British sandbag projections IN desert
Il before GAIA (top) and around gun
crew on British monitor.
In peace times we think Of the sand
bag as a weapon Of q thug or high
way man. IN war sandbags-larger, o.
course are used extensively to protect
life.
The British made most liberal use Of
sandbags in the drive on Jerusalem. In
the desert before GAIA sandbag pro-
tections were relied upon almost en-
stirely to guard the front line forces
from the Turks.
on fshting ships the sandbags have
recently been employed to good adj
vantage to protect gunners.
Il The lower photo shows an anti-air-
craft gun crew enclosed by bags on
the deck Of q British monitor in the
Adriatic.
The turrets Of the ships. anmuni-
ton matches and other vulnerable
points arc protected by the bags.

The Humor and the Truth.

The Humor and the Truth.
(After Longfellow.)
L breathed rumor into the air,
1t was accepted everywhere,
For so swiftly 1t spread that I
Could not explain it was lie.
I breathed the truth into the air,
1t fell quite nearly everywhere,
For who in those days cares foresooth
For thing so stale as the simple
truth?
For long months afterward-oh! how
long!,
I found the rumor going strong,
But the truth, from beginning to end
Was holly denied by my dearest friend
From the Passing Show.
