TELLS OF FIGHTING
HE ACTUALLY SAW

Note: Following is the first of a
series of articles by Phil RAIDER, a for
mer United Press correspondent, who.
since the outbreak of the war, has
been serving with the World-famous
Foreign Legion of the French army.
His regiment of 1,500 men having been
reduced to 3S5 after AZ months in
the trenches, change in assignment
entailing a furlough in London made
possible preparation of these articles,
the first from a trained American
newspaper man actually engaged in
the fighting. RAIDER, a son of the
Rev. William RAIDER, for years pastor
of Calvary Presbyterian church Of
San Francisco, has drawn a vivid de
tailed picture of the War Of 1915 that
strips the grim profession Of its last
vestige of romance and reveals its
CHASTITY horrors in a manner so stril-
ing as to cause the narratives TO stand
out as one of the really great jour
nalistic accomplishments Of the war

body slowly shrivels. Nobody from
either side has been able to get that
body to bury it. 1t is buried there in
the air on the barbed wire and it will
be gradually shot away.

that's the thing that turns you to
beast, but it's a part Of trench life
that is unavoidable.
The first thing that shocks you in
the trenches is to discover that, after
time, you are able to watch men
writhing in pain with perfect equa-
nimity. My first experience in this
happened one day when a young Eng
lishman in my squad, named Samuels,
tried to take q short cut to the rear
and, instead Of following the maze Of
trenches got out into the open in
front of our trench. A German bull

schar's body stiffened and we could
see he was dead.
This was at , o'clock in the after
noon. Whenever we tried to get out
to help Samuels the Germans turned
a terrific fire our way and. although
we could even hear Samuels groaning.

Then Victor Chapman of New York

his head while he was peepinp about
the trench, Lieutenant Francois, who
conducted the funeral ceremony. said
to US as we stood over the grave:
This is a lesson for you Young
men to take to heart. You must not
be careless"
Think Of that as part of a funeral
service!
Most Of the divisions of infantry
men who spent five-day watches in
the trenches during the AZ consecutive
days that | was there with the ma
chine gun squad buried their dead
right in the trenches. Sometimes
they would scoop out grave in the
side Of the trench. Or sometimes
they would dig a grave in the floor
oI the trench. They would not know.
of course, where other divisions had
buried their dead, 50 it was no un
common thing to come across a rot
ting body. Then that part of the
trench would be polluted for days un-
til the rain had washed away the last
traces Of the unspeakable mess.
There you are, among the dead. No
cave man ever lived so terribly as YOU
do At least he buried his dead at a
distant nont and lived away from The
grave; but we were prisoners with
our dead, sleeping, as it were, along
side OF them, as much prisoners as
they. You get to feel that the only
difference between you and a dead
man is that your little bullet hasn't
found you yet.
Looking death in the face in this
way. Il strange custom rose up among
the men in the trenches. There was
a little Greek in our trench who was
fatalist. He used to say:
q know I'll get it some Of these
days when my time comes"
Now the minute you hear a soldier
talking that way YOU know he will
get it. The trench is no place for
a fatalist, and a fatalist, in my ex-
perience, is not good soldier, be-
cause he will GROW impatient over the

1t Is common saying that THE bull

and Preside. The cows, the hens, the
ewes. the mares and the sows are on

is expensive. 1t requires a complete
readjustment Of things. 1t Is hard
thing to do.
But the male side OF the house Is EN-
bodied in one animal. He can be dis

ly obtained at reasonable expense.
As Fraser Of Ohio says, each COW IN

Of the milk capacity transmitted to the

as any one COW. But succession OF

DDS in feeding the young calf. The
principal causes are as follows: Over
feeding. feeding cold milk, irregular
feeding. feeding alfalfa or other highly
nitrogenous hay to the young calf,
using dirty pals and dirty stables.
The first sign Of indigestion. or
scours. among calves Is usually the
characteristic foul smelling dung.
When a calf shows the first signs of
scours the milk should be reduced one
half or more and then gradually In
creased again as the calf improves.
This method of treatment Is usually
sufficient to check mild case There
have been many remedies suggested
for treatment OF the scours, and all are
used with more or less success. The
proved very effective. This may be
fed by adding about teaspoouful OF
soluble dried blood to the milk and
stirring 1t in well. Dried blood not
only acts as a tonic, but often is fed
along with milk at each feed on &C
count OF its feeding value. as well as
its value as preventive treatment
against the scours. Fresh eggs given
to the calf when the SCOUTS Is first no
ticed often checks the attack. Castor
oil Is also used with good results. Two
tablespoonfuls are sufficient for dose
This may be given as drench mixed
with milk.
