they all told him their vows as soon
as they made them and he was sup
posed to be a sort Of referee as to
whether they kept them or not.
During my second stunt in the front
lines things got pretty bad. The Ger
mans were FIVE to our one and they
kept pushing back parts Of the line
and cleaning out others. And the
weather was as bad as it could be
and the food did not always come reg
ularly. Now, before they took their
VOWS, every last man in the bunch
would have been kicking and growing
all the time, but, as it was, the only
mans pushed US back.
Things kept getting worse and you
could see that the men talked to the
ehaplain more and quite few of them
got real chummy with him.
One morning Fritz started in bright
and early to begin his strafe. The
lieutenant was walking up and down
the trench to see that the sentries
were properly posted and were on the
Job. A shell whizzed over his head
and landed just behind the parados
aud the dirt spouted up like I imagine
q Yellowstone geyser looks.
Another officer came up to the lieu
tenant-a new one who had only
joined the company about a week be-
fore. They hat walked about ten
yards when another shell whizzed over
them. They laid to and a third one
came. There were three in less than
five minutes, directly over their heads.
Then a shell landed on the left side
of the trench and poilu yelled that
four men had got 1t. They were all
wounded and three died later. The
lieutenant went over to them and just
after he passed me lad got it square
not far from me and was knocked
over to where was lying.
The lieutenant came back and
'ned me with the frst-aid roll and
then the. Germans began using shrap-
neI. ia The lieutenant was swearing
hard about the shrapnel and the Ger
mans and everything else.
#a Farther to the right a shell had Just
struck near the parados and made q
big crater and across from It, against
the parapet, was young chap with
q deep cash in his head, sitting on

Partisan Prejudice Broke Down
GRANGE.

The fight of Iowa, in which state,
became a resident, about that time,
was only partially successful Pass
enger fare was reduced on first class
roads from five to three cents per mile
and freights lowered trifle. But the
politicians rallied and partisan pre-
JUDGE was successfully invoked and the
Changers deserted their organization,
running away like lot of scared rab-
bits. -
But the laws were never repealed
for small but vigilant minority stood
guard over them operating first as
the Greenback Party and afterward
under. the name "Populists." The
number of members of the Grange
dwindled from nearly a hundred thou
sand to less than five thousand, barely
enough to keep up state organiza,
ton, and for the time being, the farm
er ceased to be factor in politics.

ALL FRUIT LINERS
TAKEN BY BOARD
! Steamers Will Be Used to
Send Supplies to France.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-The Shipping
Board has Communicated the entire
Meet OF steamers of the United Fruit
Company. which operates between Amer
lean ports and those Of South and Gen.
trail America. These vessels. It is un-
derstood. are to be placed in trans
atlantic service.
This action followed close on tho is-
suance of orders for the withdrawal OF
Pacific Mail steamships from the Pacific
for transatlantic service.
The fruit steamers, II Is understood,
are to be used In carrying supplies to
the American forces in France. num-
Der of them have refrigerating facilities
that are In great demand for the han
ding OF food supplies.
Protests have been received from the
Pacific coast against withdrawal OF the
Pacific Mail ships. These vessels, how
ever, along with the fruit ships were
needed by Gen. Cocktails for the trans
port service to France, and 1t Is under
stood that action in both cases was
taken on his recommendation. 1t also
answers informal complaints made by
some British shipping officials that thi:
| country while calling on British ship
, ping for transports was using available
vessels in commercial trade.
, The United Fruit feet has not here
tcfore been used because the vessels are
designed for the coastwise trade.

CARDINAL CALLS FOR FIND.
War Work Drive Must BE Kept Up,
Says MEr. Gibbons.

BosroN, Nov. 10.--Americaus must
permit no letup in their care for their
soldiers and sailors as peace approaches.
Cardinal Gibbons. head OF the National
Catholic War Council. said tonight In
ar appeal for the support OF the United
War Work campaign next week.
1T would be great mistake" he
said, ito think that the end OF the war
will diminish the need of the work OF
the organizations that have done so
much for the comfort and welfare OF
our soldiers and sailors. After the sign
ing of the peace treaty it will take ma ny
months for the repatriation of our troops
even II they are then free to return. We
must see this thing through to the end
until the foundation of peace and justice
is securely laid. 1t is very evident that
in this period OF waiting and during the
time of occupation. the services of these
seven welfare organizations will be more
needed than ever"

SUGAR RATION ONLY

Persons Serving Less Than
Two Meals Daily Arc
Restricted.

WAsHrNoToN, Nov. 10. - Closer re-
strictions and safeguards on the pur-
chases OF sugar in grocery stores are
being imposed by the Food Admins
tration as a result OF the new order
which permits householder to buy
three instead OF two pounds a month
for each member of the household.
The sugar is being sold now only to
persons known TO be bona fde home
owners. serving at least two meals a
day to their families
Persons engaged In light housekeep-
ing or serving but one meal a day In
their apartments are not permitted to
buy sugar freely.
The individual who disobeys the new
orders risks losing his sugar supply.
The control OF sugar is practically the
key to the whole programme OF regu-
lation and restriction being carried out
BY Mr.. Hoover.

expected that more ships will be avail

In the northern sector, l believe. there

German withdrawal tends more and

Copyright. lns: all rights reserrsd.
LONDON, Nov l0.--The consensus
here is that the peace conference cannot
possibly begin until a lapse of at least
three months after the signing OF the
a rmistice owing to the extensive amount
or preliminary work necessary. The
view Is held that, owing TO the prospects
OF INFINITE complications, such as the
possible breaking up OF Germany into
separate States as has already occurred
In Austria Hungary and involving n
large number of separate delegations
with conflicting views regarding boun-
dairy problems. the life Of the peace con-
ference will be protracted far beyond
the period originally regarded as rca-
sonable to expect.
Giving his private views. one au-
thority said: "The problems arising from
the expressions of the new nationalities
involved alone VIII constitute a hercu-
lean task In order to effect even super
ficial solutions. The amount Of original
work involved In the inaugurating of a
league of nations will be tremendous
evea for instance. its expression In con-
| stitutional and legal form. Although the
enemy will participate as the vanquished
party. ultimately OF course he will have
to agree 10 the terms imposed.
My private opinion IL that the pri,i.
ciple or mutual discussion OF ali
points susceptible of varying interpre.
| tations will he followed. Some idea
OF the extended possibilities OF this pro.
cedure can be obtained from the fact
that even the allied authorities differ re-
sarding the indemnity due Belgium fol
damages for the monetary requisitior
inflicted by the enemy as widely7as from
| $500. 100000 to twice this sum.
| MY personal opinion n that the peac,
conference will give the deepest consld
Grafton to every Interpretation, which II

LONDON, Nov. 1o.-The now celebrated
warning to the Allies by a we'll known
German publicist, who said The junk
ers will fool YOU yet" is emphasized by
the Berne correspondent of the Dolly
Mail. who says the Pan-Germans are
secretly anxious that as a preparation
for peace negotiations the Entente will
remove all censorship on letters and
kilograms and restore full freedom TO
printing and publishing as soon as the
armistice is signed.
He says they are particularly anxious
that England shall permit any Of its
subjects to leave the country at will
and attend the peace conference to dis
cuss with neutrals all matters relating
to the worlds peace.
This seems part of the German plan
for organizing. especially through Brit
ish and American public opinion, a SEN
timental pressure on the peace discus
sions./ In other words. the peace often.
