of all weapons in preparing the way
for attack. In advance Of an attack
on large scale there are often sew
eral days of continuous artillery duel
during which the big guns of both
sides try to locate and put out Of
action the opposing guns. In fact, on
the western front the artillery duel
never entirely ceases.
The chief qualities of a good ar
tilleryman are intelligence and te-
nacity. He must know his gun so
we'll that he can not only play his
own part but, If necessary, can take
the place of any of his comrades. He
must have the courage that enables
him to hold any position assigned to
him until the order Is given to move.
Similar to the artillery in many re-
spects are the machine-gun troops
Machine guns shoot out steady
stream of bullets and have great
value against an attack from the
front. They may also be readily car
ried forward by attacking troops and
used with great effect against the de-
tenders of a position
"A sklrmish line can not advance
by walking or running when hostile
machine guns have the correct range
and are ready to fire. Machfne-gun
fire is not especially effective against
troops lying on the ground or crawl
ing. When opposed by machine gun,
without artillery to destroy them in
fantry itself can silence them before
1t can advance. Concealment and pa
tent waiting for critical moments and
exceptional opportunities are the
special characteristics Of the ma
chinegun service In decisive actions"
Infantry Drill Regulations, pars
542, 545-546).
In handling machine guns, just as
in handling artillery, intelligence and
tenacity are the qualities most needed
There are mum berless examples in the
present war of courageous self-re-
lance on the part of individual SOL
diers in repairing or serving machine
gums while under fire, and thus play

TIME FOR A HALT.

Old Uncle Sam is a pretty easy
going sort of fellow. This has been
proven in more cases than one. He
has the patience of Job. It takes a
long time to get him aroused. For
proof of this we need but refer to the
ers before the entrance of the United
States into the war,-and even after.
It seems that the good old Uncle Sam
believes in letting a man 60 to the
end of his rope, and hanging him
self
1t is all axiom of years standing
he hits. Take a good-natured, lovable,
kindly character. Torment him, jolly
him, even, as they say in the classics,
kidd him. and he will never allow
his temper to be ruffled. That is, up
to a certain point. Then, beware.
When such a person, man or woman
gets started 1t takes an entire police
force, with reserves, to quiet the
neigh borhood
So it is with Uncle Sam. He has
about reached the limit of forbear-
ance. Many more crimes leveled
against him and somebody, or some
thing, is going to feel the weight of
his fist. The pacifists and their Ber-
lin hackers have brought about the

s'The Twilight Of the Kings"

(Annie johnson Flint In New York
Times).
Three Kings, there be, and one is mad
i And one is weak and one is old,
And al, are bHnd-they will not see
The Hand that writes a doom FORE
told;
And all are deaf-they will not hear
The Voice that speaks, the Word it
brings
Voice of the people and of God
"This il the twilight Of the Kings"
From mountain pass from fertile
plain
Where harvests wait the reapers'
tread,
From vineyards on the sunny slopes
Where dressers Of the vines lie
dead,
From homes where starving children
wait
The fathers coming-and in vain,
From pallid cheeks and voiceless lips
OF manhood wrecked and manhood
slain,
From smold'ring roofs and blackened
walls.
From idle wheels Of labor stilled.
From ancient battleflelds, and new.
That reek Of blood unjustly spilled,
A solemn Voice that cries aloud,
Through all the world the portent
rings:
1.-THE sword shall free US from the
This is the twilight of the Kings
1t is the twilight spent, the day
OF splandor, tyranny and crime,
The long, long day that had its
birth
Within the far-off dawn Of Time
The day Of iron hand and heel,
OF bondage, cruelty and woe,
The day of Babylon and Rome,
OF Louis, Herod, Pharaoh,
The night that follows on that day
Across the world It's shadow f1ings
The outworn dynasties shall pass
1t Is the twilight Of the Kings!
Fast falls the night; beyond it's
gloom
There shines the dawns Of better
things
The light of liberty and peace,
OF Justice higher than the Kings.
When breaks that dawn, no more one
man
Snail move q H11lIOn at his Will
Like pawns upon a chessboard played,
To vaunt his power and his skill:
No more one man by right divine"
On age-old wrongs his House
shall build,
No more the slogan might makes
right
Shall serve his selfish greed to
gild,
Their glory fades as fades the day,
In fire and blood their sun has set,
Though in the swiftly darkening
skies
A smoky crimson fingers yet;
For hopeless when the tide has
turned,
To fight against the trend of things
The thrones are rocking to. their
