WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Sept. 2O-(By mail)-
Little Marie Yvonne, the rest of whose
name no one seems to know, will
live and will not be entirely crippled
ali her life. An American ambulance
unit is happier, since the doctors
gave out the report.
Marie YVonne lived in a little town
north Of Chateau-Thierry during the
six weeks the boches held the place.
The 5-year-old tot was forced to re-
main behind with her aged grandfath-
er and grandmother. The mother Is
dead. and the old folks were too feeble
10 flee.
They lived in a cave practically
every minute Of that six weeks, going
out only when necessary. for the town
vas near the line. The Germans told
them to stay in the cave. for they
would see too much otherwise. The
old folks and the child were able to
live only by using boarded food spar
ingly. and by denying they had any
thing TO eat when the Germans came
to take Il. The grandfather would
totter out. despite shells. and bring
back vegetables from gardens.
Explosion wounds Child.
Finally the Americans retook the
town, and little Marie Yvonne was
happy to go out into the sunshine
again. The doughboys gave her and
the grandparents white bread and
canned meat, and they all ate as
though famished
Then Marie Yvonne, playing in her
own house. found a German potato
masher grenade. She picked IL up to
show It to grandfather, and wire
fastened TO II pulled the pin that kept
the tran from exploding. Marie
Yvonne was blown across the room
wounded in several places but most
seriously in the hand which picked
up the grenade.
The Americans hurriedly gave Ma
rle Yvonne first aid treatment ana
rushed her to a Chateau -Thierry hos
pital. where doctors operated. She Is
getting better now.

ECIPEY is "a VOICE

"A voice from the trenches is the

by critics. As a drama with the
fighting sergeant in the very role he
enacted In the trenches It will be
shown next Tuesday at the Alta the
ater.
The soldier-author with this play
holds the mirror to human nature as
he found It In the English private
soldier. His story will appeal to
young and old alike, to all WHO love
Dathos and humor great deeds and
manly men.
The New York Times in comment
ing on the story, "Over the Top" said:
prospective soldiers can learn here
pretty nearly just what is awaiting
them, in both incident and sensation.
while their folks at home will be
heartened."
Like the book. this Vitagraph drama
is filled with anecdotes that will bring
the smile and laughter. Empey
proves that life in the trenches is not
all gloom by any means. He says:
war is not a pink tea. but in
worthwhile cause like ours. mud
rats, coolies, shells, wounds or death
itself are far outweighed by the deep
sense of satisfaction felt by the man
who does his bit. There is one thing

BEHIND AMERICAN LINES IN
FRANCE, oct. 9.-Bombs Of an in
credible size are now carried by Am-
erican aircraft, and some idea Of their
destructive capacity may be gained
from the fact that they cannot be
dropped at a lower altitude than 5000
feet, so greatly is the air disturbed
by the explosion.
An amusing incident occurred when
the first of these was dropped on en-
lyemy territory. which is much harried
by American bombers and consequent
ly bristles with searchlights and anti
aircraft batteries. So terrific was the
explosion that every searchiight went
out instantly, and the airman was de-
prived of the landmarks on which he
had counted to find his way home.
Americans in this squadron have
had remarkable SUCCESS. In two
weeks they accounted for 26 enemy
machines. II OF which were crashed,
and one balloon. All are imbued with
the idea of maintaining the offensive
under all circumstances.
Recently two OF them, finding
themselves cut off by 20 of the enemy
while returning to camp, refused to
seek safety in flight Instead they
swept up at the German machines,
which we're all above them. and so
ratified the enemy by their unexpected
daring that they actually brought
down fo@r of his machines and.
though not undamaged themselves,
were able to land behind our lines.
