At one point of the line where the
trenches were very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
1t was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some london

and other delicacies that he had re-
ceived from Blighty in the ever looked

out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted Of a
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars. and occasionally little beer.
but funny thing, Tommy never re-
turned with the beer unless it was in
side Of him., His platoon got Whit of

One night young English sergeant
crawled to the stake and as he tried to
detach the German paper a bomb ex-

had set trap and gained another vic
tim which was only one more black
mark against him in the book Of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-
lations were severed.
Returning to Tommy, I think his
epirit is best shown in the questions he
asks. It is never "who is going to win"

Herr Utsch believes that during the,
first period after the war it will be-
necessary to proceed mainly with the
establishment of individual settlements
near existing villages, for the settlers;
Will find 1t easier to make living and
with the assistance Of the communes.,
buildings will be cheaper. 1t will not

they are known, assistance will be-

We were swimming In money, from
the receipts Of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about the war,
when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector Of the line.
The day that these orders were is
sued, our captain assembled the COM
pany and asked for volunteers to 60 to

Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course in machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and we
rejoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. 1t

would mount our gun on the parapet
and go on watch beside 1t until "stand

would be dismounted and again placed
In readiness on the fire step.
We did eight days in the front-line
trench without anything unusual hap

"carry out" a bombing raid against the
German lines was pulled of. This raid
ing party consisted Of sixty company

The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was a complete success, the party
bringing back twenty-one prisoners.
The Germans must have been awful

barrage Of shrapnel, with a few ''Min-

British Cabinet Already Has Plan
of Work for Soldiers
After War.
GERMANY ALSO PREPARING
Colonization on Farms, Carefully
Worked Out by an Expert, Liable
to BE Upset by Revolt Of
the Proletariat.

London.-The British government is
now at work considering how the great
task Of demobilizing the army and the
resettlement of the soldiers into civil
occupations at the conclusion of the
war is to be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister Of labor is
receiving careful attention, and it is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also is giving this subject
her attention and the series Of articles
by Herr Utsch in the Deutsche Land
wirtschaftliche Presse considers the
proposed settlement on the land Of SOL
diers returning from the war.
Herr Utsch begins by pointing out
that it is national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
to support himself and his family in
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment, he says, due regard must
be paid to the wishes and the capacity
of the individual, and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization, for in no other do
main are the possibilities SO great,
since vast tracts of waste land still ex-
list in Germany waiting to be opened
up and the returning soldier cherishes
no dearer wish than to have home of
his own.
Sees Added Wealth.
At the same time, says Herr Utsch,
the interests Of the country will be
served, since every fresh small colony
Increases the national wealth and
makes 1t more Independent of foreign
countries in the production Of food. He
sees further advantage in attracting
labor to rural districts.
The writer divides the nature Of the
employment of the settlers as follows:
Settlements for men employed In In
dustries or factories.
Holdings for agricultural laborers.
Holdings for Independent artisans.
Small holdings with land attached
up to 60 acres or more.
Considering the first class named
they necessarily will be only possible
