Editor Advertiser:

Editor Advertiser:
Around an old steam boiler, steam
ing steadily, whose engine turns the
motor wheel that lights certain
shell torn village are sitting several
dough boys who dragged in, tired,
hungry. wet and cold. After hard
drive certain regiments and divisions
are often relieved, especially if they
have been on the fighting front long
time These regiments and divisions
fall back few kilometers behind the
lines to take a few days rest. Such
movements are made at night-often
on rainy nights when it is extremely
dark. It is net unusual for hundreds
of boys to get lost from their COM
panies during the drives and change
of position.
To lost dough boy at night a
spark Of light is like beacon light
to a bird. 1t lures him onward.
Through a half inch shrapnel hole
in the tin roof these boys around our
boiler saw point glow from our fire
and pulled in to get warm.
In an old boy we had several cans
of corned beef, chree loaves of bread
and a package of coffee. Any old tin
can will suffice to boil coffee in, so
we warmed up the "corned Willie
and made a bucket Of coffee, then
sliced up the bread and passed it
around. The boys said they had a
feast. Fighting conditions are such
that at best one must sometimes go
two or three days without rations.
Their hunger pretty we'll appeased,
their clothes beginning to dry, they
now begin their stories of the recent
drive-how the Germans shel!ed
them every night, how they bided
their time without returning the ire,
how all the while hundreds of their
machine guns were being placed, how
the three inch guns were lined up
lust behind them hub to hub in plac-
es for miles, the line Of six inch guns
behind these, then the eights ard fur
ther back the French 305's, how all
night long, night after night, mu-
niticns wagons were piling up the
shells. The hour would come when the
Germans would be presented with eV-
eryshell and round Of ammunition.
The hour did come and woe to the
eueny in range Of the guns.

the sacred right which our forefath-
ers fought, bled and died for. Those
rights which they purchased so dear
lv shall not perish for the hellish
principle of the Prussian monarch
that might comes before either Chris
tianity or liberty. We may now
breathe a sigh of relief for they are
sinking every day. We see them fast
fading away. Soon some day we will
see new world bloom forth out of
turbulent Europe. May ties of bro
therly love be more closely cemented
than ever before. This cannot be
done only through the Christian spi-
rit. If this is forgotten all else will
perish.
