GUNS LET
LOOSE WITH A ROAR
THAT SHOOK EARTH
PrOiectiles, "Like Big Footballs, Kick
ed on By Some Giant,' Could BE
Followed by the Eye in
Their Flight.

With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun, October 29-The task of
trying to smash the Germans most
important lateral line of communica-
tions with the big guns now thunder
ing behind the American line was
nothing compared with the work of
bringing up the guns to the firing
line. In the first place, the greatest
difficulty was encountered in getting
the monsters across the Atlantic
Many wiseacres declared that they
would take up too much tonnage and
that they would prove white ele-
plants" when finally they arrived.
When the pieces did get here the.
French railway officials took one look
at the giants and then waved their
hands in despair. They said they
could not be mounted on any existing
railway tracks in France because the,
care were sure to break down.
The American artillery commander
persuaded the French officials to per-.
nit him to make try, but the French
still were insistent that the railway
never would bear the strain To
prove it was possible, the American
had one of the great cannon mounted
on railway truck and shunted it up
and down down the road without mis-
hap.
But you can never get them
through the tunnels said the French
That was the final objection.
Eventually one gun was rushed
through from the coast to the front
and this objection was swept away.
Then the monsters were emplaced
and began hurling projectiles in the,
direction of Germany. The first day
of the cannonade three giant guns!
we're let loose with a roar that shook.
the earth So huge were the proiec-.
tiles that they could be followed with
the eye as they left the muzzles. They
looked like big footballs, kicked off by
some giant.

HOW LABOR IS

Two Letters From Maysville Boys at

Reading.

Mr.. j. H. Patton, Louisville, De

evidence, as to conditions at Camp
Knox
He also wishes to warn all who
have been making statements con
trary to contents of these letters is
interfering with Government work,
and will not be tolerated by the De-
partment of Labor. If anyone has
been at Camp Knox and failed to find
conditions as are stated in the fol-
lowing letters, it is their duty to re-
port same to the Department of Labor
Public Service Reserve, Washington,

people that they come in contact with.
To keep a man from going to Camp
Knox is interfering with the working

Dear Write and All:
l received your letter and was truly
glad to hear from you and to know
all are we'll. / am feeling fine so you
need not worry about me. This is a
good healthy place to be, it is more
sanitary than Maysville. We have
plenty to eat and a good place to
sleep. Jimmie Outten sleeps by my
side, he enjoys this life and l am go
ing to make carpenter out of him.
Nate is working here but l have
only seen him once; the place is so
large and there are so many people
here, about 10000 men and they want
10000 more
Here is something that will please
you and that is, you cannot bring any
whiskey in this camp. The soldiers
search all suitcases and tool boxes, so
you see this is as good as the Keeley

make good money and l advise him to
come now. This is about all I can
think of this time, hoping to hear

$4,000 Prisoners Taken In Italy

Italian Headquarters on the Piave.
October 29-F'ifteen thousand prison
ers have been taken by the British,
Italians and French in the advance
across the Piave.
The battle has been going on for
six days and has been marked by the
desperate resistance of the enemy.
They have directed their artillery fire
against Dontoon bridges thrown
across the Piave, and their bombing
airplanes also have caused trouble.
The Allies not only have had to bat
tie against the swift river current, but
also to contend with the damage done
to the Dontoons and foot bridges Once
across the river the Allies have had
to overcome strong trench positions
and machine gun posts.
