There are SO many instances of he
roic deeds performed under fire in res
cuing the wounded that 1t would take
several books to chronicle them. but l
have to mention one instance per-
formed by a chaplain, Captain Hall by
name, In the brigade on our left, be-
cause 1t particularly appealed to me.
A chaplain is not fighting man; he
is recognized as noncombatant and
carries no arms. In d charge or trench
raid the soldier gets feeling of con-
fidence from contact with his rifle, re-
volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with.
something with which he can infiict
harm on the enemy-in other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed,
and is at the mercy of the enemy II
he encounters them, so 1t is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire. and bring in wounded. Also a
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to so over In a charge, but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind of fire, each time re-
turning with wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
bullet through his left arm, but never
reported the matter to the doctor until
late that night-just spent his time ad-
mInistering to the wants of the wound
ed lying on stretchers.
The chaplalns of the British army
are a fine, manly set of men, and aro
greatly respected by Tommy.

two hundred yards from the Germans
(the trenches ut this point were six
hundred yards apart).
Two winding lanes, five feet wide,
had been cut through our barbed wire,
for the passage Of the diggers. From
these lines white tape had been laid
on the ground to the point where we
were to commence work. This in or

we noiselessly crept across No Mans
Land. 1t was nervous work; every
minute we expected machine gun to
open fire on us. Stray bullets Cracked"
around US, or ricochet sang over
head.
Arriving at the taped diagram of
the trench, rifles slung around our
shoulders, we lost no time In getti. 7
to work. We dug as quietly as pos
sible but every now and then the noise
of pick or shovel striking u stone
would send the cold shivers down our
backs. Under our breaths We heartily
cursed the offending Tommy.
At intervals a star shell would go up
from the German lines and we would
remain motionless until the glare of Its
white light died out.
When the trench had reached a
depth of two feet we felt safer. be-
cause 1t would afford US cover in case
we were discovered and fired on.
The digging had been in progress
about two hours, when suddenly hell
seemed to break loose In the form Of
machine-gun and rife fire.

WAGE WAR ON WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
Good rotations and efficient
farm practices will subdue
weeds.
Three main principles Of weed
control must be observed: (1)
Prevent weeds from maturing
seed on the farm, (2) prevent
the Introduction of weed seeds
on the farm, and (3) prevent
perennial weeds from making
top growth.
The principles are the main
thing; the particular method
employed is Of lesser impor-
tance.
Next to the principles ranks
the man behind them. Many
men make a start to clear their
farms Of weeds but give up too
soon. Often the campaign is
stopped when success is in
sight. and the weeds soon re-
cover.
Clearing a farm of weeds,
especially perennials. is no easy
task; 1t requires more than av-
erage intelligence and persever-
ence. If. however. one faith
fully carries out a plan of at
tack based on the above prin-
ciples of weed control he can
practically rid his farm of
weeds without great amount
Of extra labor and expense.
Weed control is frequently a
community problem, and for the
greatest permanent success CO.
operation among farmers Is re-
quired.

Then shrapnel butted in. The music
was hot and Tommy danced.
The covering party was having q
rough time of 1t; they had no cover; !;
just had to take their medicine.
Word was passed down the line TO
beat 1t for our trenches. We needed NO
urging; grabbing our tools and stoOp-
ing low, we legged 1t across No Mans
Land. The covering party got away
to poor start but beat US In. They
must have had wings because we low
cred the record.
Painting and out Of breath. we tum-
bled into our front-line trench. tore
my hands getting through our wire,
but, at the time, didn't notice it; my
journey was too urgent.
When the roll was called we found
that we had gotten 1t in the nose for
63 casualties.
Our artillery put a barrage on Fritz
front-line and communication trenches
and their machine-gun and rifle fire
suddenly ceased.

learned that 21 of our men had been
killed and 81 wounded. Five men were
missing; lost In the darkness. they
must have wandered over into the Ger
man lines, where they were either
killed or captured.
Speaking Of stretcher bearers and
wounded. it is very hard for the aver
age civilian to comprehend the enor-
nous cost Of taking care of wounded
and the war in general. He or she gets
so accustomed to seeing billions of dol
lars In print that the Significance of
the amount is passed over without
thought.
From an official statement published
in one of the London papers, 1t is
stated that 1t costs between six and
seven thousand pounds $3.50. 600 to $685.
0O0) to kill or wound soldier. This
result was attained by taking the cost
of the war to date and dividing 1t by
the killed and wounded.

but 1t is fact, nevertheless. that from
a military standpoint 1t is better for q
man to be killed than wounded.

NOT ONE PUT TO DEATH
FOR MILITARY OFFENSE
1O,S73 Convictions in American
Army During War, Gen. Crow
der's Report Shows.

Not a single member of the Amer
lean Army has been put to death since
the beginning Of the war because of
the commission of a purely military
offense, Maj. Gen. Crowder, judge adj
vocate general, declares in his an
nual report to Secretary Baker. Gen.
Crowder said this fact is the out
standing feature of his report.
every few death sentences have been
imposed" he said, land none of those
imposed for purely military offenses
has been carried into execution"
Records of the judge advocate gen.
erals office show that 1887 officers
and enlisted men were brought before
general courts m atrial. of whom
1873. or IS per cent, were convict
ed. More than half the charges
against officers were listed under
three heads-Absent without leave,
drunkenness and conduct unbecoming
an officer.
Convictions of enlisted men for de-
sertion, the general said, were actu-
ally less than in the previous year.
although the strength of the Army
had increased many fold
The report shows that one enlisted
man was tried and convicted of "be-
ing a spy" and that 773 men were
convicted of sleeping on post.
1t may be Of some interest to note,
says Gen. Crowder, that during the
period covered by this report five
general courts-martial as were tried
during the previous fiscal year, al
though the number Of enlisted men
tried during the same period was less
than twice the number of enlisted
men tried during the year Immediate
ly preceding.
The statistics show that during the
period covered enlisted men were
charged with more offenses which in
volved a disobedience or a failure to
obey orders than any other single
class of offenses. Next in number
comes the offense of desertion. ABB
sence without leave comes third. Fol-
lowing these three in order come lar
ceny, offenses by sentinels or guards,
assault and drunkenness.

Should Be No Discrimination.

'They have given as loyal and pa
triotic service as those who went
abroad, but have been denied what
their hearts were set upon-an oppor-
tunity to serve on the field of battle.
There ought to be no discrimination
against them by reason of the acct
dents of fortune which retained them
here. and the spirit which 1 am seek
ing to create is one which will recog-
nize the service of the country with
out distinction as to place of perform
ance, spirit which will generously
console those officers and men for the
disappointment of their inability to
go abroad by according them full
recognition as soldiers and sailors and
marines in their country's service.
I'm order that this spirit may be
created and preserved, 1 trust the
m emb2rs of your club will not permit
to go unchallenged thoughtless COM
ments which will wound the feelings
of soldiers and sailors whose lot re-
tanned them here. We can give full
recognition to the valor and self-sac-
rif1ce of our overseas soldiers and at
the same time recognize the indis-

at home, both in uniform and out of
it, who were as truly parts of the

From Going Overseas.

Secretary Baker plans to recognize
the services of members of the mill

He has expressed indignation at
what he terms unjust discrimination
by the uniformed between the men
who were fortunate enough to be
sent abroad and those whom the gov
eminent felt obliged to keep from
going overseas.
He recently wrote about the latter:
These boys who have fitted them
selves for overseas service and then
demonstrated such high qualities
that they could not be spared from
home deserve something better than
to be made the butt of jokes by
comedians"
