soldiers is given in a Salvation Army
letter made public here by Adjutant
Fletcher Agnew 1t was written in
France by Adjutant r. c. Starbard. who
has charge Of a Salvation Army hut.
to Commander Eva Both, who turned
it over to Adjutant Agnew.
II visited a base hospital recently"
says the letter, "and had this story
from a sergeant who had passed
through one of the raids. The sergeant
was horribly wounded by a grenade, and
was passed by the Germans as dead.
Before the sergeant lost conscious
ness. however. he saw a dozen Germans
overpower three American boys and
cut their throats from ear to ear. The
sergeant said the murder of the third
American was the most horrible. Four
Germans held him while a fifth fairly
severed his head from his body.
"I have just learned" continues the
letter, that this same company Of
Americans passes through here today
with their bayonets sharpened like
razors, sworn to avenge this awful
crime against their comrades. What
can you say to men bound on such an
errand except bid them strike with
all their might and harder because OF
the righteousness of our cause and
the devilishness of the enemy
Adjutant Starbard admits to Com
mander Booth that it is often very diff
cult to follow the dictates of forgiving
Christianity while hearing daily re-
ports of Hun atrocities.

by the Labor Department to release
their employees wherever possible for
farm work during the busy season.
In Washington it is believed the gov

the best farm labor supply source to
be found in the National Capital, and

farm training-and there are hundreds
of such men-would spend their vaca-
tions on nearby farms profit would en-
sue to farmers and clerks alike.
Washington streets offer poor pick

Berlin Makes
Huge Claims;

Continuing their evident purpose of driv-s
ing a wedge in the Franco-British line BE-
tween Scissors and Rheims, German troops
are today struggling furiously to increase
their gains on the Aisne battlefield.
The Western front fighting reached :
new crisis with this effort Of the enemy. The
boche advance to the vicinity of Fismes, an
important railway center, provides q new
menace comparative to his smashes up to
Amiens and Ypres in the earlier thrusts.
A gain to the depth of 154 miles at
places is declared to have been made by the
German armies.
However it appears likely that the Teutons may
receive check. Renforcements of the allies
tnuing to up, and it is believed possible that,
with renewed strength, the British and French may
counter-attack
That the allied lines between Scissors and Rheims
lightly held appears the from the boches
rapid advance. Twenty to rs divisions employed
to make the push This superior to the allies who
gave ground as in other thrusts.
