PARIS. France The uneXampled
conditions of fighting before NerduI
have developed a new type u s"ldieI
called the couriers of Nerdun. hey
are the men who maintain :umntuni
| cation between the troops in :te
midst of the meles and officers ON"
handing from the rear The latte
field into which they dart with orders
or after information is desolate"
zone where nothing but thick 'mok4,
sometimes black, sometimes White,
gives appearance of life; excepting
during the brief time of an infantry
attack, it is to all appearances de-
serted; the sharpest eye i s., Ners no
movement of humanity. The earth is
everywhere furrowed by freshly stir
red earth, but no one sees the hand
that stirred it.
Occasionally a form is seen going
over this desert land somewhat after
the manner Of rabbit, bounding into
sight out of the herbs end above un-
even ground to disappear again: leap
ing from obstacle to obstacle. from
ditch to ditch, from sheI; hole to shell
hole as it approaches the front line,
at times vaulting, at others crawling,
and sometimes kept motionless for
considerable periods by showers Of
projectile sent over from the other
side of the line for his personal bene-
fit This is the messenger of modem
battle; he was never TIore needed nor
more useful than at Verdun and the
type will probably hear the name for
years to come of ,'tho courier of Yer
dun. j" ....
Not a telephone line can resist the
incessant bombardmemt that Gigs up
the soil and levels ali field work along
the whole line in front of this fort
ress; consequently to assure Commu-
nications between the front and rear
is a difficult problem. Commun:ca-
tons by carrier pigeons are very I'LL,
certain and optical signals are insult
ficient for various reasons. Nothing
is certain excepting the man himself
and to transmit Information and or
ders across that beaten field requires
something extraordinary in the way
of man. He must be an athlete with
good lungs and, above all, he must
have stout heart.

I'd always with soldiers going TO or

ing carried back. with men OF the
cOmmiSSary department carrying pro-
visions to the men on guard That Is
too slow route for the courier of
Verdun; he must take his chances of
being sighted-and hit-above ground.
The first formidable obstacle is the
zone that is beaten by drum fire. "
where S-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch shells
are bursting with formidable explos-
ions. sending showers of sharpnel
over the whole zone. In going through
this ordeal the courier sees every
where the spectacle of death, stun
bles over eorpses, sometimes runs in
to cloud of poison vapor before he
has crossed it; once through, he is
within range of the smaller German
guns and the quick firers.
During the whole distance aof a
mile or two miles, according to the
position. his nerves are at the highest
tension. with his mind on the end Of
his mission and at the same time on
the obstac!", that are multiplied each
instant in his path.
Some of these couriers get through
untouched, others crawl back to the
starting point bruised or MANNED
Some of them never come back to tell
the story of their heroic effort.
The risks are so great for these
messengers that they are generally
sent in couples; if one is hit the
other may get through. Two of these
men from tie cotEilludiay post Of q
brigade crossed the Fumin woods;
they were almost at their goal when
the shell of German 3-incher struck
one of them full in the chest. His
comrade stopped and searched the
body for the message, but found moth

pocket and the paper that was in it.
He made hSs way back to the post,
seemed almost ashamed not to have
executed bis mission, and asked:
Colonel, give me duplicate of the
message" He received a pint of wa
ter, which was in those days the cour.

LOOKING FOR WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it ism the work halfso much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard.
=. Rich blood, strong lungs and health
full digestion make work pleasurable
in business, in school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, but weak and ner-
vous-would just take SCOTS Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
to pulsate through every artery and
vein-let it build structure of healthy
tissue and give you vigorous strength
you would find work easy and would
look for more. Insist on SCOTS. -
