PidfuI Picture Of Dazed
Peasants Caught Within
the War Zone
By william Philip simms


With the British Armies in Flanders,
April 22.-French and British are fight
ing shoulder TO shoulder on the Lys
battlefield.
Won Armin and Won Quasi have sac
rificed further fresh divisions at the
foot of Mont KENNEL, while on the
plains south of Mont Rouge, Mont Noir
and Mont De Cats, Won Eberhardt and
Won Stettin apparently have struck a
stone wall.
Nearly fifty five divisions (66O, 1000
men) have been used in Flanders by
the enemy since April 9, and apparently
many more will be needed if the Fourth
and Sixth German armies are to battle
on much further. Some of these divisions
are too badly battered to go on. Others
are physically exhausted. The remaind
er are tired, but are being pushed on in
desperate attempts to enlarge the Ar
mentieres bulge.
Hindenburg must strike elsewhere, US
ing many OF his remaining precious re-
serves, if he is to be able to advance
further in Flanders.
German high velocity guns are ex-
tremely busy in the. villages and roads
ringing the battle field and the bonn
bardment is being increased as heavier
artillery is dragged up.
A Pitiful Picture.
In the Areadian hill country north of
Bailleul, windmills and matched cot
tages are shaking under the cOncus-

sion. The country folk are gradually de-
serting their little farms, carrying
their belongings. Some linger, not fully
comprehending their danger, gazing daz-
edly at the shells bursting in their yards
and the shrapnel blossoming above their
hay stocks, while low flying airplanes
battle above their vegetable gardens.
1t makes a lump rise in ones throat
to see these poor old people tangled up
in the war. l saw a bent old lady trudg
ing along path across the battlefield
toward village where geysers of brick
dust and smoke and terrific explosions
marked the landings of German shells.
She carried large dog in her arms, a
gingham bib about its neck like a child.
The dog probably was the only living
thing she had left to love.
Nearby were five little girls, laugh
ingly chasing two stubborn, snortine
goats, while their parents were closing
the cottage shutters before leaving.
Those who stayed the latest were
forced to leave everything.
Soldiers are milking abandoned cows
on the battlefield thrice day, No gun
ner s mess is without cream for coffee.

l5O,OOO,OOO Bushels Piled
On Docks and Awaiting
Shipment
TEN MILLION BUSHELS
TO COME BY SEPTEMBER
Swedish and Japanese Ships
VIII Bring This, and
Other Products

Washington, April 22.--Millions of
bushels of Australian wheat will soon
be poured into Pacific ports to release
more American grain for Europe.
Negotiations with Japan and Sean
divanian countries for shipping now
practically completed, will permit
landing Of one and one half millions
bushels of Australian wheat a month
on the Pacific coast it was learned au-
thoritatively today.
This will enable Food Administrator
Hoover to ship 100000 bushels OF
wheat immediately to Belgium to re-
lieve starvation conditions there.
Hoover's program calls for arrival
at Pacific ports of l,665,000 bushels
Of wheat a month, starting May l.
Ten million bushels must come in by
September one under the schedule map
ped out
Because of the critical world food
situation, large slice Of Swedish ton
mage to be acquired under agreements
practically completed, and 10000 tons
of Japanese shipping will be used to
move Argentine and Australian wheat
to the United States.
Next to the troop movements food is
getting right of way. Wheat must be
poured into America S back door to
keep the bread line to Europe intact.
American wheat shipments to Europe
are made entirely from the savings by
conservation from normal consumption.
Despite the fact that 100000, 900
bushels of wheat is piled on docks at
Adelaid and other Australian ports,
practically none of it has been moved.
Only tiny fleet of sailing vessels has
been available until now.
In addition to wheat, war industries
must have tin, rubber, chrome and jute
from the Strait settlements. War in
dustries board officials and the food
administration are negotiating for al
location of tonnage between equally
necessary commodities. On outward
bound trips petroleum from Califor-
MIA will be carried.

New Ambassador Now In San

Situation

San Francisco, April % japanese
military authorities do not believe Jap

units on tile western front, Viscount
Kikuiiro Ishii, ambassador to the I'm

"Differences in food, climate and
language, would hamper them, said the
ambassador.
"Of course he said, ~ am merely
lcvoating what our military men have
ioid me. | am not military man my
sole. But / am told that it is technic-
ally impossible from a military stand
point, to send japanese troops to
France. The Japanese soldier would
need Japanese food, and the three weeks
required to send it would ruin our sup
plies. Our troops would be further ham
pered which would. prevent the fullest
cooperation with their allies.
Viscount Ishii warned against at
tempts Of enemies to ineite bad feel
ing between his country and the Unit
ed States.

"True friendship he said, is
proved only in time of trial, and the
time has now come when this friend
ship is to be abundantly proved.
HThe mist of enemy intrigue hang
ing over the relations between the two
countries has been clearly swept away
by the war, and there is today no dis
turbing cloud on the horizon of the Pa
cific. In fact, relations between Japan
and America have never been so cor
dial and friendly as they are today.

vigilant watch lest our ever-active en-
emy should again slip in and renew his
attempts to SOW the seeds of diseord
between us as he has done with no
small success in the past"

Organized Barbarities Follow
In Wake Of German
Invasion
MOTHERS WITH BABES
in ARMS ARE MURDERED
500 Men Lined Up and Shot
Their Families Forced
To Be Present

New York, April 22-Describing here
tofore unrevealed German atrocities,
Brand Whitlock, United States minister
to Belgium, indicates the Prussian hor-
rors were conducted with Prussian ef-
fieiency as part of the plan of cam
paign. Whitlock was in Belgium when
kultur overwhelmed the land.
Writing in Everybody's Magazine
for May, which appears tomorrow, he
tells how carefully organized barbarities
followed in the wake of the German
drive, being especially cruel after each
German defeat.
Picturing what occurred when the
French resisted German attempt to
bridge the Meuse August %, 1914,
Whitlock says:
People were held th,-e, evidently as
q sort Of screen, while the Germans be-
gan temporary bridge over the river.
The Germans sent citizen to Dinant,
o,lo of the prisoners, in a boat across
the river to inform the French that un-
less they ceased firing the civilians
would be shot. But few stray bullets
still sped across the river. The prisoners
Neie massed together nearly ninety Of
them, old men and young, girls and
boys, little children and babies in. their
mothers arms. "a platoon was called up,
the colonel in command gave the word
TO fire, and the gray soldiers in cold
Blood Shot down those ninety persons
as they stood huddled there together.
Among them were twelve children under
the age of six years, six Of them little
babes whose mothers, as they stood up
to face their pitiless murderers, held
them in their arms.
This Just An Example
The fate of the town Of Andenne be-
fore the war of 1900 people is cited
by Whitlock as an example of what hap
pened when the Germans were thrown
back in an attempt to cross the Meuse
on a temporary bridge.
An night the killing and pillaging
went on, he says. ''The crowd was or
