58 German Planes
Shot Down Since
Sept. 3, Say French
Sub Captain Who Sank
With 24,600 More Tons
Courageous Credited
By the Auoclited Press.
PARIS, March 14.-Offlcial French
reports today listed 58 German
planes shot down from the start of
the war September 3 to March 10.
Sergt. Edouard Sales was named
as the leading French ace, with four
German planes to his credit. He
won a citation February 23.
In all, 50 flyers have been deco
rated for shooting down enemy air
craft.

Low ceilings forced a pause in
western front aerial activity today,
and French military sources said the
land warfare was confined to a few
bursts of machine gun fire across
the Rhine.
German Sub Captain
Wins New Laurels
BERLIN, March 14 (>P).—The sub
marine captain who sank the British
aircraft carrier Courageous Septem
ber 18 reported sinking 24,600 tons
of shipping on his second cruise, the
German high command announced
today.
Its communique said:
“On the western front, no special
events.
“South of Strasbourg one French
plane of the Mureaux type was shot
down by German anti-aircraft ar
tillery.
“Lt. Capt. Schuhart, returning
with his U-boat from his latest
cruise against the enemy, reported
sinking 24,600 gross registered tons.
Thus Lt. Capt. Schuhart, who in
September last year destroyed the
British airplane carrier Courageous,
in the course of two cruises against
the enemy has sunk a total of 66,566
tons.”
Sinking of the 3,303-ton German
steamer Eschersheim yesterday 2
miles from Rudberg Kude Light, off
the Jutland coast in the North Sea,
was reported by DNB, official Ger
man news agency.
"Wild West Batf Amid Bunkers
Helps Make Westwall Livable
By WALLACE R. DEUEL,
Chlcaso Dally New* Porelan Correspondent.
WITH THE GERMAN ARMY AT
THE WESTWALL, March 0 (de
layed).—The main line of German
fortifications seems like an odd
place to find a "Wild West Bar,” but
there is one here all the same. Its
name is proudly painted in big,
green letters on the side; it is the
canteen for a group of bunkers at
one point on the Rhine sector of
the front. Nestling in the scrub
and second-growth timber along the
Rhine, it is not more than 1,000 feet
from'the French machine guns on
the other side.
There is, in fact, the front-line
equivalent of a whole little country
crossroads business center at this
point. Besides the “Wild West Bar,”
there is a temporary field post office
and a miniature lending library.
The 'Wild West Bar," the post
office and library are unusual in
degree, but typical in kind of the
ways in which the German troops
have made life human and livable
and somehow even homey along
this front, despite the cold, precise
and calculating Inhumanity of war
itself.
War Takes Cover.
War, especially in the machine
age, seeks to take cover in the dis
guise of the innocent, the human
and the homely. Grass and shrubs
growing on the bunker tops and

even fake doorknobs have been
painted on false {minted doom on 15
feet of solid reinforced concrete.
Homes have been turned into fort
resses again, as they were in the
Middle Ages, all over this sector of
the front, too, so that it is as hard
to draw a line between war and
peace here architecturally now as it
has been to draw the line morally all
over Europe for the past two years.
Cellars are reinforced and gun em
placements laid in barns so that
every building In every village can
be defended. A man’s home Is a
castle, In sober truth, in Europe
nowadays—not his castle, however,
but the state’s.
Not only have homes become fort
resses, though. Fortresses have also
become homes. Besides the camou
flage which war itself requires, the
warm vitality of human living, apart
from war and In spite of war, asserts
itself even in the forwardmoet
bunkers.
Because this is a quiet sector, most
unwarlike-looking wood and tar
paper shanties have been built to
supplement the not-excesslve space
of the fortifications themselves.
Friendly smoke rises from improvised
tin stovepipes. The heartening smell
of beef stew comes freely from the
peacefully open doors of the bunk
ers. A shaggy dog ranges happily
through the underbrush back from
the river.
