had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar Of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush,
and he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches q dose Of their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches Well give 'em taste
Of cold steel with their sausages and

relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad
as it's nearly time for my relief, and I
don't want them to see me a-talkin'
with you. So long, laddie, cheero."
With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and d
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with sneer, said to him:
Instead of whimpering in that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've been
out here nigh onto eighteen months,

post. The whole battalion is. laughin'
and pokin' fun at d company, bad

Mental Hygiene for pefectlve..

"For the first time in the history
Of warfare" says the New York Med
!cal Journal. mental hygiene as prac-
ticed among the soldiers is given the
prominence 1t deserves, and, profiting
by the experience of England and
France in the present war, the sur
geon general was impelled to inaugu-
rate an elaborate organization, both
In number and plan, to take care of
any mental disturbances detected in
the camps or among the soldiers dur
ing the war. This is distinct inno-

the other sentry said they'd pardon
me- For Gods sake-don't tell me I'm
to be shot! !" and his voice died away in
sob.
"Of course, they're going to shoot

When the fact that all hope was

calm seemed to settle over him, and
rising to his knees, with his arms
stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and

ALL BECAUSE JUDGE SMOKED
County o. New York 10 Threatened
With Action Which May Cost
the People Money.

Three lawyers have declined to bring
suit for n prominent New York busi-
ness man upon the ground that it
would be "unethicnl." yet each admits
that the injury in the case cannot be
disputed and that theee ought to be
some way in which the business man
could secure just relief Should
lawyer be found willing to bring the
suit. some extraordinary precedent
rulings may be expected.
Recently, says the New York corre-
spondent Of the Cincinnati Times
Star. the business nan bought ire
built" motorcar. He found, first, that
1t wouldn't run; second, that it diff
fercd. mechanically. from n specific
promise in the bill of sale, and, third,
that the car delivered to him was not
the one shown him by the salesman.
He sued to recover the money he had
paid and the jury in the case, after
being out one minute, returned q
Judgment In full for the amount
claimed. The firm which had sold the
car appealed for a new trial solely
upon the ground that the Judge had
left the bench for few minutes while
the lawyers were summing up. After
the usual delay, the court of appeals
passed on the appeal and granted q
new trial. Meanwhile. the witnesses
necessary for the proof of the plain
tiff's case had disappeared, the most
important having gone into the army.
For years 1t had been the custom of
New York judges to go out into their
private office to smoke during the
summing up Of unimportant civil cases.
No one had thought of making that q
ground for IN appeal until about two
months before the trial of the auto
mobile case, ut which time an appeal
had been based on that ground and
had been granted. The Judge in the
automobile case hadn't read about
this other case in the newspapers and
no one had happened to mention 1t to
him. Therefore, he went out to smoke
as usual.
The business man now proposes to
sue the county of New York for dam
ages sustained through the incompe-
tence and carelessness of one of its
servants-the Judge.

BY FRANK III. SIMONDS.

There is an imperative necessity at
this time to. recognize certain facts
Enthusiastically. We are in grave dan
ger of having the whole situation be-
logged, to our great injury and Ger
manys enduring benefit, If we permit
ourselves to be confused.
First of all, an armistice Is not In
any way related to the making OF
peace terms. It is purely and simply
an inquiry of a beaten contestant for
a statement of those conditions on
which he can obtain freedom from
further punishment. 1t is thus mill
tary matter, purely and simply. 1t is,
in substance, this statement by the
enemy-"I have been beaten: what
must I do to escape further thrash
ing?"
Above all else. an armistice is not a
truce. A truce is an agreement be-
tween two unbeaten contestants to
suspend military operations, either
pending the negotiating of peace or
for a time covered, for example, by
some holy day, as in the wars of an
earlier period. A truce presupposes
equal ability on both sides to resume
a conflict which has not yet reached
a point where either can claim the
right to impose conditions upon the
Now. the response to an armistice
must be based upon the military cir
cumstances which exist. In sub
stance, the party approached through
it's military agent must IN tne nature
of things say: 'I will not permit you
to escape the consequences OF your
defeat; I will not let you have time to
reorganize your armies or reach new
and better positions of defense"
Must Consult Military Chief.
And if the request for an armistic
is made of a civil government, that
government, in the nature of things.
can do no more than consult the mill
tary chief, whose business it is to
deal with military matters, and con-
suit him as to what guarantees are
indispensable to the retention of the
advantages already acquired as a re-
suit of his military successes. There
is not the smallest question Of peace
terms, so far as the whole business
of seeking and granting an armistice
is concerned.
The answer Of the military execu-
tive must be based upon what he
knows to be the minimum guarantees
which can establish and protect his
military situation In the case of Bull
garia, Gen. dEsperey told the allied
governments that only surrender and
demobilization of the Bulgar armies
would suffice, and they accepted this
statement, as did the Bulgarians.
|! The answer of Foch will be equally
final. He has won a great victory.
He is exploiting this victory, and our
armies are advancing from the sea
to the Neuse. Cessation Of hostilities
now can be permitted only If the Ger
mans are willing to accept those con-
ditions which translate into immedi-
ate fact what is bound to be the
eventual consequence Of recent mill
tary achievement
In all Of this there is no room for
any discussion Of the terms of peace.
A man under indictment may apply
for bail, pending trial. but the sole
question then raised is one Of the Sc
curity to be demanded against his
appearance at the trial Exactly in
the Same way we may grant an arm
istice to Germany. on the delivery
Of proper security. but this has moth
ing to do with the later determine
