Between the lines in ono Mans Land"
With foliage gone and trunk that's torn.
a lonely sentry takes his stand,
Silently watching from morn to morn.
On starlit night. when moon is bright
And spreads its rays Of ghost-like beams,
Against the sky that tree of blight
\ ghastly hangmans gibbet seems
When night is black and winds faint sigh
Through its shel-torn branches means
A call to men, ITO die. to die
They answer it with Croans and groans.
But obey the call for more and more"
And Death sits by and grins and srin.,
And watches the fast-growing score,
The harvest of his scntry's whims
There they lie huddled, friend and foe.
CHASTITY heaps, English, Hun and French
And still those piles forever grow.
They arc fed by the Men of the Trench"
No wooden cross to mark their fall,
NO tombstone theirs. no carven rocks
Just the Lone Tree, with its grim call.
Which forever mocls and mocks

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS

By educating workmen, industrial
accidents can be largely prevented
according to C. ". Price, field sscrs-
tary OF the National Safety Council
Mr.. Price says:
Education OF the workingman has
prevented about SO per cent OF the ac-
cidents usual in certain plants. About
one-third can be controlled By me
chanical provisions. The manager and
superintendent OF plant must believe
thoroughly In the safety first move
ment; foremen also must uphold IL
1t Is pointed out that in every plant
there should be a man who has stud.
led safety methods and has power to
apply them. Mr.. Price declares alsd
that every plant should tell by word
and picture on q bulletin board all
minor accidents and that q COMMITTEES
Of workingmen should be appointed to
and report on all acci-
dents.

power to change it. as both houses
had agreed to It. Some talk was
current that the conferees would
change the dry amendment so as to
permit the importation OF foreign
wines up to next May1. the date
when manufacture OF domestic wines
and beer is prohibited under the
amendment. But the conferees con-
cluded this was beyond their au-
thority. This means the dry amend
ment is not a subject OF further
conference
There was some speculation among
the conferees whether the Presiden;
would veto the food production bill
because OF the dry amendment, or
rather because the House failed to
modify the dry amendment as the
State Department requested because
OF the requests of Italy, France and
other foreign governments. The gen.
eral impression was that the measure
would not be vetoed.
The pure feed amendment Is an
other important amendment which
was put over until Monday. This Is
of the widest interest to stockmen,
millers and grain mon.
