S. Arms —“Top Dog” In Their Sector Now. BY FRED S. FERGUSON, United Press Staff Correspondent. With the Artieriean Army in Pic ardy, May 29 (delayed)—American troops showed their punching power at Cantigny. From behind a friendly pile of beets, on a knoll in tho great pialn which faces Cantigny, I witnessed the at tack which resulted in capture of the village. Amidst the detonations of hundreds of guns which filled the valley with smoke and dust and flame, the American troops went over the top. With a spirit which would not be de nied they followed the French tanks preceding them across No Man's Rand and with them penetrated more than a mile into the boche positions. Overhead French and American shells made veritable ribbons of sound as they hurtled across the German positions. As I walked past battery after battery in action, the crash of guns was deafening. Rounding a sharp corner, I came upon one battery which had been wheeled into the open and was wither ing the enemy with direct phint blank fire. So smothered with French and American shells was the boche artil lery that French guns were standing squarely in the open at a crossing of the roads, bellowing defiance and hammering the way for the American infantry. Overhead French aeroplanes carrying American observers darted in and out amidst the smoke of battle, flying low, signaling to the batteries and harassing tbe enemy. ~‘OI<T Glory"' Over Huns. I saw an American flag fluttering from one plane which was headed straight for the front after having dropped a message at headquarters and a moment later I knew that the stars and stripes were waving over a new scene in American history, direct ing the fire of our guns whose shells raked the ground until it was like the open gate of hell. Across the valley the outlines of Cantigny's ruins were occasionally visible through the smoke. To the rear an observation hill, once wooded, had been almost stripped, the bare skeltons of the remaining trees standing like skeletons in the early sunlight. Then a straight line of fluffy white smoke appeared at the base of the hill and moved slowly upward, enveloping everything as it advanced. It was the barrage behind which the Americans could be seen through field glasses like mere dots creeping slowly and steadily forward behind the curtain of their own fire. In the valley French tanks crept and slid and slipped like cater pillars toward the enemy. Their sides spat fire at the Germans- as they ad vanced and cleaned up the enemy ma chine gun nests with the doughboys trailing behind them. Battled in Gas Clouds. Meanwhile the artillery fire contin ued in terrific volume. Bursting shells from the big guns could be seen far to the rear of the German lines. All ‘he German batteries were bathed In a deluge of gas and the roads behind over which the enemy might send re inforcements were kept under a con stant rain of high explosive shells. German sausage balloons attempting observation work drifted and swung in mid air but the French planes main CENSURING MOVIES BIG JOB IN CHICAGO Superintendent of Police Tells Something of Task Twelve Censors Have. Chicago—Ten years of moving pic ture censorship in Chicago have re sulted in the elimination of hundreds of thousands of feet from films shown to more than 400,000 persons daily, accord ing to Maj. M. C. Funkhouser, second deputy superintendent of police, who reviewed the problems lie had encoun tered as "moral censor" of the second largest city in the United States, when he defended the ordinances under which he operates, from recent attacks. According to Major Funkhouser, the board of 12 censors, the members of which are selected by civil service, and which sits in judgment on the pictures, has little or no discretion in ordering “cut-outs" or refusing to issue permits, as they merely adhere to city ordi nances, and the state law which prohib its hanging scenes. The ordinances, among other things, prohibit the allow ing of pictures immoral, obscene or which portray riotous disorderly or other unlawful scenes which have u tendency to disturb tbe public peace. Within the^ last year 10.694 motion pictures were inspected by the censor and his aides and out of this number only 1E3 were rejected in their entirety. Major .Funkhouser asserted. The aver age film is approximately 1.000 feet in length and the total number of feet rejected by tbe censor last year was 216,556. The cost of maintaining the censor ing department is more than paid for by the permits issued to the producers, which cost $1 each. Last year 29,697 permits were issued. The 12 . censors draw salaries ranging from $120 to $135 a month. ' The trouble with the motion picture producers of today is that from 25 to sO per cent of the pictures produced deal with sex, the eternal triangle, af finity, and white slave problems,” Major Funkhouser declared. "As approxi mately 80 per cent of the motion pic ture audiences are composed of women and children, especially children, in theaters, outside of the downtown dis trict, and as children often obtain their ideas of morality from the pictures, a close guard is necessary to see that the pictures do not convey erroneous ideas.” Within a year the city was made de fendant in 12 suits by motion picture concerns, Major Funkhouser said. The courts, both state and federal, have de clared the city ordinances constitu ■ tional, and out of seven cases tried, the city has won six. The seventh was lost on a technicality, the moral censor explained. Five suit^are pending. Two kinds of permits are granted the producers, one being called the "white” permit, and the other the "pink” or adult permit. The latter. Major Funk houser explained, was for adults only. In these pictures, some sex problems and scenes are permitted, he said. The number of films received weekly for inspection runs from 200 to 250, and the moral censors are given three days to pass on a picture, ar.d issue a per mit. A regular motion picture theater 1 sestabliehed in one of the larger rooms of the city hall, where three screens and three motion picture ma chines enable fore than one picture to tained supreme control of the air throughout the fight. The weather was ideal for an attack. After a night spent in a dugout, I started to walk further toward the front. At daybreak a mist hung over the valley, concealing everything. Slanting rays of sunlight gradually broke through the mist soon revealed the American batteries already in ac tion. New guns appeared suddenly in ! the most unexpected places, having ! been brought up during the night. Tne fire of heavy artillery was so violent that separate explosions behind the enemy's line could scarcely be dis tinguished. The roar wsts more like that of a gigantic blast furnace. Oc casionally during ttie shelling a thick column of black smoke could he dis tinguished behind the boehe front line, signalling the destruction of some Ger man ammunition dump. When I reached the beet pile observation post, the battle was at its height. Return ing across the fields German prisoners slipped along between lines of Ameri cans covered with the dust and grime of battle but grinning broadly. Clean Up Wi'th Bombs. When tha American infantrymen en tered Cantigny they opend a grenade attack on the enemy and quickly cleared the village. Within Cantigny is a natural cave capable of holding 400 persons. Forty Americans carry ing flame throwers were detailed to take *are of that spot and places like it. American machine gunners fol lowed the Infantry closely and the qewly won lines were quickly consoli dated. After the capture of the village, car rier pigeons carried by men in the first company which went over the top were released and carried back to head quarters the reports of the battle's progress. Men of the signal corps rapidly strung wires to all points of the occupied territory and soon all of it was in tqtieh with the commander. When I returned to the rear I passed the batferies still standing in the open and pumping shells into the Germans. Smiling French artillerymen cried out: "Bon Americans; Battu l-es Roches.” Ball Game Under Fire. Passing into a village behind the American lines, which for days had been under shell fire, I found a full blown ball game progressing while the artillery not far away was still firing. Drawn up in a rather battered field, with a shell hole as first base, two teams of doughboys who had not been involved In the Cantigny battle were staging a baseball fight of their own, paying no heed to the German shells whistling overhead. In the headquarters dugout tele phones were jingling and officers were receiving detailed reports of every movement at the front. There I learned that the enemy was making a relief when the American attack was launched. Two German regiments were thus caughj unprepared. By 8 o'clock all the tanks had re turned and all the objective positions had been consolidated. The extension of the American lines takes an obser vation post from the boches and puts the Americans on the slope of a hill with the enemy beneath them. It also cuts off the observation the Germans had of the entire American sector. be run at the same time. As a rule, two or more of the censors’ staff sit and pass judgment on one picture. "The city of Chicago is the only city In the country which has a civil service censor board," Major Funkhouser said. "Ohio, Kansas and Pennsylvania, how ever, have state censorship boards.” Some Self-Made Men. From the Omaha World-Herald.

The recent arrests in New York of girls of from 1G to 20 In the Tenderloin cafes, chop suey joints and back rooms of saloons ought to bring about a little bet ter training and discipline in some homes. Girls who wilfully lie to their mothers about their absence at night and their companions are in need of proper disci plining. Girls ought to be obliged to be at home at 10 p. m. if not on business of necessity. Mothers of girls between 11 and 20 should look after them and find out about their companions and amusements. Girls who frequent cafes. • chop suey joints and the rear rooms or | saloons ought to be picked up by an ; officer, taken to a police court and their ! pare nts subpoenaed and a notification given them of their daughter’s delin quency. Then a magistrate could impose a sentence to Jiave them taken home land a Severe spanking administered. I 1 venture to say that correction in this form would do more good than lectures and heart-to-heart talks. There are times when it becomes necessary to spank a girl for deliberate lies and disobedience, even though she be brought up strictly and carefully.
