 told this to the man who had used it for hatrack just before lay down for little nap, as things were quiet, ane I needed rest pretty badly. When woke up the foot was gone. He had cut 1t of with our chain saw out of the spare parts box, and had plastered the stump over with mud.
 During the next two or three days, before we were relieved, l missed that foot dreadfully; seemed as if had suddenly lost a chum.
 I think the worst thing of all was to watch the rats. at night. and some times in tine day, run over and play about among the dead.
 Near our gun, right across the para pet, could be seen the body of a Ger man lieutenant, the head and arms of which were hanging into our trench. The man who had cut of the foot used to sit and carry on one-sided conver- satIon with this officer, used to argue and point out why Germany was In the wrong. During all of thls monologue I never heard him say anything out of the way-anything that would have hurt the officers feelings had he been alive. He was square all right 1; wouldn't even take advantage of &lmd man in an argument.
 To civilians this must seem dread fUi, but out here one gets 50 used te avful sights that it makes no impress sion. In passing butcher shop you are not shocked by seeing a dead tur- key hanging from hook. We'll, in France, dead body Is looked upon from the same angle.
 But, nevertheless, when our six days were up, we were tlckled to death to be relieved.

PREFER SPEED TO ARMcR.
Allied Aviators Scoff at New Type of
 German Plane.

Washington, May 23.-Aviation cir cles in Washington are not disposed to get overly excited over the type of heavily armored battle planes such as Germany recently sent over the Amer ican sector at Toul. One of these planes downed America's star ace Raoul Lufbery. Immediately there was great demand to know what the United States was doing about meet ing these heavily armored craft.
 Armored battle planes are no new stunt of the last few weeks over the battle lines. The British and French having experimented with them quite extensively. The Germans have sent trial armored planes over the battle lines in Flanders, at Yer dun and one that showed up over the American sector. While it is admitted they have a strong defensive power, due to their armor, and that it makes the attack from the swift but unarm- pred fighters difficult, yet aviators point out that the weight slows down their speed tremendously.
 in some of the experiments that have been made on the allied side, it is known that the aviators after try ing them out have come back with the plea that the armor be taken off and the speed restored they pre- ferred speed as protection rather than armor. While it is not definitely known, it is not thought Germany has been able to produce anything particu- larly startling new in the way of arm ored planes and it is believed the ma chine that appeared over the Ameri- can sector is like those that have been tried before.
 There is tremendous energy being put behind experiments on both sides with putting arlrior on some of the heavily powered planes and still keep ing up the speed. But until speed and armor are combined, the craft will not be particularly effective over exist ing types. Both sides of the air fight, however, are straining to get that combination.

DRAF TED MEN MUST
 WORK OR FIGHT
New Ruling Hits Idlers Hard-Gam- blers, Race Track Attendants Head List of Those Affected-Disre-
 guard Classification.

Washington, May 23.-Every man within the draft age must work or fight after July 1, under drastic amendment to the selective service regulations, as announced today by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
 Those draft registrants who are not engaged in some useful occupation will be given their choice of new job or joining the army.
 The new regulations hold that pro- fessional baseball players are not usefully engaged, and they therefore must get new jobs or join the fight ing forces of the Nation.
 Gamblers, race track and bucket shop attendants head the list of those reached by the new regulations. In- cluded also are bartenders, theater ushers, elevator operators, club and hotel attendants and store clerks.
 Deferred classifications on account of dependents will be disregarded in applying the new rule s. A man may be at the bottom of class one, or in class four, but if he is within the regulations and refuses to take regu- lar employment, he will be given q new number in class one.
 All local exemption boards are au- thorized to use their discretion only where they find enforced change of employment would make hardship on the dependents
 Theatrical performers are exempted from the new regulations at the di- rection of the secretary of war, who declares the people cannot do without all amusements, and that other amuse- ments could be dispensed with more readily.
