II you want to keep your hair

Most soaps and prepared sham

(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing.

WITH THE AMERICAN
TROOPS IN FRANCE, APRIL
S.-(COntrole Amerfcain)-
The American railroad artil-
lery on the western front Is
there with the big punch.
1t has just given tho Huns
= walloping they'll not soon
forget.
And not an American artiI-
lerynan nor an American
gun has been lost.
1t may be some time before
full details of our first railroad
artillery encounter with the enc
my becomes available, but this
much may be said at this time:
AMERICAN SHREWDNESS
HAS WON OUT OVER GERMAN
METEODICAL RED TAPE.
Americas railroad artillery Is
kept far behind the battle front
at a point that offers exceptional
railroad facilities in reaching any
place In the line.
Word came that a big action
was impending.
Well be there" was the terse
answer of the American general.
What Happened.
And, in sequence, this Is what
happened:
That night, several hundred ar
tillerymen left for the scene on a
special train, which carried cars
for them to sleep in, besides flat
cars and tool cars in which were
piled every sort of paraphernalia
for the hasty construction of side
tracks and gun emplacements.
Practically no work was done
during daylight hours because
Hun airplanes were constantly

calling cards. There's lot Of
enemy artillery in those yards and
we want to smash it,"
The Smelling lasted from 2:10
until 5 o'clock, and in that time
each gun fired some As rounds at
the different Hun targets.
Within few minutes after the
firing ceased, the Americans were
pulling up stakes" preparatory
to beating a hasty retreat.
This il q hit-and-run
game-this railroad artillery
fighting" said one officer.
"Tho Germans haven't the
least idea as to our range and
by tho time they get it well
be hack at our base, far out
Of harms way"
Early the next moning, when
the Skies had cleared and aerial
observation was possible again,
Hun airpiane came over and spot
ted the places where the guns
HAD BEEN. Thinking, however,
that the guns we're hidden under
camouflage, German guns opened
q terrific bombardment, and to-
day the ground b torn with i'm
mense shell craters.
But the American railroad ar
tfllery had gotten away during
the night.

flying in the vicinity and the least
activity behind the allied front
would be sure to lead to Hun
bombardment.
But for four nights the job of
getting ready for the battle was
rushed with feverish activity.
The American general, keenly
anxious that his forces should
give good account of them
selves, came around occasionally
and noted the progress.
On the fifth day everything was
ready. Nothing was left to be
done except bring up the guns
and the shells.
II was decided that the bat
teries should open up on the Ger
man positions the next afternoon
at 2:10 o'clock. Just why 2:10
should have been fixed instead of
. o'clock is probably a military
secret.
That night about 3 o'clock en-

kept, and headed for the front

We arrived some miles behind
the front before daybreak the
next morning, and there waited
| for orders to proceed to the firing
positions.
The day proved to be leaden.
Dark. low-hanging clouds and
mist made enemy aerial observa-
tion impossible.
Just the sort Of a day for
our operations" declared a
battery commander gleefully.

our shells begin hitting EN-" s
During the morning the heavy
railroad cars on which were
placed the big guns. some of
which threw shells weighing half
ton more than Is miles, were
pulled to their respective posi-
tions, and the shell carrying cars
also were brought up.
On the temporary curved side
tracks which had been built 1t was
possible to maneuver the gun
cars into any position to cover
various detectives on the enemy
front or behind his lines.
Then Open Fire.
Telephone wires were quickly
connected up putting artillery
headquarters in direct communi-
cation with every gun.
! Charts were brought out from
headquarters and each gun COM
mander was instructed In what he
and his men were expected to do.
At exactly 2:10 in the afternoon
every gun opened fire.

"It's impossible to see what
