You expect anything. Those are the horrible moments and the following is an in- stance:
 'The German attack was beginning. In a little wood near Vaux we had made for ourselves a hiding place, taking advantage of a hollow in the ground where the searchlights passed oyer us. All day and evening the German artillery searched out our lines all around our shelter. Great shells tore craters, but our impro- vised trench remained untouched. Toward o'clock in the morning the guns stopped. For nine hours my men had not moved nor spoken. for fear of revealing their presence. Their nerves were worn to rags. could feel their powers of resistance failing
 
 some one would shout and bring down a shower of heavy shells upon us.
 Mysterious life filled the night life which none of us understood full of strange lights and sounds. My men began to grit their teeth. This epyeloping mystery tortured their nerves. Some closed their eyes, oth- CTS gnaw their fists. Before us we
 
 tainly Germans. We waited for them with machine guns loaded and pointed but our orders were to let the as sailants approach and to shoot them down safely from our shelter. But the men could hold themselves in no longer. Those groping shadows, in the darkness pierced by mysterious flashes, set them mad, and they ragged at not being able to understand why they were kept tied down in a hole.
 Suddenly before could stop them. they leaped from the hole and fell upon the Germans in the dark, yell ing like mad men. They should have perished to man under the fire of the German machine guns but luck was on their side and in a minute they were all back in the trench, quite ca1med. They had at length pierced, at the peril of their lives. the mystery of the lights, that mystery peopled with phantoms and will-o'- the-wisps, which causes the bravest to shudder."

Candidate Worthy
Of Your Support

}. +. Clayton of Mobridge is candi-
date for the nomination as County
Judge in Walworth county at the Re.
publican primary election to be held
May 23rd, 1915. Mr.. Clayton is a man
fifty years Of age, man Of wide prac.
tical experience in public affairs, a
cultured, educated, christian man. He
is graduate from the Iowa Teachers
College, the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, Iowa University, and of
the Law School for the South Dakota
University.
After completing his school work in
Iowa he was actually engaged in ed
icational work as superintendent of
"ity schools in that state and from
that experience has had much to do
with the growth and development of
Dur splendid school system.
Upon completing his law work, he
'emOved with his family, from Yer
million, South Dakota, to Mobridge,
where he has been actively engaged
in the practice of his profession and
has succeeded in building up a good
business.
Mr.. Clayton has been a resident of
the state of South Dakota for the last
ten years and Of the city of Mobridge
for the last seven years. During that
time he has been actively affiliated
with the Republican party supporting
its candidates and promoting its poll
cies.
The opponents of Mr.. Clayton are
using, to his detriment. a Topographic
cal error made in the History of South
Dakota, where in his biography as
shown on page 667 of volumn five the
| statement is made that he Is a demo
crat. The News would like to cor
ect that error as Mr.. Clayton has al
| ways been and Is now identified with
The Republican party, and stands for
all the principles of the party.
Another feature which the News de
sires to represent to the voters of Mo
| bridge is that Mobridge deserves some
of the county officies and this is es
pecially true when we have man who
is as competent to hold the Office and
| deal out justice as Mr.. Clayton is.
