company with Dr. G. ]. Kinsolving
who has been appointed deputy san

chology of battle, l began to lose my
sensation of fear and nervousness.

sideration Of the irregularities Of the
German parapet ahead of us, picking
out the spot where we were to enter
the trench. 1t seems silly to say it,
but | seemed to get.some sort of salts
faction out of the realization that we
had lost the percentage which we
might be expected to lose going over.
Now, it seemed, the rest of us were
safe until we should reach the next
phase of our undertaking; heard d1-

self My voice was firm. 1t surprised
me, and l felt almost calm. Our ar
tillery had so torn up the German barb
wire that it gave us no trouble at all.
We walked through it with only a few
scratches. When we reached the low,
sandbag parapet of the enemy trench
we tossed in few bombs and follow
ed them right over as soon as they had
exploded. There wasn't German In
sight. They were all in their dugouts.
But we knew pretty well where every
dugout was located, and we rushed FOR
the entrances with our bombs. Every
thing seemed to be going just as we
had expected it to go. Two Germans
ran plump into me as was rounding
ditch angle with bomb In my hand.
They had their hands up, and each OF
them yelled:
Mercy, kamerad"
passed them back, to be sent to the
rear, and the man who received them
from me chuckled and told them to
move lively. The German trenches
were practically just as we had ex-
pected to find them, according to our
sample. They were so nearly similar
to the duplicate section in which we
had practiced that we had no trouble
finding our way in them. I was just
thinking that really the only, tough
part of the job remaining would be
getting back across No Mans Land
when it seemed that the whole earth
behind me rose in the air. For mo-
ment 7 was stunned and half blinded

party.

tae breast of the pupil is teacher
whose efforts the nation would be
better off without. AS the branch Of
childhood is trained, so grows the
staunch tree of patriotic zeal.
In connection with the sentiment n

papers OF that city the following
story, which in itself is stirring les

In the school over which this teach

present crisis became featured in the
public prints the teacher received a
note from the mother of these chill

to sing patriotic songs or salute the
