We knew hat sooner or later these

Poperinghe came about a month after
we had taken the town over. l had a

1t was a cloudy day. and l remember

a taube shot down through the clouds.

+ SOON found the reason for Tom
my's absence, for as soon as | left
2 the car and started out on foot 1
was continually being stopped and ask
ed who l was, what | was. where did
I come from, what was | doing and
what was / going to do. Being on
special duty, l had a pass in my pos
session which bore the French stamp
as well as the British. This pass
would take me anywhere in France or
Belgium, and a flash of it, coupled
with the words especial duty" permit
ted me to go where l pleased. Had 1
been without it l would have been ar
rested about every ten minutes.
The defenses in Paris against hostile
aircraft attack were a revelation to
me. l never saw anything more
thorough in my life. Any of the more
venturesome Germans who care to
make an attempt against Paris are in
for a hot reception.
Two days after my arrival the officer
whom l was to take back to the front
said he was ready to start and TO pre-
pare the car for the return journey on
the morrow. The ride back was IN
eventful. but when we arrived we
found that the headquarters were go
ing to be moved north across the Bel
gian frontier the next day. We were
to take over the job of holding the
town of Poperinghe, which the French
had been occupying. We were then

been holding previously.
this time the roads were in a ter
rible condition. They are made of cob
blestones in the middle. but either side
is nothing but mud, so after a few
days rain if one slips off the stones he
finds himself in a regular quagmire
and will sink in over the axle.
We took Poperinghe from the French.
and while we were moving in they
were moving sut, and the two lines of
transport, each going over the same
road, resulted in some fine mixups.
Eventually we arrived all right and
found that this place was much better
than Hazebrouck, which we had left.
Hazebrouck was the junction Of seven
Railroad lines and consequently a popu-
lar target for German aircraft.
There was every facility for quarter
ing the men and horses, good offices
for the staff, and we were much nearer
the firing line at Poperinghe. In my
car l have made the run from our
trenches to Poperinghe in less than
twenty minutes. so you can see that we
were not very far behind the actual
fighting.
The people in Poperinghe. while they
had seen British troops before, had
<ever had them in the town for any
length Of time, and they seemed to be
very glad to see us. We had several

ing on bis breast I would be willing 70
wager that this was the first one he
hadn't been In for a good many years.
We reached the churchyard without
anything exciting happening. but l was
not az all fussy about pOkiug around
among those graves. The place had
been al shelled TO pieces and the bod
les blown out o. the graves. After
about fifteen minutes search we found
the grave VS. were looking for by the
inscription at the base Of a crude mon
ument and marsed it So we would be-
sure 10 md IL again. The body Of the
prince viii probably be reburied else
where In more peaceful times.
When We left the graveyard the Of
fcer asked how far it was 10 our
trenches. ! told him thar it was less
than a mile. but that It was mighty
risky business going mp IN the day
time. When the colonel found that It
was such a short distance he wanted
10 20 up and see what they We're like.
I was under his orders. 80 there was
nothing for me 10 do but AXE him
there. I spoke Of the snipers again,
but he didn't seem 10 care for all the
snipers in the German army. so we
started up the road.
We hadn't gone 200 yards before a
bullet pinged by close enough to give
a wooden man heart failure. OF

that lifted me of the table and dumped
me halfway across the OOH. The
whole place rocked. and every window
in the house was broken. We rushed
out to see what had happened and
found that one of these guns had just
been fired. | mention this merely to
show what damage the conclusion
alone will do.
During the time the divisional head
quarters was in this chateau the strict
est rules were enforced regarding keep
ing under Y and showing no signs
OF activity around the place. To look
at it from the outside one would never
dream that on the inside several gen.
erals and their stats were working
a tremendous fighting machine. No
autos, motorbikes. bicycles or horses
were allowed within the gates. and
when a man went in be had to keep
under the trees all the way. At night.
while the place was brilliantly lighted
on the inside. not even d glimmer
showed from the road. l guess it was
about the most quietly conducted head
quarters on the whole front.
Viamertinghe is so close 10 the firing
line that il is only a matter Of a couple
Of minutes before an aeroplane can be
right over the place. OF course our
corps headquarters at Poperinghe was
bigger. but was not so near the front.
After those big guns Of ours went
into action there it was only a matter
Of a few days before shells began to
drop in on the place. I happened to be
on the other side Of Niamertinghe
when the bombardment commenced.
and l had TO run through it on my way
back.
AS usual. one Of the first places to go
was the church. and as l passed by 1
caught a glimpse Of the ediice burning
and the priests working feverishly try
ing TO save some OF the contents. As
usual. too. the people were in a panic.
and the road was crowded with them.
One night l was called and warned
for special duty the next day. I hadn't
the slightest idea in the world what 1t
would be. but I'll confess that l was
surprised when l found out I was
wanted by a colonel who had been sent
out from England to ind the grave Of
Prince Maurice Of Battenberg. His
resting place was thought 10 be in the
Menin c~hurchyard. and l was to guide
the colonel up there and vas placed at
his disposal until the grave was found.
Now. the Menin churchyard was
never a pleasing proposition. and from
what l could see it was going 10 be
far from pleasant this time. "Hellfre
corner" was just opposite the church
and a very unhealthy spot. Prince
Maurice had been killed near YpreS
while fighting for the English and hur-
riedly buried in the churchyard. which
had been so constantly shelled that it
was feared his body had been obliter-
ated. English royalty was anxious 10
know il his remains were still marked.
We went up 70 the Porte de Menin.
in YpreS. I'm the car and decided TO
leave il there. as IL was Q advisable
to let a car stand very long on the
Menin road. As we went up the road
l warned the officer 10 be careful. for
there We're plenty Of Snipers about.

Recognized Shipping Board
Sets at Rest Question
Of Construction.
BOTH KINDS NEEDED
Dealers, Slow to Provide Ma
terial, Appealed to on
Patriotism Basis.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ments ship building program as it will
be carried out by the reorganized
shipping board, provides for as many
wooden ships as the country can build.
This was made clear today to pro-
ducers Of southern pine lumber called
here for a conference looking toward
speeding up their output of ship tim
bers.
War demands require the construc-
ton of every vessel-AwOod and steel
that American yards can turn out, the
lumbernen were told by Rear Admiral
Caps. general manager Of the ship
ping boards fleet corporation.
Question Of Price Delays.
The conference disclosed that al
though the southern pine association
pledged enough lumber for, 100 ships,
its members have been slow in FUR
rishing the cut. This was explained
by some as due to unusual sizes de-
manded. but others admitted that
higher prices to be had elsewhere made
many plants reluctant to work on
government contracts.
After Chairman Hurley Of the board.
Admiral Caps and a number Of pro-
ducers had appealed to the patriotism
of the industry to furnish the gov
eminent with it's requirements, officers
of the pine association declared they
were certain there would be little more
difficulty In getting deliveries.
May Commander Yards.
The shipping board may abandon the
plan of Major General Goethals, for
merly manager Of the corporation, for
construction of two government owned
ship yards to build fabricated steel
ships. Ships will be fabricated. but
the work may be done in private
yards to be Communicated Rcquisi-
tioning Of tonnage now under con-
struction will not be attempted until
the probable cost is ascertained.
The problem Of obtaining masters
and crews was taken up at confer
ence today between government Off
Gals and ship owners. representatives
Of masters associations and the sea-
mems union. The conference decided
to name committee representing en-
nloyers, employees and the government
departments to work out an under
standing BY which more men for ships
may be obtained.

THE SPORTLIGHT'
~ oRANrLANo RlcE.

Song of the Stalwart.
When each red fight has been well
fought
When each hard race has been well
run:
When We have gained the peace we've
sought
With no more battles to be won--
When friends no longer need my aid.
And cloudless swings the summer sky
When weak hearts beat on unafraid
In breasts that know no sob or sigh
When love is true and Life is faith.
And on no back there falls the rod:
When honor Is no more a wrath
And no one fears to meet his Cod
when Wrong lies dead and Right is
king.
And there are no more tears to weep:
No cheering songs of faith to sing
And all the earth Is lullcd to sleep
When all the weary millions come
From blood swept fields to hearths OF
home,
When no one hears the rolling drum
On batted land nor crimson foam
Though worn and old---dust unto dust
My body sinks--to other lands
My soul shall break from out its crust
And stll fight on with bold commands.
