Between Air Raids.
This Is 11 thrilling and true story of
two women who kept 11 "posto di con
forto" nt Trevlso, Italy, for traveling
sick and wounded soldiers:
Having done some very good tor
rnrizlng by the sir o'clock raids, the
tins kept them up. It was such a
pestiferous nuisance, becntiso we were
always In the middle of conking the
evening meal I With your soldier cook
and servnnt safe down In the cellar,
It becomes your pleasing duty to run
out between raids to stir the soup or
put another stick of wood on the lire.
With shrapnel fulling nil around, tt
Is not altogether wise to go with un
covered head. We bad given our two
helmets tn American ambulance driv
er and were without any, so I was
obliged to wear a granite saucepan on
my hend for these stirring parties. It
wns not our custom to go into n refuge,

j LOUDER. THAN ANY THUNDER
Modern duns Make Nolw That It Far
I Above That of "Heaven'a
' ' Artillery."
I Every Mb' noise la enmpnred to
! thunder, iih If heaven's artillery were
tho greatest noise Imaginable. We
speak commonly of "tlm.thunder of the
guns," unci .the -poets have always
spread themselves on the terrific can
nonade of u- thunder storm. Hut the
pluln fart Is that man's o.-llllery beats
the cloud into fits, If the distance at
which Hi on n be heard Jn any crl
ti'rlon of the intehslty and volume of
sound.
The gunfire In Flanders: has been
i hoard lit London -countless times,
while It .Is finite Impossible to , say
how far (lie famous inlneburst on the
Vliny ridge, produced by human
agency, though not gunfire, could ba
heard. But it la doubtful whether the
loudest thunder that ever peulcd has
I been heard 20 miles away.
One of the greatest thunder storms
of recent years occurred III the Rich
mond area, hut not a sound of It
reached London, and It Is on record
I hut when the;ehurch steeple of Lost
wlthlel was destroyed by lightning to
tho accompaniment of such a roar of
thunder us the oldest Inliabllnnt could
nut reineinbitf, no Bound was heard 80
miles distant. -' j
Thei explanation Of this seeming
nnomaly is possibly the, fuct that
thunder Is produced In the air, and the
sound Is conveyed . by rairth wiives

I When women first were put to work
In shell factories In -England they
i handled only the light Hold-gun shells.
Later It became necessary for them to
turn nut larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. : A
young mother settled the question.
"Let me heft the shell," she said,
picking one up from the floor. "Aye,"
be commented, "this shell Is a mite
heavy, 'tis true, but It's not bo heavy
as my baby."
There Is a shell factory In the Liv
erpool district operated almost exclu
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
voting girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
und cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment Is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This Is a nonprofit-mnking factory

HUN AIRMAN TURNS
GUN ON HELPLESS
Falling to His Death, Malevolent
German Shoots Women
and Children.
The desperate malevolence of a Ger
man airman, who, falling to his death,
tried to "go west In style" by taking
with him ns ninny women nnd children
as he could Is graphically described
by Mrs. Laura Forest of the American
fund for French wounded In a letter
from Epernny, where she had taken
pnrt In the evacuation of a hospital
before the Germnn advance and wit
nessed the fall of the Hun plane. The
letter tells how the Hoche even nfler
he had fallen deliberately continued,
to fire upon noncouibatiint spectators.
Mrs. Forest's letter follows:
"It wns just after breakfast on Sun
day when tho guns announced tho np-
proach of nn enemy plane and we
crowded around the doors of our ho
tel nnd watched what we thought was
the successful carrying out of u dan
gerous move, the sudden dropping
down of the plane through the urea of
bursting shells and out of the reach
of the guns. Right over the building
he came, raking tho street with mu-chlne-gun
fire and then came such a
hurst of Joy from the throats of the
people us Is seldom heard: 'II est
tombe! II est tonibol' (He bus fallen.)
"When I found myself I wns run
ning with the men and women nnd
children of Epernny, and with them I
kept on running till the fallen plane
wns In sight. Wounded ns the avia
tor was, he turned his machine gun on
the crowd und fired, killing n woman
and a child. And still "we ran on and
found him nnd only, the arrival of a
motor with the police let him live ns
long ns he did. He died within a few
hours. The second niiin was burled
under the machine and the crowd wns
well dispersed before he was brought
out, badly wonnded, and carried away.
I never heard whether he lived or
died."
