SHORTAGE OF Bibles

Presses of Society Running Sixteen
Hours a Day.

There is a real famine for the
Word of God" Two continents have
been searched to find enough pocket
testaments to furnish the soldiers
who will constitute the new Amer
lean army.
But they cannot be found-and It's
a question whether they can print
them fast enough to get them to the
boys before they go to France.
The presses Of the American Bible
Society are running sixteen hours a
day. and they have turned out nearly
a half million copies OF the testaments
since May l. But they still have
immediate orders for 10000 tesla
ments-and the Young Mems Christian
Associat ton alone wants loo, 900 copies
of them at once.
There never was such a famine for
the Bible. And what is true in this
country is also true in England. One
Of the largest English publishing
houses could only fill one-twelfth of
an order recently cabled from the
United States.
1t is the ambition OF the Y. NJ. c.
A. that every soldier should have a
testament before the end OF winter.
Most OF these will be given by the
American Bible Society. but they will
be distributed through the Young
Mems Christian Association centers

Arm Wounded, Canadian
Bugler Loses Best Friend
lated by John Guyott, While Here on
Leave Of Absence

A typical incident Of the war was
related yesterday by young Cam
adian who visited the Y. NJ. c. A.
recreation headquarters for enlist
ed men of the army and navy at
Ninth street and Pennsylvania av-
enue northwest.
This young man, John Guyott by
name. enlisted as a bugler at the
outbreak of war with n company in
one of the Canadian army corps.
He was 10 years of age and rather
delicate in appearance. but evident
ly possessed OF such an extraordi-
nary amount of grit and backbone
that his physical shortcomings were
overlooked.

paraphe ernalia for him.
At the first battle Of the Somme in
1915. shortly after nightfali orders
were given for a general advance
''over the top" to a position about
two-thirds of the way across NO
Mans Land" and dig IN. The dark
ness was wcll-suited to the occa-
sion. and the purposes of the vari-
Gus battalions assigned TO this duty
was accomplished without serious
mishap.
According to young Guyott. the
Canadian battalion to which he be-
longed was sandwich"d between two

the latter. At least that was the way

possession of the gap. upon which
they installed their machine guns and
entiladed the trenches on either side,
driving the allied forces out in con-
siderable disorder. The success OF
the enemy was but temporary. how
ever, as reinforCements came to the
rescue OF the threatened positions
and in a bayonet charge the trenches
We're recaptured.
1t was while upon this charge that
the Young bugler lost his dearest
friend. and at the same time received
wounds that resulted in his being
invalided home. His gigantic Russian
Comrade was about five feet ahead of
him. he said when a shrapnel shell
struck his squarcly on his broad
breast. literally tearing him 10 pieces
