IN THE CRISIS OF BATTLE
Awful Strain Upon the Nerves Of SOL
diers Before an Assault 10
Made on Enemy.

In modern warfare the ten min
utes preceding an infantry attack hold
for both sides the most intense strain
human nerves can Withstand. To
crouch in shelters through hours Of in
tense bombardment, to be fully con-
scious during that suspense Of what is
coming, and finally, when the shells are
falling like haiistones before the bar
rage Is lifted further back, to wait for
the appalling cry from the lookout {:
Here they Gomez" all these expert
ences are likely to torture exceedingly
and stupefy defending force. But for
the attacking soldier there is, perhaps,
a more trying experience, writes cor
respondent to the London Globe.
The morning Of the attack dawns
and preparations are made. Yet the
strain is not apparent. Only when the
last buckle Is fastened, the last bayo-
net fixed, and the sergeant major mods
meaningly to the company commander
do the nerves tighten. Each man
stands close against the parapet, bur-
dened with his weighty equipment and
grasping a rifle. Despite the clamor
Of guns, the awful silence of waiting
inactive is unbearable. Here and there
a man is nervously lingering the am
munition pouches on his belt, another
with his eyes fixed on the trench wall,
runs trembling finger over the bayo-
net edge. There is no conversation
except for an anxious, whispered col
loquy between two officers who are
comparing watches. Then they, too,
turn to face the sandbags, silent.
You feel that something must snap
unless you speak; but the man by
your side is looking up at the airplane
that swims high up in the blue sky.
Madly and more madly shrek the
shells. No enemy can be alive in those
tortured trenches opposite; the dead
lie in the trench bottoms, lacerated and
Enthusiastically twisted. And now, you
are lowering on the brink between the
movable and the UnknOwable. There
is hereafter-yOu are quite certain of
that. 1t is wonderfully comforting. =.
The company commander is speak
ing. and his words seem strangely mum
dane and inconsequent; but their mean
ing penetrates to the material under
standing. With final, unbelievable
crash, the shelling ceases. A whistle
shrieks and the charge Is on.

II went to milk the cows, and sat
down by our old roam. She had col

with cobblestones, on the end Of her

up to my milking when she swung
that loaded tail around and soaked me
on the nose. I tell you, professor, a

SENATOR sHAFRorA ON
PUBLIC LANDS COMMITTEE

From Washington comes the re-
port that Senator John F. Shafroth
of Colorado has been named as a
member Of the public lands commit
tee CT the Senate. This should be
the west, because Of Mr. Shafroth g
familiarity with the public land ques.
tion and his answering opposition
to the hypocritical conservation move
ment. There can Re no doubt that
he will use his utmost energies to
prevent the adoption of hostile legis-
laticn by congress. Next to the late
Senator Henry M. Teller, Mr.. Shat
roth has represented the citizens Of
Colorado in important public offices
longer than amy man in the history
of the state. He served several terms
in the lower house at Washington,
was twice governor of Colorado, and
has now served about four years in
the senate. In many respects, he
represents those views for which Sem
ator Teller stocd during the days of
his public activity. Both men have
stood for the complete sovereignty
OF the western states, and against
that developing bureaucracy at Wash
ington which has threatened, and
still threatens, the righteous liberties
OF the western people. The appoint
ment Of Senator Shafroth ON the pub.
lie lands committee gives to Colorado
two members OF this body. The O.
er is Senator Charles s. Thomas, who
has likewise taken a strong position
against the "conversationists" and
the federal land leasing. proposals.
Both Messrs. Thomas and Shafroth
have made elaborate speet hes in the
senate this winter against the pro
posed water power bill and the land
policy which it seeks to i'm.
pose upon the public land states. 1t
now begins to appear that the hostile
this session of congress, and the Col
orado senator's have had large Iart
in preventing the consummation of
the conservation conspiracy. In men
these men particularly, we do
not overlook the work that has
been done by other western repres-
entatives, of both political parties,
i'm the way OF defending the west
against its enemies. It is very for
tunate that the land question in the
west is no. partisan issue. Indeed,
it is SO far from becoming SO that
a revival of the attempt to restrict
western development is likely to
create political movement in. the
public land states apart from the es-
partisan outlines. Let Walsh
and Myers of Montana and Pittman
Of Nevada take care.-Mining Ameri-

SEATTLE WOMAN'S SON DESCRIBES THE
 SOMME BATTLE

Mrs. Alma Luton, 4340 Eleventh Avenue Northeast, has just received letter from her son. Capt. Robert M. Luton, regimental surgeon of the Six teenth Battalion, Canadian Scottish Third Infantry Brigade. First Division now somewhere in France" in which is described interesting side lights of a soldiers life in the trenches at the western front. Captain Luton former ly resided with his mother, who moved to Seattle two years ago, from Grand Rapids, Mich He attended Central High School in Grand Rapids and re- ceived his degree of M. D. in 1912. He enlisted in London, Ontario, and sailed from Halifax at the opening of the war. The letter follows:
 Tt has been rather strenuous sum- mer, especially the latter part, when we were at the Somme. That was the worst experience I ever had; it was absolutely awful and yet, now that it is over, it was really a wonderful ex- perience and the most stupendous thing anyone has ever seen. The num- Der of guns and the constant roar were 1 beyond description. We were in three big shows and did very we'll We lost an awful lot and those of my friends who were not killed in June fell down there.
 That is the one awful thing about this war You make so many friends that you think you will have after the war and then they one by one get killed off We have the Germans beat en on this front alright, but they seem to have an unlimited supply of men. But our artillery and air service is vastly superior to their now, which is az reat comfort, remembering what we had to go through in the slow British way. Everything is gradually going ahead in every branch and as sure as fate, there can only be one ending, and that is victory for us. You never hear dissenting voice, although a lot of the troops know they will never see the end.
 One of the stock jokes is about the next war between the two yellow races, Japan and the U. &. But know that opinion would change if they had a chance.
 We got pretty well acquainted with the Germans down at the Somme. We took quite lot of prisoners while we were there and lot of their wounded came through my dressing station 1 also would get hold of a dozen or two of the able bodied ones to act as stret- cher bearers. They are very meek and willing to please after they are prisoners and will work like sin.
 eve are in the trenches now, but it is very quiet place and 1 have a peach of dugout with little stove, so am quite cozy. It's very nearly as good a place as we had last year and after the Somme is like heaven.
