We learned more the first week OF our
actual training in England than we
did from November to April In Cana
da. l make this statement without
fear that any officer or man of the
Canadian forces alive today viii dis
agree with me. and l submit 1t for the
thoughtful consideration OF the gen
tlemen who believe that our own
armies can be prepared for service
here at home.
In this war every man has got TO be
a specialist. He's got TO know one
thing better than anybody else except
those who have had intensive instruc-
ton in the same branch. And, besides
that, he's got to have effective general
knowledge Of all the specialties IN
which his fellow soldiers have been
particularly trained. I can illustrate
this. Immediately upon u return
from first leave In England we were
divided into sections for training In
eight sp~ecialties. They were: Bombing,
sniping. scouting. machine gun fight
ing, signaling. trench mortar operation,
bayonet fighting and stretcher bearing.
I was selected for special training in
bombing, probably because l was sup
posed, as an American and a baseball
player, 10 be expert In throwing. With
the other men picked for training in
the same speciality. 1 was sent to Al
dershot, and there for three weeks,
twelve hours a day. I threw bombs,
studied bombs, read about bombs, took
bombs TO pieces TO see what made
them tick and put them together again
and did practically everything else
that you could do with a bomb, except
eat It.
Then I was ordered back along with
the other men who had gained this
intimate acquaintance with the entire
bomb family, and we were put to work
teaching the entire battalion all that
we had learned. When we were not
teaching we were under instruction
ourselves by the men who had taken
special training in other branches.
Also at certain periods OF the day we
had physical training and rifle prac-
tice. Up TO the time OF our arrival in
England intensive training had been
merely a fine phrase with US. During
our stay there 1t was a definite and
overpowering fact. Day and night we
trained, and day and night II rained

I DON'T lay claim to being much OF
a writer, and up till now I have
never felt the call to write any,
thing about my experiences with the
Canadian troops in Belgium and
France, because l have realized that
a great many other men saw quite as
much as l did and could beat me tell
ing about it. OF course l believed that
my experience was worth relating, and
l thought that the matter published In
the newspapers by professional writ
ers sort of missed the essentials and
lacked the spirit Of the bitches" In a
good many ways In spite Of its excel
lent literary style, but l didn't see any
reason why it was up to me to make
an effort as a war historian until now.
Now there is a reason, as l look at 1t.
/ believe l can show the two or three
millions Of my fellow cOuntrymen who

against and what they ought to pre-
pare for personally and individually.

WELCOME,
ElGHTY-SEVENTH CANADIANS

We were a new battalion. We had
been less than seventy-two hours on
the continent OF Europe, and the Ger
nan were not supposed TO know any
thing that was going on behind our
lines.
We learned afterward that concealed
telephones In the houses OF the Bel
gian burgomasters Of the villages OF
Dinkiebusch and Renninghelst, near
our position. gave communication with
the German headquarters opposite US.
One OF the duties OF a detail OF our
men 500 after that was to stand these
two b-urgomasters up against a wall
and shoot them.
In concluding this first article I want
to say frankly that any man who
claims he Is not afraid when for the
first time he goes into that he'll OF fire
OF the western front is a liar. and I'll
tell him so 10 his face. Later we be-
came im%pervious, but that first day
l prayed, and I would have bent down
and prayed only my knees shook so.

On the left were the User canal and

that 1t was untenable. and so we, on
one side of it. and the British. on the
other. had to just keep It secuted and

the first fellows who moved into It
made themselves nice and comfy and
put up wire MEETINGS to prevent any
one from tossing bombs in on them
Thus. when the Germans stirred up
the spot with an accurate shower Of

Too much stress cannot be laid upon this subject when we realize that last year Arkansas had one-twentieth of all the typhoid fever cases in the United States. Do not wait until this diseases carries off member of your family or vour neighbours family before you get busy. The question of having clean drinking water should be taken up by the com munity as a whole. Every man must be interested enough to see that his buildings are situated in a way that they do not contaminate his own we'll or that of his neighbor. If he is not interested enough to see to this, folks living in the neighborhood should make it their business and take care of the situation immediately.

STORE FIRST POTATOES
 FOR SUMMER ONLY
Winter Supplies of This Vegetable in the South Should be Provided
 From Second Crop.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.-It is not advisable under ordinary condi- tions to attempt to carry over larger supply of first-crop potatoes than is necessary to bridge the in- terval between the first and second crops. The winter supply of potatoes in the South should be obtained from the second crop, according to special ists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Because of surplus of Irish potatoes from the first crop many farmers in the South are ask ing the department if it is advisable to trp to carry this crop into the winter. Department specialists do not believe such a practice should be encouraged because it would require much better storage conditions than are now possessed or that could be
 provided economically. The second crop, harvested at a cooler season, can be stored successfully in cheap and ordinary farm storage and kept until spring.
 Farmers should, however, be able to hold sufficient quantity of we'll matured tubers of the frst-crop po- tatoes to supply local and State needs until the second crop is harvested. This may be done with fair degree of success, the specialists say, in cheap dugout such as is commonly found on the truck farms in the South. The best plan is to store the potatoes
 in open slat crates, thus assuring good ventilation and avoiding any risk from heating. Newly harvested and partially immature potatoes stored in large pile during hot wea- ther are likely to heat and thus fur nish suitable conditions for the spread of fungous diseases, and also cause a higher loss of moisture. Small, imma- ture, mechanically injured or decayed tubers should not be stored, and only well-ventilated pit from which the light can be wholly excluded, should be used.

RED CROSS TO SHIP 50.00O
 POUNDS ETHER TO FRANCE

In response to an urgent cablegram from Maj Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross commission in France, the Red Cross is planning to ship to Europe 100000 one-half pound tins of ether.
 Because of the shortage of anes- thetics in France, the Red Cross war Council, in addition, has authorized Maj. Murphy to establish, as soon as practicable. a central plant to manu- facture nitrous oxygen, or laughing gas" one of the most effective and harmless of anesthetics for short op- erations.
 American machinery will be shipped to France for this purpose, and Amer ican operatives will be sent over to conduct the plant.
 Also. by reason of the shortage of surgical apparatus, the Red Cross has planned to establish in France a small factory for the repair of sur gical apparatus and the manufacture of the more simple instruments Four men expert in the repair of orthopedic appliances are to go to France immediately, and the neces- sary manufacturing machinery will be sent over a ssoon as it can be ob- tained.
