cost. The French had already been
driven back 40 kilometers on this same
position. Top Kick Brandenburger
was in charge of a machine gun en-
placement and Donegan was one OF his
gunnerS The machine gun was well
hidden and its position was thought
to be unknown to the Germans. Sud
denly a six-inch shell dropped right
into the emplacement. Luckily it was
a dud and didn't go off.
The situation was extremely ticklish.
for GRANDCHILDREN could not move the
gun without orders, and it was obvious
enough that its position had been dis
covered. He dispatched Donegan to To-
cate the captain in charge OF the unit
and get permission tc move the gun.
The captain couldn't be found and the
Germans were moving into position to
wipe out the nest. Suddenly Donegan
espied the captain, blurted out MS
message and got his orders. They
worked like demons to change position,
and a few minutes later three shellS
dropped directly into the emplacement
and tore 1t up.
Another morning Bill Goebel was on
his way up with the rolling kitchen to
feed the boys up at the front line. An
enemy bullet suddenly whiZzed by and
got the driver of the kitchen right he
tween the eyes Bill grabbed the wheel,
and. crouching as low as he could, made
for his objective.
Bullets screamed on all sides of him
and things were certainly warm. Then
Bill heard a slight movement behind
him and saw shining blade pointed
at his back. He whipped around
grabbed his man and fought for mis-
life. A good stiff uppercut caught the
German on the point of the jaw and
laid him out Bill grabbed the steerine
wheel again and brought the kitchen
up. Unconcernedly he set to work
cooking chow for the men. The French
government presented him with a
Croix de Guerre for this exploit.

Charlie Chaplin of the A.. E. F. He

boys in high spirits. He was born on
Friday, the 18th, and has this as hi;

Son Charges Undue Influence
Caused His Exclusion
From Request.
PROTESTS ADMISSION
OF WILL TO PROBATE
Tells Court Deceased Was Not of
Sound Mind and Capable
of Making Will.

Herbert S. Berliner eldest son OF the
inventor, Emile Berliner, who died Au-
gust 8, today filed in the District Su-
preme Court a caveat protesting against
the admission to probate of his fathers
will, executed July Is, 1929. The son,
who resides in Montreal and is con-
nected with the Compo Co., Ltd, manu-
facturer of photographic records, was
excluded by the will from participation
in the fathers estate.
The section in the will referring to
him reads: Having given special ad-
vantages during my lifetime to my SON
Herbert S. Berliner, by which he was
and will be further enabled to accumu-
late a most ample fortune, now ex-
clude him from any participation in my
estate"
Charges Undue Influence.
The son, through Attorney Alvin L
Newmyer charges fraud and undue in
fuence exercised upon the testator by
his other children and those related tc
them or by some of such persons. He
tells the court that his interests will be
affected injuriously if the alleged will
be admitted to probate.
The court is told that the paper writ
ing is not the last will of the deceased:
that at the time Of signing and making
the will the father was not of sound
mind and capable of making will;
that undue influence was exercised
upon him by his other children or some
one related to them or by some of them.
The petition asks that probate be de-
MED to the alleged will and that issues
be framed for submission to jury to
pass on its validity.
Asks Will Be PrObated.
Tho uidow NHrc Cora PerIi,,er apd
the National Savings & Trust Co.,
named as executors under the will, filed
a petition some days ago asking for its
probate. According to that petition. the
estate is valued in excess of 81 100000.

CAPPER SEES NEED
OF LARGER POLICE
FORCE IN DISTRICT
Senator Also Sympathetic to
Increased Salary Proposal
for Men.
WOULD HAVE FIREMEN
INCLUDED IN RAISES
Action on Latter Issue to Be Taken
in December Session,
He Indicates.

Recommendations recently made to
the Commissioners for a larger number
of policemen and for salary increases,
both for policemen and firemen, were
favored today by Chairman Capper of
the Senate District committee.
ut seems to me there is merit In the
requests of Supt. Pratt for more men,"
police force probably has not been in
creased as rapidly as the city has
grown
Separate Salary Bill.
The proposal for additional men is
a matter to be considered by the Dis
trict of Columbia subcommittee of the
House and Senate appropriations COM
mittees when they are preparing the
District appropriation bill for next
year. The question of salary for the
Police and Fire Departments, on the
other hand, would require separate
bill, which would have to come from the
Senate and House District committees.
Senator Capper said the salary ques-
ton would not be taken up until the
regular session in December, but he in
dicated he was in sympathy with the
recommendations for raises. If salaries
are gone into. he said, the changes
should apply to both Fire and Police
Departments.
1850 Policemen Asked.
The need for more policemen to patrol
the streets of the Capital was stressed
in the annual report of Supt. Pratt,
who urged that the number of men be
increased from 1852 to 1900. He point
ed out ulat of the present total per-
sonnet only $50 were available for patrol
duty and that this number must be
divided into three eight-hour groups,
leaving only small number of men on
duty at one time.
Referring briefly to the inquiry just
conducted by a committee of the Board
of Public Welfare into conditions at
Gallinger Hospital, Senator Capper said
today that he saw no reason why the
Senate committee should turn its atten-
ton to this matter, as long as the Dis
trict authorities are going into it.
