WHY,
Prince Eitel ID Execrated in
France


Here is how Newell Dwight Hills,
In his book entitled German Atroci-
ties" tells of the crime for which
Prince Eitel, SON Of the kaiser, now
stands under indictment in France, the
sacking and ruin Of beautiful cha
teau:
One Of the historic chateaux Is that
OF Avricourt. rich in noble associa-
lions of history. 1t was one of the
class of buildings covered by a clause
In the International agreements be-
tween Germany, France and the Unit
ed States and all the civilized nations
safeguarding historic buildings. For
many months 1t was the home Of
Prince Eitel, second son Of the kaiser.
When Judge and jury held inquiry
at the ruins of the chateau the, aged
French servant, who understood the,
electric lighting and had charge Of the
gas plant during Eitel's occupancy,
stated that he heard the German OH
GERS telling Ethel Frederick that. he
would disgrace the German name II he
destroyed building that had no re-
lation to war, that could be of no aid
or comfort to the French army, and
that he would make his name and that
OF his family a name of shame and con-
tempt, of obloquy and scorn. But the
man would not yield. He brought in
his auto trucks. and carried to the
freight cars every historic object In the
splendid chateau. Having pledged
himself to leave the building unin-
1ured, the prince stopped his car at the
gates Of the exit, ran back to the his
toric house, lighted his firebrand,
spread the flames upon the halls, wait
ed until the flames were well In prog
ress, and then ordered his men to light
the fuse Of dynamite bombs. A few days
later inquiry was held and testimony of
aged servants and little children was
taken. The degeneracy Of the German
prince as then revealed has not been
equaled since the first chapter of Ro-
mans catalogued the unnatural crimes
OF the men of the ancient world"

HOW AMERICAN TROOPS

The American troops used.
what IL sometimes known as the
new French system Of defense,
and sometimes as the new Ger.
man system. At the beginning
Of the war the front trenches :
were held very thick" espe-
cially by the British. Later the
idea was to have only a hand
full Of men In the first line, one
man to a hundred feet, perhaps
for the second line there were
many more men and many more
machine guns; for the third line
men were much more heavily
massed and reserves kept avail
able, Lucian Swift Kirkland
writes In Leslle's.
This theory Of defense against
raids was based on the fact that
the enemy can concentrate his
men In his front lines for a sud.
den "over the top"-then lay
down a heavy barrage. When
the attacking, troops come over
they strike the first line with
their maximum impact. They
are likely to overwhelm any or
binary defense, and thus 1t Is a
waste of men to try to defend
the first line obstinately. But
the human body gets tired and
when the machine guns and
rifles Of the second line have
had their innings at the attack
ers the enemy is beginning to
slow up from natural ex-
haustion. On a counter-attack,
then, the third line, being fresh,
meets the enemy tired from ex-
ertion and proceeds to drive him
out.
Thus, as we, waded through
the mud, sometimes well over
, our knees as we visited some Of
the half-demolished lines which
the Germans had tried to fiat
ten with their artillery In their
last raid, we did not find much
society, but the snipers, whom
we did And at their posts, seem
ed to have been born to the
job. They were men who knew
their rifles and 1t was state
ment of fact and not boasting
when they declared that they
had the German sharpshooters
buffaloed. We came upon one
lanky ex-cowpuncher who had
been having four-hour duel
with a "bush," as he called him.
he didn't know l was taking his
picture, but just as the camera
clicked so also did the hammer
Of his gun. This time Mr.. Ger
man had taken one too many
chances The fact was proved
through the periscope.

SUPREMACY OF
AIR AWARDED TO
j. s. A|RSH|PS

San Diego, May 12.-Supremacy of
the American heavier -than-air craft
was again demonstrated today at the
Rockwell Field flying frolc when
types of all Allied planes and one of
the German make participated in
many tests stimulating actual warfare.
The program, which was presented be-
fore more than 10000 persons, was
arranged by Colonel Henry H. Ar
mold, commanding officer of the ISL
and; Lieutenant Colonel J. d. Car
berry, and a large corps of commits
sioner and enlisted assistants.
The chief attractions were special
aerial combats between American and
English machines, which were offered
in connection with machine gun fire
and aerial explosive bomD dropping.
Realistic indeed was the bomb drop
ping, which was done amid bursts of
anti-aircraft shells in the midst of
which many "ships" were side-slip
ping, tail-spinning, nose-diving and
fading away" in ther camouflaging.
Honors were taken by the Ameri-
can Apere, which won every RAGE and
and test in which it was entered,
while the only German Fokker to be
tried was beaten by large margin.
