By. MiSS IRENE McINTYRE. Salvation Army Canteen Girl at the Front. (Written for the United I'ress.) With the American troops at the front, Sept. 17: (By Mail.)—A few nights ago we had another taste of war, We had been lulled into 2 false gense of security by an unusally quie! week, very little artillery, mo bar- rages at all, and very little air fight- ing. %n fact, the pans in our kitche had not been rattled for days, and we were ready to forget we were a the front, except for soldiers and the necessity for keeping out of observa- tion of German lookout posts on the hills opposite us. 5 All of a sudden at midnight the big aps of the boches let loose in a box 1arrage about a mile and & half from us at the nearest point.

There we were comparatively safe, as’long as we lay close to the ground so that eclat could not reach us if shells came nearer. We could also get a fine view of the fireworks. It was wonderful, and solemn, too, when one thought of it. The night was ‘blue black, and with each rétaliating shot from our guns great orange flames darted and disappear- ed into the blackness. We remained pertectly silent while we watched. My heart always speeds up as I watch such a sight and realize what i is meaning to our boys out there in the trenches. After an hour of the most brilliant artillery display I have ever seen we went to bed and tried to sleep, but too-many whining shells passed over head for that. I didn‘t tell Mrs, Shep-|{ — pard, the inspector from Boston, who ‘was with us, that the shells were in- coming, because it was her first ex. perience under shell-fire and we didn't want to scare her to death. But my sister and I knew what they were. At the same time we were watch- ing just where those shells were land- ing, Just as dawn was breaking, which is early in France, the church bell and the klaxons sounded above the noise of bursting shélls and we knew: a gas attack was on.

An American ambulance unit is happier, since the doctors gave out the report. Marie Yvonne lived in"a‘little town north of Chateau-Thierry during the six weeks the boches held the place. The ‘5-year-old tot was forced to re- main behind with her aged grandfath- |- er and grandmother. The mother is dead, feeble to flee. They lived in a cave practically every minute of that six weeks, go- ing out only when necessary, for the town was near the line. ‘The Ger- mans told them to stay in the cave, for they would see too much other- wise. ~The old folks and thz child FURNITURE AND and the old folks were too!@ UNDERTAKING H.
