During my concealment in the house
l had made various sorties into the
city at night, and I was beginning to
feel more comfortable even when Ger
man soldiers were about Through
the keyhole I had studied very
closely the gait of the Belgians, the
slovenly droop that characterized most
OF them, and their general appearances,
and felt that In my own dirty and un-
shaven condition I must have looked
as much like the average poor Belgian
as man could. The only thing that
was against me was my height. was
several inches taller than even the
tallest Belgians. I had often thought
that red hair would have gone good
with my name, but now, of course,
was mighty glad that I was not so
endowed, for red-haired Belgians are

Offering a motion for the appointment
OF select committee to investigate the
charges made by Gen. Maurice. former di-
rector of military operations at the war
office, Mr.. Asquith said he thought it
was not the business of parliament to
constantly inquire into the conduct OF
successive phases of the war The house
of commons. he added, had more than
enough OF such inquiries already.
Premier Lloyd George was cheered

WISCASSET. Me, May 9-The forest
fire which swept over the southern end
OF Westport, an island town, last night,

The greatest loss was among the sum

owned mostly by residents of other
states. Of - buildings burned two-thirds
were cottages valued at from $1,000 TO
$1,000. ~Heavy losses to pine and spruce
tlmberands also were sustained. The

NO BIG GUNS THIS YEAR.
Failure in Artillery as Serious as the
Aircraft Middle.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Investigation
of the production of field artillery for the
nlted States army by a committee
OF the senate military affairs committee
has disclosed a condition which. to quote
one member of the subcommittee, "is
comparable only to the failure of the air
craft program.
The sub committee, of which Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska is chairman, has
been at work quietly for nearly two
weeks. Members said today that it had
discovered that production to date of the
three most important pieces OF field artil-
lery-the 9.2-inch heavy guns, S-inch
howitzers and 6-inch howitzers-ha been
"pitifully smalE"
In the case of the 92-inch guns. the
heaviest weapon with which the American
army is to be provided, the sub-commit
tee has been told that not one of these
pieces will be delivered in time to be of
use in France this year With regard to
the others, deliveries will be SO small this
year, sub committee members said. as to
be negligible in figuring the means at the
army's disposal for turning the tide
against Germany.
