SOLDIERS DO Not FIGHT
ALL OF THE TIME.

Behind British Lines in France
The young soldier under orders to en-
bark for the first time pictures 10 him

As a matter of fact. he will spend
only a small portion of his time in
the front line, and even while there
will only see actual fighting al more
or less rare intervals Life will hold
good deal of base and biIlets for
him even in France.
The time spent behind the lines he
will find irksome or pleasant. accord
ing to whether his temperament is ca
ger and enterprising or the reverse.
For the great majority, however. bill
lets and base camps are very pl as

comparatively light and amusements
are plentiful.
The Associated Press correspondent
paid a visit the other day TO a huge ar
tiIlery base camp, situated on the
French coast near some famous bath
ing beaches and within easy reach OF a
big city. When the camp, which also
serves a large number of engineers,
and some special infantry units and
several theaters, the canteens of the
British Expeditionary force the lounge

Most of the men enjoy the varied OPP
portunities for amusement to the full.
Occasionally one meets a few men,
probably just over from England who
are impatient at every days delay in
moving forward to the business end Of
the line The sergeant major soothes
them with wise words.
Don't worry boys, he says, there is
going to be lots of fighting in this war.
enough for all of you and a little ov-

kept occupied also with lectures and
educational courses.
The veterans are permitted to fore
go these trials to a large extent They
have little to do but to amuse them
selves with sports. theaters, operas and
the beach. subject only to the stipuia-
ton that they must always be prepar-
ed to move off at few hours notice.
Through the army. in the ordinary
course of things. the individual soldier
gets a rest period at the base every
two or three months. Sometimes a
whole unit comes down for rest. after
an exceptionally arduous period in line.
Then there are specially organized
sports. in addition to the standing at
to help the soldier to forget
for a time that there is a war on.
Between amusements. the soldier
spends his time hunting up ''towneys"
that is. men from his own town who
are in other units at the base.

THOUGHT EDIsoN's SON
HAD AN EASY JOB,

Charles Edison. son Of Thomas A.
Edison, says in the August American
Magazine:
Not long ago I went into the office
Of a New York notary public with
some papers wanted to have witness
sed. The notary read along without
comment until he came to my name
You're not Thomas EdIson's son. are
you. he asked.
When I said that was his manner
changed Immediately.
Wen. ne laughed Guess you don't
have to worry much Its pretty soft
for you fellows that can work for the
your old man.
! smiled-but just wished he could
put in a few days working for Thomas
A Edison. I'd like to hear his opin-
ion OF the softness of the job when
he got through. And II wouldn't make
any difference whether he went in
as my fathers son. either
think that is one OF the chief reas-
ons that do work for my father
because he does not make any differ
ence in his business treatment OF me

One of the most graphic and blood
curdling stories of German cruelty to
prisoners in the present war was Civ
en- recently to the Herald Dispatch.
II Is only one of the MANY instances
of Hun brutality which are being re-
ported every day by the news gather
ing agencies, but the close personal
element occasioned by hearing the tale
from the mouth of one who shares the
suffering told OF in the story tends TO
bring the war closer home. This is the
story as told by John Kinney. a Ca
madam, who was recently in Hunting
ton enroute from East Lynn, Wayne
county, where he had been visiting rel
atives a few days:
Shortly before ! left my home in
Canada letter was received from one
of my friends across the seas by his
mother In the letter he told that he
had been taken prisoner by the Ger
mans. but that his captors were treat
ing him royalty and that he had plenty
Of food to eat and was enjoying life.
The letter was of some length and
nearly every sentence lauded the Ger
mans for their kind treatment to their
prisoners But the last sentence read.
Save the stamp on this letter as a
souvenir
The stamp was taken off by his mo-
Their and this is the message she read
beneath. Both legs off. am starving to
death The heart broken mother fell
unconscious. was removed to a hospi-
tai and died a few hours later. The
few words under the stamp had escap-
ed the censorship and had it not been
for that bit Of strategy on her sons
part the mother nor his friends hack
home would never have known of the
prisoners actual suffering and mis-
treatment
He had been forced to write of his
good condition when in truth he was
being tortured and abused to death
This Is but one of hundreds of similar
experiences which have leaked through
the strict German censors and have
reached the folks back at my home.
Mr. Kinney's story corroborates the
recent press dispatches from overseas
which tell of how prisoners are strip
ped OF their clothing and made to
stand in front of red hot furnaces till
blisters cover their bodies: how the
captives are made to live on the offal
and slops from the German army
Kitchens: how men are backed and
bayoneted and then forced to dress
their own bleeding wounds; how every
manner Of abuse known by barbarians

In the story Gunner Depew. which
starts in the Big Sandy News in just
a short while, all these things are
pictured in their true state. as Gunner
Depew was forced to witness Just such

from other wounds too dirty to even
