Many lives have been saved by this

. The artillerist who has been in the
field for months. explains an officer. is
able almost instinctively to tell
whether a shell Is headed for his bat
terry or not. The men have learned to
pay not the slightest attention to
shot that gives off the peculiar sound
indica ting that it is aimed at some
other battery or position.
Because of the confusing noise of the
artillerists' own battery. the squad
tending it usually is divided into two
groups. one of which listens for the
shells of the opponents and gives the
warning to dive for the shelters back
of the guns. The men learn to talk
with pauses between each word. listen
ing. meantime for the tell-tale whistle
of the dangerous shell.
Only in the case of the small field

yards, is it impossible to hear the shell

Aliens and Our Books.

From the st. LOUIS Glooe- Deiuotiat.
A recent dispatch from Chicago
stated that investigators had found
that the best books were read in the
Ghetto This would be surprising but
for the reports from the various public
schools of the leading cities where
alien residents most abound. In ST.
Louis the eagerness of the young aliens
to familiarize themselves with the very
best of our literature is matter OF
common knowledge. While many of our
native Americans show a prejudice
against any piece of poetry or fiction
recommended by the teacher. prefer
ring to revel in literature that is I'M
der the parental and scholastic ban,
the children of foreign birth or parent
age feel that it is privilege to be
able to read what is admittedly the
best in our literature. 1t may be that
they feel themselves under a handicap
and that they must overcome it as soon
as possible. But whatever the reason
the fact remains that they are acquir-
ing a taste for the best of our litera-
ture and, as a consequence, are getting
working knowledge of the best Eng
lish and are thinking on the highest
plane.

guns. on the other hand. give just
enough warning SO that the men can
make one dive. There isn't one frac-
ton of second to be wasted. but by
quick action the artillerist can save
himself.
The big howitzers. however. give
nearly half minutes warning. As
the officer puts it, one can hear the
shells from these guns. and still cut on
slice of wurst and take Il swallow
from ones field bottle before seeking
shelter.
The shelter in this case must be a
genuine shelter, consisting of about
three layers of heavy wood and two
yards OF earth and stone. Else the
shelter and artillerists are gone.
