Al l. THE COMFORTS OF HOME WERE
FOl'ND IN THE GERMAN TRENTHKrv
—
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN THE FIERI*.'
Nov., 1-— (Correspondence of The Associated i’ress)
All the comforts of home, with some added luxuries, weie
found in the dugouts and living quarters which the Ger
mans were forced to abandon when the American troops j
smashed through the St. Mihiel salient and took the terri
tory which the German Army had occupied for four year-.
Running water, electric light, steam heat, tenn s
courts, bowimg alleys, swimming pools, pianos and win
cellars were some of the up to-date conveniences which
Encle Sam's “tnoppers-up" that followed on the heals of
the rushing American soldiers found in some of the quart
ers of the German officers.
The more elaborate quarters were located in the
thicklv-set woods which abound in this part of Franc-,
and most «.f them represented the work of four years, i he
majority of them were of e aborate rustic construction
and usually had shell proof shelters connected with them.
Furniture and decorations taken from the French inham
tantsof neighboring villages formed the principal interior
equipment.
One of the most unique of these officer's quarters w-s
An All-year-’round
Soft Drink
for the Bluejackets
Our boys in the navy enjoy their
Bevo. The esteem in which it is
held by the entire Navy Depart
ment is clearly indicated by the
fact that it is sold and served on
all U. S. vessels and in training
camps. Afloat or ashore, you will
find Bevo unusually refreshing,
good and healthful.
Soft in the strictest sense, but a
thoroughgoing man’s drink. Try
it by itself, or with a bite to eat.
Served everywhere—famHies
supplied by grocers, druggists
or dealers.

located in the little village of Euvezin, about 20 miles
from Metz. There were two tiers of rooms with broad bal
conies in front and all lighted by electricity. In the lower
floor oil paintings, inlaid tables and beveled mirrors. Thk
apparently was the head-quarters of a.high officer, for in
it were found many maps, plans and a telephone switch
board. Outside was a bowling alloy and small swimming
pool.
At one side was a wine-cellar well stocked with app.
wine, beer and other beverages dear to the German heu:
Immediately adjoining was a shell proof dugout, 40 fe 4
deep and capable of holding 00 men. Next to this was a
shoemaker’s hut where a number of women’s shoes arc.
slippers were found, indicating that the Germans had \v*.»
men in the trenches. Higher up in the woods was a veg •
table farm, and overlooking all is tin observatory, whit:1
gave a surpassing view of the country for miles around.
Everything was confusion. Uniforms, rifles, pots,
dishes, books and all kinds of military paraphernalia we.x
heaped about everywhere, indicating that the Germans
had fled in great haste.
That flic Germans expected to occupy this territoi;
for a long time is shown by the character of their trench
es. In many eases, these were of concrete and equipped
with almost as many conveniences as a dwelling house
Some of them had running water, telephone communicat
ion, heating stoves and piped drainage.

This view also is taken by many British flying offi
ers. One of them recently wrote: "1 go into the air per

weeks- Vo guard against navy aerial patrols wasting
bombs ou f ubmersibles already finished, a record of such
eases is kept and shown on maps kept up-to-date.
Aviators patrolling the same section of water for days
become accustomed to these “permanent’’ patches and
\va--te no time on them. A man over new water however
must frequently consult his map.
