ON LINE OF BATTLE
Alfred Stead Describes Scenes in
Village Under Fire.
Effect of Modern Shells is Told In
Vivid Description of the Ruin They
Bring About-Has Praise
for Officers.

A battery arrives and remains sta
tionary in the main street. The artil-
lerymen are gay. An airship passes
overhead, two smoke spirals remain
pendent in the air, and soon we have
news. A shrapnel bursts near the
church on a tiled roof, making a red
cloud of smoke; another into a house
beside it, a yellow cloud this time;
then third right among the battery.
Six horses are killed and a caisson
is perforated and splashed with blood.
An artilleryman lies dead across mis-
gun.
All the artillerymen retire with their
guns toward us; only the overturned
caisson and the heap of horses remain.
The dead artilleryman is brought into
the temporary hospital; there is moth
ing to be done with him.
The artillerymen are all quite cheer
full. One goes back-he was seated on
the caisson when the shell struck-to
get his knapsack from the dead horse.
He returns with it, triumphantly,
blood-stained Later he goes with two
horses and brings back the caisson.
Some chasseurs come up the street.
and there are more signals and more
shells. The artilleryman beside me is
hit on the head by spent shrapnel
bullet. The officer laughingly shows
him a cabbage stump and says a man
threw it at him. The buildings around
the church are gradually becoming
skeletons, and there are no longer any
roofs. The farther end of the village
is in ruins, but happily no fires break
out.
For dinner there were potatoes
None of the men liked peeling them
although all were ready to go to the
cooking house under shell fire to fetch
the dinner.
Soon a heavy exchange of fire be
tween two batteries took place. Bits
of bursting shell went skipping about
One went "plop" into a pool near by
Some men were drawing water there
and went on unconcernedly.
The officers made the men brave be
cause they were absolutely fearless
The effect on the men of these brave
officers was magical-From Notes Ia

Arsenal Ruined by Bombs.

Rome.-The arsenal of the Austro-
Hungarian naval station at Pola, on
the Adriatic, has been almost entirely
destroyed by bombs dropped from an
Italian airship. There were at the time
in the arsenal 10 warships, including
one battleship, two cruisers and sew

are supposed to have been damaged.

Pressed Beans and Sausage.

Let one pint pea beans soak over
night, wash, drain and cook until very
tender but not broken, in boiling wa

with sausage here and there, using
about one-half pound sausage. Dis

The Piece BaQ.

Here is a sensible way of tagging
the contents of piece bag: On the
outside of the bag fasten the largest
procurable safety pin. When dress
making is over attach samples to this
pin of every remnant that goes into
the bag. A great amount of time and
patience is saved by this simple de-
vice, for one can see at a glance just
what the bag contains.
