Take Them Without OppOsi-

GERMAN DOG WIG-WACS
''KAMERADE" WITH TAIL

We're From Ohio
BY Fred S. Ferguson
Inited Press staff correspondent


With the American Army in France
Mar. 14.-Amarican troops now occu-
by their first German trenches,
They consist of two kilometers
KE242 miles) of front line positions in
Ithe Badonviller region on the Luneville
front
The positions were occupied in broad
daylight by the Americans, after Ger
lman evacuation. The German barrage
later forced a withdrawal but the Sam
mics returned and now firmly hold the
positions.
The positions have been consolidated
automatic rifles have been mounted
And they are fully defended. The
trenches were so smashed by Yankee
ARTILLERY as to be untenable for the
tboches, but the salient forms an ex-
eellent addition to our Zines. The Am
ericans found the trenches supported
by string timbers. The broken ones
have been replaced.
The bOches are playing a safe de-
fensive game on all fronts where they
ARE confronting Americans, it has been
hnade aPparerlt by recent raids In
Expectation of these raids, the enemy
simply evacuates all front positions
and retired to the safety of the rear
Zines.
The Americans are alert and active
And the Germans are unable to tell
when to expect something.
Considerable sniping is developing,
Especially ON the Luneville front The
Sammies are becoming proficient in
this art. There is also grenading back
and forth. Aerial activity is increas-
Sng.
1t is now permissible to state that
the troops in the Luneville region who
hmade raid without opposition are
from Ohio. Volunteers were called for
Ito participate in the raid. So many
wanted to go that only few were Sc
lected from each company
The participants included boys from
cincinnati, Marion, Circleville, Cleve-
aand, London, Marysville, Columbus
land Dayton.
The former famous athlete, whose
hame was deleted in Sundays dis
patches, is an ex-baseball catcher. He
BIS different looking in gas mask and
tin hat than he was behind wire
mask and in baseball cap.
(The former catcher referred to I'M
idoubtedly is Hank" Gowdy, former
Boston Brave backstop and hero OF
the 1914 world series. He was the
first big Lacquer to volunteer for act
1--we service. He enlisted with an Ohio
Eegiment.)
A German dog is now the mascot Of
IAN AmerieaE company on the Toul
front. He deserted the boche trenches
lat night and came over to the Ameri-
ean lines with tail wagging. He is be-
dng fed and petted and the Samnfies
are teaching him English.

WISCONSIN TO NAME
MEN FOR SENATOR AT
PRIMARIES TUESDAY
Result VIII Show Whether
Germans In State Are
Loyal or Otherwise
By L. G. Earnist

kOnlIeu HreSS OIdII OOrfeSpOuueHD)
Milwaukee, Wis, Mar. Ex-senator
ial aspirants in Wisconsin launche
final drive today for votes at next Tues
day IS primaries, in which will be selelt
ed the candidates who will fight it out
at the final election April 2.
So far as the primaries are concern
ed, the spotlight of national interest
is concentrated on the republicans. They
are face to face with the issue of de.
Gliding whether the party within Wis
consin approves or disapproves the at
ttitude of Senator Robert NJ. La Fol
lette in matters relative to the war.
They chose between Representative
Irvine l.. Lenroot, who has denounced
La Toilette s war record, and James
Thompson, whose candidacy La Toilette
has endorsed.
LenroOt seeks the nomination on a
war-pro "loyalty" platform. He is
backed by the party leaders who have
been strongest in support of the war
and who repudiated La Toilette 8 lead
ership.
La Toilette, in formal statement, has
urged his followers to vote for Thomp-
son. He declared Thompson would op
pose "tbe power of one man" to say
how long the war shall continue and
to define the nation s war aims.
Democratic and socialist candidates
also will be named bsO within those par
ties there is no issue up for decision at
the primaries.
Since the entry of America into the
war the sentiment at heart of the very
very large German-American population
of Wisconsin has been the subject of
nationwide speculation. A great ma
jority of this element are republicans
and their vote may reasonably be ex-
pected to be tremendously potent fac
tor in the selection of the republican
candidate Tuesday.

and two baggage ears passed safely,
then the landslide struck the train in
the middle and overturned two Pull

their berths indiscriminately together.
Relief trains from Harrisburg carried
. dozen physicians to the scene but
they found their duties light. The most
seriously hurt were II. II. Steinmetz, Do

were one thousand delegates to the

~. 900 NURSES SIGN
FOR ARMY SERVICE
Surgeon Generals Request
Exceeded by 1000.

There need be no fear on the part OF
the public that the American army.
soon to number 5000. 900. will lack ade-
quate nursing. according to Miss M
Adelaide Nutting, chairman of the COM
mittee on nursing of the Council OF Ma
uonal Defence. In statement given
out yesterday Miss Nutting says that all
OF the needs OF the present have been
provided for and that the outlook for
the future Is satisfactory.
Surgeon-qeneral Gorgas's demand for
$4,000 graduate nurses to be enrolled by
January 1. 1919, has already been ex-
ceeded by nearly 1000, Miss Nutting
states, while there are moro than 1000
student nurses who will be fit for SER
vice in France as soon as they are
needed there. These student nurses have
been recruited for the Army School and
viii be assigned for training In ten army
camps east of the Mississippi River.
Far from being serious, the nursing
situation Is very good indeed" Miss
Nutting said yesterday mo other country
has ever been 80 we'll equipped to send
Immediately into the field an ample body
of thoroughly trained nurses A survey
OF the country's nursing strength shows
an available reserve of about 10000
graduate nurses. From this figure al
lowance Is made for depreciation of
about % per cent. on account of age,
marriage. disability and other causes.
In addition, however, there were grad
uated from the training schools Of the
country this year about 1000 nurses
these from civil hospital schools and
the yearly increment may be expected "a
be greater as the war proceeds.
In response TO the Surgeon -Gener-
ais request nearly $1,000 graduate
nurses are already enrolled in the United
States by the Red Cross. and OF these
5000 are already in military service.
