dam. saw Mrs. Lizard swan almost
as we'll as Murray. She had reached
the other oar, and, pushing it before
her, came on towards us.
When she reached the boat neither
she nor Murray exchanged a word
She swung herself in over the edge,
| felt the boat dip, l saw Murray
look back of him again. And the
next instant she stood in front and
Murray behind, swinging those oars
deep into the water like paddles.
It scarcely seemed like the awful
struggle l know now it was, for they
were so big and strong both, so ST.
lent, and with the rhythm of their
paddle stroke the boat began, little by
little, to crawl away from the dam
and towards the island.
The wind was making a good deal
of noise, but l could hear the way
their breath came, hard and painting.
Once away from the dam we gained
rapidly on the island And then at
last we were there.
As the boat grounded on the gravel
beach a vague fear came over me, a
fear that once again l had done some
thing wrong. | was too frightened

France Claims Them Forever.

The first three American soldiers
killed in the trenches in France are
now resting in French soil, honored
by the American army and the peo-
pie and army of France. The inter
ment took place on Tuesday.
With the guard of French infantry
men in their picturesque uniform OF

side and a detachment of American
soldiers on the other the aag-wrap.
ped coffins, were lowered into the
grave as bugler blew TAPS" and the
batteries at the front fired minute
guns. The French officer command
ing the division in this section paid
tribute to the fallen Americans.
I'm the name of the --th divis-
ion, in the name of the French army
and in the name of France" he said
81 bid farewell to Private Enright,
Private Gresham and Private Hay OF
the American army.
"These graves, the first to be dug
in our national soil and but a short
distance from the enemy, are as a
mark of the mighty land we and our
allies cling firmly to in the common
task of confirming the will of the
people and the army of the United
States to fight with us to a finish,
ready to sacrifice as long as is neces-
sary until final victory for the most
noble of causes, that of the liberty OF
nations, the weak as we'll as the
strong. Thus the deaths of these
humble soldiers appear to us with ex-
traordinary grandeur.
I'VE will, therefore, ask that the
mortal remains of these young men
be left here, left with us forever. We
instribe on the tombs Here lie the
first soldiers of the republic of the
United States to fall on the soil OF
France for liberty and justice. The
passer-by will stop and uncover his
head. Travellers and men of heart
will go out of their way to come here
to pay their respective tributes.

am, Private Hay, in the name OF
France, l thank you God receive
your souls. Farewell. ."-EXcXhange

seen a more willing or capable lot in
my life, and I rather think it is the
common opinion of all.
But you're here at home. To all
intents and purposes you are in your
own homes. You are certain of three
meals a day. And they are good
meals. You'll realize that in time.
You find it rare sport to thrust into
the dummies and high fun to go chas-
ing across the fields and through the
thickets after imaginary enemies.
But you've got to get into your
mind the fact that you are going in
to fight men who want to kill you;
who would rather kill you than feed
you as prisoner, because food is an
asset not to be squandered. You've
got to realize that you are not fight
ing human beings. There may have
been sporting blood in other wars,
but you'll get no benefit of such
craftsmanship in this fight.
I've seen them throw petrol on
the clothes of wounded men and then
set fire to the poor devils. I've seen
them disembowel an enemy doctor
who sought to aid them as they lay
wounded. have no desire, nor have
| the stomach, to recite some of the
horrors l have seen. 1t might not
be altogether fair to you.
But that smile must come off your
faces. Your faces must reflect the
realization that must possess your
mind that you've got to kill or be
killed; that you must know how to
use that bayonet. You want to get
back to New York? Well, give your
self a fair show. .'-Spartanburg
