The horror and pathos of the great

the themes stressed in the talk given
by II. l.. HeinZman, northwest secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. G. A., at the First
Methodist Episcopal church yesterday
morning. Mr.. Heinzman recently re-
turned from field service with the Y.
NJ. c. A. in Europe and has also spent
some time with the United States
troops on the Mexican border.
Mr.. Heinzman is spending two days
in Missoula. He spoke at the First
Methodist Episcopal church on the
north side yesterday morning and at
the Presbyterian church on the south
side last evening. He will speak at a
special convocation at the university
this morning at 1:30 o'clock on the
prison camps Of Europe.

"The Bad Platoon"

In showing the depth to which the
war conditions go to bring out the
soul of man, Mr.. HcinZman told of
a youth in a notorious platoon in a
Canadian regiment. The boy jokingly
asked Captain Mckenzie, pious
Scotsman, to teach him to pray. The
captain led him to Il tent where a
chaplain WAS reading the hymn be-
ginning:
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our feverish ways,
-clothe us in our rightful mind.
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper reverence praise"
The boy was impressed and brought
his fellows next time. The bad pla-
toon became a good platoon. In the
fight the boy was struck on the head
by a flying piece Of shell. He dice
beside his captain with a smile on his
| lips and with the words, Captain,
| learned that song"

in two short sentences, let every

those interested in good roads and

General. T. Coleman DUPONT,
builder of the dupont Road in Sus-

build and give to the State a mod

stone steps leading down to it, two
compartments off to one side lined with
wine bins, where our reserve men and
q few French brancarders (stretcher
bearers) are lying on their blood-stain-
ed stretchers; beyond door that gives
into a small operating room and to the
left another door that leads to a little
sick ward the most pathetic little room
have ever seen-with four beds of diff
ferent sizes and kinds on one side and
six on the other, taken evidently from
the ruined houses nearby-and one tired
infirinier hospital attendant to tend
and soothe the wounded and dying.
In the bed nearest the door. French

pneumonia setting in-and whispering
