Gauls. The
city of AmienS is noted for its

Huns With Hands
Up Fire With Feet

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Aug. 2O.-The Ger
mans have just evoyed another new
and treacherous device by which
they operate their machine guns with
their feet while holding up their
hands in token of surrender, accord
ing to a story told by Americans who
are fighting in the vicinity of Fismes.
Some of our troops in the region
Of Fismes told me they came across
an enemy machine gunner who, when
he saw our men approaching him,
held up his hands and shouted
''kamerad." Our men advanced to
make him prisoner, and when within
twenty feet of him he began firing
at them by means of his machine
gun attachment, working it with one
Of his feet.
Despite the rain of lead on our
men, they charged him with their
bayonets. He fell with twenty or
more wounds in his body.
The incident, however, serves to
further accentuate the way the Huns
are fighting in their finaI desperation.
Also / may in this connection say
that it is only in such cases Of Hun
barbarism that the American troops
refuse to take prisoners.

Marshal Foch
Is Intentionally
Scattering Blows
By J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert.

ASS" " V0A A%@
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Marsha
FoQh's attack today west of Scissors
is continuation of his effort to drive
a wedge between the Picardy anC
Vesle fronts, and create new salients
in each area from which Won Hin
denburg can be squeezed northward
Instead of concentrating his efforts
upon single objective, Marshal Focf
is now Intentionally scattering his
blows. By engaging in diffuse as.
saults the allies are compelling vor
Hindenburg to keep.a maximum mum,
ber of his troops actively employed
instead of using them to fill the ranks
of his battered reserves.
Won Hindenburg's Noyon position
is now being threatened in the rear
because of today's drive northward
between the Disc and the Aisne. The
principal railway supplying the entire
southeastern part of the Picardy
front runs from Noyon, through
Chauny and La Fere back into the
German rear. This line of communi-
cation is now beginning to come with
in range of Marshal Foch's guns as
the result of today's operations. It's
severance by the allies would enforce
a German retreat upon st. Quentin
and the serious weakening of the
southern pat of the old Won Hinden-
burg line.
Marshal Foqh's steady encroach-
ment upon the hill barriers protect
ing Won Hindenburg's southern
front has now reached the
point where the allies are able to OBJ
serve practically all the German
far back of the lines to-
ward Noyon, the next German con-
centration point marked for capture.
This important advantage has been
secured by the seizure of the Las
signy plateau and the virtual occu-
patton of the town itself. The diff
fculty of fully observing the activity
0 fthe Germans north of the Lassigny
region has hampered Marshal Foch's
disposition of his own troops. Now
that all secrecy of concentrations be-
fore Noyon has been removed, Won
Hindenburg must conduct his defense
of this area with new difficulties.
A further call upon the German re-
serves if Won Hindenburg resolves
upon this doubtful course of trying to
postpone his inevitable retreat little
longer. Marshal Foch is now in a
position to hammer away at the ap-
proaches to Noyon from three dice
southwest and south
Won Hindenburg can find men to hold
these gateways only by further de-
pleting his reserves.
The triple advance toward Noyon
is not only tactical move in the
development of Marshal Foch's local
its strategic purpose is to
compel Won Hindenburg to use up as
many of his troops as possible in first
line fighting over the widest possible
front. In this manner Won linden
burg's plans are seriously disar-
for he cannot count on main
tanning behind the lines a stabilized
force. Territorial gains is not Mar
shall Foch's sole objective at present.
Even more important than the i'm
