Fritz became worse nuisance than
ever. He was getting fresher and more
careless every day, took all kinds of
liberties with us-thought he was in
vincible.
Then one Of our crew got brilliant
idea and we were all enthusiastic to
put it to the test.
Here was his scheme:
When firing my gun. I was to play
my tune, and Fritz, no doubt, would
fall for it, try to initiate me as an
added insult. This gunner and two
others would try, by the sound, to To-
cate Fritz and his gun. After having
got the location, they would mount
two machine guns in trees, in little
clump of woods to the left of our GENE
terry, and while Fritz was in the middle
of his lesson, would open up and trust
to luck. BY our calculations, it would
take at least week to pull off the
stunt.
If Fritz refused to swallow our bait
it would be impossible to locate his
special gun, and that's the one we were
after, because they all sound alike, q
slow pup-pup-pup.
Our prestige was hanging by o
thread. In the battalion we had to en-.
dure all kinds of insults and fresh re-
marks as to our ability in silencing
Fritz. Even to the battalion that Ger
man gun was sore spot.
Next day, Fritz opened up as usual
let him fire away for while and
then butted in with my 'pup-pup-pup-
pup-pup-pup." I kept this up quite a
while, used two belts of ammunition,
Fritz had stopped firing to listen. Then
he started in; sure enough, he had
fallen for our game, his gun was trying
to initiate mine, but, at first he made o
horrible mess of that tune. Again
butted in with a few bars and stopped
Then he tried to copy what / had
played. He was good sport all right
because his bullets were going away
over our heads, must have been firing
into the air. I commenced to feel
friendly toward him.
This duet went on for five days

Blouse Fashions.

1t is evident that all blouses that
bear the stamp of fashion will extend
halfway between the waist and knees.
These blouses are often sleeveless
when worn under coats. They are built
of colored chiffon that does not match
the gown, or of linen, albatross, silk
and wooden jersey and corded silks.
Every effort is being made to put out
of fashion the blouse that ends at the
waist line and cuts Off the figure.

rapidly, in fact, got better than his
teacher. I commenced to feel jealous
When he had completely mastered the
tune, he started sweeping the road
again and we clicked it worse than
ever. But he signed his death warrant
by doing so, because my friendship
turned to hate. Every time he fred he
played that tune and we danced.
The boys in the battalion gave us
the "Ha! HAP They weren't in on
our little frameup.
The originator Of the ruse and the
other two gunners had Fritz's location
tapped to the minute; they mounted
their two guns, and also gave me the
range. The next afternoon was set for
the grand finale.
Our three guns. with different eleva-
tons, had their fire so arranged, that,
opening up together, their bullets
would suddenly drop on Fritz nike a
hailstorm.
About three the next day, Fritz start
ed "pup-pupping" that tune. I blew a
sharp blast on whistle, it was the sig
nal agreed upon; we turned loose and
Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the
middle of bar. We had cooked his
goose, and our ruse had worked. After
firing two belts each. to make sure of
our job, we hurriedly dismounted our
guns and took cover in the dugout. We
knew what to expect soon. We didn't
have to wait long, three salvos of
'whizz-bangs" came over from Fritz's
artillery, a further confirmation that
we had sent that musical machine-gun-
ner on his Westward-bound journey.
That gun never bothered us again.
We were the heroes of the battalion.

IRON HADES IN SOUTH WALES
Molten Metal Rolling Down Side of
Invisible Wall Turns Heavens
Into Great Blaze.

The first night spent by a visitor
in South Wales, in the center of the
great iron country, is marked by
wonderful impression. says the London
Daily Mail
In the daytime the iron works seem
only an ugly cluster of tall chimneys
and uneven roofs seen through gray
smoke. More inslstent are the shrill
voices of ragged children and the hud
ding cottages Of the Workmen, at
whose doors stand careworn women
with anxious eyes. And the dim noun
tainS, sometimes half hidden by
sweeping transforms and sometimes a
clear greenish color, every lonely tree
on their bare sides Silhouetted in a
darker hue, force themselves upon the
eye with the tragedy cf heir impo-
tence against the defiling hand of man.
When one stands right beneath the
tips they stand out against the sky
like monStrous caricaturcs of Swiss
peaks. There is something about this
place desOlate and infinitely depreSs-
ing.
But at night when all is dark the
sky is suddenly lit with a red glare.
From the window the stranger sees Il
rudy light touching the billowing
clouds and glimmering away to black
ness between them. He sees roofs and
chimneys standing out in startling
Solidity against the flaming back
ground; the furnaces are opened, and
it is as though the lid of hell We're
lifted Then, on top of one of the
tips, but appearing as though isolated
in the sky, comes stream Of brilliant
gold rolling down the side Of the in
visible wall in molten fire.

SWISS PUT CHECK UPON UNDESIRABLES

Problem for Deserters.
There remains the problem of the
deserters who have managed to flee
across the boundary from one army or
another and of the near-deserters,
those who have come here with the
permission. of their respective govern
mentS, and then have declined to re-
turn. Swiss law prescribes that these
deserterS and refractionaries, as they
are called, cannot be forcibly depOrted.
There are in Switzerland now, it is
estimated, between 10000 and 1000
Of these gentry. Not all of them are
bad citizens. Hundreds of them. at
least, are gainfully occupied and are
living model lives. Others are undc-
Slrabie to the point Of being Out-and-
out criminals. Figures for Geneva
alone show that out of 10000 foreign
ers among its 100000 population, 1886
are deserters and 2,452 refractionaries,
while in Zurich these figures are ex-
Ceeded
The agitation for the utilization of
the man power represented by the de-
serterS and refractionaries is so strong
that it will surprise no one to see steps
taken to incorporate the majority of
them into civilian service of manual
labor in agriculture.
