Lying on a stretcher at a second |
line dressing station, he said: “We were moving up -along icy paths in double column: te occupy 8 valley, with our heavy artillery covering us. Snew -was falling heavily. We could scarcely see 300 yards ahead. Suddenly we heard shrill bugle notes from the slopes above. Our commander ordered us to deploy. °
Admits Being Seared
- “Then we saw what seemed like 1000 men emerging silently and swiftly from the mist of snow, swooping dewn upon us and firing from their hips. I was honestly scared. But our commander, cool as the icicles which hung to his mutache, ordered our machine guns to throw ou’ a eress-fire. “We took the Alpini the same way we would take a cavalry charge. Our fire picked them off regularly. Only a few pierced our lines alive. “Then their main force swerved in a wide semi-circle. We fell to the ground. Even our mules learned to take cover in deep snow after a few of them were killed.
Mules Adapt Themselves
“More waves of Alpini skiers tobogganed down on us. Their white " cloaks sailed behind them like wings. Our boys waited for them until they were within: accurate firing range. They got through our first line, but not our second. We smashed the attack.” £5? Greek mountaineers are eagerly trying out captured Italian ;skis and might soon form the first ski battalion in the history of the Greek Army. 3 The Greek mules also are adapting themselves to winter conditions, and can be seen up to their bellies in snow, dragging guns on sledges or bringing up litters te receive wounded.

Blackouts in Eurape and “juke boxes” in America have sent the piano business booming, William R. Steinway of Steinway &: Sons declared with a warm smile here today. Mr. Steinway, - jovial . although he arose early to meet the press, is European manager of the
1825 makers of fine pianos, “People try to be home by dark in Europe now,” Mr. Steinway said, and so they have to entertain themselves. Once in a while they buy a piano. “Walking down a street in America, ‘one is bound to hear some rhythm and melody coming from a radio or gramophone,” the portly Mr. Steinway said. (He prefers the term “gramophone” to phonograph or “juke box,” as the tavern music boexs are called sometimes.) “When a man hearg. something like ‘A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody’ or ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes'—perfectly lovely meladies—he may want to reproduce that meledy sometime himself.” Often this desire takes the form of bath tub singing, Mr. Steinway said. . Or a man wants to hear a melody may go out and buy a piano and produce the musie himself.
bert is worthy patron.

these latter to- make the piano industry very, very good—“2%.per cent; better than last year,” Mr. Steinway beamed, The industry as a whole will turn out—and sell—135,000 to 140,000 pianos this year in his estimation. Mr. Steinway, one of the 10 third, fourth and fifth generation Steinways still running the firm's interests, came to Indianapolis to attend the opening of the Steinway salons at the Wilking Music Co., 120 E. Ohio St. He was accompanied by Roman de Majewski, manager of the Steinway wholesale department. Shortly after breakfast, Mr. Steinway was serenaded in:his Claypool Hotel rooms by church choir singers under the direction of Jane Johnson Burroughs, director of the Burroughs School of Music.

Envoy With Tact Needed to
Fer American Aid.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor,
American relations has the question of the British Ambassadership Here been quite go. important as new. Thus, while recognizing the com-
official suggestion or intimation bearing on the successor to the late Marquess of Lothian, unofficially there is considerable interest in who it is to. be. Fer it is taken for granted that the post will not be vacant long. : It is not going-to be easy to fill Lord Lothian’s shoes. To su the next Ambassador must knew American: and British psychology equally well. He must have great executive ability, endless energy, be a goad
tact he must possess to an degree.
: Avoided U. S. Election
For example: Lord Lothian decided to spend a few weeks in England- just before our. Presidential elections. Though he said nothing whatever about it, his principal reason was to be away from the United States during the campaign. Then nobody could accuse him of meddling in the domestic affairs ef this country. His absence did net appear studied, but rather as flowing from a natural awareness of the right thing to do, a sense that is generally referred to as tact. : The new British Ambassador must have, as Lord Lothian ‘had, the quality of knowing what to do, when and how to do it. He must not ‘be too timid, for he would get nowhere, Yet if he is too belligerent, he will rub Americans the wrong way and the result will he the same.

£ President Roosevelt and other high Administration officials today voiced their desire to accord both, official and personal honor to Lord Lothian, whose sudden death yesterday was considered a blow to British negotiations for more American aid. Final funeral arrangements awaited ward from his three sisters in Great Britain and the British Government. It was considered likely that if they wished, his body would be returned to Britain by an American warship. a
Claims Classics Lack Vitamins
“CLASSIC QUOTATIONS” even though her husband learned them at college, is a poer substitute for groceries, a young wife remonstrated in a divorce petition today. : She charged that “everytime” she asked her husband for greeery meney “he would terminate the conversation with quotations
