Night on Listening Post Is eerie
Experience.
Small Groups Of Men Get a. Close to
Enemy's Position and Lie There
All Night Just Listening

London.-An officer back from the
British front describes the listening
post as the most trying experience of
the war. Every evening little groups
of men steal out between the oppos-
ing trench lines and squat quietly in
a depression all night long. trying to
catch in their straining earS some
inkling Of the enemy's doings.
Not until the night has we'll fallen
do the posts 30 out.
The object 10 to get a. close to the
enemy's lines as possible without be-
ing defeated: and to be able to re-
main there as long as human beings
can. until the first streaks of dawn
show in the sky.
Once the precise spot is located. the
men who will form that particular
post that night are carefully tutored
in its position by means Of the invalu-
able periscope. They instruct them
selves in the various obstacles to be
encountered on the way. and commit
little obstacle that will afford them
cover as they creep out to take up
their places after nightfall. 1t is not
easy work to map out even a hun
dred feet Of country through a peri
scope. But since dear life depends on
the accuracy Of the observations
made. those concerned are not dis
posed to leave anything to chance,
and every man could find his way

LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the
saloon who declare that II 1t was not
intended that men should drink al
coholic liquor God would not have
created the rye. the corn, etc, from
which II Is manufactured, the Ameri
can Issue says: They might declare
that II God had not intended men to
drink booze. he would not have Gre
atei the wood that builds the saloon,
the brass in the fixtures, the quartz
melted into the goblet or the iron
which. molten, makes the stove. They
might carry the argument farther and
say that II God had not intended men
to drink alcoho. that he would not
have created the mouth with which
to imbibe. Until 1t can be shown that
God created q mans tongue 30 that
he could lie and hands that he might
steal, there is not very much In the
argument that the Creator made corn
and, rye that men might make alco,
hof therefrom for the purpose Of pois.
