WAR

N reading about the war, have
you ever wondered Just how you
would feel if you were there? If
you were watching the artillery
preparation" waiting for the order
to charge? If you were actually
crossing the ground to the enemy's
trenches and jumping in?
Well, you may get pretty close to
that feeling in an article in the
Worlds Work for June No more
graphic writing has come out of the
war than the story of "Twenty-four
Hours in the Trenches" by William
j. Robinson, an American with the
British at the front. His regiment ar
rives at night to take its turn in the
trenches, only short distance from
the first line trenches of the Germans.
Things quiet. Not much doing. Sew
enteen of the men are laid out in the
night-have stopped one" as the
phrase goes. That is a fair average
for a battalion.
After breakfast the company officer
calls the men to attention and tells
them there will be work to do that
night. He suggests that if they have
letters to write he will see that they
are posted as soon as possible. The
men sit about writing and chatting
each other. A good deal of the ehaff
is bluff. After dinner further iufor-
nation is given. They are to attack
at that evening, to take three lines
of trenches, hold them three hours
and then return to the original posi-
ton. Five different places are to be
attacked simultaneously, but only one
is to be held. The rest are blinds. |
The artillery is to lombard the Ger
man first and second line trenches for
an hour and half, Then it will lift
to the third line and the first line
trench is to be stormed with the bayo-
net. That is to be neld until the |
men are ordered forward, when the |
artillery fire will again lift. In this |
way curtain of fire is to be kept |
between the attacking party and the
main body of Germans.
The afternoon drags with nerves
strained almost to the breaking point.
Tea is served at 5, but few show an
appetite. At $50 the crash of the
bombardment begins. The men are
ordered to lie fiat in the trench to
avoid the German reply, which comes
vigorously, Men begin to be hit. In
the lulls Robinson hears screams and
groans. Then the word is passed:
STAND by, ready" there is sharp
blast from whistle and the men are
over the parapets with the German
machine guns playing on them. A
moments struggle with barbed wire
and then they tumble into the Ger

The horror of the war abroad has
led various clergymen to declare that
Christianity has broken down; that
the religion of Christ is failure. In
deed, one reverend gentleman declares
that if the churches were honest, they
would close their doors. This is more
nonsense. When Christianity was
much more powerful than it is now it
did not prevent wars. If Christianity
finally breaks down, it will be the re-
suit of gradually changing conditions:
the churches will not close their doors
because Of some great evidence
against them. Christianity is cleaner
and more respectable now, and re-
sponsible for fewer wars, than it was
a hundred or two hundred or five hun
dred years ago

Taxes are funny. The man who
spends lot of money improving his
premises by buildings, etc, finds his
taxes doubled. The fellow who lets
his property run down until it is an
eyesore finds that his taxes grow
less. Why not reward the fellow who
improves the town instead of penal
izing him?

Whether nominated or not, the i'm
pressive fact in regard to the political
career of Justice Charles E. Hughes
is that his honors have been forced
upon him and have come unsought.
This has been true throughout. He is
not self seeking politician. He does
not maneuver and pun strngs; he
does not make combinations and com
promises in order to obtain office His
merit is so great that his country calls
him, as countries used to call men in
days of old.
